There are only 2 more days to shop from Close To My Heart’s Seasonal Expressions 1 Catalog. Come Monday, May 1st, items in this catalog will no longer be available (with the exception of a few select items.)
Now is the time to look back through the Seasonal Expressions 1 Catalog and see if there are any items you can’t live without! For example, this Dreamin’ Big Cardmaking Stamp Set is definitely a must-have, in my opinion. Look at this amazing card I created with this set.
Plus, just look at all the useful sentiments contained in this stamp set. They are perfect for birthdays, thinking of you, a special thank you, or just because.
For this card, I used the coordinating Thin Cuts (which are unfortunately already sold out) to create this fun edge to the card. Did you notice the light blue outlines around some of those stamp images? Those indicate coordinating dies to cut out those images. No fussy cutting! Fun, right?
In addition to the fun edge of the card I made, I also did a nice soft, multi-color technique for the wings of the dragonfly. I finished off the look using our Clear Shimmer Brush over the wings for a slight sparkle to them. I love these new Shimmer Brushes (we have a Gold Shimmer Brush, too.) Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get a photo that captured the subtle beauty, but it’s there!
To finish off the card, I embossed with CTMH’s Simple Chevron Embossing Folder and then sanded it. I love the exposed white core to the cardstock. It adds more dimension and more texture.
