A Nutcracker Collection

Inspired by Color My Heart

The color challenge at Color My Heart inspired this Nutcracker Collection.

It was too hard to pick just three colors. These colors are Nutcracker colors.

So..I made four Nutcrackers with New England Ivy and four different jackets.

All cards are from Make It From Your Heart Vol. IV.

Pattern #7 New England Ivy, Goldrush, and Sangria

Pattern #20  New England Ivy, Goldrush, and Peacock

Pattern #6  New England Ivy, Goldrush, and Smoothie

Pattern #22 New England Ivy, Peacock and Sage

Meets Color My Heart

It's Pumpkin Spice time at Heart 2 Heart and 

an inspirational photo of color at Color My Heart.

I used purple, green, and orange with a black background 

from the photo below for my spicy "Hello Pumpkin" card.

Make It Sparkle

With Glitter Paper

I was having a hard time deciding what to do with

 the gold glitter circles that were left over from my 

Holiday Cheer Ornaments. Then as I was reviewing

 the challenges at Heart 2 Heart I see the challenge 

for Sparkle. So.... I gathered my circles and

 made some glittery sparkle gift tags. 

Thank you Heart 2 Heart.

Fall is in the Air 

At Heart 2 Heart

This is the last week to get the October Stamp of the Month "Autumn Air."

It's a great stamp set for cards and scrapbook pages. Using  the Multi Square Window die cut

makes it easy to make a simple background for any card. Remember you don't have

to use all the squares. You can cut random sections for more open areas. I cut the big section at the top and inserted a Layered Leaves thin cutd for a background for the word "fall." I cut another smaller section for the words "in the air." Then added leaves randomly to complete the card.

Be sure to share your Fall creation with us at Heart 2 Heart.

I used the Tic Tac Toe color board from Color My Heart

 below for my colors: Paprika, Toffee, and Saffron. Added just a touch of Sage for the green.

Now it's your turn to create with the Tic Tac Toe Color board and share with us at Color My Heart.

Color of the Year

Julep

This card is inspired by the challenge at Heart 2 Heart.

Close to My Heart's color of the year is a soft green 

called Julep. It's versatility makes it easy to combine 

with many color from the CTMH color pallet. This 

card mixes Julep with black and a soft side of Sapphire. 

Now grab your Julep and share your color 

combos with us at Heart 2 Heart.

Color Dare #364

 Meets Sketch #339

Close To My Heart's paper pack "Boutique" brings out my colors from the color pallet at Color My Heart. I used the colors Glacier, Saffron, and Peacock for my card. I've been working on Nativity cards for Christmas and liked these colors for a card. I also like the sketch at Atlantic Hearts for my pattern. Thanks Color My Heart and Atlantic Hearts for adding to my Christmas Nativity cards.

Halloween Fun

After 21 years with Close to my Heart I have collected too many Halloween stamp sets. Not wanting to add to my collection I decided to use Artbooking for Halloween this year.

It's Mixed Font Time

At Heart 2 Heart

Close To My Heart has wonderful sentiments 

with mixed fonts. One of my favorite stamp 

sets is Some Kind of Wonderful. 

YOU'RE SOME KIND OF is all printed caps 

and the Wonderful is done in a beautiful script. 

The combination is very appealing
