Multi Colour Owloween

I have to say- I have had a real Hoot with the Stamp of the month, this month! Haha!! This card features the Fundamental paper, which creates the belly band for the flat card. I thought it was cute for something different. The multi coloured owl is coloured with the new ShiHan Twin Tough markers. You can find out more information about them here at my website. 

Remember these are the last few days to get this stamp at the great price of only $5 with a qualifying order. Don't wait too long.

Enjoy! Chris

Tool Time Tuesday

This has been a fun new feature this month where I have lighted a new tool each Tuesday. Close To My Heart has some great tools you everyone, the scrapbooker, card maker, crafter, and even a seamstress. Yes, your read right. Anyone who knows me knows this next tool is one of my favorites! Both of the scissors that Close To My Heart has to offer, the Micro-Tip Scissors and the Non-Stick Micro-Tip Scissors.

These are the Micro-Tip ones..

These are the Non-Stick Micro-Tip ones...

Both can be found here on my website.

Here is a great video about the features and benefits.

Another What A Hoot card

So if one is good then two must be better? This is my second What a Hoot card this month but I think they look completely different from each other. I love the colour combination of purple, green and orange for Halloween. There is a little accent of the new Black Striped Twill Ribbon- love it! You can find it here and it is a great value at $7.75 for 5 yard. As you can tell I have been having so much fun playing with the new ShinHan Twin Touch markers. (I think I am slightly addicted-shhh!)

You can find all the products that I used at my website here. Don't forget to add the great Stamp of the Month, What a Hoot to your order.

Enjoy! Chris

Tool Time Tuesday

It is time again for the Tool Time feature! Close to my Heart has so many great tools to feature for not a ton of money. Here is a fun tool - the Quilling Tool. So fun as a tool to use with our amazing Cricut cartridge! It is great to add the realistic feel to a paper flower. The flowers that you can cut with the Artiste and Art Philosophy cartridges are beautiful. You can find the tool and cartridges here at my website.
Here is an example..

This is such a great tool..

Here is a quick video to show some of the features and benefits.

Enjoy! Chris

My project features the Skylark Picture My Life Cards, this is a carryover item from the last Idea Book. I love the colour combinations. I used the Picture My Life cards on a traditional layout. I cut them up, punched them out and stamped on them. 

The first thing I did was spray the page with Lagoon reinker from a spray pen. Then I added all sorts of cards, they are tucked under, cut up, punched out this all creates layers and texture. Topped the whole thing off with a Glitter paper title, some wahshi tape and aqua dots. 

 Recipe: Cricut Artbooking Cartridge, White Daisy Cardstock, Picture My Life Scrapbooking Program Skylark, Lagoon Re-inker, Brown Tan Glitter paper,Spray pen, Gold Polka Dot Washi,and Aqua Dots.

Happy Owloween Card

They are all great- it is hard to pick a favourite. You can check them all out here.

Tool Time Tuesday

This month I have decide to feature a new tool from Close To My Heart. I feel like sometimes people put aside the purchase of a tool in exchange for a great new paper kit or embellishment but a great tool is always worth it. Lots of the tools that Close To My Heart has to offer are very expensive and well worth the minimal investment. How about $5.50 ? The Bone Folder is well worth it.

Here is a short video highlighting the features and benefits.

Enjoy! Chris
