Close To My Heart has something to help every kind of papercrafter say a big “hello” to life!

These Exclusive C-size stamp sets can be purchased for $21 each OR for an even better deal, purchase all three for only $53 - a saving of $10!

Each stamp set is designed to fit with a specific type of papercrafting, whether that’s traditional scrapbooking, cardmaking, or pocket scrapbooking. All the stamp sets coordinate with each other and can also be used together to create dynamic artwork. These stamp sets also coordinate with shapes from the new Cricut® Artistry collection to help expand your artwork options even further.

This is the double page layout I have created using the Hello Life! - Scrapbooking Stamp set CC1040 and Nevermore Paper Pack. This paper pack is designed for Halloween but, as you can see, it works for any photos!

The flowers that I stamped on White Daisy cardstock, I just fussy cut out with my Non-stick Micro Tip Scissors. They are fabulous for cutting finer details. I raised one of each with 3D Foam tape and stamped the leaves directly onto the page with Black Exclusive Ink.

I used a different Stamp Set for the banner - D1648  Snapshot  Memories and daubed around the edge with Black Ink. I then added some Clear Sparkles for bling! Cardstock colours used are Sunset, Eggplant, Pear and Black.
All products used can be purchased from my website here.

Today I would like to share with you a double page layout which features September 2015 Stamp of the Month

Paper Garden S1509 

available exclusively throughout September for $7.50 when you spend $75. Or just pay rrp of $27 for the SOTM if you don't need to order $75 worth this month. 

I really wanted to try background stamping with these stamps and as you can see, I went a little crazy with colour! I chose Cashmere, Sorbet and the new Pomegranate Inks and Cardstocks.

I started with the Cashmere Ink and randomly stamped different flowers on the White Daisy Cardstock. I then stamped in Sorbet and finished with Pomegranate. I chose Sorbet Cardstock to mat the photos and roughed up the edges with our Edge Distresser to show the white core of the cardstock.

I daubed the edges of the white journal box with Pomegranate and stamped another flower image.

I added a strip of Cashmere Cardstock along the top of the Sorbet photo mats. The Thick Twine down the sides is also our new colour Poppy Z3094.

I added a couple of Pomegranate Cardstock accents, some bling and our new Coral Shimmer Trim Z3088 along the bottom.
