Close to my Heart’s new colors are here AND they are available in the newly designed ink pad style! You are going to love these new ink pads! They are bigger, easier to open, and of course the new colors are beautiful!
In this video, I show a comparison of the new ink pads with the old ones.
I created a simple card with the new colors using the card on page 36 of the new catalog as inspiration. I love the new Wise Guy Birthday stamp set. Did you know that this set is also available in Spanish and French?
I used all of the new colors including Raspberry, Blossom, Tangerine, Lemon, Willow, Emerald, and Pansy. The only new color I didn’t use is our “color of the year” Sea Glass. The only reason I didn’t use it is because I didn’t have the pad yet when I made the card. LOL. It is scheduled to arrive tomorrow and I can’t wait to make some cards with it!
So what do you think? Do you like the new ink pad design?

It would look beautiful displayed in your own home or would make a great gift. This month’s local class will be held on Thursday, September 17th at 7pm. (If you’d like to order…
I have seen so many fun shadow box projects lately that I just had to try my hand at making one. I bought an 8″ x 8″ shadow box at Michaels. I think the box was regularly $9.99 and was on sale at 40% off. (Gotta love when things are on sale.) But even if…
I realized that I haven’t posted a layout in a few days, so here is an old one that I just love. My son is so young here and he looks so cute in his little Hawaiian shirt. I have no idea what brand the papers and embellishments are, but they seemed to fit the…
As 2025 comes to a close, I am truly thankful for all of you who joined me on my creative journey this past year, both virtually and in person. It was truly an amazing year. From creating cards and boxes to pop-up projects and seasonal favorites, I have had a ball designing and playing in…
