Close To My Heart Believe In Yourself Card

Hello crafty friends,

Happy Sabbath! I hope you are enjoying your day of rest and doing some crafting. Today I am sharing another card I created with some more Close To My Heart goodness! So let’s get right to it.

Believe In Yourself Card

The finished size of this card is 4.25 x 5.5. I used a kraft cardstock base.

The sentiment is from the Believe in Yourself Everyday Life Stamp Set. I stamped the sentiment in Sky Ink.

The flowers were stamped with the Hello Blooms Stamp set. I used Buttercup and Honey Ink for the flowers and centers. I topped off the centers with Pink Gems.

How I Made This Card

I started by sponging my white background mat. I used Cotton Candy and Pear Inks. I cut the sponge I received in my consultant kit into 8 “pie wedges”. I then dabbed one piece in the ink and then dabbed it onto the paper.

Once I finished sponging the background I used the hounds tooth background stamp from the Distressed Background Stamp set.  Tip: I started with my first stamp in the middle and worked up and out so that I wouldn’t have too much overlap of the different colors.

Here’s what the background looked like once I finished stamping it. I know it looks like a “hot mess”, but It is okay because a good portion of it will be covered by the other elements, etc.

Next I cut several flowers out of the SVG die cut file that I created for this stamp set.

Purchase this stamp set from me and I will send you this cut file set free. Just purchase through my online gathering link:

Here’s a photo showing you where to find the gathering  link on my CTMH page.

This photo shows how I stamped and then layered the flower. The bottom layer is stamped in honey and the top layer is stamped in buttercup. The center is stamped in Honey.

Here’s one last look at this card. I just added the honeycomb cut file overlay I created and a strip of ribbon and a bow, and it was ready to go!

Here are the overlays I made. They fit the Honeycomb Stamp Set. This cut file is in the following formats: AI, DXF, EPS, GSD, KNK, STUDIO, SVG and WPC.

So on to my cards for today. Here’s the first one

Here is my first card. It is a very simple card. A standard A4 size. I cut the base from some Kraft cardstock. Then I used some white cardstock for a mat. The two paper images were matted onto some additional kraft cardstock and on one, I used the Live In the Moment stamp from the Skylark Workshop On The Go exclusive stamp set. You can choose to purchase this workshop on the go kit separately or if you sign up to become a consultant, it is part of the New consultant package. I inked the edges of the patterned papers with some Desert Sand Ink. This is one of the ink pads included in the new consultant kit as well.

Here is a closer look at the pretty little gems. They are from the Sparkles Brown and Tan Assortment. The chevron pattern strip of paper is also from the Skylark paper. It is the top strip.

My Second Card

Here is my second card. All the paper is once again from the Skylark paper pack. The pretty bird and word believe are already printed on the paper. I simply cut that portion out to use as my focal point for this card. I then used the Remember This stamp from the True to Life Everyday Life Stamp Set. This stamp set is one of the sets that is in the new consultant kit in this month’s special. I once again created corresponding cut files for this set. The cut files are in AI, DXF, EPS, GSD, STUDIO, SVG and WPC formats. so they should work with almost all of the electronic die cut machines currently on the market.

Here is a closer look at the pretty flower embellishments. It is part of the Skylark assortment pack. Another product in the consultant kit. I punched a 1” circle in Kraft paper to add cohesion to the mat and make the pretty little flower really stand out.
