Creating with Crimson

Welcome! Thanks for joining me here for the Cross Canada Blog Hop!  Here's to sunny, fabulous weather in Canada! May means a new Close to my Heart catalogue and it is fabulous! In this catalogue there are two different paper collections, a mix in paper collection and a special collection to help celebrate National Scrapbooking Month in May! For this blog post, I am going to be showcasing a scrapbook layout featuring the National Scrapbooking Month Special - You Are Enough.   I can't even tell you how much I love this collection.  The jewel toned colours and the strong, empowering vibe in this collection make this girl happy! For this scrapbook layout, I have used the You Are Enough Paper Collection - Paper Packet + Sticker sheet, Coordinating Cardstock and the You are Enough Sequins as well as a few other supplies. I used my Clear shimmer pen and sangria ink pad to colour on the wooden heart shapes. Supplies used to create this layout: - You Are Enough Paper Packer and Sticker

May 2021 - New month means a new Stamp of the Month from Close to my Heart! May 2021 Stamp of the Month is Flowers for You (S2105) and it is fabulous! This Stamp of the Month is great for scrapbook layouts, cardmaking and has so many versatile sentiments. This card was inspired by the large flower bouquet and the You Are Enough Paper Collection from Close to My Heart. I love the papers and colours in the You Are Enough Paper collection.  I think it is perfect collection to create some amazing cards for some fantastic people in my life. The large flower bouquet image was created two tone using the stamping technique - Rock 'N Roll. Close to my Heart has this great stamping video showing you how to create the Rock 'N Roll stamping technique. For this card, I used a FREE sketch found on the Close to My Heart blog.  Find the blog post and FREE sketch here: https://blog.closetomyheart.com/2020/11/03/free-card-patterns-for-animated-cards For this card, I used the following supplies:
