Hello everyone and another special welcome to my new followers.
I was looking at Pinterest yesterday and came across instructions for a trifold card. I have never really done these cards before, preferring to just do standard cards as they are so quick and easy. However, when I saw the instructions and how easy they are to do I was inspired to try with some scraps of my Chantilly papers and I had purchased a pack of 12 x 12 Colonial White cardstock so it was a lot easier to cut up the card and get the creases right.
This month there is a special deal for National Stamping Month where if you spend $75 you can get the ‘You are My Happy’ stamp set for just $15. This is really great value as the set normally costs $77 and along with the stamp of the month set at $5 you can get all these stamps for $20 with a value of over $100. I can’t believe how generous Close to My Heart is! Anyway the images in this stamp set are cute and quirky and fitted in really well with this card. I have also used a sentiment from the same set on the front of the card and the birthday greeting is from the Card Chatter – Birthday set. I am really loving these stamps as they give a nice crisp image and are so easy to place just where you want to put them.
If you would like to purchase these stamps or any other Close to My Heart products you can visit my website here
