Close to My Heart

Wander at Grand Canyon

I just can’t help it. The blog prompter asked for a title. I think newspaper title in my head. . . .

These pages are the first scrapbook layouts I’ve done by cutting into new papers! it was so satisfying.

I did some playing with Cricut Design Space too. There is a full process video below.

Explosion Flap Fun Fold Card

The front of this card doesn’t give the receiver a hint of what the inside holds!

It’s a card that packs a big impact but is really easy to create. (YouTube Process below.)

I could see using this as “a 10 things I love about you” card.

Here it is with a different set of papers (You Are Enough)

If you would like the PDF file I sent to my club card, just send an email to Amanda@craftingwithamanda.com and ask for the July Club Card template.

June Club Cards

I love this little side diamond fold for a card. It’s a good size for a gift card, and for a nice little message to cheer someone.

Stars & Sparklers paper

Pieces to decorate:
2 1/2 x 2 1/2 (for diamond)
2 1/2 x 4 1/4 for the remainder of the front.

I am loving the versatility of the Stars & Sparklers paper pack.

Father’s Day Card with Stars & Sparklers

The main “trick” to creating this fold is after you have scored all the lines and made sure they are crisp folds, you fold the side 2 3/4 back onto the card, then fold it in half from the top. All that’s left is to gently push the point of the diamond towards the center of the card. Here is the video with the details.
