Dots Scrapbooking is a Close To My Heart consultant blog. Learn about scrapbooking, card-making, and papercrafting. Learn how to incorporate different techniques such as, embossing, die-cuts, Cricut images, etc. into your creations.
This is the first of three projects from the Wonderland Scrapbook Kit. Any snow pictures you take will have a wonderful home on these pages. The layouts are artistically designed and filled with charming detail. I go through the instructions, showing you how easy they are to make and how YOU can create lovely pages to hold your family pictures.
Here is Project 2 from the Wonderland Scrapbook Kit. The fun and different part of this layout are the round frames for your pictures. I did not add adhesive on 3 sides so I can add my pictures later, then I can glue it permanently in place.
This is the 3rd project of the Wonderland Scrapbook Kit. Your snowy pictures will now have a beautiful place to stay for the coming winter. Close To My Heart creates layouts that are artistically designed and filled with charming detail. I go through the instructions here, showing you how easy they are to make and how YOU can create lovely pages to enhance your family pictures. You can even have fun by adding your own enhancements like I did.
This is a process video showing you the 4 designs of this cardmaking workshop from Close To My Heart. These are not specifically Christmas cards but rather more general note cards for a winter hello! The thin cut snow scenes are adorable and easy to stamp. The cards are not complicated to do and show some easy yet effective details. The white gel pen (available in the new catalog) is my new fav!!!

I love the colors in the Candid Moments Scrapbooking Workshop. The colors are soft enough and versatile enough to go with so many colors. The words "candid moments" leave the situations wide open, too! The beautiful and intricate die cuts provided add so much detail to the layouts, everyone will be impressed!
You Can Scrap Lift From The Close To My heart Catalog!!!
This is a scrapbook layout for your fall pumpkin or fall color pictures. The Pumpkin Spice papers are perfect to highlight these pictures. I used the layout on page 9 of the Sept-Oct 2021 catalog as an inspiration. The Close To My Heart catalogs are full of great ideas to scrap lift.

I made a process video showing the A World With Octobers Stamp and Thin Cut set to make a card combining the Atlantic Hearts Card Sketch 444and Color My Heart Color Dare 467 challenges. This is a slimline card with dimensions of 3 ½ x 8 1/2. The Sage cardstock is that size while the Sundance cardstock is 3 x 8. The pumpkins are cut in Papaya and Sundance cardstock.
Any item not linked is sold out, temporarily. The Thankful script die is discontinued now, but a "Thanks" Thin Cut set is available and has a wonderful shadow around it. There's also Woodland Friends Stamp & Thin Cuts that is a very sweet set that can be used to make friendship cards and it has a "Thankful" thin cut included with a wonderful script font. Either set would be a great substitute. I love the thickness of the Woodland Friends thankful, it would be easier to handle than the one I used.
Any gold loose sequins or self stick gems you have in your stash can be used to bling it up.
I enjoyed making this card and will be sending it out to a friend that is in need of a little cheer. Any of us can use a little cheer as the cooler weather starts rolling in!
This is the Holly & Ivy Cardmaking Workshop that shows 4 beautiful designs with lots of detail and features heating embossing on all of the designs. This kit is available now through October 31st or until supplies last. I am getting ready for Christmas now so my cards can get sent early in December. The heat embossing is so fun watching your designs come alive! I highly recommend it!
