I created this card, but did not want to use one of the sentiments from this stamp set. 

Can you guess WHERE I found the word “Home”?


Yes - you guessed it!!  I cut apart the word HOME from the one saying!  The adorable heart added the special touch!  I LOVE the versatility CTMH’s clear stamps bring to the CREATING world!! J

Here is a close up of the doll image…

I used our alcohol markers to color her in…and then “popped” her up with a 3d foam square! 

I was excited to use the heart stamp in this set, to create a tone on tone background!! By using Creme Brulee ink stamped on Creme Brulee cardstock, you can achieve a subtle, but beautiful background piece! 


Take a peek at the chevron embossed background piece…
