Bluebird - Color Challenge

Welcome to this week's Heart 2 Heart challenge! 

This week, it is a color challenge - specifically using Bluebird, a gorgeous shade of blue in the Close To My Heart color palette. A color swatch is shown below. 

Your project does need to feature this color although it doesn't have to be entirely blue - however, please make sure that the prominent color is Bluebird. 

Let's take a look at the design team projects.

Cut It Out

Welcome to another challenge at Heart 2 Heart! 

This week, we are challenging you to cut it up! That's right - whether you use die cuts, Cricut cuts or your trusty scissors to fussy cut, we want to see your cuts on your project. You can use a single cut, a few cuts or multiple cuts.

This challenge is very timely as Close To My Heart currently has its Thin Cuts on sale until the end of March - any of those would be a terrific choice to use in this challenge :) You have until the end of the month to join this challenge or any of our March challenges.

Let's take a look at how our design team members decided to cut it up!

• Seasonal Expressions 1 Cover Challenge

Be sure to use some Close To My Heart products in your projects.
We can't wait to see what you create!

Anything Goes!

It is "Anything Goes" challenge week, and we would love to see any and all projects you create using Close To My Heart products.  It doesn't have to be made entirely using CTMH, just one or more qualifies for the challenge.  This challenge will be open through Saturday, December 2.   

To get you started, here is some inspiration from a few of our Design Team members.  The first one is my daughter's wedding invitation which I "altered" to create a congratulations card for them.

Through the Window

Have you ever looked through the window and wondered what was on the other side? This week at Heart 2 Heart, we are challenging you to do just that! There are many ways to look "through the window" in the paper crafting world - our Design Team will show you some of them. There is the hole in the card or layout approach, the view through a window, a clear box or bag, but these are only a few possibilities... there are many more! 

Let's take a look at what our Guest Designer, Hansi Brittain, did:

For some inspiration you can see how some of our designers incorporated it into their creations.
