CTMH Confetti Wishes Birthday Candle Card

Something about these birthday candles makes me want to follow a wavy pattern!  I just can't stand cutting any of those fun candles off…so fussy cutting to keep the candles intact is working for me!  

I've added our vellum layered Candles icon from the Confetti Wishes Assortment as a focal point, then splashed around with some more of my sparkles…who can resist?!  The banner tags are from the Confetti Wishes Complements and a touch of gold shimmer trim to finish the card off!


 Make a Wish!!  What would you wish for?

CTMH Confetti Wishes Birthday Cake Card

The birthday cake layers featured in this card are individual pieces from the Confetti Wishes Complements, allowing you to create some smaller cakes or a large one, depending on your project!  

I really like the little splash of ribbon at the bottom and of course some bling with our sparkles and purple shimmer trim!  The colorful resin squares are from the Confetti Wishes Assortment.

CTMH Confetti Wishes Scrapbook Layout

The colorful papers in Confetti Wishes provide a fun backdrop for birthday celebrations!!  The color palette includes Canary, Crystal Blue, Lagoon, Pacifica, Pear, Thistle, Whisper and White Daisy!

I used foam tape to "pop" the Confetti Wishes stickers for a little dimension and cut the "balloons" so I can have them float in the center of the layout.  The canary stars overlay were cut using the CTMH Cricut Artbooking (<Overlay><Shift><Happy> at 11").

Sprinkling our Bitty Sparkles (Z1263) across the layout and title to give this celebration a little more party fun.

The celebrate candles paper looked like an easy way to add a decorative border to the layout!  I hand-cut along the celebrate and candles to give a wavy touch to this otherwise square layout.  The Confetti Wishes Assortment has 13 adhesive-backed pieces of resin squares and layered vellum shapes!  Accented with our Purple Shimmer Trim, how can you go wrong?

CTMH Hopscotch Lovely Day Card

The sentiment on this Hopscotch card comes from our Lovely Birthday stamp set (B1462).  I was on a roll with the journaling pen, so added some doodles around the sentiment to frame it in with a Junebug Puffie in the corner for some character!  A strip of White Shimmer Trim and a few Aqua Dots and I'm liking this card!

CTMH Hopscotch Hawaii Scrapbook Layout

One big perk to having my Close to My Heart business is the ability to earn a vacation each year!  Last month we enjoyed my 8th incentive trip at the beautiful Aulani Disney Resort in Hawaii!


A fun tradition on our incentive trips is the Secret Sister exchange.  We're each given another consultant to spoil on the trip with artwork, snacks and goodies and at our closing reception, we "reveal" who we are!

One of the gifts I made for my secret sister is this Hawaiian themed scrapbook layout using the Hopscotch Collection and an exclusive incentive trip stamp set CTMH designs just for us.  


The layout pattern is from the Magic Pattern Book (9040), Disappearing Act pattern.


It still amazes me how my passion for scrapbooking and paper crafting have grown into a wonderful business, complete with dream vacations!  If you're interested in learning how you can start your own business, I'd love to show you how and invite you to experience what Close to My Heart can offer you…whether it's a little crafting money, making a house payment, funding college, or a fabulous vacation, I'd love to show you how Close to My Heart can work for you!
