I’ve had loads of fun playing & creating with the Close To My Heart City Sidewalks Paper Suite and well it has helped me increase my stash of much needed Christmas Cards.

My First Card is a cute Shaker card using the Blue Word designs from the City Sidewalks Paper suite & one of the Z strips & some Green & Silver Striped Washi tape. I also used the Wreath Stamp & it’s co-ordinating Thin Cut, the Gift Thin Cut for the bow & the cheeky Elves from The North Pole stamp set made an appearance. The shaker is created with a Flip Flap & holds Gold Sequences that I removed the glue dot backing from. Lots of fun & pretty cute.

The second card I have used the Wreath & Wreath Thin Cut again & only used a scrap piece of the paper & some of the Red Spotted Washi tape, which is part of the City Sidewalks Paper suite. I teamed the Wreath with the Happy To Be Friends Stamp set with the flowers & sprigs of leaves.

And My Third & Final card well it too uses the Wreath & The Wreath Thin Cut (I love these two items at the moment) & one of my favaourite Christmas Stamps Surfin’ Santa. The wreath focuses in on the Surfin Santa & the water coloured background. I used lots of scrap City Sidewalks Paper & glitter tape to create some banners.

I hope you enjoyed what I have created & shared with you today and I’d love for you to leave a comment about what I have created with the Close To My Heart City Sidewalks Paper Suite, before heading off to the next stop.

Now head over to the very talented: Doris Taylor: Creative Inspirations who I am sure will showcase something absolutely wonderful with the City Sidewalks Range!
