One of the hottest trends in crafting right now is going green. More and more companies are working hard at becoming environmentally friendly.
Close To My Heart recently reported how they are becoming a more green company. All of their papers are SFI (Sustainable Forest Initiative) certified, this means that the pulp used comes from sustainable forests and that every process used to create it from harvesting to the final product is environmentally friendly. And that the process to make their clear stamps uses soap and water soluble chemicals for clean up to avoid harming the environment. Visit their website to find a consultant near you. The card shown here is one I made using Close To My Heart papers and their fun set called “Treetops” which is available from their new Summer Catalog and Idea Book.
