If you are familiar with Close To My Heart, you know that August 1st is a Special day…it’s the DEBUT of our NEW Annual Inspirations Idea Book!! J

Along with a new Idea Book…means NEW PRODUCTS…WAHOO!!!

Take a peek at the fall card I created…

I’m excited about the TWO new border punches we carry…so I used the Triangle border punch & backed it with a scrap of our brown & tan glitter paper.

Here is a close up shot…

See the NEW embossing folder??  It’s a woodgrain design!!  I inked the top of the embossed design with Champagne ink, and then rubbed the edges of the front square in chocolate ink. 

In the new Idea Book (debuting Aug 1st) you will see that we have added another 4 designs to our 5x7 embossing folder collection!!  J
