~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is this months EXCLUSIVE stamp set, that you can get for ONLY $5 with your $50 CTMH purchase in August!!



What a perfect stamp set, as we will be beginning school shortly!!  

While this stamp set may lend itself to scrapbook pages, of course...I HAD to try and create a card! It was accomplished!!  

Take a look at the CARD I ended up creating with this "scrapbooking" stamp set! :) (I hope a lot of other friends chose to create cards too!) 



This fun, card came to "life" as I looked at our How-To-Books sketches.  This pattern began from pattern #24, Make It From Your Heart, volume 2....however, I didn't really end up looking like that pattern at all! LOL! :) 

I choose to use CTMH's Jack paper collection to create with this card.   
This entire collection will be retiring at the end of this month on August 31, 2017 on a While Supplies Last basis!

Here are the pictures of the Jack paper collection...what a "handsome" paper pack!

Let's talk a few more details about this card....
I decided to white emboss the words, to make it look like chalk...so out came my Heat tool & I heat embossed those "first day of school" words, on top of the Juniper cardstock! :) 

I also wanted to use a few NEW products, that were just released today!!  

Can you find these new products???  


The set of scallops on the left side of the card, were cut using our NEW scallop Border THIN CUTS!! (yup, that's the name for our metal dies ;) ) 
I also pulled out my Cuttlebug machine, and used our NEW 5x7 Alphabet embossing folder!!  Wahoo!!
