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

Look at this BEAUTIFUL collection...and I ADORE the fonts in this stamp set...so many useful, everyday sayings!

As I was thinking about "what" to create, using this stamp set I like to set goals for myself.  So my creating goals were to...
1. Use both of the FEATURED paper packs for the month of September.
2. Stamp a background pattern, somewhere on the card. 

Here is the card I created for this month's hop.  

The original design for this card, came from our last year's Annual Inspiration Idea book...the "thanks" card is found on page 19.  I love to use past catalogs for inspiration whenever I can! :) 

Since this month, September 2017, we have TWO featured paper collections at CTMH....I used TWO paper packs! :)  

Check out these 2 NEW collections that were just RELEASED TODAY!! 

Cats & Bats

Falling For You

(click on the photos above, to make them larger) 
These papers will be current until Dec 31, 2017 OR While Supplies Last...whichever one comes first ;). 

Let's talk a few more details about this card....

I wanted to do some type of background stamping.  I found this dotted designer paper in the Falling For You collection, & thought I could add some more design to this paper. It's amazing how much it adds, by stamping a few of the stems of leaves! 

 Ta-da...a "new" B&T paper!

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

Can you find these new products???  

The Bronze sequins & the White & Bronze twine :)  So pretty!

AND...of course, a little bit of shimmer goes a LONG way ;)...out came the gold shimmer brush to give my feather a bit of sparkle!!

Cardstock colors used: Almond & Espresso

Inks used: Espresso & Fern
