Here is this months EXCLUSIVE stamp set, that you can get for ONLY $5 with your $50 CTMH purchase in AUGUST 2018.

I LOVE that we have an EXCLUSIVE stamp set available at a DISCOUNT each & every month!!

This stamp set sure calls out to ALL types of crafters! AND...I couldn't pass up the sentiment in the stamp set that involved GLITTER - LOL!!

I used Pattern #15 from the Make It From Your Heart, vol 4 How-To book.
Take a look at the card I created today....

The started off choosing which paper pack I'd like to use...and that ended up beign the BEAUTIFUL collection called "Documented" collection. I love the tones in this paper pack, and by choosing certain papers in the pack, you can get a TOTALLY different look! It's an easy collection to use for creating for a BOY or a GIRL!
Take a look at these beauties....

Since this wording was ALL about Glitter....I needed to make SURE I had a lot of GLITTER on my card! :)
I pulled out my Bashful Glitter Paper (this color will be retiring at the end of August!) AND....
I pulled out my BASHFUL Glitter Brush (this will be retiring too!)

Can you see all the fun SHINE on the card?
I used my Glitter Brush to color in the word "Glitter" AND I also used it on top of the Bashful Pink stitched heart.

There isn't a border stamp set in this collection, however - I wanted to use more than 1 stamp from this collection....so I used the large heart & stamped part of it to create my side borders....see the dots?

I finished up the card with some gold & white twine along with the BEAUTIFUL Documented dots.
