Here is this months EXCLUSIVE stamp set, that you can get for ONLY $5 with EVERY $50 CTMH purchase in JUNE 2019.

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

What a FUN set, and I can't wait to see what my CTMH sisters create with this stamp set! :) I'm sure you saw some beautiful work already in this hop. :)

Today, I chose to create this card design using this stamp set.
Let's check it out!

I was inspired by a recent card I saw, where the vellum was used as part of the "opening " part of the card!! What fun!! I ADORE our Decorative Border Thin cuts that I used to cut our vellum...that stitched edging has so much appeal!

Take a look at this BEAUTIFUL paper collection that I took my colors from. This paper collection is called "True Love. I only used one sheet of patterned paper (the sapphire blue in the background) but used the cardstock colors in this collection to finish out the card!

Let's take a look at some of the details of this card.

There are SO MANY new Thin Cuts (metal dies) in our Seasonal Expression 2 (SE2) catalog, that was released on May 1st, and this is Lace Border is a popular one!! It is back ordered until the end of July! I knew a lot of you already had this border & could use it to recreate this card if you chose.

I "fussy cut" out the flower out of the Cake!! I love to use as many stamps as I can from one particular stamp set! :)
I colored the flowers with TWO of our shimmer brushes....Mint & Sugarplum. I wish you could see the shine on these flowers!!

Another fun technique, I hadn't done in a while....creating my own background. I used the "make a wish" wording of the June SOTM, and created a subtle background for part of my "patterned" paper. :)
