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

I really enjoy WORD stamps...and I can't WAIT to see what my other consultant friends created with this stamp set! :)

Today - SEPTEMBER 1st -- is a pretty exciting day in "Close To My Heart Land". It's the day that our TWO new Idea Books are released!! Woot!! Woot!!

Let's take a peek at the cards I created today AND you'll get the opportunity to see some BEAUTIFUL new products!!

Here are my cards...

I found today's card design...in our Make It From Your Heart (MIFYH), vol 4 --- pattern #1. If you follow me here or on my other social media accounts, you KNOW that these How-To books are one of my FAVORITES things that we carry at CTMH!

Let's talk about this NEW paper collection!! We call it "Every Little Thing" and it SURE is a BEAUTY!!

Do you see that PRETTY green color in this paper pack?
I'd like to INTRODUCE to you our "Color of the Year" --- Julep!

You will find this color intermixed with many of our items & you also find things ALL Julep too...here's a peek!

Ok...back to the card...and DETAILS!!

There are a LOT of things NEW in this photo above!!

1. Vellum Diecuts
2. Spectrum Noir Triblend Alcohol Markers
3. Shimmer Brushes -- Julep & Wisteria
4. Every Little Thing paper pack

You'll want to make SURE to contact your CTMH Consultant to get your hands on the NEW Idea books....there are so MANY beautiful things inside of them!

In the butterfly above, I also used the Black Shimmer brush for the body of this insect.

I used a piece of our Black Shimmer Trim to give this card a bit of sparkle. If you "know" our shimmer trims, you may notice it's a bit skinnier than what our shimmer trim usually is.

It's an easy fix & one you'll need your paper trimmer for.

I put a SMALL amount of adhesive on the base of my paper trimmer. Lay the shimmer trim in the middle of the lines....and pull my shimmer trim "taunt" for the entire 12 inches.

Next, I'll close the cutting guide...and make sure my blade is resting in the MIDDLE of the shimmer trim.

When it's all ready to go...ta-da!! Cut ...and you'll now have 2 SKINNY pieces of Shimmer Trim!
