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

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

While it doesn't quite feel like fall, here in eastern PA....I know the fall weather is just around the corner!

Take a look at the card I created with this month's stamp set.

I found today's card design...in one of our past Idea Books (pg. 35 of our 2018 Holiday Expressions catalog) I'm pretty sure this pattern is from one of our Make It From Your Heart how-to books, but I didn't take time to double check that thought. :)

When I think of fall...I think gold tones...and that led me to do some Heat Embossing of those beautiful leaf images included in this stamp set!

If you click on the photo to see the details...you'll notice the leaf images are heat embossing in gold. What a FUN way to create a background!

You'll see 3 different patterned paper designs. These papers come from our current "Mix In" papers! If you haven't heard about our Mix-In or know what they are....please, please ask your CTMH consultant! :) These papers are BEAUTIFUL & are meant to extend the use of the current paper packs in the Idea Book. I ADORE the patterns and designs included in our Mix-In paper collection!!

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

You will ADORE the gingham border stamp included in this stamp set! I LOVE it and can't wait to use it in other projects!! I also tied some of our Gold Embellishing Thread around the top of the card for some added texture and shine.

That acorn...that adorable acorn! :)
I stamped the acorn with Espresso ink, and then colored it in with some of our Tri-Blend markers to deepen the brown tones.
