Here is this month's EXCLUSIVE stamp set, that you can get for ONLY $5 with EVERY $50 CTMH purchase in May 2020.
I get SO EXCITED when I see new stamp sets with words and sayings, so you can IMAGINE how happy I was to see this "Time to Celebrate" stamp set! I can't wait to see what my papercrafting friends come up with when using this stamp set!
Here is the card I created today....

Let's take a look at some close-up details :) ...but FIRST----
In case you haven't heard ---today MAY 1st---was the release of our NEWEST bi-monthly mini book! Make sure to check with your consultant about ALL the goodness inside!!
May is a MONTH to Celebrate, as it is International Scrapbooking Month!! Yay! We papercrafters, LOVE to celebrate!!
I used papers from our EXCLUSIVE Blue Skies collection for the floral Cricut cuts of this card.
Can you see the Clear Embossed patterned design on my cut out flowers & leaves?
That coating & design is already printed on the cardstock when it arrives from CTMH!! WOW!!! It's BEAUTIFUL!!
---AND---Exciting news!!
CTMH has just RELEASED 2 new mini Cricut collections---exclusive and ONLY available from YOUR Close To My Heart Consultant!!
I used the NEW "Cricut Stitched Flower" collection for the flowers & leaves. (I think I may need a new blade in next time, so it can cut those beautiful flower centers a bit better ;) )
All of these shapes above for ONLY $9.99!!
Did you see the TAG tucked behind those flowers----drum roll please!! This tag is apart of our NEW Tags & Tabs Thin Cut collection!
I cut the tag from our new Mix-In paper pack....take a closer look by clicking on the photo, and you'll see the Mink striped, pattern design on the tag.
The background of my card was created with another NEW item :) ....yes...I was having FUN!! LOL!!
Take a look at what our NEW Quilted Embossing folder can do!! Lovely!!
I ran Lagoon Cardstock through my Cuttlebug machine twice ---one time using the "true" Lagoon colored side. The second time I used the backside of the Lagoon cardstock -- the lighter side.
I then took my handy Micro-tip scissors, and cut out every other square and pasted it on top of the coordinating square to get my two-toned "quilt". :)

To finish off the card, I took Sapphire Cardstock and used my Stitched Rectangle Thin Cuts to get the beautiful stitched frame on the edge around the card base.
