Here is this month's EXCLUSIVE stamp set, that you can get for ONLY $5

How ADORABLE is this stamp set??  

Here is the card I created today using images from this stamp.

The butterfly "drew me" when I first looked at this set & I wanted to create with them! I recently saw a multi-window card by a fellow consultant, Tammy Winter, and she inspired me to use this multi-window & create a SOTM card in a similar design.   

TODAY, July 1st, is the debut of our July/August Mini Idea Book here at CTMH --- and that means TONS of GORGEOUS new products were JUST released!!  Everything is NEW & so Exciting!! 

Instead of choosing one of our NEW paper suites to work with, I decided to use the LOVELY Mix In papers ...take a look 

I chose to use the papers that had the kraft & smoothie tones in them and started cutting my 1 1/4 inch squares, to place behind the Multi Square grid. 
By the way -- this Thin-Cut, is a fabulous one! 

AND...do you see the Kraft Stitched rectangle around the outside of the card??  

If you like the multi-square window Thin cut, you'll want to MAKE SURE & know that our Rectangle Stitched Frames fit PERFECTLY around the outside of the card to give it a finishing touch!
Look closely -- the gray image -- is a skinny frame...

BUT...

the White stitched part -- is actually a LARGE, solid rectangle to use on the front of a card base!

I ADORE the stitched look & how it's so subtle, but yet adds so much to the card design! 

Take a look at the flowers inside a few of the squares....yes, they are stamped!!

Where did they come from?? 

Did you notice the ADORABLE small images in this stamp set!?!  

  Here is a closer look at those butterflies! Have I told you lately how much I LOVE our CTMH Shimmer Brushes? If not -- let me give our a SHOUT OUT to them again!! 

I used the Toffee & Peach Shimmer Brushes to color in my butterfly ---and some EXCITING news---TODAY, NEW colors of Green Apple & Lemonade Shimmer Brushes were released to everyone!!  

I finished up my card with Gold Glitter Gems, Gold Embellishing thread & taking my Peach Shimmer Brush & swiping it through the sentiment for a little extra sparkle & shine.
