Here is a look at this month's EXCLUSIVE stamp set!! 💗

What a FUN Summertime Stamp set!!🌞🍋🍉 

During the month of August, the Isabella collection is our Featured Paper pack at Close To My Heart!  

I love the BRIGHT blue & yellow in this collection, and that's what I chose to create with today! Let's take a look! 😊 

When I'm creating, I like to go to my CTMH website, and scroll through the ONLINE version of our Embellishments section. 😉
This helps me to find MULTIPLE embellies that will coordinate with WHATEVER project I'm working on!💗  

When I did this---I saw the Bold Bitty Beads, and knew the BLUE color in this collection would coordinate with the Isabella paper I was using!  

After finding the beads, this prompted me to "remember" our SHAKER Window collection we have at CTMH! 😉 I haven't created a Shaker card in a little bit, so it was the PERFECT idea to get started on Creating my card! ✂✂

II was also INSPIRED by pattern 24 in our Make It From Your Heart vol 4, How-to book! When looking at this pattern, you can see I deviated from the pattern a bit---but using this sketch helped me start my cardmaking design. 

Here's a look at the pretty Isabella paper pack😍 It's a BEAUTIFUL one, and has a variety of patterns that you can use!💗 You can even choose the 12x12 sticker sheet to be included too! 

I really liked the image of the line of fruit in this stamp set and wanted to incorporate it into my card design. 

For a FUN twist---I used Shimmer brushes to color in the images.....except for the apple, where I used a watercolor pencil. 

I felt the card needed one more thing---- Lemonade Shimmer TRIM to the rescue!  I just couldn't RESIST that sparkly "ribbon"🤩...the perfect final touch! ( I wish it showed up better on the photo!😉)

Thanks for stopping by today! 😍🙌
