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


What a lovely stamp set! I decided to create a card with this set---although I think a "new home" scrapbook page would be PERFECT for this collection! 

Here's the card I created for today's hop. 

Did you know you could take a Scrapbook Layout Sketch, and create a CARD by downsizing the design?😮😉
That's how I chose to create today & I'm excited about the results!!

II was INSPIRED by a Scrapbook Layout I saw in our Make It From Your Heart vol 5, How-to book! Check it out! 





If you haven't heard ---TODAY --July 1st is the RELEASE of our BRAND NEW, July/August 2021 mini catalog at Close To My Heart!
Each new mini-book release has a GORGEOUS Mix-In paper collection.  For some reason, I am ALWAYS drawn to these papers 😉, and this catalog was no exception! 
Take a look at the July/August Mix-In paper collection! 


This set includes 6 sheets of paper, but has 12 different designs! Look at these GORGEOUS papers!! I used 4 of these designs and love how you can use this pack on its own---OR---"Mix-in" these papers with the other TWO NEW Paper suites in this NEW catalog! (Wander & Isabella)😍💗 

Take a close-up look at the paper designs in this collection---so pretty!! 


I also used some Gold Glitter paper, cut in 1/4 inch strips, to pull in those gold tones. 

The Stitched Fancy Bracket was the perfect size to accommodate that house image....I love when it works out that way! 

I used Mink ink for the house image and then sponged the edges with our Sapphire ink. 

The finishing touches were adding some gold glitter gems and Gold Embellishing thread...lovely! 


Thanks for stopping by today! 😍🙌
