If you have arrived from Debi's blog you are right on track.

Happy Friday to you! 
I hope you've enjoyed this hop so far...today I wanted to share a simple card using our Stitched Flower Thin Cuts (metal dies) ....take a look.  
  

This set of cards was sent to all of my customers that placed a July online order with me....I created 23 of them! I'm so blessed & so thankful for the JOY that papercrafting brings to so many of us, and I wanted to share my thankfulness to them! 

Here is a close up of two of the cards...let's talk about how EASY these cards were to create ;) 

First...let me list the items on this card that ARE LEAVING us on August 31st or While Supplies Last. 
Make SURE you talk to your consultant before they are gone!!

***Stitched Flower Thin Cuts (metal dies)

***True Love paper pack

***Flower Garden Embossing Folder 

Back to the original set of 5 cards...do you see they used ALL of the same paper pieces in each card? 

They were just arranged differently or turned over to use the opposite side!!  So FUN!!

  

The Flower Stitched thin Cuts are some that I will MISS a lot!!  I love how much they added to the card...even without any fancy embellishments!

I AM pretty excited that our stitched ovals (shown on the card), circles & hearts WILL be carrying through to our next season!! Yay! 

I ADORE Embossing Folders...and the Flower Garden folder ALONG with the True Love paper collection will be leaving us August 31st too!

While this may be sad (for a moment) REMEMBER....when our lovely items leave, that means we make ROOM for some BEAUTIFUL, new items!! Wahoo!! 


I hope this has INSPIRED you, that when YOU need to make multiple cards....take a moment & give your brain a work out! :) 

Take those pieces...and "mix them up" on your card to create a NEW design with the pieces you already have pre-cut!! 



Happy Crafting & have a LOVELY weekend!!! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now it’s time to Hop on over to Stephanie's Facebook Page....   if you don't have FB, and would like to continue on the hop...please click here to go to Joyce's Blog and see what BEAUTIFUL, crafty item she has to share with us today! :)

August Stamp of the Month Blog Hop - From Me to You

Welcome to our monthly Stamp of the Month (SOTM) Blog Hop!!!

If you have come here from Jessica's Blog, you are on the right track!!

This month, we will be featuring the EXCLUSIVE August SOTM stamp set called "From Me to You".

This blog hop is a great big circle, so you can START HERE & work your way around to the many consultants on this “hop”! If you get lost along the way, you’ll find a complete list of PARTICIPATING CONSULTANTS by clicking HERE…

This month we have many Close To My Heart Consultants that will be sharing items they have created using this month’s stamp set.  So, sit back & enjoy your tour as you click on the link at the end of each post to see what EVERY consultant has created.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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

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

I really enjoy WORD stamps...and I can't WAIT to see what my other consultant friends created with this stamp set! :)    

Today, I chose to create this card design using this stamp set.
Let's check it out!   

I found today's card design...in our Make It From Your Heart (MIFYH), vol 4 --- pattern #13. I love how QUICK & EASY my card creating becomes, when I have a basic design to work with! 
(this photo below, shows our MIFYH vol 3 - for scrapbooking pages) 

I used a "soon-to-be-gone" paper pack that is on Special this month, named "Seaside".  Make sure you contact your consultant & get all of the paper before it's gone on August 31st! :) 

Does anyone remember this paper pack from 2014??  I'm so thankful it's back for this limited time!!  

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

 
Look at that tiny heart! :)  I stamped it in Smoothie ink...on top of the light side of our smoothie cardstock & then trimmed it out with my micro tip scissors. :) 

I wanted to use a LOT of stamp images on this card....so to accomplish that goal, I stamped the banner "background" with some of these FABULOUS images!!  

What better way to encourage a friend than with words like...
Hooray!
You're Amazing
Yay
Love It!
Whoa!
and You Got This
We ALL love to hear these words...especially when we are working hard to accomplish something that we may have only dreamed about! ;)   

In this photo...you can see the BEAUTIFUL, Gold Flecked gems & the burlap ribbon. These items will be leaving us on August 31st OR while supplies last! 

You also might see the Toffee sponged edges on the banner shape.  I adore that sponging the edges is making a comeback in the papercrafting world!! 

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope you are enjoying this blog hop & are getting LOTS of ideas for when you create with your OWN Stamp of the month stamp set. Happy Crafting to each of you!
