Here is this months EXCLUSIVE stamp set, that you can get for ONLY $5 with your $50 CTMH purchase in AUGUST 2018. 

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



This stamp set sure calls out to ALL types of crafters! AND...I couldn't pass up the sentiment in the stamp set that involved GLITTER - LOL!!  

I used Pattern #15 from the Make It From Your Heart, vol 4 How-To book. 
Take a look at the card I created today.... 

The started off choosing which paper pack I'd like to use...and that ended up beign the BEAUTIFUL collection called "Documented" collection.  I love the tones in this paper pack, and by choosing certain papers in the pack, you can get a TOTALLY different look!  It's an easy collection to use for creating for a BOY or a GIRL!  
Take a look at these beauties....


Since this wording was ALL about Glitter....I needed to make SURE I had a lot of GLITTER on my card! :)  
I pulled out my Bashful Glitter Paper (this color will be retiring at the end of August!) AND....
I pulled out my BASHFUL Glitter Brush (this will be retiring too!) 

Can you see all the fun SHINE on the card?
I used my Glitter Brush to color in the word "Glitter" AND I also used it on top of the Bashful Pink stitched heart. 


 There isn't a border stamp set in this collection, however - I wanted to use more than 1 stamp from this collection....so I used the large heart & stamped part of it to create my side borders....see the dots? 


I finished up the card with some gold & white twine along with the BEAUTIFUL Documented dots.  


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

July is a SPECIAL month at Close To My Heart...we are celebrating our FABULOUS clear, My Acrylix stamp sets by having a SALE!!  



All stamp sets are Buy 2 get the 3rd FREE!!

 With this special, CTMH has brought back some previous stamp sets for THIS month only!!  These stamp sets were quite popular in their day - they are the "Solo" stamp sets...and that's what I chose to use to create todays artwork. :) 

Take a peek at my card creation for today!


I got this "crazy" idea to try and make a Christmas card with our current paper collections, even though we don't have any Christmas specific paper packs this season. :)  Well, I was pretty happy with the results!! 


I used our FABULOUS Make It From Your Heart, vol 4 (pattern #17) cardmaking sketch guide to get the design on the card...and adjusted it, just a tad, to fit my Solo J stamp set. 

Any guesses for which current paper collection I used? 

Take a look at the Central Park paper collection....yup, the papers are in this pack PLUS I added some Black Cardstock into the mix too. 


I used 4 stamp sets for this card creation...
1. B1234 Solo j
2. B1239 Solo o
3. B1249 Solo y 
4. C1690 For You Darling

(You can click on each word above to see the entire stamp set.)

Inks used in this creation were poppy, fern & black...




I used the LARGE "j" in the Solo J alphabet, but then chose to use the smaller letters in the o & y stamp sets to create the word "joy". 



I finished off the card with some Gold Shimmer Trim, Black & Gold ribbon & watercolor splats over the entire card. 


That's all for today....thanks for stopping by, and I hope you were inspired to go CREATE something on your own! :) 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now it’s time to Hop on over to Joyce Houck's  blog and see what beautiful, crafty item she has to share with us!

Happy Hopping and we’ll see you on the 9th next month, when the Joyful Stars team members will be sharing more artwork using Close To My Heart products!    



Blessings to you for BEAUTIFUL day!!!

For THIS MONTH ONLY....Close To My Heart has brought back the ever POPULAR Solo Alphabet & Number stamp sets....just for this special SALE!!!

Talk to your CTMH consultant on details of how YOU can get 3 of the Solo Number stamp sets for FREE and/or get the entire SET of each the Alpha or the Numbers for half off!!


For today's creation, I used 2 of the SOLO alphabets...letters "H" and "I"


Take a look at the card I created for today's hop.   


I started off using Pattern #16 in the Make It From Your Heart volume 4 How-To book, and adjusted my measurements, according to the height of my letters.    


I used the "happy" paper pack in our current catalog, ;) .....this paper is called Central Park.  Doesn't it just make you HAPPY when you look at all of those bright, fun colors?!?! 

I wanted to add a small "embellishment" to the front of this card, and I happened to see a few of these Stitched Heart Images laying on my crafting table....the perfect choice!
  

These stitched metal dies are part of our THIN CUTS product line here at CTMH...they are BEAUTIFUL & coordinate to mat perfectly with our Basic Heart Thin Cuts too!  

Let's take a look at the two stamp sets I used for this card... 
The Solo letters H & I



I should have used THREE stamp sets....why you ask? 
Because this month purchase TWO stamp sets....and get the third stamp for FREE!!  
A GREAT stamp set deal!! 

It was fun to use the large letters on the front of the card....
but also a lot of fun to stamp the "happy circle" in the background too! 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you were INSPIRED today!! :)
