New Annual Inspiration 2016 and August 2016 Stamp of the Month

It's that time of year again!  Yes, the new Annual Inspirations is now available!  We have tons of new products available!  Take a look!  Please contact me for your very own copy!

 

It's also time for a new Stamp of the Month!  The August Stamp of the Month, Purr-fect Halloween, is not only a cute Halloween stamp set but also fun for cat lovers and whimsical artwork!  Note that it is also compatible with the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge.

Each month you can purchase a new D-size stamp set, available for one month only, for just $5 — that’s over 70% off retail! When you place an order of $50 or more in Close To My Heart products, you qualify for this special Stamp of the Month pricing. Otherwise, you can purchase this set outright for $17.95. 

I wanted to try making a card that was not Halloween oriented.  So I embossed the cat in black pigment ink onto a piece of Florence B&T paper.  Matting it with coordinating B&T paper and cardstock, then adding the Florence sequins and some googly eyes did just the trick!  Hope you like it!

A cat isn't just for Halloween! Use this whimsical set for the fun people in your life! This is the CTMH August 2016 stamp set so get yours before the end of the month! #ctmhaugust2016sotm #purr-fecthalloween #ctmhflorence #embossed #papercrafting #cardmaking #stamping #ctmhsaffron #ctmhpoppy #sequins #googlyeyes #bittysparkles #ctmh
