September 2018 CTMH News

Welcome! I hope you are excited about September. Yes, I know, it brings us closer to winter, but I have to believe good things are in store for this month. It is another time for new beginnings with back to school and a new season upon us. I love the cooler, less humid weather that Fall brings, but I love the colors even more. It is also an exciting time at Close To My Heart. I hope you enjoy this season too.

The September 2018 Stamp of the Month is Just Treats.

Just Treats (S1809) is an exclusive D-size set of 22 stamps that is only available for purchase during the month of September 2018. The stamp set can be yours for $5 when you place an order of $50 or more in qualifying Close To My Heart products (and you qualify for additional sets at $5 for each $50 you spend). Alternatively it is available at $17.95. Recommended CTMH My Acrylix® Blocks for this stamp set are: 1" x 1" (Y1000), 1" x 3½" (Y1002), 2" x 2" (Y1003) and 3" x 3" (Y1006).

CTMH Corporate Artists created this layout and tag using the Just Treats stamp set.

If you would like a list of the products used to create the above items, you will find the information in the Recipes, a PDF file that lists the products used to make the samples in the Holiday Expressions so you may re-create projects at home. In a few days please visit my September SOTM (S1809) Just Treats Pinterest Board for additional ideas using the Just Treats stamp set.


September 2018 - National Stamping Month — Memories in the Making

This National Stamping Month special features two exclusive stamp sets: Memories in the Making—Days and Memories in the Making—Months. The stamp sets have been especially designed to coordinate with the Memories in the Making Cut Above® layout kit to create a beautifully crafted calendar. Using these stamp sets makes it easy to add months and dates on calendar pages. The Memories in the Making—Days stamp set also includes a variety of images for personalizing your calendar to note birthdays, holidays, appointments, and more. There are even some basic shapes and solid images for highlighting events and adding decorative elements to every month.

You may also download a National Stamping Month flyer here (PDF opens in a new window).

September hostesses who have a party that reaches the third level of Hostess Rewards or higher will receive both the Memories in the Making—Days and the Memories in the Making—Months stamp sets, FREE.
