August 2019 CTMH News

Hello, August!?

Wow, it seems like 2019 is passing by at record speed. It seems like schools just let out and in about 5 weeks the public schools will be starting again. I hope you have had a chance to relax and enjoy a vacation this month.

There are new Close To My Heart specials for August and Idea Book news for you.

The August 2019 Stamp of the Month is From Me to You

From Me to You (S1908) - CTMH SOTM August 2019

From Me to You (S1908) is an exclusive D-size set of 38 stamps that is only available for purchase during the month of August 2019. 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 $18.95. Recommended CTMH My Acrylix® Blocks for this stamp set are: 1" × 1" (Y1000), 1" × 3½" (Y1002) and 2" × 2" (Y1003).
CTMH Corporate Artists created three fun cards using the From Me to You 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 Seasonal Expressions 2 so you may re-create projects at home. I am participating in a From Me to You blog hop this month; you will find my post here tomorrow. Please visit my August SOTM (S1908) From Me to You Pinterest Board for additional ideas using the From Me to You stamp set.

This technique allows you to use 3", 2", and 1" paper pieces to decorate each page and is a style that you can use on other scrapbooking layouts and other papercrafting projects.

Seasonal Expressions 2

Seasonal Expressions 2 Cover

August 31st is the last day that Seasonal Expressions 2 is valid. If there are items you have on your wish list, please be sure to order before midnight on August 31st. Unfortunately some items have already sold out. I am keeping a list of unavailable items on my CTMH Idea Books page. Also on that page is a list of retired items or you can visit my series of blog posts with images of the retiring items. I started with the Retiring Colors (Pomegranate, Pansy, Emerald, Willow, Lemon, Heather and the Color of the Year Sugarplum) and followed the next few days with the retiring Paper Collections, My Acrylix™ Stamps and finally all of the other retiring items.
