June 2020 CTMH News

Hello! I am finding it difficult to write this post with everything happening in the world right now. I do hope you and your families are staying healthy during this time.

June 2020 Stamp Of The Month Garden Tags

Garden Tags (S2006) - CTMH SOTM June 2020

Garden Tags (S2006) is an exclusive D-size set of 8 stamps that is only available for purchase during the month of June 2020. 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), 2" × 2" (Y1003) and 2" × 3½" (Y1009).

Garden Tags (S2006) coordinates with Tags & Tabs Thin Cuts (Z3726). Tags & Tabs Thin Cuts are sold separately and are shown on page 45 of the May–June 2020 Catalog. The Tags & Tabs Thin Cuts are temporarily unavailable, but are expected to be back in stock in mid-June.

CTMH Corporate Artists created this gift tag using the Garden Tags stamp set.

If you would like a list of the products used to create the above cards, you will find the information in the Recipes, a PDF file that lists the products used to make the samples in the May–June 2020 Catalog. I am participating in a Garden Tags blog hop this month; you will find my post here tomorrow. Please visit my June SOTM (S2006) Garden Tags Pinterest Board for other ideas to use the Garden Tags stamp set.

National Scrapbooking Month–Blue Skies

While the National Scrapbooking Month–Blue Skies special discounts, bundles, and workshop kits ended on May 31, individual items in the Blue Skies collection are available through June 30 while supplies last.

Let’s Stay Home

In case you missed it, CTMH introduced Let’s Stay Home in late March. Then, in mid-May CTMH introduced two more stamp sets to document this extraordinary time in our lives.

Let's Stay Home (CC3212)

The Great Indoors (CC5217)

On Repeat (CC5218)

All are D-size stamp sets; they include 28, 9 and 12 stamps respectively. Be sure to check out this video (you do not need to have a Facebook account to view it) on the CTMH Facebook Page to get a better look at the Let's Stay Home stamp set and to see a fantastic page. Just substitute the photo and alter the journaling a bit and it could be my experience the past week or two. There is another video on the CTMH Facebook Page that shows some additional artwork for documenting our pandemic experience. By the way, on a mid-May post, I shared photos of some artwork created by the CTMH Corporate Artists with The Great Indoors and On Repeat. Also, on the Let's Stay Home promotions page there are three free SVGs that you can use on your album covers, scrapbook pages and cards.
