August 2020 CTMH News

I know I say this almost every month, but it does seem like the clock is moving faster than ever. This post is going to feel incomplete to me because I cannot spend anymore time on it. I am writing this on Thursday evening and will be going to bed extra early so I can be up around 3am to get on the road by 4am. On the 31st I am meeting up with some other CTMH Consultants to work on some projects I will be sharing with you in September. I am excited, but I am tired just thinking about that 3am wake up.

August 2020 Stamp Of The Month Floral Celebration

Floral Celebration (S2008)
available August 2020

Floral Celebration (S2008) is an exclusive D-size set of 20 stamps that is only available for purchase during the month of August 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), 1" × 3½" (Y1002), 2" × 2" (Y1003), 1" × 6½" (Y1005) and 3" × 3" (Y1006).

The Art Department at Close To My Heart created two cards using the Floral Celebration 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 July–August 2020 Catalog. I am participating in a Floral Celebration blog hop this month; you will find my post here tomorrow. Please visit my Aug SOTM (S2008) Floral Celebration Pinterest Board for other ideas to use the Floral Celebration stamp set.

CTMH Kids Crafts - Born to Shine Album / CTMH Corporate Facebook Page Events

The events will be a great opportunity to create projects with CTMH staff from the Corporate Office. When you join in there is the chance to learn some new techniques and tips and enter to win exciting giveaways!

The events are completely free and open to everyone to view. So far events usually begin at 4:00pm EDT and last for 2–3 hours.

The next event is the Summer Vibes Cardmaking Workshop on August 11. The other events I know about were shared here on July 18. We recently learned about Born to Shine. I posted details of that on this CTMH Kids Crafts event on July 29. If you click the button below to see my previous post that's the one you will see.

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.
