Happy April Fools! I hope you were not fooled by anyone today. I received an email March 31 that a restaurant famous for their deep dish pizza was no longer going to serve deep dish pizza. I thought it was fairly easy to see that it was an April Fools message since I received it a day early; I just thought they made a mistake and sent it early, but I did read that people contacted them concerned about the email.
I think that Mother Nature is pulling a pretty good April Fools by sending us snow on April 1. Hopefully it will be the last snow of Spring 2021. I don't know about you, I am ready for the weather to be warm enough that I can have the windows open.
Let's look at what Close To My Heart has for us this month.
April 2021 Stamp Of The Month Scandinavian Folk Art Greetings
 |
| Scandinavian Folk Art Greetings (S2104) available April 2021 |
Scandinavian Folk Art Greetings (S2104) is an exclusive D-size set of 17 stamps and is only available during the month of April 2021. The stamp set is available for $5 when you place an order of $50 or more in qualifying Close To My Heart products or it is free when you place a qualifying order and you are a CTMH VIP Customer; in either case you qualify for additional sets at $5 for each additional $50 you spend. It is also available for $18.95 with no other purchase required. Recommended CTMH My Acrylix® Blocks for this stamp set are: 1" × 1" (Y1000), 1" × 3½" (Y1002), 2" × 2" (Y1003), and 2" × 3½" (Y1009).
The CTMH Art Department created two pages, one a traditional 12" × 12" page and the other a 12" × 12" pocket page, using the Scandinavian Folk Art Greetings stamp set.

The Recipes, a PDF file that lists the products used to make the samples in the March–April 2021 Catalog, will tell you everything used to create the art above. You will find the Recipes under the page-turner catalog here. I am participating in a Scandinavian Folk Art Greetings blog hop this month; you will find my post here on my blog tomorrow. Please visit my April SOTM (S2104) Scandinavian Folk Art Greetings Pinterest Board for other ideas to use the Scandinavian Folk Art Greetings stamp set.

Stamptacular is one of my favorite promotions from Close To My Heart. It is a great time to purchase Stamps or Stamp + Thin Cuts that have been on my wish list, but I have not had a chance to purchase.
Close To My Heart brought back these five stamp sets from last year just for Stamptacular: My Acrylix® Let’s Stay Home (CC3212), The Great Indoors (CC5217), On Repeat (CC5218), Through Thick and Thin (CC7211), and Forever Grateful (CC7210). They are back, but only through April 30.

The Stamptacular: Stamp + Thin Cuts Bundles PDF flyer can be found here; I printed the flyer to cross off the ones I have, circle those that I am interested in and highlight those I cannot miss.
All Stamp + Thin Cuts bundles are only available while supplies last and may run out before the Stamptacular special is over; if there are any Stamp + Thin Cuts that you have had your eye on, be sure to order early.
There are a few stamp sets that are not available at a discounted price: exclusive stamp
sets associated with current specials, Stamp of the Month sets and
Operation Smile™ stamp sets.
Stamptacular is available through April 30, 2021.
