A Card “For My Beautiful Friend” (free kit with purchase!)

It’s been a busy month so I’m just getting the card kit for this month’s stamp of the month finished. Although we just have a few days left, but there is still time to get this beautiful stamp set!


The July Stamp of the Month, For My Beautiful Friend, is filled with sweet messages to send to someone special plus flowers, butterflies and even a dragonfly. I love the swish of paint image that allows you to highlight a specific word. I used it in the card above to add a watercolor brush to “Beautiful”.


This great stamp set is only available to purchase in July 2020. It is a “size D” (AKA large) stamp set and regularly priced at $18.95. However, when you have $50 in your cart, you can add it for just $5!  
When you purchase the For My Beautiful Friend stamp set on my Close To My Heart website (at full or discounted price), I’ll send you a kit to make this pretty friendship card! The foundation for this card is the stitched grid die cut which was cut with the Multi Square Window Thin Cuts set. I love that this cut piece is the perfect size for a standard card. There is an even white border all the way around it.
The beautiful pattern papers in the grid windows are from the current Mix-in paper packet. These beautiful papers get over shadowed by the themed paper packs, but they are great to add a little texture to any project. 
Kit includes
– Card base
– Die cut grid overlay
– Cut pieces of solid and pattern paper
– Extra white cardstock for stamping
– Silver shimmer trim
– Bitty Sparkles
To finish the kit as shown, you’ll need Black and Peach ink pads, True Blue Tri Blend marker and adhesives. 
If you’d like one of these kits, simply place an order on my Close To My Heart website that includes the For My Beautiful Friend stamp set.  Start shopping now>>
Always create,

New Die-cuts for favorite Stamp Sets!

Love stamping, but hate “fussy cutting”? Thin cuts are a great way to have perfectly cut stamped images and we have just introduced four new sets that coordinate with stamp sets in the Annual Inspirations Idea Book.

You can use these thin metal dies with your favorite die-cutting machine (I use Cuttlebug) to quickly and easily cut shapes ont he stamp sets. The Thin cuts are packaged on their own magnetic sheet and work well with most die-cutting machines.

The first new set of thin cuts coordinates with the School Kids stamp set (D1706). Images include all three children, an apple and the school house.

We also have a new thin cut to go with the Wreath stamp set (A1193). I love this stamp set, but cutting out the wreath is so tedious. Now, I can literally just crank them out.

The next thin cut coordinates with images on the Sweet Birthday (B1532) stamp set. Images include the candle, cupcake and party hat. 

The last one is my favorite. These new thin cuts coordinate with the Swirly Seashells (C1664) stamp set. Note that each of the shells on this stamp set can now be cut from the thin cuts!
