Thanks & Giving and other things I love about Fall

Even a summer girl like me love certain things about fall: the crispness of the fall air, the stores filling up with holiday inspiration and family gathering together to name a few. Fall is a also great time to whip out those scrapbooks and share them with loved ones. I’m excited to share this month’s stamp of the month collection because October is such a special month. 

October’s stamp of the month represents everything I love about fall! Packed with heartwarming style, you’ll find little houses with smoke emerging the chimney, fall leaves, hearts, and cozy calligraphy with phrases such as “thanks & giving” “gather” and “home sweet home” just to name a few. 

Imagine scrapbooking your photos from the fall season: family gatherings, fall decor around your home, the foliage in your yard, cooking comfort food in the kitchen. All of these photos will mesh perfectly with these stamps. You could create so many love filled pages to remember. 

The stamp set also works well for fall and thank you cards. Check out these projects from the talented artists at Close To My Heart for some inspiration to help get you started!

If you’re ready to make your purchase- remember that right now you can get this exclusive October Stamp of the Month collection for the discounted price of only $5 with any $50 order. Or you can always order just the stamp of the month for the standard price of $18.95. No need to rush around to different stores to find what you need- you’ll have everything you need to create such fun and memorable keepsakes- delivered right to your door.

Please let me know if you have any questions or wish to share any ideas. This is such a beautiful and inspiring month. I truly hope you enjoy using these stamps in your creative endeavors. Have a fantastic fall everyone! 🙂

September ushers in new products, kindness and more!

It is hard to believe that September 2016 is here! It still feels like summer here in Missouri even though the calendar says Fall is getting near. With the arrival of September comes the Holiday Expressions Idea Book, National Stamping Month and much more. In this post, I’m going to summarize all the great things happening at Close To My Heart this month.

1. New Holiday Products

I am lovin’ the new Holiday Expressions Idea Book and I think you will too!

This new catalog is bigger than our last seasonal book and includes four new paper collections for Halloween, fall, Christmas and winter. Each collection includes a decorative paper pack, solid cardstock pack and embellishment packs. Use these products to create your own projects or take advantage of the scrapbooking and card-making workshops.

Thanksgiving Card Video

Fall is certainly arived! I’m a summer girl, but I can’t help but enjoy the colors of autumn. I bought my pumpkins and put an leafy wreath on the door as soon as it started feeling chilly. Fall is a great time for crafting. It’s cozy to be inside but also comfortable to go out to get inspiration from nature.

I think you’ll enjoy this video on how to make the beautiful pumpkin card found on page 66 of the Close To My Heart Autumn/Winter 2011 Idea Book. “So Grateful” is one of my favorite new My Acrylix stamp sets. This set is great for cards and scrapbooking. Do you have some pumpkin patch or carving pictures that need a home? I am planning to “scraplift” a beautiful layout posted by another Close To My Heart consultant earlier this month that also uses this stamp set set. I’ll post pictures once I have it done.

Let me know if you’d like more information on how to get the supplies or tools for this project.
