I wanted to extend a thank you to everyone who participated in my first giveaway!!!!  I had so much fun doing the first giveaway I’m already in the works for my second!!

 I sent this little bonus card to the winner of the Tropical Paradise Stamp Set giveaway.

The Thank You Sentiment used for this card is part of a new mini stamp set line from CTMH that will sell for only $2.95!!! The mini stamp sets will be released in the new Autumn/Winter 2013 Idea Book (which will be released TOMORROW!!!!!!!!)

Close To My Heart products used to make this card: White Daisy Cardstock; Chantilly Paper Packet; Cotton Candy Exclusive Inks Pad®; Sponge Dauber; Sparkles Clear Assortment; Bakers Twine Paradise Assortment, Universal Backgrounds Stamp Set.

We recently celebrated my dad’s birthday, so once again, I was looking for a masculine card to make. Here is the card I came up with inspired by Scrapbook Boutique.

I used CTMH’s Star Struck Stamp Set (retired) to stamp the background circles in Sunset Exclusive Ink®, Whisper Exclusive Ink®, and Crystal Blue Exclusive Ink®.  The sentiment is stamped using CTMH’s Happy Birthday Stamp Set (retired) in Black Exclusive Ink®.

I also used CTMH’s Bakers Twine Paradise Assortment and CTMH’s Slate Polka-Dot Washi Tape at the base of the circle stamps.

Close To My Heart’s stamp sets never go out of style and are made to stand the test of time –That is one of the many things I love about CTMH’s products. I purchased Star Struck in 2007 and 6 years later I’m currently using it, and it is just as sharp of an image as it was when I first purchased it. How awesome is that?!??!
