Come on over and look at the August Stamp of the Month Blog Hop





Welcome to the Close to My Heart August Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!  We will be featuring the August Stamp of the Month, Something Splendid, a set of 13 stamps, that is only available during the month of August.

If you have arrived from Melissa Burch's Blog you are on the right path.  This month we have over 70 Close to My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using the August Stamp of the Month and other great Close to My Heart products on their blogs.  Following the Blog Hop is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one.  So, here we go!

This is a fantastic stamp set.  I love it because you don't have to color the image in!  You stamp the outline stamp in and then you can stamp the inside the color you want it to be.  I could not decide whether to stamp the flowers purple or rusty red so I made two cards.  I did use some new product so you will also get a look at product that will be available for purchase on September 1st.

Acrylic Card Workshop

I designed an Acrylic Card Workshop that I am really happy with. It had lots of different techniques included and my customers loved it.


I used all 4 of our new My Reflections Level 2 Paper packs, Zippidee, Passages, Cherry O, and Splendor.  My customers made two of each card.  Everyone loved their cards and had a good time.  The mark of a good Workshop!

Summer Idea Book Workshops on the Go

I wanted to show you one of Close to My Heart's best bargains, a wonderful kit called the Workshop on the Go.  Each Idea Book we get 4 new My Reflections Paper Packs and along with it comes the corresponding  Workshop on the Go for that paper pack.  What is the Workshop on the Go, you ask?

A Workshop on the Go includes a full package of My Reflections Level 2 Paper Pack, a full package of embellishments, a workshop guide, and an exclusive B-sized stamp set that you can only get in the Workshop on the Go.  All for the low price of $29.95.

The Workshop guide includes exclusive instructions (designed by Jeanette Lynton herself) and pictures for making a 2 page scrapbook layout as well as exclusive instructions and pictures to make six cards.  There are also additional project ideas that can be found for each workshop on my website.

In the new Fall/Winter Idea Book, the Workshops on the Go will be shown in the Idea Book.  But the Summer Idea Book Workshops on the Go are not so I am going to show you the projects that you can make with them here and tell you what embellishments come with each as well as tell you how to order them.

What is really cool about these Workshops on the Go is that you can take them to a crop, retreat, or you can attend one of my new Workshop on the Go Hostess Clubs.  They are very easy to transport since they are all contained inside one Level 2 Paper Pack.

Cherry O
 














The order number for the Cherry O is G1008 (click to order) and it includes a full package of Mini Medley Accents Tulip Collection.

July Close to My Heart Spotlight Blog Hop

Hope you are all staying cool this very hot summer! Welcome to the July Spotlight Blog Hop!  If you have found yourself here from Haley's Blog, then you are in the right place.  This month we are spotlighting the Cupcake Sprinkles Stamp Set (D1336) and here is my card.  



For my card, I used the My Reflections Unforgettable Level 2 Paper Pack.  It gave my card a whimsical type of feeling, which the paper pack doesn't really evoke for me. It is amazing to me that how you use the paper can make such a difference.  I wanted chocolate sprinkles on my cupcake, so I colored the sprinkles with Chocolate marker and covered it with Liquid Glass.  Can I tell you how much I love Liquid Glass?  It can add that little bit of extra punch to your project as well as it works as an adhesive as well.  I can tell you that it is one of my favorite embellishments and it lasts forever!

  • Pattern:  From Carol Lawrence's Blog
