July is an exciting month with Close To My Heart!  I just returned from Convention in sunny Orlando, Florida and I am so excited to share everything I learned with you!  Not only did I get to see all of the fabulous new products coming out in the Annual Inspirations Idea Book in August, but I also got a sneak peek at the new Holiday Expressions catalog, which debuts in September.  You are going to go absolutely crazy when you see all of the new papercrafting goodies coming your way!

Another reason this month is so exciting is because there are several specials going on.

Celebrate With Cake!

Happy Monday!  Today I'm sharing a cute card I created using the May Stamp of the Month-Celebrate With Cake!  This card features the NEW Calypso papers.  I used Watercolor Pencils to color in the flowers and frosting details on the cake, then went over those areas with the NEW Small Watercolor Brush.

I'm loving the NEW Waterbrushes.  They are easy to use and provide more control when coloring small areas on your artwork.  Plus I like the fact that they're portable and easy to pull out when you are creating a card or smaller project.  They come in 3 different sizes and are only $5.95 each.

Z3224 Small Round Waterbrush

Z3225 Medium Round Waterbrush

Z3226 Medium Flat Waterbrush

Celebrate With Cake is only $5 with a $50 purchase, or you can purchase it at the full retail price of $17.95, but only during May.  To place your order, you may go directly to my website here.
