May 2018 CTMH News

Wow! It is May. And Spring is finally starting to come to central New York. The trees do not have any leaves and there are not many flowers in bloom, but at least we are seeing some signs that the weather is improving.

The May 2018 Stamp of the Month is Classic Summer Bash

Classic Summer Bash (S1805) is an exclusive D-size set of 25 stamps that is only available for purchase during the month of May 2018. The stamp set can be yours for $5 when you place an order of $50 or more in qualifying Close To My Heart products (and you qualify for additional sets at $5 for each $50 you spend). Alternatively it is available at $17.95. Recommended CTMH My Acrylix® Blocks for this stamp set are: 1" x 1" (Y1000), 1" x 3½" (Y1002), 2" x 2" (Y1003), 1" x 6½" (Y1005) and 4" x 5" (Y1012).

CTMH Corporate Artists created this page and card using the Classic Summer Bash stamp set.

If you would like a list of the products used to create the above items, you will find the information in the Recipes, a PDF file that lists the products used to make the samples in the Seasonal Expressions 2 so you may re-create projects at home. I am participating in a Classic Summer Bash blog hop this month; you will find my post here tomorrow. Please visit my May SOTM (S1805) Classic Summer Bash Pinterest Board for additional ideas using the Classic Summer Bash stamp set.

Seasonal Expressions 2 2018

May marks the first month of the Seasonal Expressions 2 Idea Book. The book is valid until August 31, 2018. Please visit my blog in the next few days for a tour of SE2.

Annual Inspirations 2017-2018

This Annual Inspirations is only valid until July 31, 2018. Close To My Heart Convention is in late June; I expect I will be able to share a retiring list soon after Convention wraps up. Since some products in this book have already sold out, if there is anything that is still high on your wish list, I would order those items sooner rather than later.

If you are ready to place an order or would like to read more about a product, the Shop Now button will take you there.

If you have any product or promotion questions, do not hesitate to email me. You will also find me on Facebook at Brenda's Paper Crafts. Thank you for visiting today.
