It’s no secret that I love sunflowers. To me they represent happiness, cheerfulness and warmth. I don’t think I would naturally think to use them for a sympathy card, but that is exactly what Close To My Heart’s *NEW* Sunflower Sympathy Stamp Set does.
We’re quickly approaching Halloween. Halloween stores have popped up. Decorations are in the stores. And then this weekend I already saw people decorating their yards! Guess it’s time to get those Halloween cards and projects ready!
Yesterday, September 15th, was National Women’s Friendship Day. It’s a holiday that’s celebrated each year on the 3rd Sunday of September. I felt this beautiful card I received from Jen LeDuc was perfect for this holiday!
September is National Stamping Month. To celebrate, Close To My Heart did a wonderful post on their Make It From Your Heart Blog showcasing some stamping basics–perfect for the beginner stamper and a great refresher for the seasoned stamper. So you don’t miss out on all this great knowledge I’m sharing it with you today.

The September Stamp of the Month, Random Act of Cardness, might be my all time favorite Stamp of the Month (okay, maybe not out of all the years but definitely of the more recent ones!) I love the sentiments. I love the fonts. I love that it includes little icons. I love that all the sentiments are so useful.
September is National Stamping Month. To celebrate, Close To My Heart has 2 super cute (truly darling!) stamp sets along with fun Thin Cuts dies that coordinate with each set as part of their Share the Seasons Special.
Wow, it’s the final day of August! Where did the summer go? With September starting tomorrow, I wanted to remind you of some amazing Close To My Heart items that will no longer be available (just in case it’s been on your wish list–now is the time to act!)
As a stamper, many times it can be confusing as to which particular black ink pad we should be using for which project. Yesterday, on Close To My Heart’s Blog, they did a wonderful post comparing the different Black Ink Pads and when it’s best to use which one of them. It was a great comparison and one I think all of us could benefit from. Plus, there are great project examples for each!
This beautiful & empowering stamp set, Rise Strong, was one given to Consultants who attended Close To My Heart’s Convention this summer in Provo, UT. The idea behind the creation of this stamp set was to spread kindness and let those in our life know that they are not alone during difficult times.
