Here we are already in July! Summer is such a wonderful time. The stamp of the month from Close To My Heart expresses that thought perfectly and for the month of July you can get this stamp set FREE*
Below is a card I made using the stamp of the month with a little help from the Seaside paper packet. I consider it a summer version of a valentine. (In fact, I will probably use this stamp set again when it’s time to make Valentines. )

Ever since Close To My Heart came out with shimmer trim, I’ve not been able to make a card without added a piece of the glittery trim. The blue piece behind the teal shimmer trim is from the paper fundamentals. It adds some shininess (hard to see in this picture). I cut the “Together” from the zip strip on top of the paper.
All in all it’s a pretty simple card. If you’d like to purchase any of these great card making materials or more, feel free to visit my Close To My Heart website at www.gericonley.ctmh.com
