July's stamp of the month set: Storybook Alphabet

Well, my daughter is officially graduated from high school! We have survived senior photos, the grad party, and pre-college events. Maybe things can calm down around here slightly. :-) This month is an exciting time for Close To My Heart: Stampaganza is back! Not only can you buy 2 stamp sets and get 1 free (the third set is of equal or lesser value), but CTMH also brought back a collection of popular sets back for this month only!!! Make sure to check everything out!



I even had time to make a few samples with the stamp of the month set for July: Storybook Alphabet. This is a super cute alphabet set, with decorative capital letters -- perfect for adding your own color touches. I decided to try to showcase the new paper packets, available in the current Seasonal Expressions, as well.

This first card is using the new No Worries paper packet. What a great name for this packet; I love it! I used several prints from there, as well as the new coordinating No Worries sequins.



This next card is using the new Jack paper packet. I used a single print with a coordinating border from the packet. I stamped each letter on a coordinating piece of cardstock, then stamped the 'way to go' message from a stamp set included with the Cricut Flower Market collection. 



And finally, since it seems we are always running out of these, I turned the last one into a birthday card. This one is using the new Prickly Pear paper packet. With bright, vibrant colors it was a great match for celebrating a birthday. I stamped the 'birthday' message from the Happy To Be Friends stamp set. 



The only paper packet that I didn't showcase is Little Dreamer. So here is a cute little card from corporate to share:



With Stampaganza going on this month, it is a great time to get those stamp sets on your want list! Make sure to get you order in before July is over!

Enjoy!
