Stamp of the Month

So here we are, August already! The new Idea Book is now live to customers. There are some lovely new papers and stamps, along with some great tips and tricks for your projects. I wasn't mentally prepared to start thinking about Halloween and Christmas, but now that I've had a few days to let it sink in I'm looking forward to crafting for the holidays.

"Wicked" - August SOTM

The big buzz in the Close to my Heart world is all about the new Cricut cartridge, which you can find on pages 12-13 of the catalog. And of course there are a lot of happy scrappers out there who are happy about lower prices on all stamp sets. Oh, and did I mention that the B&T Duos printed papers are now printed on heavy card stock? And that the paper sets are now only $9.95? Oh yes, lots of happy scrappers!

Personally, I am perhaps most excited about the changes to the Stamp of the Month program. Previously you received a discount on the stamp based on your total purchase (25% off with $25 purchase, 50% off with $50 purchase, etc.). The new program is very simple, and, I think, a better deal -- with a purchase of $50 or more you can get the SOTM for only $5! It is also still available to purchase at full price, which is now only $17.95.

They are kicking off this new program with not only one of the cutest stamps in the whole Idea Book, but in the month of August when you purchase the stamp of the month you will receive a FREE alphabet set!
