August is always a super-exciting month for my kiddos with new school supplies and clothes and all, but this month is even better for me with the release of NEW Close to My Heart products to share with you!!! :)
Today we are featuring the NEW Chalk It Up Paper Packet, so come see what I whipped up with mine...
I thought this would make a fantastic card to send my youngest child's teacher at the end of the first week of school. Do you have any idea how hard they work? I can imagine that first week is especially rough, so this will be a great little pick-me-up. :)
I ADORE paper piecing, and this little owl from the August Stamp of the Month, What A Hoot, is the perfect guy to use this technique on! I thought the arrows in this pattern make cute feathers...
If you have had a chance to look at the new embellishments available, then you saw these! I love the NEW Enamel Stars and Gold or Silver Sequins! I would have LOVED more sequin colors, but since there aren't, here is a quick tip: COLOR THEM! You read that right--use the new ShinHan Touch Twin Alcohol Markers to give those light silver sequins a whole new look to coordinate with any of your papers! :) You only want to go over it once with the marker or the color begins to lift, so practice and have some fun! Pssst...try it on the White Enamel Stars too! ;)
