The August Stamp of the Month, Framed (S1508) is a set of 12 stamps including 3 fun frames and 9 sentiments for just about every occasion. This set is truly a card maker's dream!

Since I couldn't choose just one frame and sentiment, I decided to make a complete set of cards!

I've been on a bit of a Paper Fundamentals kick lately and seem to use them every time I turn around! I love the big bold white patterns on one side complemented by the shiny, embossed pattern on the reverse. (NOTE: If you love Paper Fundamentals as much as I do, head over to my website and order your favorite packs now as they are all retiring at the end of the month. The good news...they are coming back with new prints...but I adore these prints so much, I know I'm stocking up).

If you follow my SOTM blog posts at all, you will know I love Shimmer Trim. I really, honestly TRIED to not use it on these cards, but I guess you could say I am hopelessly addicted to Shimmer Trim!

A little 3-D Foam Tape added the dimension that provided the perfect finishing touch!

Below are a couple adorable pieces of artwork from the incredibly talented folks in the CTMH Art Department!

Remember, the August SOTM is only available through August 31st. You can order it for $17.95 or add it on to your $50 for just $5. Visit my website to order yours today!
