October is All About the SMILES!

Operation Smile has been a big part of the Close To My Heart family for so long! And it takes so little to change someone's life with a new SMILE!!

This month, Close To My Heart's Share A Smile is all about the SMILES -- 

Our Punny Pals are on a mission to share as many smiles as possible this month! With the purchase of every Punny Pals stamp set ($17.95), Close To My Heart is donating $7 of the proceeds to Operation Smile™. 

And, for this month only and while supplies last, you can get a coordinating set of Thin Cuts ($28.95) for cutting out the adorable animal shapes. 

Even better, we’ve built an exclusive card kit that includes the Thin Cuts along with card bases, envelopes, paper pieces, and instructions ($39.95) that you can use to create endearing cards that will sure enough bring a smile to anyone’s day! 

Want to make more cards -- add another set of card bases and envelopes.

But there are more ways you can help share smiles this month, too. Every time you place an order, you can round your order up to the nearest dollar, giving the extra as a donation to Operation Smile™. During October, your round-up donation will go even further, because Close To My Heart will be matching all round-up donations, up to $10,000 USD! Finally, we’ve thought of one more way that is guaranteed to bring in a lot of smiles: When you participate in our Share a Smile promotion by purchasing any of these special items or rounding up your order in support of Operation Smile™ you will automatically qualify for a chance to win a not-yet-released stamp set from our upcoming 2018 Seasonal Expressions 1 idea book! We’ll be choosing winners throughout the month of October, so any time you place an order, you can be a winner! 

Join us in sharing smiles this month—it’s sure to bring a smile to your face!

Smile with Animal Greetings

 I HEART the cute little animals and sayings found on the Operation Smile stamp set, Animal Greetings. Because of the donation to Operation Smile, this stamp set is not part of the Stampaganza special this month, BUT helping people get their SMILE is so worth it!!

Add ShinHan alcohol markers or water colors and you can take these cute little sweeties to the next level!!






Here was one of my Easter favorites -- a little Pear from the Adventure Fundamental paper collection sure makes the pink of his ears and the red of his rosey cheeks stand out.

Make this stamp set yours before it retires in July!!
