The August kit takes you on an enchanted visit to the forest. Our product designers were inspired by "A Midsummer Night's Dream" when creating this month's kit and add-ons.

This month's kit contents include:

► A 4x6 clear stamp set
► Three matching Frame Cuts dies
► An oval border with frame Fancy Die set
► Three ink cubes in Bubble Gum, Orchid and Green Apple
► Pretty Pink Posh Droplets
► Ranger Star Dust Stickles
► Woodgrain Cardstock and Vellum
► Other gems and cardstock

This month’s kit has been paired with several optional add-on products, and we can't even decide which one we love the most! First, we have another gorgeous die called  hero_product_link sku="DI320" text="Floral Border with Frame Fancy Die"]. This die can be cut directly into your paper (kit example here), or paired with the frame to create a standalone oval (kit example here). Use it by itself, or combine it with the die included in the kit for a gorgeous, layered window into the forest (example here).

Next is our hero_product_link sku="CM105" text="Dreams Are Made"] 4x6 clear set. It's the first of two stamp sets inspired by Shakespeare quotes! Clouds, stars, sun, moon... and that owl! It's magical.

The second optional stamp set is hero_product_link sku="CM106" text="Shakespearean Poetry"]. Create elegant cards featuring wise words from the bard himself.
