Items of Business–wait I mean FREE Product!!!

Hello everyone!  I know it has been a while since I have posted because I am feverishly working to keep my head above water.  I have been creating new projects, teaching new classes, and hosting Open Houses for the 1st time.  There is a light at the end of the tunnel and it is starting to come into view.

Mystery Hostess Winner

Anyway, I know you are all anxiously waiting to find out who is the winner of the Idea Book Celebration Mystery Hostess Party.  Well, the great news is that we had one more order come in at the last minute which put us over the next level of Hostess Rewards. So the winner is going to get $60 in free product and 1 item at 50% off.  Last night I had my husband draw the winner from all of those that were entered and without further delay, drum roll please …………..…………………………….

Marker Trade Up

As many of you know, we had some quality control issues with our previous alcohol markers over the last 2 years, so this year we are replacing them with the well known, high quality ShinHan Touch Twin Alcohol Markers. I have used them on a few projects so far and am very pleased. They are ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in your hand and have both a fine point and broad tip. Even though colors are not CMTH specific, they are gorgeous and I will provide a handy chart (designed by fellow consultant Ellen Jarvis) to show CTMH coordinating colors for each ShinHan color.

Since I feel so strongly about the quality of these new markers and so badly about the experience that you had with our old alcohol markers, if you purchased the previous CTMH alcohol markers from me, you can trade them in for the NEW markers! The previous markers sold in a two-pack for $5.95 each. The new markers are $5.95 each. Trade in your old two-pack for a NEW ShinHan marker of your choice! There are 24 colors to choose from!

For those that didn't purchase the previous ones or want to hold on to them, I have another special for you! For every 5 new markers you purchase, you can choose one of the Mini Stamp Sets FREE! Many of these mini stamps are perfect for coloring in with the new markers!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

June Card Club

Hello!  I can’t believe it’s June already and the sun is shining.  I am so excited for all of the summer activities and weekend getaways to come.

Today I wanted to share with you the cards that we will be making at this month’s Card Club.

If you are local to Amelia, VA I hope you will join us on either:

Thursday, June 19 at 6:30pm

or

Sunday, June 22 at 2pm

Cost is $25 to make 12 cards (3 each of the 4 designs)

(price includes all cards, envelopes, a full roll of the Honey Triangles Washi Tape, and embellishments)

If you don’t live near Amelia, VA I can put together a kit for you.  If you want me to stamp it for you add $5.  If shipping applies add $5.

 

For these cards I wanted to focus on our Mini Stamps and Washi Tape.  If you haven’t discovered our mini stamps yet click here to see all of the designs.  They are so affordable at just $2.95 each, and of course super cute.

For this card I used the Newlyweds stamp (M1035), and colored the bumper with the Silver Metallics Marker.  You could also use the Baby Carriage stamp (M1027).

I love the banner created with just washi tape and baker’s twine.

I found this pattern on Pinterest and the Hi stamp (M1041) was a perfect fit. I colored the bottom of the

I have to give a big shout out to my dear friend and fellow consultant Gina Brandstetter for these last 2 cards.  I took her designs and just made them work for my class.

How creative was she to take a Cricut cut star out of white cardstock and cover it with washi tape and then adhere it to the card so that it matches up with the other washi tape. Brilliant!

These mini stamps are a perfect fit for the Circle Spin cards.  Here I used the Shooting Star stamp (M1038) and colored the center of the star with the Ruby marker and the Gold Metallics marker.

On the Good Job stamp (M1039) I simply took a Blending Pen and Ruby ink to add a little bit of color to the bottom of each letter.

Email me to attend the workshop or purchase a kit.

Thanks for stopping by.

Circle Spin Card & A Little Gift

Hi!  Today I have a 2nd card to share with you from this month’s Card Club using the new Circle Spin Cards and the new Mini stamp sets.  Close To My Heart designed these cards for us as part of our creative sessions at this year’s Convention.  

This card uses the new Babycakes paper collection (X7173B) and the A Little Gift stamp (M1030).  This card might be my favorite because it uses our new Scallop Border Punch (Z1851).  It is so easy to use and makes a beautiful small scalloped edge.

I love the images of the present that are stamped directly on the edges of the card.  This card was also embellished  with the new Bronze Shimmer Trim (Z1849).  CTMH now has 4 colors of Shimmer Trim and this is probably one of our most popular items.  It is glitter ribbon that is adhesive backed.  That’s right – it already has adhesive on it.  Just peal the backing and stick it down.

I’ve still got 2 more cards to share with you so be sure to come back tomorrow.  Thanks for stopping by.

Circle Spin Card & Single Snowflake Stamp

Today I have 1 of my 4 cards for this month’s Card Club to share with you. 

At Convention we were given the new Circle Spin Cards and some of the new Mini stamp sets.  Close To My Heart designed these cards for us as part of our creative sessions.  I changed them up just a little bit and made a workshop out of it.

This card uses the new Frosted paper collection (X7175B) and the Single Snowflake stamp (M1031).  The center was then embellished with a metal flower from the Base & Bling Floral Accents (Z1883).

The new Circle Spin Cards work beautifully with the Mini stamps.  The stamp image is the perfect size for the spinning circle. 

Thanks for stopping by.  Be sure to come back tomorrow to see more Circle Spin Cards.
