Last day to get retiring items...

I am excited that our new catalogs go live tomorrow. However, in order to make room for all of the fabulous new goodies, CTMH must retire some of the older ones. Today is the last day to purchase items out of the current Annual Inspirations catalog and the Seasonal Expressions catalog. It is also the last day to take advantage of the August Stamp of the Month. Be sure to order your favorites before they are gone...

Zoe Heart Tin


I made this project with a super fun group of gals who are on my CTMH team. The project was taught by the amazingly creative Joyce Ciechanowski. She provided each of us with a cute heart shaped tin and we used the new Zoe Papers and Compliments to decorate it.


I also used a piece of Flaxen Extra Thick Twine around the edges (which was a great way to hide the imperfections in my cutting) and a few retired Oceanside Sequins. I popped up the “Blessed Life” banner and flower Compliments with some 3-D Foam Tape as well. My daughter and I are trying to decide who gets to display it in their room. I may just have to make another one for her. *Ü*

August Project Kit - Zoe Artistry Card Kit


This month’s project kit is so much fun because not only does it use the fun new Zoe paper, but it also incorporates the brand new Artistry Cricut Collection! Plus, I have a special surprise for those of you who order the new Artistry Cricut Collection this month! Anyone who orders the Artistry Cricut Collection from me by August 31st, will receive this project kit for FREE!*

This month’s local class will be held on Thursday, August 20th at 7pm. (If you'd like to order a kit to be mailed to you instead, see shipping option below.) The project kit is $25 (see how to get the kit for free below) and includes all of the following to make a set of 6 cards (2 each of 3 designs) and (6) lined envelopes:

  • (1) Zoe Paper Packet
  • (1) package of Sparkle Clear Assortment
  • (6) White Daisy 4¼" x 5½" Envelopes
  • Pre-cut Cricut shapes
  • Pre-stamped images (all stamps used in this project come with the Artistry Cricut Collection)
  • Step-by-Step Instruction/Cutting Guide
  • Link to Design Space file

***SPECIAL*** If you order the Artistry Cricut Collection from me during the month of August, I will send you the kit for FREE!!!!*

Additional supplies needed to complete the project:
Adhesive of your choice
Scissors
Paper Trimmer
Ink Pads: Slate, Sorbet, Sweet Leaf
Artistry Cricut Collection (images will be precut and pre-stamped in this kit, but you will need the Cricut Collection if you would like to make more in the future.)

You will make 6 cards (2 each of 3 designs) and you will learn how to line the inside of your envelopes to match the cards.  


Card #1 has a sweet “hello” message floating on the inside of the die-cut center and a delicate flower on the corner.


This is one of my favorite images on the new Artistry Cricut cartridge.


The inside of card #1 has generous space to write your message along with a stamped flower cluster in the bottom corner.


Card #2 is an easel card that stands up to display the simple card front.


This is what the card looks like from the side when it is standing.


When the card is closed, your recipient sees a sweet message to “smile.”


Although the card front is simple, it has some dimension to make it more interesting.


The bottom of the inside of the card has another happy message.


Card #3 looks simple at first glance...


...but when you look closely, you will notice how much depth it actually has. This is a REALLY fun card to make and I know the recipient will enjoy it as much as you will making it.


Isn’t the cute die-cut heart with the bitty sparkle inside sweet?


Thank you for the great response.
Kits are now sold out.
