Show Stoppers and Game Changers

I hope everyone enjoyed the new product Blog Hop.  People will be adding links to the hop through August 4th, so be sure to check back at my last post to see what great artwork has been added.

Can you believe how amazing this new Idea Book is?  I am so excited to play with all the fantastic products that are jammed backed into it!!  I haven't counted them, but word on the street is that there is over 500 new items introduced.  Woozers.

Now of course, EVERYONE is talking about the new Cricut "Artbooking" cartridge.  And why shouldn't they?  It is a Game Changer.  Over 700 images, themed pages, an alpha, overlays, tons of photo mats and embellishments.  And the 10 themed way cool mini albums - where with one dial size and one button you can cut an entire mini album from pages, titles, and embellishments that are to the size you desire whether it is 6 x 6, 8 x 8, or 12 x 12.  Crazy cool.  And if that wasn't enough, you are getting three chipboard cutouts and three stamp sets that correspond. 

And remember that because August is my birthday month, I am running an awesome deal.  If you order the cartridge during August, you can purchase it at 20% off.  Or if you host a party during August, in addition to the sale price, I will also enter you to win a $40 shopping spree to be announced at the end of August. 


Now besides the amazing cartridge, there are some true Show Stoppers that I am very excited for you to see.  CTMH introduced two new Decor pieces:  the Designed Decor Colonial White Frame and Designed Decor Black Frame .

 

So cool, right?  The Black Frame has five clothesline wires for hanging artwork, photos, etc.  The White Frame has honeycomb wires.  Both are 12" x 13 1/2" and can be found on page 70 in the catalog.   Besides being wonderful home decor items for your home, they will look amazing in an office and will bring a smile to anyone when given as a present. 

Besides being available to purchase individually, you can also purchase the White Frame as part of a Kit (pictured above) which includes the exclusive stamp set, cut kraft pieces, baker's twine, and mini clothespins. 

Another Show Stopper are the new Base & Bling Wearable Art  found starting on page 74 in the Idea Book.  Available are bases for a necklace, cuff, hair clips, rings and headbands.  Then you choose how you'd like to bling it out.  There are five color jewel packs, Floral and word accents, special adhesive and fabrics to create endless possibilities. Amazing, right?

 Or you can purchase the  Base & Bling Fabric Necklace Kit  (page 77) which comes with a sheet of fabric, necklace base, adhesive, teal and black jewels, floral and word accents along with directions. $14.95 Super easy to put together in about an hour.  Then wear it and start accepting all the complements. 

  

And the last Show Stopper I want to share with you today is the new Crush books.  Great for scrapping on the go, easily adding all those fun memorabilia items from ticket stubs, cards, programs, etc.  Available in two designs, Modville and Bluebird, shown below. These have been very popular and are on back order until mid August.  For easy and quick scrapping, there are four assortments and two stamp sets designed to correspond with the books.  Each assortment pack has 16 journaling spots, 4 - 4 x 4 Stickease sheets, 2- 4 x 4 Alpha sticker sheets, and 4 - 2 x 2 envelopes.  All Crush items are shown starting on page 62.

And remember, all orders ship directly to your home, so you could be playing with these amazing items soon.

Introducing the New CTMH Autumn/Winter Idea Book

Yippee!  It is finally here.  Be prepared to be inspired and get your Crafty on!

The first paper kit I played with is Laughing Lola.  Isn't is so fantastic!!  Here is a trio of cards I created for the new product Blog Hop.  I am a huge fan of purple and I adore the sentiment on the stamp set, "A touch of class and a lot of sass!"  Perfect for quite a few people.  Click here to see the entire paper kit and click here and here to see the stamp sets.

I also HAD to play with the Laughing Lola Workshop.  Oh my!  I could not be any more pleased with how this turned out.  I followed along with the Workshop on the Go but needed to make a few changed to fit my photos.  We will be playing with fun paper during September.  But if you can't wait until then, you can click here to order your workshop and have it sent now to your home.

It is amazing - over 700 images, including a new alpha, tons of images that correspond with the new stamp sets, themed pages, overlays and mini albums. That's right.  Mini-albums.  Woot!

And in addition to the cartridge, you receive three coordinating stamp sets and three sheets of chipboard shapes. All for only $99 plus shipping and tax.

BUT because August is my birthday month, I am running an awesome deal.  If you order the cartridge during August, you can purchase it at 20% off.  Or if you host a party during August, in addition to the sale price, I will also enter you to win a $40 shopping spree to be announced at the end of August. 

Here are a few projects that the CTMH Art Department created using the cartridge.  So cool right?

Here are some pictures of the booklet, so you can see how amazing the font is and some of the amazing overlays and themed pages.  What is so fantastic about the themed pages, overlays and mini-albums, is that with one dial size and one button you can cut everything and it all fits together perfectly depending on the size you choose.  No more guess work to have titles or embellishments fit.  All the work is done for you.  Here's to easy crafting!!

Chantilly 2 page Layout - Easter

The Chantilly love affair is still going strong around here.  lol.  And the Frame Flair stamp set is making ANOTHER appearance.  I just couldn't help myself.  The bright spring colors are perfect for these pictures from Easter.  And I love, love, love the Chantilly Complements.  They are chipboard and are so quick and easy to add to a page and make it loverly. 

This year the boys really got into the Egg Hunt.  In fact, we caught Owen peeking out the window, trying to watch where the eggs were being hide.  Little Stinker.

Happy Crafting!
