2013 CTMH Retiring List

Next month the Spring/Summer 2013 Idea Book goes live! There are TONS of new items which means we need to say goodbye to some of the other items we've come to love.

One of the many benefits of being a consultant is that I have the utmost pleasure of previewing the new Idea Book and products a month before go live! I love the direction CTMH is going and am anxious to get my own order in so I can start playing!

Here's the current list of items retiring. They are available while supplies last so if you've been thinking about getting them now is the time:

Mojo Monday 274

I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch to create my card. The card base was cut with the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge and the background was stamped with two of the images from the Universal Backgrounds stamp set. The owl was stamped with one of the owl images found on the Whooo's Your Valentine stamp set.

I chose to leave a sentiment off and add it when I need it. The finished size of the card is 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" and fits perfectly inside an A2 envelope.

Supplies used (all CTMH unless otherwise noted):
Paper: Brown Bag Cardstock, Grey Flannel Cardstock, Blush Cardstock
Stamps: Universal Backgrounds, (D1477), Whooo's Your Valentine
Ink: Black, Grey Wool, Blush
Other: Cricut Art Philosophy, Hollyhock ribbon, White Daisy Flower, Pink Button, Glue Dot, Colonial White Waxy Flax

Christmas Day Layout

Yesterday I showed you the main layout from the Pear & Partridge WOTG kit. Today I focused on a layout from the Make It From Your Heart (Volume 1) book. This book contains 30 sketches for both scrapbook and card layouts. Like the CTMH How-To Books, the Make It From Your Heart book includes cutting diagrams, full color examples and expert tips and techniques to help take your creations to the next level!

To create the title I masked part one of the images on the WOTG Stamp set as well as colored some Cork Alphabet with my Ruby Red alochol marker.

The branch and leaves was cut with the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge. I used some retired flowers and the Pearl Badge Buttons to accessories my branch.

One of my favorite elements of this layout is the burlap ribbon. I've been hoarding it since the F/W 2012 Idea Book release (almost 6 months ago) and this is the first time I've put it to use. It adds a lovely depth and dimension paper to this layout.

Thanks for checking it out!

Supplies used (all CTMH unless otherwise noted):
Paper: Pear & Partridge Level 2, Cranberry Cardstock, Colonial White Cardstock, Olive Cardstock
Stamps: Pear & Partridge WOTG
Ink: New England Ivy, Brown Bag
Other: Burlap Ribbon, Cricut Art Philosphy, Flowers (retired), Color Ready Cork Alphabet

Santa 2012 Layout

To showcase our yearly visit to Santa I used the Pear & Partridge WOTG kit. The kit gives you enough supplies for 2, two page layouts plus leftovers for a fun bonus project. I opted not to do the featured bonus project so I could make several scrapbook layouts...you'll see those another time.

The kit includes a full level 2 paper pack, a full package of red, pink, and purple sparkles as well as the beautiful Pear & Partridge Complements Glittery Rub-Ons. I don't think my photos do the rub-ons justice...they truly are spectacular in person! The best part is that they are really easy to rub off too!

This kit is retiring at the end of the month so if you are still looking to record your holiday memories I encourage you to take a look and order today!

Supplies used (all CTMH unless otherwise noted):
Paper: Pear & Partridge
Stamps: Pear & Partridge WOTG, Trinity Alphabet
Ink: Brown Bag, Ruby, Olive
Other: Pear & Partridge Complements Rub-Ons, Red, Purple, Pink Sparkles, 3D Foam Tape

FMS#66 + Whooo's Your Valentine

Freshly Made Sketch #66 and the new Whooo's Your Valentine stamp were the inspiration for today's card.

The chevron and heart pieces were stamped with images from the adorable stamp set. The decorative heart doily was cut using the glitter paper included with the Whooo's Your Valentine kit (and it's a sneak peak from the Spring/Summer 2013 catalog!).

The doily was cut at 2 1/2" and the circle was cut at 1 3/4". The heart doily has a lot of intricate little cuts so I recommend using the low speed and high pressure setting on your cricut as well as using setting 6 on your blade.

Supplies used (all CTMH unless otherwise noted):
Paper: Silver Glitter Paper, White Daisy Cardstock, Black Cardstock, Pink Pastels (American Crafts)
Stamps: Whoo's Your Valentine
Ink: Slate, Cotton Candy, Black, Metallics Marker (Silver)
Other: Cricut Artiste, Cricut Art Philosophy, Glitz Glitter Glue

MOJO Monday 271



 

I used this MOJO Monday sketch to create today's birthday card. The background was stamped using tone-on-tone ink and the Diverse Background stamp. The doily image was cut using the Cricut Artiste Cartridge and stamped with the coordinating Pirouette Stamp set. I love how so many of the CTMH stamps coordinate with their cricut cartridges!

 

Thanks for checking it out!

 

Supplies used (all CTMH unless otherwise noted):
Paper: Bamboo Cardstock, Miracle (retired)
Stamps: Diverse Background (D1508), Pirouette (B1409), Card Chatter Birthday (D1475)
Ink: Bamboo, Crystal Blue
Other: Blue Buttons, Hemp, Organdy White Satin Edge Ribbon, Border Punch (Fiskars), Cricut Artiste
