CTMH

Double sided Cardstock- Weeee!

by CraftyAmanda in Cards, Close to My Heart, CTMH, Scrapbook, Stamping | 2 Comments

Yes,  Close to My Heart has changed their amazing white core cardstock to make it even better.  Still has the same white core,  but now one side is the true CTMH color and the other side is a shade or two lighter!   This is a game changer for me.  I’ll be able to use one sheet of cardstock to create multi-toned flowers (or other images).

The Complements that coordinate with the color pallets are fresh and current.  Take a Look!

Adventure:

Enchantment:

Whimsy:

And here are the new basics.  If you want to see these in more details,  check out this blog post.

I love the basics complements.  I can see using them on so many projects!

Convention has ended and my order has been placed.  Now I just have to wait.   In the meantime,  I am excited to share more of the new items with you.   The Basics Collection has been updated and you can see the changes here.

Today I am thrilled to announce CTMH has once again released  new Cricut Collections.  One cartridge is a more traditional package including cardstock, stamps and a physical and digital cartridge option,  and the other(s) are digital only.   Available starting August 1st.  

The New collection is called You are Here and is travel themed.

It comes with the three stamp sets shown, a pack of the Enchantment (double colored) cardstock, book & cartridge.  There is a digital only option that is also available.

I’m really looking forward to getting hands on this cartridge,  AND finding some time off the tractor to play with it!

The other Cricut images that are being offered are more specific to countries.  Canada, Australia and New Zeeland & the United States.

Includes 60 layered images with  shapes, overlays, state names & slogan as well as other state specific icons (flower). Digital only for $49.95.Includes 20 layered images with shapes, overlays, provinces & territories names & slogan as well as local flower & general images about Canada.  Digital only. $24.95Includes 20 layered images with shapes, overlays and Australian & New Zealand States and territories names.  This collection of images also includes  specific images for each country & the flags. $24.95 digital only.

These are also going on my wish list.  🙂  Maybe I’ll win the lottery.  I should make a remember to buy a ticket.

Happy Crafting!

Great New Products are Coming Soon

by CraftyAmanda in Close to My Heart, Cricut, CTMH, Scrapbook, Stamping | Leave a comment

Hi Everyone,
I just finished placing my consultant preview order for some of the new items being shown in the new Annual Inspirations!  (Everyone can order starting August 1st!)   I am very excited about all the new products coming out and I knew you would be too,  so I will try and post new items each day so you can join me in my thrill of the new direction we’re taking with CTMH.

Here’s the cover of the 2017-2018 Annual Inspirations

I’ll start with showing you the new colors in the Basics Collections.  All the current colors, excepting black have been retired and new ones have replaced them.  Black will be a stand alone color just like White Daisy.  Colonial White is also being retired.   Looking at the photo below,  you might notice that our cardstock is now two toned.  The true CTMH color on the dark side and the back is a shade lighter.   (so 20 new colors!) Just remember you can’t order until August 1st!

Are you curious about the new names of these colors?   Here they are.

Toffee

Nutmeg

Espresso

Heather

Mink

Linen

Pebble

Pewter

Charcoal

CTMH also redid all the Fundamentals for the basics set.  I can already see these in both scrapbooking and cards!   I’m so looking forward to my goodies arriving.  Too bad it’s the start of haying season!

Fundamentals with beautiful Cmplements to make creating lovely items easy!

The last new item in the Basics collection is the set of pigment ink pads.  I have recently begun using my color pigment inks with clear embossing power on my projects and I don’t have to worry about everything matching!   One more item to add to my future purchases list.  🙂

Love seeing all the new products!

Happy Crafting!
