Behind the Scenes

“Behind the Scenes” features the core basic stamping techniques to enhance your projects.

 

Retiring papers

In the beginning of December, CTMH announced everything that will be discontinued in the Spring/Summer Idea Book which starts Feb 1st.  The papers are always a given. (only 4 will stay from the current Idea Book)  But the embellishments and stamps are always an unknown until the next Idea Book & Catalog are released.  So make your list, and check it twice and order ASAP!  Now that the list is out, some items will not be reordered… So it’s “While Supplies Last” even for these current catalog items!    More blog posts are coming with retiring stamps & embellishments.

Who’s Your Valentine!?!?!

Starting Thursday, December 13th, this very sweet (and versatile) kit can be yours for just $10 with a $35 purchase. 

Don’t do Valentine’s day?  Grab this kit for Easter or a birthday party.  Add a couple colors and make it your custom celebration. 

 

 

My favorite part?  The stamp set and the silver glitter paper!  Shimmer paper is just as shimmery as our Silver Shimmer Trim which is dazzling!
