CTMH Cricut Artistry Collection - Gift With Purchase!

Happy August 1st!  Yes, this is my third and final post for today!  The first one has the links to the select new CTMH products that are available one month earlier than the launch date of the new catalog. You can find that post here.  

The second one showcases the new Zoe paper packet that I used for a cute Owl Mini-Album. 

You can find that post here. 

Which brings me to the really important part of this post....  How to receive free stuff when you order the new CTMH/Cricut Artistry Cartridge Collection! (Click here to see all the images.)

CTMH Artistry Cartridge Collection

The newest cartridge includes shapes spanning a wide variety of themes, holidays, and seasons to add some visual spice to any project you create. Get back to basics with the unique font, banners, layered shapes, borders, backgrounds, and other fun icons you'll find on this cartridge. All of the designs are a must for any crafter!

Collection includes:

1 – Cartridge (700 images: Shapes, Layers, Banners, Borders, Backgrounds, and Font)

3 – My Acrylix® D-size Stamp Sets

1 – Enchantment Cardstock Combo Pack

When you place your order through my website you will also receive FREE Stuff from me! You do not need to put these items in your shopping cart because they will be sent directly to you from me in Arizona. The Artistry Cricut Collection will be shipped from CTMH in Utah.  If you wish to purchase the August SOTM or any other items from my website, please do so!  They will be shipped from CTMH with your Cricut cartridge.

1 - Owl #1 Chipboard Book kit (8 1/2" x 5 3/4") - this post has the photos of the unfinished book, which is how it will arrive.  It has 17 pieces of kraft chipboard die-cuts for pages, covers and an owl to decorate and bind as you desire. ($4.95 value plus the postage = $10.70 value)

And for those of you who would prefer to buy the Artistry Digital Collection, I am offering the same great gift!

Cricut Artistry Digital Collection

Contains the same shapes, stamp sets, and cardstock as the cartridge collection. The only difference is the 700 images are accessed using an online code rather than a physical cartridge.*

Hello!

After a wonderful, amazing, long trip to Europe and a short week-long trip to a little bit cooler area of Arizona, I am back!  And ready to get back to papercrafting!

The first thing I made upon returning was this Hello card.  I love stamping and it always makes me feel like I can make something usable fairly quickly when I make a card.  The background stamps are from the Assorted Edges set, stamped in Pacifica Ink. 

The Hello sentiment is from the Cricut Artfully Sent Collection set.  I stamped it using Versamark ink and embossed with Silver embossing powder.  The inside of the card is simple:

It was stamped with black ink using a retired stamp set.  Which brings me to the most important part of this post.  Sorry for the lengthy lead-up!  CTMH has announced the list of retiring items.  Unfortunately, some of the items have already sold out.  Items are available here while supplies last.

Some of the retiring items are six of the CTMH Exclusive ink and cardstock colors.  If you need to replenish your stock or have been waiting to get a re-inker, please order them before they are gone! As always, please let me know if you have any questions.  It is good to be back and I look forward to hearing from you!

Thank you for stopping by today.
