CTMH Consultant Welcome Pack

We all have different reasons that we choose to do something. It could be something we feel we should do, or maybe we really want to do it. Sometimes it’s because everyone else is doing it. Or maybe you’ve been on the fence about doing it and then the simple act of someone suggesting you do it, is enough to push you to do it.

Happy Groundhog Day!

February 2, 2017 by Kristina Baldwin

Happy Groundhog Day to you! Here in California, Groundhog Day doesn’t seem like such a big deal.

Crazy for Cards Event

January 24, 2017 by Kristina Baldwin

Thanks Oodles Card

This past Saturday, we held our Annual Crazy for Cards Event. This event is a wonderful way to get exposure to many different styles of cards, techniques and fold styles. This year we created 9 different standard sized cards along with 9 mini cards.

We had 3 instructors who each designed 4 projects and 34 ladies registered. It was an all day extravaganza of card making FUN!

Here are the projects we did:

Congrats Double Dutch Card

Card #1

This is a Double Dutch Fold Card which focused on embossing and coloring with alcohol markers. I love how the embossed look not only gives more dimension, but also helps you stay in the lines easier when coloring. =) And you just can’t go wrong with our Foil Tape!

Donut Window Card w/ Belly Band

Open Donut Window Card

Card #2

This card focused on using our Sugar Rush Thin Cuts to not only cut out the donut and it’s coordinating glaze/sprinkles, but also the window for the card base. I love how beautiful the Sugar Rush Dots are–so much sparkle to them!
