October STOM: Holiday Magic

These two cards are my October STOM Swaps (S1110 Holiday Magic)

This 4 3/4 x 3 card is using "Center Accent" from Originals.  The technique on this card is the use of CTMH's Glitz Glitter Gel in Silver, Bronze, and Red.  I love how the Glitz Glitter makes my cards POP!

This 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card is using "Lucky Three" from Originals.  Again, I used the Glitz glitter Gel in Silver to add ornaments to my Christmas Tree.  I also love how the chunky Sweet Leaf Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon adds dimension to my card.

September SOTM: Limited Edition

These cards are my September SOTM Swap (S1109 Limited Edition)

This little 3x3 card is using the "Stage Right" template from Originals.  I absolutely LOVE using CTMH's 2" Scallop Circle Punch to create layered flowers.  The edges are ink distressed and then crumple each flower before layering.

This 4 3/4 x 3 card is using "Right Spotlight" from Originals.  On this card I used the masking technique to stamp the "note paper" image inside of the tag.

Who Loves ~ FREE?!?!? (SOTM Changes)

I returned from the 2011 CTMH Convention that was held in Anaheim, CA.  I have TONS of information to share!!  One of the things that is changing is the Stamp of the Month program.  In order to stay within reasonable purchases and still get cool stuff....CTMH is LOWERING the qualifying order to get the Stamp of the Month.

Old way: 
Spend $25 get the SOTM for $17.21
Spend $50 get the SOTM for $11.48
Spend $75 get the SOTM for $5.74
Spend $100 get the SOTM for FREE

In today's economy, who can afford to splurge and spend $100 a month on CTMH products every month?  So, CTMH has decided to bring the exclusive SOTM within reach!  Spend $50 get the SOTM for $5....or outright purchase it outrigh for $17.95.  Did you notice that I said $17.95?  Yes, CTMH has even LOWERED the cost of EVERY STAMP SET!!
