Flash Sale Ends in Ten Hours, June Specials End Next Week

Good Saturday Morning. I was only going to remind you about the Flash Sale ending in 10 hours, but since I am just realizing that there is only one week left in June, (where has the month gone?), I thought I should remind you about the specials ending on June 30.

The CTMH 24-Hour Flash Sale to celebrate the official arrival of summer has only 10 hours remaining.

In case you missed the details, I shared them yesterday.

Ending in one week are the Create The Rainbow and the Dad Is Rad Specials.

Create the Rainbow has 25% off on a spectrum of crafting items, including custom cardstock packs and embellishments. There is also an exclusive Be a Rainbow stamp set only available during June. The items are available only while supplies last and unfortunate a few of the items have run out of stock and we have been told that it is likely that more items may not last until June 30.

Dad Is Rad features an exclusive stamp set or a bundle of products that you can use to create masculine-themed artwork. You can choose to create the one two-page layout, one single-page layout, and four cards in the Guide you can download from the Workshop Kit product page or you can go your own direction. If you are looking for additional ideas, please visit the Rad Dad - Masculine Themed Blog Hop.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

24-Hour Flash Sale Starts Now!

Close To My Heart is having a 24-Hour Flash Sale to celebrate the official arrival of summer and it starts now.

In case you missed the details this morning...

• Sale prices are only available on orders placed on my Consultant website.
• The sale features a mix of current and retired products. There is a limited number of these items set aside for the sale. It is possible that CTMH will sell though several of the items in the sale. Once that happens, those items will no longer be available, so shop early!
• Any current items that sell out during the sale will return to availability at normal price once the sale has ended.
• All Flash Sale items count towards Stamp of the Month qualification.
• Shipping and handling is based on the full retail value of the sale items.
• There is no grace period for ordering sale items.

If you find items you like, be sure to place your order soon, before any items sell out.

Items that were available when I took screenshots around 5:30pm on Friday:

While you are on my Consultant Website, be sure to visit the Clearance page. Like items in the Flash Sale, Clearance items may only be purchased on Consultant Websites. Even if you will be attending a Gathering or Workshop in the next 24 hours, you could not order the items there. The Hostess can still get credit for your purchases when you Join their Gathering on the Consultant Website. Just click the join button to the right of the Gathering Name. Here is an example using on old screenshot:

Also visit the Going Soon page where you will find some the items that are still available from Seasonal Expressions 1.

Happy shopping and have a fabulous weekend.

CTMH Thin Cuts—Favor Box Assembly

Close To My Heart created a video showing how to assemble the Thin Cuts—Favor Box. If you are not sure what product I am talking about you will find a photo and description here.

If you follow my blog, you might remember the box I shared during the Seasonal Expressions 2 New Product Blog Hop. For this box I choose to use twine rather than ribbon so the letters would not compete with the ribbon.


As you can see in this assembly video, the box is complete in just a few quick and simple steps.



This Favor Box can be used for a variety of occasions by changing the colors and embellishments. I look forward to seeing what you create with this die.

If you would like to place an order or browse the products available from my CTMH Consultant Website, the Shop Now button will take you there.

If you have any product or promotion questions, do not hesitate to email me. You will also find me on Facebook at Brenda's Paper Crafts. Thank you for visiting today.

To celebrate the official arrival of summer, Close To My Heart is having another 24-Hour Flash Sale this month. The sale starts Friday afternoon at 5:00pm EDT.
