December 2020 CTMH News

Welcome to December. The year has flown by. I have to set more reminders than ever on my photo so I do not let the time slip away from me. I do not know how or why it feels like the hours, days and month fly by in record time. I sure hope it does not feel this way when I am able to retire.

If you would like a list of the products used to create the above cards, you will find the information in the Recipes, a PDF file that lists the products used to make the samples in the November–December 2020 Catalog. I am participating in a Happiness Never Grows Old blog hop this month; you will find my post here tomorrow. Please visit my December SOTM (S2012) Happiness Never Grows Old Pinterest Board for other ideas to use the Happiness Never Grows Old stamp set.

Bring Back My Pack—Blossom
Bring Back My Pack—Blossom does not kick off until December 15, but I could not keep this a secret. I loved this paper pack when CTMH offered it in 2015. I love the colors and patterns so much and I still use this paper (I purchased a bit).

When Bring Back My Pack—Blossom becomes available, be sure to look for the Workshop Guide under the product description. The Guide will walk you through creating three two-page layouts and four cards. I have not heard if there will be a Facebook Live Event; if there is, I will update the CTMH Facebook Live Crafting Events page you will find the in the green bar above.

Merry Little Christmas

Merry Little Christmas has a variety of options. There are 3-D wood ornaments in the shape of snowflakes, trees or round and wood tags that have a decorative cut out or not. There are also bundles of ornaments or tags or both tags and ornaments. Each option comes with SVG files to make it easier to use a cutting machine to match the shapes and decorative cuts to cut paper, glitter paper or vinyl to decorate the wood shapes. Other consultants shared that they used Shimmer Brushes to color the wood and I think one even used Distress Oxide™ Inks. Merry Little Christmas is available until December 31 while supplies last, however I noticed that the Snowflakes are already showing "only a few left".

Seasons in Motion is a mix of everyday and holiday-themed stamps that look animated when the tab they are stamped on is pulled under an Animation Sheet or the Thin Cut that creates an Animation Window. In addition to harvest and Christmas/winter, there is an owl and heart shape. The paper stack includes 48 sheets to coordinate beautifully with the stamps. Seasons in Motion is available until December 31 while supplies last. There is also a video on the product page showing some stamps in motion, items created with the collection and everything included in the bundle.

Feeling Grateful is an album kit that was created for CTMH Kids Crafts, but I think with a few minor adjustments it would make a wonderful album to document what any age-range is grateful for. Even though the Facebook Live has passed, the video is still available on the CTMH Facebook Page to assist with cutting and/or assembly. The Album Kit is available until December 31 while supplies last.
