BBMP Chantilly Cards & CTMH Specials Ending Today

It is the end of February 2022. The first two months of 2022 seemed to pass in record time. Why does time seem to be passing at double speed lately? As it is the end of the month, there are a few specials ending tonight, including the Bring Back My Pack—Chantilly special.

I recently completed two additional cards using the Chantilly stamps. I also challenged myself to use the background slimline Thin Cuts on an A2 (4¼" x 5½") card. Since the special ends tonight and, honestly I am pretty happy with the finished cards, I thought I would share the cards.

For this card I used the Hearts Slimline Thin Cuts (Z39992). To create a layer that hides the edge of the Slimline Thin Cuts, I centered a die (Spellbinders Large Labels) left to right on a piece of 4¼" x 5½" cardstock about ⅝" from the top edge and used low tack tape (iCraft Removable Purple Tape) to hold the die in place. I ran the die and cardstock part way through the die-cutting machine then reversed the direction. I removed the tape and slide the die down the cardstock to about ⅝" from the bottom, taped in place and ran through the die-cutting machine part way, then revered again.

Here's a closer look at the "fancy" corner created by the die.

I used a combination of adhesives to assemble the card and attach the fussy cut embellishments.

On my second card I used the Dots Slimline Thin Cuts (Z3993). On this card I used the same technique for cutting the aperture, but this time the die was too long, so I had to pull the die toward the top so I would not cut off the bottom.

For the cards above, I used Happy Thoughts (C1536) and Chantilly Scrapbooking Workshop Stamp Set (C1553), two of the three stamps that were brought back for Bring Back My Pack—Chantilly.

Here's a reminder of the specials that are ending at midnight MST tonight (2am EST on March 1):

Finally, today is the last day the January–February 2022 Catalog is valid.

Unfortunately a few items have already sold out. Typically when an item is sold out it will not be restocked, but due to logistical issues the Sweet as Honey Cardmaking Workshop (G1246) will be available sometime in March. The last time some of the Sweet as Honey Cardmaking Workshop became available they sold out fast, so my suggestion, if you are hoping to get this cardmaking workshop, is to check back daily (weekdays) and not to wait for an email from CTMH Corporate or myself (they sold out so fast they were gone before I saw the announcement).

I hope your last day of February 2022 is fantastic.
