Here we go again. Where did March 2023 go? It seems like I was just writing up information about the March Stamptacular special and, poof, here we are on the verge of April Fool's Day. As I write this I still have not purchased my wish list from Stamptacular (let's be honest, my wish list was long and I needed to get serious about narrowing it down to a more modest list) and unfortunately I missed some stamps + Thin Cuts that would have otherwise made the cut (Friendship Daisy I am looking at you). I still have a couple of hours to make some hard decisions. [insert grin]

Cardstock Carnival

Just like Stampaganza or Stamptacular, Cardstock Carnival is another anticipated CTMH Special. During the month of April you are able to purchase single-color packs at a 15% discount, color-themed bundles of 24 sheets (either 6 each of four colors or 8 sheets of three colors) at a 20% discount or a Super Bundle (seven sheets of each colored cardstock) at a 30% discount.
There is also an opportunity to purchase a 6" x 12" sheet of die-cuts in several colors. The "true color" side is flooded with glossy UV coating. There is also a Cardstock Carnival Die-Cuts Bundle.
This flyer has all of the details, but ignore the March dates on it. Cardstock Carnival is really from April 1 through April 30, 2023, while supplies last. I am not the only one who is having a hard time keeping up with how fast 2023 is moving.
