FREE Card Kits in January!

Happy New Year Friends!! 



A Brand new month means a brand new stamp of the month - AND a brand new stamp of the month kit! 

During January 2018 when you order the Stamp of the Month (Bloom and Grow #S1801) for only $5 (you can purchase the limited edition stamp set at a $12.95 savings when you place any order of $50 or more!) you will receive this pre-cut (3) card kit (with an interactive pocket) as well as the emailed cutting guide and recipe sheet from me FREE!





When you purchase the January Stamp of the Month for only $5 YOU can get one of these kits absolutely FREE from me!

And GUESS WHAT?! Not only will you receive the pre-cut kit you will ALSO receive an emailed recipe sheet, cutting guide, and cricut design space file to create even more cards using your own stamp!


The kit will include all of the pre-cut pieces, gems, twine, as well as card bases and envelopes! I will also email you the cutting guide, recipe sheet containing photos of the completed projects (for assembly assistance) as well as paper piece measurements so you can re-create even more cards on your own! 

You will also receive a Cricut Design Space file to be able to cut more of the interactive pockets for the front of the 'seed packet' card! (You do not need to own any of the CTMH Cartridges to be able to cut this file.) Just use your own stamp set to complete the kit! I've done the hard part for you and you can simply enjoy creating!

Okay, so of the (3) cards THIS one is my favorite! It features a pocket on the front that holds a packet of garden seeds perfectly but it could also hold gift cards, cash, etc. 

























This card could be used for so many fun things, you could also use the pocket for a scrapbook page!

Next, two simplistic cards showcase the beautiful blue and green hues...I even used our Shin Han markers to color the white gems. :)







If you'd like to create even more of these cards using your own January Stamp of the month I'm providing the complete supply listing below for you.


This cutting guide will create (6) 3-card kits (18 cards total) using the January 2018 Stamp of the Month.

Greetings Friends! 

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I feel so grateful to begin another year truly doing what I love each day...and I thank YOU for allowing me to share what I do with you! Each of you are such a Blessing to me! 

As I type this our thermometer reads -2 degrees (YIKES! That is COLD for Missouri!) so a Springtime project is refreshing! 



I Loved this paper from the moment I set eyes upon it and here is Workshop #1 using this Seasonal Expressions IdeaBook Volume #1! Didn't it turn out Fabulous?! 

I created (30) greeting cards using only half a paper pack and a few sheets of Cardstock (Hello Thrifty!) Here's a little bit closer look at the (15) individual card designs!
















I just love the bright and cheerful look of these cards! Don't you?! 

I Love our products - really, they are the BEST but the real wonderfulness comes from butchering them up into something uniquely spectacular! That's why I create these workshops.  I want to give you a 'road map' to butcher up your products into gorgeous projects with ease!
