Let’s talk more about…Pathfinding

   Well, I’ve already introduced you to Pathfinding as a Paperpack and a Scrapbook Workshop.

 It’s also available as a Cardmaking Workshop (G1083).  With the contents of the kit (Duo, cardstock, card bases, Exclusive D- size stamp set, Bronze shimmer trim, the NEW Gold Sequins and a how-to Brochure) you get to make 15 cards (5 each of 3 designs).

You will also need 4 inks and 4 blocks.  The inks are:  Chocolate, Goldrush, Desert Sand and the New Glacier.  The recommended blocks are: 1x1, 1x3 1/2, 2x2 and 4x5”.

The designs are super easy to make.  And when you’re done, you’ll have a variety of ‘Thank You’-type cards.


Please Note:  the kit can actually make quite a lot more than 15 cards.  Contact me to purchase a Cutting Guide and Instruction sheet that will make up to 45 cards.

Let me introduce you to – Shinhan Twin Touch Markers

I am sooo happy that CTMH has adopted the Shinhan Twin Touch markers into the CTMH products family!! 

The ShinhanArt Company is a long- established company (over 20 years) that specializes in inks for artists.  The Twin Touch are dual- tipped (fine and chisel), refillable alcohol markers that have replaceable tips.  They offer seamless color blending.  And they're odorless (at least it’s not very strong like other markers), for anyone who finds markers irritating to use because of the strong odor.  CTMH carries 24 colors, including  skin-tones and neutrals, plus the colorless blender. 
As the Shinhan Art Company is a separate company from CTMH, the marker colors are not an exact match to our proprietary CTMH colors but a ‘best match’.  See the chart below- Thanks to Card monkey for providing it.

Just visit Pinterest for a vast number of beautifully- colored images.  For project ideas and marker techniques, you can visit TwinTouch.blogspot.com or Youtube.   Check out my Artwork tab to see what I’ve done.

Let’s Talk About- PML

What is PML?

    PML is Picture My Life.  It's a super easy and quick way to do your scrapbooking using cards and pockets/ divided page protectors. And that's where the similarity to other cad/pocket systems end.  Our cards are so beautiful you won't want to use them!--Except for wallpapering your bedroom, maybe.

What we offer:

  We offer 13 different and gorgeous sets made up from some of our best-selling paper lines, like Partridge and Pear, Chantilly, Babycakes, Sk8tr, For Always, Avonlea, Lola, Surf's Up, Balloon Ride and Skylark and from some soon-to-be favorites Wanderful, Seaside and Chalk it up.  Each set comes with 44- 4x6 cards (2ea of 22 designs), 78- 3x4 cards (3 ea of 26 designs), 1- 12x12 cover sheet and a 10 pack of the divided Memory page protectors.  All this for just $27.50. 

Here they are: 

                                        

It not Just for Pockets Anymore!

   If you're new to the pocket way of scrappin' and worried you couldn't possibly use all those cards, worry no more!  Think outside of the pocket.  These cards are great as photo mats, journaling cards or pretty embellishments on a standard 12x12 layout.  Or maybe use them on a card.  Or maybe create a stunning mini album with them.  The possibilities are endless!  If you're interested in learning how to get the most out of your card collection, I will be holding a PML- Learn How class in the following months- check my Calendar and Classes tabs for more info.

OMG!  It’s on SALE!!

  As a super treat, when you buy any PML kit in the month of August, you have the option to purchase a second pack of the divided Memory Protectors for just $3!  That’s  $7 savings.  Just mention this Constant Campaign when ordering.
