Cut Above Layout Kit


Red and green, silver and gold—we love the traditional holiday color palette. This season, why not have a little fun and switch things up! Venture into the trendy world of pastel colors and try incorporating them in your Christmas cardmaking and scrapbooking projects.
Pastel color schemes are an easy way to give your holiday crafts a feminine, sophisticated look or a cool, vintage feel.
Take a look at how we are using pastels for Christmas projects this year.

This scrapbook page shows you how to mix and match cardstock, paper packets, and Complements to create a completely different color scheme. The pastel color palette gives the project a delicate tone that draws attention to the photos, while the silver glitter die-cuts add some classic holiday bling.
If you like this color trend for your layouts but aren’t too confident you can pull it off without a little bit of help, give our Noelle Cut Above^® layout kit a try.

Featuring the dreamy hues of the pastel holiday trend, this kit is the perfect option for easy memory keeping! The kit includes base pages, stickers, die-cuts, Memory Protectors™, and instructions—all you need is adhesive and a journaling pen! (If you are worried about whether or not your photos will match, try printing them in black and white. Not only would black and white photos look great on this layout, but they would also create a vintage finish to your pages.)

Paired with black and white, a pastel color scheme can add a touch of class to holiday crafts, including cards. Adding a Christmas sentiment with sparkles and Silver Glitter Trim keeps things festive.

If you prefer a softer, vintage feel, you can combine pink or blue with silver, like the card above. This card features an embossed sentiment and some simple silver embellishments. We’ve created extra dimension by using our Tree Line Border Thin Cuts and both sides of our two-toned Linen cardstock.

As you get your holiday crafting underway, don’t foget to try this trend out with your gift tags, too!
Maybe holiday reds and greens aren’t your thing, or maybe you’re looking for something new this year. Pastel color schemes can help you create Christmas projects that are subtle and elegant or fresh and classy. Give it a try! Tell us how you’re using this color trend in your projects in the comments.

Physical Cricut Cartridges to Retire

Provo Craft has recently made the decision to discontinue production of physical Cricut® cartridges. CTMH has attempted to secure enough inventory of the You Are Here collection to last us through the duration of our Annual Inspirations 2017–2018 idea book, but effective immediately, all Cricut® Collections that include a physical cartridge are available while supplies last.

 CTMH has made every effort to preserve this product offering for as long as possible.  CTMH has been aware that eventually physical cartridges would be phased out in favor of the digital business model, and have been taking steps to make the transition easier. CTMH has introduced digital-only collections as a way to encourage our customer base to make the switch; CTMH has also introduced a Cricut® Explore Air 2 hostess bundle as an incentive for Consultants and customers alike to upgrade their Cricut® machines. Recently, we even started to include image numbers in our artwork recipes to make it easier to locate images in Design Space.

Tutorial videos are in the works that will help our customers learn more about how to use Design Space and the newer Cricut® machines. We all understand it can be challenging to learn a new system, but also recognize the benefits that come from using the newer machines, including greater control over the creative process and increased flexibility in working Cricut® shapes into your artwork. Though we are sorry to see our physical cartridges go, we are excited about the possibilities available with our digital collections. 

 

 I remember 8-tracks going and cassettes being introduced ~ Then cassettes leave and the CD is the latest greatest...Now Pandora Etc.  SO, as we embrace the new Digital Cartridges, its a whole new world!!!!  I am just learning AND Trust Me I am loving it!!!!  I know, you may have concerns about not being able to be online all the time. You now are able to work offline with your designs as well. That is a huge improvement! There are a lot of fun things you can create - let me show you how!

Please contact me to order your CTMH Cricut Cartridges NOW while stock is available:  llanghammer.ctmh.com    cricut-collections.asp   

OR Contact Me with any concerns about acquiring your CTMH Physical Cartridge: scrappingbee42@gmail.com phone: 801-391-5806

I love the many new art ideas that are contained in this edition. The book has 68 pages full of great products. Hurry - you will have until December, you know how quickly time goes :)
