Hello Lovely Stamps & Thin Cuts

Hello Lovely Congratulations CardOne of the best parts of managing a team of consultants with Close To My Heart is recognising them for achievements within their business.  For some it is acknowledgement of amazing sales or recruiting and for others it is recognising their first tentative steps in the business.  I like to make cards each month to send to team members.

As women, it is so rare to have someone tell us we are doing a great job.  I know that receiving happy mail in the post gives my team members such a buzz.  I was p…

Magical Thin Cuts

Have you seen the new range of Thin Cuts in the CTMH Annual Inspirations Catalogue?  They are not linked to a stamp set and are super versatile for pages and cards.  Today I'm showcasing how good the Stars and Celebrate Thin Cuts look in Glitter paper.  I'm using up the last of my Magical papers.  This collection retires at the end of August.

When cutting Glitter paper  run it through your embossing machine twice.  Then the cuts pop out so easily.  If the shape or word does appear stuck in the fr…

Thin Cuts - Moroccan Feast

We have friends who are as devoted to good food and wine as we are.  Recently we had a Moroccan themed dinner party.  Having never been to Morocco, I have no table accessories to suit. I needed my trusty CTMH supplies to create the illusion!
