CTMH Kids Craft - Born To Shine

This is the upcoming CTMH Kids Crafts event we're holding. If you have littlies that like to craft with you, definitely check this out!

CTMH Kids Crafts - Born To Shine Mini Album

What is it?
Prepare for a special, kid-friendly creative experience with the CTMH Kids Crafts virtual event taking place 22 August! This event will walk kids through each step of creating an adorable mini album using the Born to Shine album kit.

Who is teaching it?
Miss Maya Wihongi, the 9 year old daughter of CTMH's President will be teaching this kit. Expect a lot of fun and shenanigans!

What is included in the kit?
The kit includes an exclusive stamp set, mini stamping block, Summer Vibes Picture My Life™ Cards, and a fun Story by Stacy™ 4″ × 4″ album. Let your young crafter shine with this fun virtual event!

How do I watch the kit being put together?
It will be assembled August 22nd at 8:30am AEST via facebook live on the CTMH Official facebook page. Click here to access the video list and watch it live or as a replay.

Does it cost money to watch the video?
No. It is free to watch the assembly video! Please do not click on any facebook links that demand to know your credit card details in order to watch. (How do you know you are onto a good thing? When there's been so much interest in these live events that the scammers have come out en masse!)

I watched the video, I like the concept, now how do I purchase the kit to make this with my kids?
Click here to purchase it in my shop. This kit is available to purchase until August 31 unless sold out earlier. Time is of the essence my darlings!

There are a few extra things you'll need to assemble the album. These items are also available in my shop, simply click on the links to purchase. 12" trimmer, adhesive, pen, black ink pad, stamp shammy, or invest in the Stamping Starter Kit which includes one Stamp Shammy, a 2"x2" block, AND a Black ink pad!

My kids LOVE crafting and making cards....
If your littlies like making cards over mini books, have no fear. We have a super cute cardmaking event coming too! Watch this space for details on the Funny Farm Cards event on September 26!

Christmas Countdown- New Card Design

It's mid November and you know what that means? Christmas is nearly upon us. And THAT means it's time to get your Christmas cards sorted!

One of my lovely sister consultants Lyn Edwards of Lyn's Crafty Cards, made this pretty card for a team challenge. I liked it and decided to replicate it somehow. I don't have the frond stampset so I improvised with stamps I did have.

This is what I came up with. I'm pretty happy with it! To learn this card and for the full materials list, you're in luck!

I'm teaching this at my next Christmas Card Buffet! Simply contact me to book your spot.

Thank you again to Lyn for her beautiful example and easy to follow instructions. :)
