DYNAMITE Disney KIT - NEW 2023

 


Hooray!!!! 

Saying I'm so incredibly EXCITED to be releasing a BRAND New Disney Kit, is an understatement!!!!  It has been a long time coming & it has felt like a lot of pressure to me. Hopefully you will LOVE these new designs as much as I do. It is definitely more of a "Generic" kit but my brain has lots of specific pages in mind too. This is a jump start for me!!! 

This DYNAMIC Kit is filled with FUN techniques & ideas for using 6x6 paper stacks. They have become all the rage & it was so great to design with this wonderful color pallet!


When I saw this special, I was SO excited because I knew it would be so great for Disney. I also mixed in a special pack that I have been "SAVING" for just the right kit!  Its called "CHEERFUL" and it was never sold separately. HOWEVER, since I made founder last year I was able to get my hands on it & I LOVE it so much. It coordinates with these prints perfectly!

DYNAMITE DISNEY is HERE! Order TODAY!










Please Note there will NOT be Cutting Guide for this File. Please see my note on the Cricut PAGE for this decision. I am SO excited to be back. I am just grateful I can still create for you!

If you would like to purchase the Kit it includes a TON of Product, My Color Guide & Instructions for Assembly. I will also have Assembly TIPS & Techniques Video's available for everyone that purchases the kit.  Kits & Video's will ship early March!

In the future I will offer just cricut cut images to purchase. Until I get used to cutting with out my Sean helper I am going to limited this to just the kit so that I don't get too over whelmed. 


Don't forget to pick up the BONUS BUNDLE! You will NEED these items!
As a THANK YOU, I'm giving you FREE shipping on them!



CRICUT / E-File Cutting Guide Updates


Hi Friends & Fans!

I have made a difficult decision. I LOVE designing cricut images & that has sort of been what I'm known for. With the recent path CTMH has taken in regarding cricut images & going to strictly SVG images, I can no longer "SHARE" my images from them. It is also getting increasingly difficult to share my designs used in cricut as well. I will be investing in software so that I can design and share my own images. This will take me some time to get that all under my belt.

I have decided I can no longer share any Cricut / SVG files. I will no longer be selling my guides that include those images. For every 1 file I might sell, I have 100's of emails after the fact asking for help & guidance. "My images won't load, It says this image is Banned, I click on it and nothing happens" The complaints from the multiple systems across the world & who has what images, updates, etc. It is TOO MUCH for me to deal with and most issues are out of my control. Stuff that I can't fix. Cricut has made substantial changes over the years & my old files are complicated to get to work. It causes me so much stress. For this reason I am deciding at this time NOT to continue "selling my files" if you would like just the cut images I will have a new options for that. I am still working out the details in regards to that but be looking for that option coming soon.

As I get back into working full time again this may change but for now, NO Guides with Cricut or SVG images will be sold or shared. That includes International.

Thanks for understanding!

Ginni

I'm Back!!! NEW Kit NOW Available for Ordering!

 Hey Gigglin' Hearts Fans, Friends & Family!

If you follow my personal pages & FB you will know my husbands Sean's battle with cancer ended Aug 25th, 2022 unfortunately. He fought for 3 VERY long years. I am grateful for all your support during that time. I appreciate your patience more than you will ever know. 


I LOVE him so very much. I miss him EVERYDAY! Aug 28th would have been our 29th anniversary. The last 4 months have been super difficult. One day I'm fine, the next I'm a mess. Its very very taxing. So I'm hoping I can find some relief in being creative again and that being said I NEED to get back to work.

I am unsure if I will be able to continue with CTMH or not. If I can support myself with my CTMH income alone. This year - 2023 will be the test. On November 7th, 2022 I celebrated my 25th Anniversary with CTMH and I couldn't even celebrate that feet because of my grief. SOOOO Like Disney, since this is my 25th year, we will have a special surprise each month to celebrate!

First up is a "Starter Back" kit for me.

Its not my typical kit. There is no Cricut cuts. I am unsure how I am going to design, do guides, proof and cut everything with out Sean's help. I only purchased 11 of them. Typically I would do 25-30 kits. So this is EXTREMELY limited. However I will say this is a GREAT kit for people with little time OR for people just starting out, and anyone that LOVES to just play with papers! HA! You will love this album when it is complete!

THESE ARE THE DAYS - A YEAR IN REVIEW!


Pre-Recorded Videos will be Available & FEB 11th, 2023

ORDER HERE!

A couple things to NOTE:

1) I ended up having a little hospital visit & un-expected DR appts the past 2 weeks so since the materials retired 3/31, I went ahead and pre-ordered enough for my regular number of kits.  HURRY though! It could possibly sell out early. 

2)Kits should start shipping around April 25th & Our online FB Classes will be May 13 & 14th.

3)There will unfortunately NOT be E-Files for purchase for this kit. For a couple reasons - The cricut files on these larger kits have become an on-going nightmare. I used CTMH Digital SVG files - again a Nightmare and i cannot share any modifications I used on them. I also used inspiration from CTMH and other Makers in designing a few of these pages & I don't feel right "selling" them. I also was able to use some oldies but goodies on this kit that I think added nicely to it.  AND lastly people & probably the biggest reason, people have just gotten very difficult for me to deal with regarding "cricut" and what they own & don't own & the error messages, etc. For me, right now its just too much. If you'd like to make my pages, I promise you the kit is worth EVERY penny! Have some fun, spoil yourself & enjoy!!! This kit especially is AMAZING! AND you'll be helping my family too! We appreciate every order!!!

4)The kit is $125 for 20 pages!!! I am very happy with how the pages worked out & used every last scrap of paper I swear. So the value alone is wonderful! Plus I was able to take advantage of the Cardstock savings. CTMH charges $250+ for their 20 page kits. 

5) There is an AMAZING Bonus Bundle I've put together for you! Every year I try to do one Fundraiser to help Operation Smile AND benefit YOU! This bundle is a $75+ value for only $60 and includes 3 amazing stamp sets + 12 Sheets of our newly retired Coated Cardstock!!! That once you play with it, if you haven't already you will LOVE it!!!! So its like getting that Cardstock FREE! You will SAVE $15 AND as an extra Bonus, CTMH donates $7 to Operation Smile from every stamp set, AND I'm going to match it for every bundle purchased and donate $7 myself!!! SO Save $15, Donate $14!!! Win, Win!

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!!

 


OoOOH My Gosh! Have I said I'm excited lately! 

Seriously, I'm so excited to be getting back to WORKING! I just can't tell you how good it is for my soul. 

Every day, I struggle with fear about how much longer Sean is going to live. Every day is different and so my life is still a hot mess. The biggest thing that has changed is the PRESSURE about where I'm going to live after he passes and how I'm going to live once he is gone. Right now, Chemo is still working so that is GREAT news and he is stable. He will never be "cured" but he's past his 6 months they gave him & we just pray and appreciate every day we have left together.

SO more good news, the old house has SOLD, the closing should be this week & things are all moving in the right direction. If I haven't Thank'd you lately, then THANK YOU for all your amazing support, patience, prayers, and kindness. I'm hoping life for a little while will finally have some consistency instead of constant ciaos! Whoo Hooo! Wouldn't that be a Christmas Miracle???

At any rate I wanted to give you a little break down of the upcoming months & what is happening & I would LOVE to start doing some online and in person classes!!!

The stamp set & thin cuts alone are adorable, but the paper is FABULOUS!!! So bright and cheerful. It will put a smile on anyone's face! The best part it is, it has one side that is very generic and universal! It's really very CUTE! AND CTMH has put together an adorable workshop kit to go with it!

SAVE 20% on Kits!!! + FREE Instructions!







HERE's what I have made so far!

Valentines for all my CTMH VIP's! Are you a VIP yet???

You can bank 15% from EVERY purchase in FREE products!

+ 1/2 Price Item in your Birthday Month!

FREE Samples & Catalogs every other month!




I love these CUTE Shaker Pieces!

Shakers are so fun to make. Here are some of the things you'll want to make them. CTMH carries all these fun things! You can grab them on my website.

I just posted a video how to make these on my FB Page on Sat Jan 8th. 

Z3870 Heart Shaker Window Thin Cut

Z4312 Heart Shaker Window Foam & Acetate

Z5028 Loose Gems Mulberry
Z5021 Wildberry Sequins

Z5027 Candy Apple Loose Gems

Z6014 Acrylic Hearts
Z4523 Pink Mini Hearts

This was such a CUTE Project, that my mom wanted for her sewing friends!

I got the inspiration from Kards by Kadie & Chris Robertson

To make my version, you will need the Smitten Paper & the Cardstock Collection.

  • Capri Cardstock 3-1/2" x 11" Scored at 2-3/4" & 5-1/2"
  • Capri Cardstock 3-1/2" x 4-3/4"
  • Smitten Printed Paper 3-1/4" x 1/2"
  • Smitten Printed Paper 3-1/4 x 4-1/2"
  • White Cardstock 2-3/4" x 4"
Its really very easy to make. Score the Capri Cardstock first. Fold it in half. Add the additional piece of Capri Cardstock to the front of the scored portion. Be sure to only adhere adhesive to the first section on the scored piece.  Fold that flap and rest it against the post-its.


Such a FUN simple easy little gifty!
