New CTMH Pigment Pad Options and White Daisy Cardstock UPDATE

There are two new products that are not in the annual idea book and some new advice on cutting the White Daisy cardstock using your Cricut machine.  Please continue reading for more information on these updates.

Close To My Heart has made two new options available to you who love the Exclusive Inks™ Mini Pigment Pads: Z9998 Bulk Mini Pigment Black and Z9997 Bulk Mini Pigment Cocoa. These two new items provide 10 mini pigment pads in either black or Cocoa for $19.95 USD/$21.95 CAD—the same great price as the other sets of mini pigment pads. These new items are not pictured in the idea book, but can be viewed and purchased on my CTMH website here

The Cricut® Artfully Sent Collection is flying off the shelves! Some questions have arisen about the White Daisy cardstock that comes with the collection and what the best methods are for cutting it when using a Cricut® machine. In order to address those questions, we will begin including a printed message in every Cricut® Artfully Sent collection. Here is what the message will say:
 
      Thank you for purchasing the Cricut® Artfully Sent collection!
 
      The White Daisy cardstock included as part of this collection makes a great base for the beautiful cards you       will be creating using the Cricut® Artfully Sent cartridge from Close To My Heart. If you plan to cut one of our       designed card bases or other shapes from the White Daisy cardstock using your Cricut® machine, there are       a few things you should be aware of in order to get the best results.
 
      Our White Daisy cardstock is a bright white paper that has been milled, not dyed, which leaves the                     cardstock more fibrous than our other cardstocks. This can cause the paper to adhere more stubbornly to           the Cricut® cutting mats.
 
      When cutting the White Daisy cardstock, we encourage you to:

  • Use a less sticky mat, whether that is a mat that has seen a lot of use or the LightGrip mat available from Cricut®.
  • Change your blade pressure to medium.
  • Double-cut the image using the “repeat last” function.
      We know you are going to love using this unique and innovative collection to create and share heartfelt                 messages with the people who matter most in your life.

Please contact me if you have any further questions or want to order any of these products!
