MARCH CAMPAIGN SPECIAL

Cut It Out!

If you have been holding off getting those thin cuts, metal dies that help you quickly and easily cut shapes for embellishing your cards and scrapbook pages, then now is the time to consider getting them while they are on sale!!

During March, Close To My Heart will offer Thin Cuts and Thin Cut Bundles at 25% off!  Maybe you already have the stamp set, but didn't get the thin cuts...Or you've been wanting to get some of the titles, sentiments and shapes. You can purchase the thin cuts separately, or get them in a bundle with the coordinating stamp set.  Either way, these are great prices!  The idea of thin cuts is that you can easily cut intricate shapes for your stamps with a die instead of trimming them out by hand.  We have 18 thin cuts available; these are from the Annual Inspirations and Seasonal Expressions 1 catalogs.

Purchase total before shipping and tax:

 

$30 - Choose Sequins or Dots for FREE ($3.95 value)

 

 

$60 - Choose Blush Ribbon or Gold Shimmer Brush ($4.95 value)

 

$90 - Your choice of any NEW Complements ($6.95 value)

 

 

(Just 1 of 8 Complements)

 

 

Please give me your FREE gift choice when placing your order.  When the new Seasonal Expressions and/or Annual Inspirations idea books go live, then the FREE gift choice will change to different items, and I will inform you at those times.

 

 

 

 

Happy Crafting!
