ReplyDeleteMy scrapbooking fundamental are the Flip Flops...love em for adding more pics and journaling space for my pages. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy Scrapbooking fundamental are sponge daubers...I {{{love}}} to ink distress!!!
ReplyDeleteMy scrapbooking fundamental is my Sure Cut Deluxe Paper Trimmer! I love it's wide base, wire cut guide & the common cut sizes printed on the base. I use it cut photo mats, card bases & small pieces of paper for my Cricut cuts. I even use it to score my paper. Thanks for the chance to win. Good luck everyone.
ReplyDeleteMy scrapbooking fundamental is our top quality CTMH stamp pads. Even if I am not planning on stamping an image/sentiment on a project, I will still use the inks and a sponge dauber to distress my papers!
ReplyDeleteMy scrapbooking fundamental is the CTMH versamat. I love how easy it is to line up various papers and embellishments on a layout--no more crooked lines.
ReplyDeleteMy scrapbooking fundamental are my micro-tip scissors. I can't sit down to scrap without them! I even have 3 pair, just in case!
ReplyDeleteHow to decide?? I'm never without the paper trimmer and non-stick scissors but if I have to choose one it would be the trimmer. Everything begins with that.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the versamat! Perfection is easy with the gridlines and the foam mat is a must for stamping. I have four of them.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of those "well duh" comments but, my scrapbook fundamental is our card stock. I can't start a layout without it. It's the right weight, the perfect colors and cuts beautifully in a trimmer, Cricut or with a punch.
ReplyDeleteI cannot live without our white core coloured cardstock...I love it because I can easily distress the edges and leave them white as a unique border or ink them for a ragged look. I can also emboss a design and sand the cardstock for a fun spots of white look.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity, Jeannette. Love CTMH and all the CTMH family.
Just one thing when I have a room full of wonderful products!!! Well, I would have to say my paper trimmer. I use it every time I make cards or a scrapbook layout! Pretty boring answer, but could not do my crafting without it!! This Paper Fundamentals Basic Assortment would be so wonderful and easy to dress up with different CTMH colors. Lots of potential and particularly like the layout shown here and in the catalogue!
ReplyDeleteMy most favorite go-to item is our Liquid Glass. Love it! Great for quick adhesive properties, but best for always on hand, instant Bling! A few drops here and there or a covering of a Complement. It's the best.
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental scrapbooking item is the CTMH line of white core card stock. The versatility and variety of available colors can't be beat!
ReplyDeleteMy scrapbooking fundamental is always one of the exclusive CTMH Cricut Cartridges! I get my inspiration from flipping through the booklet, and once I've decided what I want to create, then all I have to do is grab a CTMH paper packet and matching inks, and I'm all set!! Thanks for the chance to win this Paper Fundamentals Basic Assortment, I love it!
ReplyDeleteLiquid glass is my go to item. Nothing glues on metal, roses, embellishments and embossed paper like liquid glass. I couldn't scrap without it.
ReplyDeleteMy paper crafting fundamental is our fabulous card stock! I use it for the base of every card, or layout, and love my 3 (almost 4) cricut collections to cut it with, and also our embossing folders to add dimension! I cannot WAIT to get the new Whimsey paper Fundamentals!! LOVE those fun colors!
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental go to item is the CTMH cricut cartridges - Art Philosophy is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteMy paper crafting fundamental is definitely the beautiful paper collections and all the amazing coordinating embellishments offered by Close to my Heart!!
ReplyDeleteTough to just pick one??? But if I had to it would be liquid glass. I use it on everything!!! Oh but I love the paper with a white core. The quality is amazing. Oh and I just started to play with the flip flaps so lovin those. Oh and all the cricut collections. See told you I couldn't pick just one - too much pressure. Lol
ReplyDeleteWow, I have so many must haves when I sit down to create....my micro-tip non stick scissors are usually on the top of my list, along with my versa mat, inks. Pretty well every thing I create has ink on it, whether it is stamped or for distressing. Love my CTMH products, I'd take them to bed with me, but I think my hubby might actually object to that one.
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental go to item is our exclusive CTMH Cricut Cartridges....so many possibilities! Thank you Jeanette for creating these wonderful wonderful items that compliment all our other great products!
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a tough one to choose just one; but I imagine those that know me know which one I can't live without...ink pads. I am one that HAS to ink distress EVERYTHING to give my project that little extra dimension..whether it's contrast or tone on tone. My second choice would be any type of BLING!!! Thanks for an EXCELLENT convention!
ReplyDeleteMy "fundamental" favorite is our Kraft cardstock. I use it as the base of many layouts and most cards. Ours is the perfect weight and cuts wonderfully in the Cricut. I also use it with our cartridges to cut frames titles, shapes...just about everything!
ReplyDeleteMy go to item is of course my paper trimmer because it is used on every layout, card project I do but my newest favourite is our Flip Flaps...I LOVE Flip Flaps, they allow me to get more pictures and stuff on my pages and when you have 3 wee ones, you need all the space you can get!
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental item is our awesome Cricut Cartridges! I use them EVERY time I craft!
ReplyDeleteI love our Stamp Scrubber. I love that I can just throw it in my bag and I am on my way. It is just one of my FUNdamentals in our line.
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental scrapping tool is the CTMH Cricut Cartridges. I have everything I need on the 3 (and now 4!) cartridges.They are the only ones I use!
ReplyDeleteMy must have tool is my paper trimmer...no my cricut explore! I can't decide! They're boy essential. Can't wait for the new cartridge!
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental scrapping tool is our liquid glass. I love that stuff! I use it on cards, scrapbooking, base & bling. Can't craft without it!!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many to choose from...but my all-time favorite go-to for scrapbooking is FLIP-FLAPS!!
ReplyDeleteI'm one of those people that can't take too many pictures, so I always have to weed through a bunch of any one event, and it's hard to narrow them down. Flip-flaps make my job so much easier, plus I feel that they make my scrapbooks more unique and interesting!! LOVE them! :-)
My basic fundamental has to be my paper trimmer . without it i would be lost . I love the wide base and easy to read markings . second would be our card stock , so many colours to choose from it sometimes takes me a while to choose just the right hue.
ReplyDeleteMy CTMH fundamentals are the How-To Patterns. They are what got me hooked on CTMH and I use them all the time. They help me display my photos beautifully and I use my products to their fullest potential.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteMy basic fundimental tool is my CTMH Paper pad. It is white wth grid lines- I can clean off stamps, straighten raw edges, test colors, test stamps, practice writing, even draw out my placement before committing to layout or card. It is also a good working tool for parties when you need guests to work on and has many other uses to many mention.
ReplyDeleteMy basic fundamental is our design books (Imagine, Cherish, etc). They're my go-to place for figuring out the best layout to showcase my photos. Even if I use the same layout over and over, changing the paper, stamps and embellishments (and orientation!) makes it look totally different!
ReplyDeleteOh man! Such a tough question, since I NEED so much of my CTMH supplies. I guess I would have to go with the cardstock and matching ink colors. I would be lost without them!
ReplyDeleteOh boy! There are so many awesome fundamentals but I would have to say our Versamat is one of my must-haves! From measuring to lining my papers up to using underneath my papers to get my stamped images just perfect, it is all around the perfect tool to have!!
ReplyDeleteneed it all but if i have to pick just one i'd have to say paper! lol!
ReplyDeleteDefinately our cardstock. Great range of colours that are perfect for any layout
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental has to be our gorgeous paper. Without it I would not need a Cricut, trimmer or scissors- LOL! I do love how every pattern and piece transports your creativity to an unknown destination. With the coordinating colors it makes it a bit easier to take risks with your art and tell the stories we were meant to share.
ReplyDeleteMy "fundamental", "go to" item is our white core card stock...I don't always start out planning to use any, but it always makes its way into my projects. Sometimes my projects end up with only card stock being the only paper I use....you can distress, alter and emboss it in so many ways! LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteIt has to be all my cutting implements!! Including my Cricut and Close to my Heart Cartridges. There isn't a layout or card I make that doesn't have an image from one of the CTMH Cartridges.
ReplyDeleteMy go to product would be the Make It from Your Heart collection. Whenever I need that spark of creativity they are a life saver. :)
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental is our white-core card stock!
ReplyDeleteMy go-to is definitely our fabulous paper packs! Perfectly coordinated, can be mixed and matched for added interest, and contain our amazing card stock! I also love that there is no waste because the paper label is also a cute zip strip!
ReplyDeleteMy go to fundamental item of choice is your fabulous B&T Duos papers..I love every single pattern you have come out with, your colors are always beautifully coordinated and they make my layouts..whether a card or a scrap page..pop and leave me wanting more and more, Thanks for suppying me with these fabulous collections as well as the new Fundamentals!!
ReplyDeletecathyplus5.blogspot.com
I would have to pick Jeanette's How-To books. Love them all! Add those to the Cricut Cartridges and I can look creative even when I'm not really feeling like I have a single creative thought in my brain!
ReplyDeleteI would have to say that my most fundamental scrapbooking item is my paper trimmer. good straight cuts are a priority for me.
ReplyDeleteI can not live without my Cricut and my CTMH Cricut cartridges. Can't wait for the new one!
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental item is any of CTMH's how to books, I use them every time I sit and paper craft!
ReplyDeleteSuch a hard question!!! LOL! I love it all, but if I had to choose it would be my CTMH Cricut cartridges!!!! They are my go to and can't live without cartridges! :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love Close To My Heart's Bonding Memories Glue. It is definitely my fundamental scrapbooking item. I can be confident that it will keep my layouts and cards together for years to come! I love how if you let it dry clear and use it to mask or reposition items. It is fabulous that Bonding Memories Glue is an amazing two in one product. :)
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental item for scrappin' is the CTMH Idea Book. It's my inspiration for starting new projects !!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great but tough question!!! I would have to say that I can't live without embellishments....which could be is so many forms...ribbon, stamps cutout & popped up, gems, etc....I love the dimension they add to my cards and scrapbook pages. Winning this paper would be great contribution for being a fairly new consultant.
ReplyDeleteMy go to fundamental product changes from time to time but currently it's the B & T duos paper packs. All that wonderful paper all in one perfect pack. It makes me giddy!
ReplyDeleteMy fundamentals: paper trimmer, micro tip scissors, tape runner, liquid glass, corner rounder, black archival ink stamp pad, sponge, my acrylix blocks, white daisy card stock. Everything else can change, but these items I must have!
ReplyDeleteI cannot live without Liquid Glass! It is my go to adhesive for embellishments of all types and sizes and I use it as an embellishment itself. It is irreplaceable!
ReplyDeleteLiquid Glass! love the stuff never make a project without it!!
ReplyDeleteMy CTMH Cricut cartridges! I leave them out next to my Cricut and use them all the time. I love playing with them to see what it all can do! And I love the coordinating stamp sets!
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental product is the CTMH cardstock my Cricut loves it and I get beautiful cuts every time I use it, plus the white core is perfect for distressing and achieving different looks on my layouts and cards.
ReplyDeleteMy fundamentals? My surecut deluxe paper trimmer, my versamat, and my stamp scrubber & spritz!
ReplyDeleteCTMH's white core card stock is my favorite. It makes a great base layer, can be distressed easily to show the white core, and the wide range of colors works well with all my photos.
ReplyDeleteThe paper trimmer is my absolute fundamental tool. Every time I sit down to craft I use it to cut my photo's, card, paper and decorations. Love it!
ReplyDeleteIf I have to choose just one product from the fabulous range from CTMH that we have now had access to in Australia (& NZ for a year), it is the Water Colour pencils! They can be used to add a pop of colour to my projects so easily and it is therapeutic to sit and colour sometimes!
ReplyDeleteLiquid Glass is INSTRUMENTAL
ReplyDeleteIt's my #1 FUNDAMENTAL
Why you ask? It's not COINCIDENTAL
They way it adhere's to everything is MONUMENTAL!
It's so hard to choose just one!! But, if I must my fundamental item I can't live without is PAPER ~ both the B&T Duos and CTMH cardstock. I LOVE PAPER :) because all my projects start with paper!!
ReplyDeleteMy scrapbooking fundamental product is the CTMH Cricut cartridges. I lovs the matching stamps and the wonderful section of cuts available. I can't wait for August to order the new cartridge!
ReplyDeleteMy scrapbooking and cardmaking fundamental product is the tombow mono adhesive, followed very, very closely by glue dots. Without them it would be rather challenging to create anything.
ReplyDeleteI love our CTMH inks- they are the best and I don't think I have very many scrapbook pages without our beautiful ink accenting them in some way :)
ReplyDeleteSo hard to choose just one but I love how versatile Liquid Glass is...
ReplyDeletePaper. The basis for every CTMH project I make!
ReplyDeleteThe Cricut carts! I adore the matching stamps, as they make these amazing carts even more awesome!!
ReplyDeleteHard to choose because I love my microtip scissors, inkpads, cricut cartridges, and all my stamps, But everytime I create something it is on my Versamat, where I can measure out and line things up....we are sooooo lucky to have so many great tools to have fun !!!!
ReplyDeleteTough one. I always use my paper cutter and my inks when I craft
ReplyDeleteI love My Craft 3 ring albums to do little brag books for my children
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely hard to choose one product as my "fundamental" but I love my micro tip scissors!! I rave about them at every event I host!!!
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental item is the Paper Piercer. It is just the perfect tool for picking up and placing small items, pushing paper around with a delicate touch, and of course creating small holes.
ReplyDeleteI would say that the CTMH papers are my fundamental. They are of such great quality and beautiful that they inspire so much creativity for me!
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental item is the CTMH paper pack. I'm seriously challenged in the areas of fashion and color coordination. I would never have started scrapbooking if I had just looked at papers at the local craft store. I can make pages that others say "Wow I could never do that!" I say "If I can, you can! Let me show you how!" This nerdy certified public accountant can now say CPA stands for Cut, Paste and Accessorize!
ReplyDeleteIf I must chose just one fundamental CTMH product, it would be the Workshops on the Go kits. I love how everything coordinates and all I need to add us ink and adhesive. They are perfect for busy scrapbookers!
ReplyDeleteOops, "is ink, not us ink"!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fundamentals are the wonderful collection of CTMH Cricut Cartridges! Virtually every card, layout, or altered item I create has a cut or two. It's such a quick and simple way to dress up a project!
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental scrapbook tool is my Cricut. I don't do sticker or stamped titles.
ReplyDeleteMy must have is all 3 Cricut cartridges. All of them have something that I can cut to make my cards and LO stepped up a notch!
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental tool is the Make It From Your Heart Books. I love how versatile and easy the patterns are to recreate.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool is the how to books.
ReplyDeleteThis is tough to just pick one! But my fundamental tools are the How To programs! It's the main reason I joined CTMH and was my ah-ha moment to the faster, simpler, easier way of scraping!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fundamental tool has been our CTMH flip flaps. I have been using them on a lot of layouts. It sure saves on doing multiple layouts for one event.
ReplyDeleteMy Scrapbooking Fundamental is the large selection of beautiful inks. They add so much to a page paired with all the lovely stamp sets.
ReplyDeleteI would have to say paper is a key fundamental for me. Being a paper crafter cannot happen without great paper!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fundamental would have to be paper. I love CTMH paper!!!
ReplyDeleteMy fundamentals would be my trimmer, paper and the scrapbooking and card programs!!
ReplyDeleteMy most fundamental item is my 12-inch trimmer! I remember when my mom first got me into scrapbooking I had to use her trimmer. I was a VERY poor college student and it took me 5 years before I could afford my own ($10 with a coupon!). I'm glad those days are behind me, but I still can't live without my trimmer!
ReplyDeleteMy most fundamental items are the Cricut Collections OMG !!! Use them in everything I do --- Love Love Love them!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the Cricut cartridges. I am making a mini album with Art Booking. I prepped cards for my card making group with Artiste and Art Philosophy. I did not use my Cricut for 4-5 years even though I had many cartridges. Close to My Heart cartridges are fabulous! The newest addition to make cards looks so fun. I can hardly wait to get it!
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental item is my Cricut machine and the CTMH cartridges. I don't know how I got along without it before.
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental item is the how to books by Jeanette. I love all of them
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental item for scrapbooking would be the perfect paper! And that is why I have so much of it!
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental items are the CTMH cricut cartridges esp artbooking! The layouts shapes and tags are so versatile!!!
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental item is my 12" trimmer. I would be so lost without it.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I have so many favorite things, I would have to say my fundamental items is my paper trimmer. It's definitely something I use for every layout! :-)
ReplyDeleteI have to have my paper trimmer for every single scrapbook page!!
ReplyDeleteI have to "type" that my most used fundamental product from Close to my Heart would be Liquid Glass! When I make fine cuts and need a good solid hold, I use my CTMH Liquid Glass...I just apply, do a quick wipe and place my cut...it stays in seconds and doesn't run or make my glued item wrinkle!! LOVE IT!!
ReplyDeleteI love all CTMH products! LOL! but if I have to pick... my fundamental items are cardstock, duo-papers, inks, stamps and assortments! THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteMy basic fundamental I couldn't live without is my CTMH Cricut Cartridges. I use them for every card and scrapbook page I create! I would be totally lost without them. I can't wait for the new Cricut Artfully Sent Collection to arrive. Thanks for the chance to win this fabulous paper in so many awesome colors. I love it!
ReplyDeleteMy basic fundamental I couldn't live without is Liquid Glass. It is so versatile and great for using on rolled flowers, adhering paper to the decor items and adding some shine onto projects. I am on my third bottle since starting last August in New Zealand.
ReplyDeleteBonding memories glue!
ReplyDeleteGotta have my CTMH ruler whenever I scrapbook. I'm constantly measuring ... you know what they say, "measure twice, cut once".
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental is definitely the Versamat...love that I can use it for measuring, cutting and flip it over for stamping. The numbers printed on it make it the best!!! Love my Versamat and almost every single one of my customers has bought one since seeing mine (I just joned in Feb)!
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental item would have to be the inks. I love to ink everything and stamping is just a bonus! I love how the ink, cardstock and papers all coordinate. Mixing and matching is so easy. My 11 yr old son likes to stamp but he really loves to clean the stamps! He will create a card or note for any and everyone just to use the stamps. My 14 yr old daughter loves to create. She loves all things purple so the new colors are her favorite. She can't wait for our order to get here so she can start making cards and layouts. CTMH has the products that make it easy for all ages to scrapbook, make cards or just be creative!
ReplyDeleteMy go to for scrap booking is the Artbooking Cricut cartridge. I love all of the CTMH carts, but Artbooking makes creating layouts so easy with the themed and proportional layouts. I primarily make cards and decor items so I love the ease of use of Artbooking.
ReplyDeleteMy scrapbooking fundamentals are the CTMH acrylic blocks for stamping. I am an acrylic block snob, ok? I admit it! There just are no other blocks on the market as great as the CTMH blocks. I love the finger grooves that make them easy to grasp AND keep your fingers out of the ink. I mean, I have no problem getting inky when necessary, but when you only want ink on your stamps and not on your fingers, you want to reach for the CTMH blocks! They rock! I couldn't live without them!
ReplyDeleteHow can I choose one Fundamental item for scrapbooking...especially CTMH products? I would have to have a top 3 pick...1. my trusty trimmer...can't cut a straight line to save myself! 2. Any CTMH paper..it's awesome!!!! and 3. My CTMH cricut cartridges...all of them! All of these make me happy and make my projects awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt has to be my paper trimmer. Every project begins with me cutting my paper!
ReplyDeletePatterned paper!!
ReplyDeleteCTMH cardstock - it works so great in the Cricut
ReplyDeleteI just love my CTMH Cricut cartridges! I don't know what I'd do without them!
ReplyDeleteMy must-have fundamental is the versamat. I'm happiest when I have my measuring, cutting, and stamping surfaces handy at all times!
ReplyDeleteI use my CTMH pattern books all the time and of course paper packs that are already coordinated for me so my pages look good.
ReplyDeleteWow, so tough to decide what my favorite is!!! I narrowed it down to three.....1) my CTMH Artbooking Cricut cartridge, I just love how versatile it is!! 2) liquid glass, I love adding a little shine to elements of my pages! 3) CTMH YouTube videos......I can always go there for inspiration!!!
ReplyDeletePaper Packs! It all starts with great paper :) ...then all the CTMH items: stamps, inks, tools, etc.
ReplyDeleteEverything!! How to choose between all the wonderful products CTMH carries? I guess I would have to go with the paper, because no matter what type of project I am working on - and whether I use micro-tip scissors, a paper trimmer, or one of the fabulous CTMH Cricut cartridges - it all uses paper! LOVE the Fundamentals! Those colors really POP on the black background!
ReplyDeleteMy Fundamental Basic is the versa-mat. I use it for my layouts to line up my photos.
ReplyDeleteAfter scrolling though all the comments, I was surprised that I didn't see the CTMH tweezers. After purchasing these AWESOME tweezers, I use them in every project I make, they are the BEST on the market as no others have such a tiny fine point to pick up itsy bitsy pieces. Can't start a project without those always next to my mat. I use them to place items, hold items for adding adhesive, and pulling off tiny bling embellishments to place on projects.
ReplyDeleteThe Picture My Life. Now that I have seen all the creative ways to use this product, I cannot wait to dive in and make all kinds of projects to share with my family, friends and customers. So beautiful and easy!
ReplyDeleteThe Idea Book/Annual Inspiration Book. The Idea book is fundamental to my scrapebooking projects. I use it to select which paper packs will go with my pictures and as a spring board for ideas. Now with the Annual Inspiration Book, I have access to all seasons and themes throughout the whole year.
ReplyDeleteI recently bought the versamat and use it all the time. Can't believe I didnt buy it sooner.
ReplyDeleteCTMH white core card stock- in all the great colors as it is the base from which I build on. It can be embossed, stamped, distressed, spritzed, transformed into a flower, etc. It's the base of every paper craft project I do.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool is the Cricut & the 3 (soon to be 4) CTMH cartridges are over 90% of what I use. I have about 50 others, but I use Art Philosophy, Artiste & Artbooking more than anything else as they have almost everything I could want or need.
I would have to say my Cricut! I love this machine and use it on a majority of my projects! Partnered with CTMH's cartridges makes it my most go-to item in my stash!
ReplyDeleteI would say paper is the one thing I start with. I love that we can coordinate inks, card stock and embellishments that match perfectly with the B&T paper!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite scrapbooking 'fun'-damental is the photo. When I use the photo as the building block, I can pick my color palette and embellishments. With all the coordinating CTMH products, it's easy!
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental is probably my paper trimmer - I use it all the time! Not glamorous, but essential!!
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental are the WOG I love working with the whole kit and embellishments - everything flows together. I tell my customers they give you the most bang for your buck. Love the WOG kits - that's one of the main reasons I became a consultant.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely my trimmer and non- stick scissors!!!
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental item is the paper, whether that be cardstock or patterned paper. What papercrsfter could be without paper? I love to play with the paper possibilities...the new fundamentals will expand the possibilities even more! Thanks for adding this line to CTMH...I love it!
ReplyDeleteAs far as tools go, and not consumables, I'd have to say my Versamat! I use it for stamping, when I am putting together a layout to ensure everything is straight, when I am sanding, it's just always my base when I am scrapbooking! I'd be lost without it!
ReplyDeleteI love all our great products, but if I have to chose it will be our paper! I love the way it looks after embossing, the designs just pop! With just a little light sanding they pop even more, so glad we now have embossing folders!
ReplyDeleteI'm a pretty paper addict so I'd have to say paper! I adore all of the amazing CTMH cricut cartridges too! The coordinating products that come with the bundles are genius! I love them!
ReplyDeleteI sure love the embossed papers, and I am really excited for the new colours coming soon!! Thanks for a fun contest!
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental CTMH product is the micro-tip non stick scissors. Those are so sharp, accurate and lightweight, overall a really great tool!
ReplyDeleteThe CTMH Desk Pad! It always covers my surface and has multiple uses: measuring, designing layouts and cards, taking notes, testing stamps and colors, etc. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI can't do anything without stamps!
ReplyDeleteLiquid Glass is my go to for so many things. I also can't paper craft without my paper trimmer and my collection of CTMH card stock.
ReplyDeleteCARDSTOCK!!! cardstock cardstock cardstock....i often times create and entire layout and realize that it has nothing but cardstock and my photos on it...love Love LOVE our cardstock
ReplyDeleteCTMH is new to me and I am just loving stamping on my scrapbook pages. So, my new fav would have to be STAMPS!
ReplyDeleteI could not live without my Cricut cutter and my Cricut Explore. My Cricut Cutter is always at the heart of my table. I use it more than anything I have. My Cricut Explore is my second Cricut machine and with it's ease of use and the computer designing capabiliies I have a blast creating all kinds of NEW and fun items. I would really like a set of the new cardstock to create all kinds of scrapbook pages and cards. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteMy tape runner! If I don't have that I can't scrapbook!
ReplyDeleteSince I've been a scrapbooker since CTMH started its line, I have to say my basic fundamental product would be ALBUMS! I love the quality! I recently have been on an organization kick and just filled 4 CTMH albums with many memories in chronological order. I love the quality and expandability of these albums! Being able to have them embossed with Como Family Through the Years, Vol. I, II, etc. on the spine, has made me a very happy girl! Thank you Jeanette for your vision and style in providing these beautiful books. I absolutely LOVE them! Can you bring back the leather ones? :)
ReplyDeleteI love all the wonderful CTMH products, but if I have to choose one then it would be our paper packs. I love how everything coordinates and comes together perfectly!
ReplyDeleteFor me it's all about the paper! I love {{ love}} CTMH's White Core cardstock & the always, in all ways, exciting Background & Texture paper. That's my jumping off point.
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental would be the CTMH paper packages. I love that I have coordinating B&T along with amazing cardstock and when I open that package and pull it all out my mind races. Oh what beautiful scrapbook pages this would make, oh what beautiful cards this would make, oh what beautiful home décor pieces, what can I do with the cricut cartridges, and the ideas go on and on. I find myself dreaming of the papers and I just love all the ones in this new Annual Inspirations Idea Book.

ReplyDeleteI would say my favorite fundamentals are the paper packets and the coordinating complements and embellishments. I love they way they are already color coordinated and all I have to do is start designing my cards. I am new at this and it has really been helpful for me.
ReplyDeleteMy scrapbooking fundamental product that I can't live without is the versamat. That tool helps me in so many ways, from using it as a ruler to align things perfectly on my products, to the perfect surface for stamping on. It's a must have tool.
ReplyDeleteI honestly sat here and tried to pick a fundamental product that I consider my favorite but I could not. Each product, no matter how small or large, plays a vital and important role, in allowing me and my customers to bring out our creativity. I know I have to pick one, but honestly, they are all important in my eyes. This is one reason why, I became a consultant. It wasn't just one product that caught my attention; it was all of them. I loved watching how each product played a role that allowed me to create the works of art that I have. I love sharing all the products with my customers, family, and friends. :) Remember Make It From Your Heart!!
ReplyDeleteI love it all and it's hard to choose.. VersaMat I cant live without,makes aligning layouts a breeze when using the how to books which is another fundamental product I can't live without.
ReplyDeleteNon-Stick Scissors are the basis of all crafting. Just can't do it without the wonderful scissors. Scissors start all projects!!
ReplyDeleteAll 3 of my CTMH Cricut cartridges!
ReplyDeleteMy scrapbooking fundamental product(s) that I can't live without are the Workshops on the Go! I always learn a new technique from each one, they keep my scrapbooks fresh with inventive layouts, and they spark my creativity in amazing ways!
ReplyDeleteMy paper trimmer, believe it or not. I cannot scrapbook without it. I cannot cut a straight line and I'm a bit of a perfectionist. It really annoys me to not have the right tools on hand when creating a project. Recently I had to create 2 memory boards for 2 different funerals...I was not "home" with my tools/supplies. It was then that I learned I could not stand to create without my paper trimmer. I HAVE to HAVE it. ;)
ReplyDeletePaper. Gotta have it! Love that CTMH coordinates it all. Could not scrap without it. <3
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental are our How to Books! They are always inspiring and offer me so many options for layouts!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fundamentals are our How To Books. They are full of inspiration for both layouts and card making. They get my ideas flowing....then it's all the other fabulous products CTMH offers to create those ideas with.
ReplyDeleteIt's extremely hard to choose just one fundamental item. But I think my number one would have to be our sponge. I love to distress my projects or even just add an extra pop of color and 'sponging' our signature inks onto the paper allows me to do just that.
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental must have is definitely CTMH's amazing cardstock. It's the basis for all my projects and creations! :)
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental must have is CMTH's ink pads. I love to stamp and distress the edges of almost everything I make.
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental would have to be paper- I love paper and find so much inspiration in paper
ReplyDeleteHands down, my fundamental item is Close to My Heart's exceptional grade cardstock and background and texture paper. As a die hard card maker, I had no desire to make scrapbook pages until DOTS turned over to CTMH and introduced me to the craft. At a new catalog celebration some consultants demonstrated the ease of using the coordinating papers and elements. Although I have tried other brands, kits, gone to classes, etc. I have given away or sold it all. Seriously, if you look in my albums, that's all I have used. My current consultant recently had a class where we "scrapped our stash" and used the newer wood grain paper with older lines, some as far back as 2003!) Thank you Jeanette for always bringing in new items, but keeping the old faithful fundamentals!
ReplyDeleteMy Versamat goes to every paper craft event with me along with my 3 CTMH Cricut cartridges!
ReplyDeleteFor me, it would have to be the fabulous My Acrylix stamps. I love the quality and flexibility and the fact that they're clear makes it so much easier for positioning and layering stamped images. I'm still finding new techniques to use with these versatile stamps - and blocks!
ReplyDeleteUsing anything CTMH is a fundamental part of my papercrafting, but I don't know what I'd do without the Surecut Deluxe Paper Trimmer! I know I'm going to get a perfect cut every time.
ReplyDeleteMy papercrafting fundamental is our CTMH stamps and inkpads.

I have to say its a close tie between the fabulous SureCut paper trimmer and our corner punch! The trimmer is one of the best with the guide wire. Cant live without it!
ReplyDeleteI can't live without my Bonding Memories glue. LOVE it!!!
ReplyDeletegotta love my paper!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite fundamental would have to be the ideas books....so many possibilities!
ReplyDeleteMy must have fundamental is the CTMH paper pad. Everything I work on starts with that pad! Doodle, notes, measurements, testing out colors. using as scrap paper. I'd be lost without those gridlines!
ReplyDeleteMy first go to for CTMH fundamental products would be the papers, white core cardstock and B&T papers to begin creating. From there the paper trimmer, inks, then embellishments. The papers are my first inspiration and go from there. Thanks for the opportunity to win. Hope you are doing well Jeanette....
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fundamental would have to be the ideas books! It makes for stress free scrapbooking!
ReplyDeleteI would have to say it is my sponge dauber and CTMH distress ink, I LOVE to distress my projects!
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental item is CTMH paper. The choice of beautiful colors, white-core cardstock and gorgeous pattern paper make any project better.
ReplyDelete"All business in the front, party in the back"! {Ha,Ha!!} I was a little in shock when CTMH dropped the "block" and introduced the MyAcrylix stamps. I quickly fell in love with them and find that they are simply the best on the market!
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental item would be the idea books. I love them. They are my go to source whether I am making a layout or a card - love them!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the versa mat! I use two when I scrapbook so I can keep my lines straight on double layouts. I also find it handy during my card making and usually don't need to pull out a ruler. The versa mat is also compact enough to carry to crops.....I honestly can't imagine working without one anymore.
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental item would be my paper trimmer. Can't start without it!
ReplyDeleteSo many have said it already but I really need my paper trimmer. I need the sense of accuracy it provides when adding all the artwork to my pages! ~Debbie Tuggle
ReplyDeleteMy paper crafting fundamental item would be our How-To books. If I am stumped and just don't know which direction to take a project, I can flip through one of these awesome books and the perfect one just JUMPS right out at me! It works every time! Can't scrap without them!
ReplyDeleteMy scrapbooking fundamental item has got to be the micro-tip scissors. They are able to cut into the smallest areas with ease. I am sure to have them with me whenever I am scrapbooking.
ReplyDeleteMy scrapbooking fundamental item has got to be my 3 CTMH Cricut cartridges . I have and LOVE all 3 of them and I can't wait for the 4th. one to be available for purchase!! I can't imagine scrapbooking or card making without these Fabulous Cricut Cartridges.
ReplyDeleteMy scrapbooking fundamental item is definitely my black journaling pen! I love adding that small extra detail around my edges with faux stitch marks or jotting down the date of an event on a journaling strip!
ReplyDeleteMy most fundamental item from CTMH are the non stick micro tip scissors. There is nothing more frustrating than to use a pair of dull scissors. Everyone in my home knows that they are MY scissors and don't get caught using them!! :)
ReplyDeleteMy most fundamental item from CTMH is my Cricut cartridge. Combining the expertise of CTMH and Cricut into exclusively available cartridges is a match made in Heaven!! I love the versatility, ease of use, and stamp-matching layouts to create one-of-a-kind masterpieces. Thank you CTMH!
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental items are the ctmh cartridges, I have a library of 135 cartridges and since I've gotten the 3 from ctmh I hardly use my others. They have so many of the elements that I use. Now I cant wait to get the new artfully sent one.
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental item is PAPER. You can never have too much. I belive it is the foundation on which my layout is build.
ReplyDeleteMy fundamental item is PAPER and more paper. The colorful cardstock and Beautiful paper packets for each new season.
ReplyDeleteI can't live without my ruler! My style is linear (bordering on OCD). Everything MUST line up!
ReplyDeleteI can't live without my CMTH My Reflections paper packs! They are why I began my love for CTMH! They are coordinated and there is no searching for a matching paper! You can't go wrong when you combine the papers!
ReplyDeleteMy most fundamental item from CTMH is the Non-Stick Micro -Tip Scissors. They are the best scissors I have ever used. I love how well they cut the 3-D foam tape and mini glue dots which I use on almost every layout I create. The scissors cut right through the stickiness with ease. They are an essential item for every scrapbooker!
ReplyDeleteToo many to choose from, but I guess I would have to pick the sponge daubers and black archival ink!
