The Inking System Flyer and the website have been updated to reflect this change.

  • Training Update: We’re making it even easier to access your training! All Advisor courses will now live inside the CM Collective Community, so you won’t see “My Courses” on the Advisor HQ page moving forward. If you haven’t joined the CM Collective yet, now’s a great time — all new and existing courses will be available there in one easy-to-find spot.

Why We Made Spring Equinox

If you’ve ever struggled with sharing upcoming launches with your customers, this is for YOU! Let’s dive into WHY you and your customers are going to want (and maybe need!) the Spring Equinox collection.

Why your customers will want it:

  • A fresh take on spring — intentionally different from recent launches.
  • A darker, moodier palette that brings new energy to seasonal stories.
  • Deviates from typical spring florals, featuring symbols of renewal, light, and growth, layered with rich textures and whimsical illustrations.
  • The perfect complement to their spring crafting stash without feeling like “more of the same.”

As an Advisor, your “why”:

  • Gives you something new to talk about — no other CM spring collection is like it.
  • Complements the spring inventory you already have instead of competing with it — so you can sell across collections.
  • It’s a confidence boost — you can say, “You haven’t seen spring like this before,” and mean it.
