Untitled design (10)

It’s time to cut, emboss and create! The all-new Die-Cutting & Embossing System is officially available, giving you a whole new way to create custom 12-inch borders, titles, icons, alphabets and textured details for your projects. And for the first 5 days, get 15% off the Starter Set Bundle and 25% off the Decorative Set Bundle!

This is just the beginning: The system is designed to build, expand and collect, with more designs coming throughout the rest of this year and beyond. Start your collection with today’s designs, add the
highly recommended Dual-Tip Die-Cutting Tool and choose the storage solutions you’ll want as your collection grows. Then keep adding your favorites as new designs arrive — you may just want to collect them all!

Shopping is easy, too! Find everything in one place under Adhesives, Tools & Storage > Die-Cutting & Embossing System. Plus, look for the Build-A-Bundle option on select products to make building your system even simpler. You’ll be prompted to easily add everything you might want — from bundles and individual metal dies and embossing folders to add-on tools and storage.

Linda Hartzell


During my crop last week I hosted a new-to-scrapbooking one-on-one Beginner Class with a new customer who bought and worked on a Global Getaway Album Kit. We talked about the Advisor Join, and that night she became an Advisor! I've hosted six Beginner Classes this year and all of the people from the three one-on-one classes have eventually joined my team. It's been instructive and delightful!”

Beginner Class “Win” Spotlight


We want to celebrate with you! To partake in the Beginner Class “Win” Challenge, post a photo of your Beginner Class, and let us know what your “win” was for that event, including the hashtag #BeginnerClassWin in the
CM Collective Business Chat. We will pick 3 winners each month who will receive that quarter's Simple Page Kit Bundle.

Joy Lane

“I taught a Beginner Class on May 26 using Simple Page Kits while on vacation visiting family. The guests were two nieces, their Mom (my sister-in-law) and one of my sons who probably wouldn't have joined in if we weren't on vacation and together with his cousins. My SIL wanted a smaller album so I gave her a Horizontal Pocket Page and showed her how to cut apart her SPK to fit the pockets. Everyone enjoyed themselves and I had my highest sales for a Beginner Class with both nieces choosing Global Getaway Album Kits and my SIL ordering a Scrap Journal + pocket pages. Their order arrived today so I was able to explain how to use the Kits and they were thrilled with their free Tote Bags, too. The biggest win is that the women are finally all excited to create their own albums after many attempts over the years to persuade them to try it. Switching my verbiage from 'scrapbook' to 'album' seemed to make a difference since they have used pocket-style albums before. Thanks Home Office for making it simpler to teach beginners with SPKs to transition into becoming album makers! My nieces were happy to do unboxing reels for me, too!
