Close to My Heart

[lovinpaper]

I watched a video letting everyone know that CTMH Scrapbooking Company is closing their doors in June? I may have the date wrong but it is in a few months. I do not scrapbook but have seen their ads in magazines and was always impressed. The person said they have been in business for 40 years! It is sad to see another store closing.

One of my closest friends is a CTMH maker. My understanding is that SU! is purchasing the rights to some of their exclusive products (I sure hope that includes glitter pens) and will make an offer to makers to become Stampin' Up reps for a nominal fee, keeping CTMH teams in place. If that is true, it's an amazing offer from SU! and a way to keep creative teams, friends, and customers in place. SU! can gain 100,000 new sales consultants in one fell swoop.

SO sad to see them go....

I've had the same CTMH demo for over 30 years and she is wonderful.

I still even have some their old catalogs from when they were called "DOTS". 😊

I better stock up on their "Bitty Sparkles" embellishments - they're my favorite and my demo always laughs when I order 10 packs at a time.

I was sad when I heard this. I really like their papers and card kits! Great stuff for scrapping too

Does anyone have a link to the video that from Stampin Up posted about CTMH closing? I read that it was posted by their CEO Sara (Douglass?)

This video you are talking about was sent to Demonstrators in a private video. It did not say any more than what is in this thread. She said they are closing and SU is going to try to obtain some of their product line and that she thinks SU could be a good place for their Makers to stay in a community. Very board information. I am sure we will learn more as their winddown begins.

June 30th is their closing date. I saw someone's video on you tube discussing it. Their brand new spring catalog just came out March 1st

30 June is the closing date but all Makers will be done 30 April. If you order any clear out items after that, it will be from CTMH direct.
