Very Merry Christmas Blog Hop with my Advent Calendar

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! We will be featuring October’s SOTM, “Very Merry Christmas” which is  a set of 11 stamps. If you have come here from Lori’s Fabulous Blog, you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way all around. If you get lost along the way, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants here on Helen’s blog.
This stamp set is $17.95 or just $5 with a $50 purchase.  If you are coming to one of my holiday workshops in November, let me know!  Pre-pay for your workshop in October and a portion of your workshop fee will count towards the $50 needed to get the discount.

Some embellishments and the storage cubby will be shipped directly from CTMH so you will receive 2 shipments. You will receive your items 7-14 days after you place your order.

Equipped DIYer or Consultant Kit

This kit is designed for fellow Consultants or customers who own both Art Philosophy & Artiste Cricut Bundles from Close to My Heart.  You must own both of these two cartridges in order to cut with the Cricut Craft Room File.  The file is a accessory, not a replacement for the Cricut Cartridges themselves.
You can do this one of 3 ways:

1. Join my team!  For just $49 you can become a CTMH consultant!  You get over $130 in materials and get great support and training as well as friends that are out of this world!
2. Purchase $24 from my website and join the October gathering that mentions “Free Gift.” Then email me to request the electronic kit.   Shop now.  The My Creations Cubby, Harvest Baker’s Twine Assortment and Sparkles Clear Assortment is just $24.85.  Also take a look at the "While Supplies Last Section."
3. Purchase a mini-kit that includes just the stamped items for $9.  (It’s only the stamped items (in case you don’t have all the stamp sets).  You will still need to purchase and cut the majority of the materials.)
   Purchase the DIY kit here:
   
   

   For Electronic Instructions & Cricut Craft Room File & More

   Workshop Instructions $9.00 USD

   

This is what the Mini Kit consists of.  It's simple and keeps you from having to purchase stamp sets you don't have as well.

Why not free?  I have invested countless hours designing this kit.  I value my time and YOUR time.  I’m willing to share my hours of work for just a small fee.

In this kit you will receive: 

1. Cricut Craft Room file that’s ready to cut using a Cricut Expression or Expression 2.  It can be cut on a 6” Cricut but you will have to modify the file yourself.
2. Photo for advertising
3. Step by Step Instructions to create and assemble
4. Release to teach this project at a workshop and distribute printed copies of the instructions to workshop attendees.
5. You are not granted permission to redistribute the Cricut Craft Room file or the Workshop guide.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks!
