Christmas Card Club 2012

Who is thinking about Christmas yet?! Well, I am! Each year in early December, I aspire to send handmade Christmas cards to all of my family and friends. Without a doubt, I never succeed! Making beautiful hand crafted cards can be time consuming and December is usually crazy enough as it is. So, this year I am trying a new approach. I am going to start making my Christmas cards in July and I would love you all to join me! I will be starting a Christmas card club with our first meeting at the end of July. We will meet the 4th Monday of each month in July, August, September, October and November. At each meeting, we will create 8 beautiful Christmas cards. This will give you a total of 40 cards handmade by you and ready to be mailed out in early December! Following are the nitty gritty details:

 
What you will receive: materials and instruction to complete 8 handmade Christmas cards and 8 coordinating envelopes 
When: First Monday of each month
Where: My house on Vermontstrasse on Patch; Bldg 2504, Apt B2
Cost: $12 a month which totals $60 for five months OR $50 for five months when you pay upfront

RSVP: by the second Monday of the month. This is essential as I sometimes need to order extra supplies for a class. I will send out a reminder email each month. 

Our first meeting will be on Monday, July 23. That means I need to know if you plan to join us by Monday, July 9. If this sounds like something you are interested in, please let me know!

Autumn and Christmas Designer Series Paper Club

If you are in love with all of our Designer Series Paper or if you'd simply like to sample a little of each, this is the perfect opportunity for you! In a paper club, you pay a fraction of the cost of the designer series paper packs and receive 6x6 sheets rather than 12x12. For this club, I am going to be offering Autumn and Christmas DSP. The paper that will be included is Autumn Meadows, Autumn Traditions, Christmas Cocoa, Holiday Lounge and Make Merry. The cost of $15 includes 60 sheets with front and back designs and priority shipping to you.

What is a Rotating Hostess Club?
A Rotating Hostess Club is a group of women who get together once a month at a set time and day.

What will occur at each meeting?
At each meeting there will be light snacks, refreshments, plenty of conversation and a lot of crafting! As a demonstrator, I will be providing two free make and take projects. These projects will be completed using Stampin' Up exclusive products and will feature a new technique. Each month, I will be teaching the club a new trend and/or technique in the crafting world.

What will I receive as a member of a Rotating Hostess Club?
As a member of a Rotating Hostess Club, you will:

• Receive at least two free make and take projects each month.
  
• Learn new and exciting techniques to make your cards, scrapbook pages and other crafts stand out exceptionally.
  
• Meet new friends!
• Receive a free Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog. (a $9.95 value!)
• Be guaranteed to receive at least $15 of free Stampin' Up! merchandise and an exclusive Stampin' Up! hostess stamp set when it is your month to host.
• Have at least one girls night out each month!
• Receive sneak peeks of Stampin' Up! products and promotions

What are my responsibilities when it is my month to be a hostess?
When it is your month to be hostess, you are only required to provide light snacks. The meeting may or may not be held in your home. This is up to each individual. If you choose not to hold it in your home, it will be in my home. When it is your month to be hostess, you will receive hostess benefits for that month's meeting.

What does it cost to join a Rotating Hostess Club?
Joining a Rotating Hostess Club is essentially free. However, there is a commitment to purchase a minimum amount of Stampin' Up! products each month. The minimum purchase requirement is dependent on the amount of members in the club. In order to receive hostess benefits, sales must total $150. If there are six members in the club, each member would be required to purchase $25 of merchandise. If there are eight members in the club, each member would then only be required to purchase $18.75 of merchandise. Because of our limited time here in Rhode Island, there is only time for eight meetings before we all move on! If more than eight people are interested, I can hold two separate clubs.

When and where will the first meeting be?
I would like to hold the first meeting in October. Because it is the first meeting, I will be more than happy to hold it in my home. If you are interested in joining some time other than October, please let me know!
