Cardmaker Collective Club: July 2023

Featuring the Horse & Sleigh Bundle

Get ready for another month of beautiful cards…with my Cardmaker Collective Club, July 2023! The July Club Kit features the Horse & Sleigh Bundle. Here is what you will receive in your July Club Kit:

  • Card kits (8 total, 2 each of 4 different designs, see sneak peek above!).
  • Cardmaking supplies (the consumable type, valued at @$22+, so use them up!).
  • Private video assembly tutorials and PDF card recipes (so easy to put together!).
  • Opportunity to purchase the featured bundle at 16% savings (save money, ask me how).

July Consumable Products

Your consumable items include:

  • A half pack of the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP (6 x 6″)
  • Full bolt of Lost Lagoon Bordered Ribbon
  • Full pack of Festive Pearls

Order The Featured Bundle & Save

Since I will not be stamping for you using the Horse & Sleigh Stamp Set, or
die cutting for you with the Horse & Sleigh Dies, you may want your
own set! (Of course, these cards will look amazing using whatever stamps, dies
or punches you have on hand too.)

After you sign up for the July Club Kit, I will contact you to see if you
would like the featured bundle at the catalog price (you save… I
am paying the tax and shipping!). You just need to let me know if you would like to
add this item to your July Club Kit and you will receive a separate invoice for the Horse & Sleigh Bundle.

Already own this bundle? Perfect! Just get the Cardmaker Collective Club Kit and you will have everything you need to make these cards per the included instructions.

Don’t Delay On The July Kit

The deadline to start your subscription to the Cardmaker Collective Club and get the July Club Kit is July 15, 2023. If you sign up after June 15th, you will be receiving the August Club Kit.

This is an auto-renew club, your card will be charged $39.95 every month on or around the same date that you first sign up. But, you have the option to cancel you membership at any time. Try it once, or keep receiving the kits!

If you continue to receive kits monthly, after 6 consecutive kits, I am gifting you with a $25 reward certificate, good on any current merchandise in my online Stampin’ Up! store. That is your club benefit!

And with sneak peeks of the featured bundle and card designs (via email and social media), there is no question of whether or not you will like the card kit being offered. The design is yours to make…join the Cardmaking Collective Club when the time is right for you!

So Refreshing Card Class

So Refreshing Card Class

So Refreshing Bundle By Stampin’ Up!

Welcome to your So Refreshing Card Class! This week, I am using the So Refreshing Bundle by Stampin’ Up!. This bundle is a brand new release in the 2023-2024 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. I will be sharing these sweet cards and giving you how-to assemble tips during my live cardmaking class on Monday, July 3, at 8pm EST on The Maine Stamper FaceBook page.

Did you know that when you purchase a bundle, you automatically save 10%? When in doubt, buy the bundle. Nothing is more irritating than buying just the stamps or just the punch (or dies) and going back later to purchase the other half of the bundle.

Want to see another card class featuring some bright and fun colors with items in the 2023-2024 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog? Click here.

The So Refreshing Bundle

The So Refreshing Bundle by Stampin’ Up! features the So Refreshing Stamp Set and the So Refreshing Dies. As mentioned earlier, by ordering the bundle (both stamp and punch together, item #161347) you will save 10%.

Now, you don’t have to buy both items. You could buy just the stamp set (item #161344) or just the dies (item #161346). But they go together, and you will be able to do so much more when you purchase both. You will probably want the set!

Live Card Making Class On Monday

Every Monday at 8pm EST, I am live with your weekly card making class on my FaceBook page, The Maine Stamper. I create 3 beautiful cards and share tips and techniques along the way. This class serves as your tutorial when you receive your FREE card kits in the mail and need to put them together.

Yes, FREE. You will receive 2 each of 3 card designs (for a total of 6 card kits!) when you place an order of $35+ (before tax and shipping) in my online stamping store using Host Code DTRUNXPE thru July 7, 2023. I will mail the card kits on the Monday following the live class.

Want more details about what is in these kits? Check my blog post here for more info.

Get A Bonus Gift For FREE Too!

When you bump your order to $50 (before tax and shipping), I will send you the card kits AND a FREE Embellishment, Opaque Ovals, just like I used on my cards. You will have plenty left over to use on your projects for days to come.

These adhesive backed embellishments come in the following colors: Azure Afternoon, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly and Pecan Pie.

Your Card Class From ME Awaits

I hope you enjoy the So Refreshing Card Class with my FaceBook Live Event on Monday, July 3 at 8pm EST. Please join me to see how easy it is to put your card kits together. If you miss the live, catch the replay on FaceBook or my YouTube Channel, The Maine Stamper.

I look forward to getting your weekly card kits from Maine in the mail to you. And I know you will be looking forward to receiving them and creating gorgeous works of paper crafted art!
