Sign Up and Get a FREE Cricut Collection in April!

When you sign up as a Consultant in the month of April, you'll receive one of our incredible Cricut Collections absolutely FREE!! 

 

 That's a $99 value!   Our new Consultant starter kit (shown below) is only $99 (plus tax and shipping) with over $300 of products and business tools included in it.   You can sign up on my website, http://christina.ctmh.com (click on "What We Do" and then on "Be a Consultant").   This special starts April 1st, and I encourage you to sign up early so that you can select the Cricut Collection that you want.

 

 

Want to know a few things about becoming a Consultant?   Here's some general info:

 

New Consultants earn 22% commission on all products that they purchase (in other words, you get a 22% discount off the retail price).  You have the opportunity to earn even more based on your monthly sales.  For example, if you sell $400 in a month, you'll also earn $25 in free product credit.  If you're selling $1,000 per month, you earn 30% commission, plus another $75 in product credit (great for stocking the supplies you need).  If you decide to grow your business and become a team leader, you'll also earn additional commissions off any team members under you. 

 

We have a wonderful Straight to the Top Program for new Consultants. . .sell $1,200 in your first 90 days and you get your $99 kit cost reimbursed to you!

 

To remain active with the company, Consultants are required to maintain $300 in sales per quarter.  All of your own purchases also count toward this minimum, so if you're a hobbyist who buys a lot of product for yourself, the retail cost of your purchases (before your discount) will count toward your minimums.

 

There are lots of ways that you can work your business--online, through home parties, by conducting workshops or creative classes, working crops and craft shows, or just by passing catalogs around to your stamping and scrapbooking buddies and doing catalog parties. 

 

If you have additional questions, just ask! 

 

So, back to the special. . .when you sign up in April, you can select one of our three Cricut Collections, each with over 700 unique images.  Each collection comes with THREE stamp sets and three sets of coordinating chipboard images.

 

 

Artbooking--our newest cartridge with ENDLESS possibilities.  With Artbooking, you can make entire two-page layouts and mini albums. Plus, you'll find oodles of overlays and stand-alone images that you can use on your cards and other projects.  If you want to see some cool videos on Artbooking, just scroll down my blog and look at past posts (or visit my Facebook page at www.facebook.com/christinactmh)

 

 

 

If you like to make 3D items, you'll fall in love Artiste.   This cartridge has SO many box patterns, purse patterns, 3D flowers, cupcake holders, party favors, etc.  And, even if you're not into 3D items, you'll find plenty of other images that you can use on your cards and layouts.

 

 

 

Art Philosophy is the FIRST Cricut Collection that Close to My Heart created, and I consider it the "anchor" cartridge.  It has over 700 images--every basic shape that you'd probably ever need!  Even though I love the interesting things that Artbooking and Artiste can do, I always come back to my Art Philosophy cartridge for the many basic shapes that I need. 

 

No matter which one you choose, you can't go wrong with our Close to My Heart Cricut Collections. . .and why not get one FREE?

 

March Club Projects

I've got some fun and oh-so-cute things planned for March--you won't want to miss our spring creations with the Lollydoodle paper pack!  Below is a photo of the layout we'll be doing.   And, below that, you'll see two cards and an owl box that our card makers will be making.  The owl box was designed by my fellow team member, Gwen Fillinger. . .when my club gals saw it, they said, "we have to make that!"  Your wish is my command!

 

If you'd like to join us for club on March 17th (10 a.m. or 6:30 p.m.), let me know as soon as possible.  Participants need to place a $20 minimum order when they attend class.  Be sure to tell me if you prefer to make the layout or the cards and box.

 

March Stamp of the Month

We have a charming Stamp of the Month for March 2014!  If you watched a lot of Olympic coverage (like we did at my house), you may have seen a story about how these Russian nesting dolls are made. . .very cool!  You can purchase this stamp set for only $5 with a $50 purchase in March. . .or purchase it for $17.95 with no additional purchase required.  To order, visit my website at http://christina.ctmh.com

 

The Whole Kit and Caboodle

Ivy Lane Card Kit Class--Thursday, Feb. 27th

 

Sign up now for my Ivy Lane Card Kit Class on Thursday, Feb. 27th.  Your kit includes all the materials to make 15 cards (five each of three designs), plus an ENTIRE roll of Gold Shimmer Trim (not available in the regular catalog), sequin embellishments AND an adorable stamp set, all for $24.95 (plus shipping and tax--about $29).  If you'd like to attend the workshop, please let me know by Thursday, Feb. 20th.

 

Crazy for Base and Bling!

I have to admit that I am absolutely CRAZY about our new Base & Bling pendant pieces.  I could seriously sit around and make these necklaces ALL DAY LONG.  So, here's how it works:  you choose your chain (Antique Gold or Antique Silver) and your matching pendant (square or round); you pick out an image to put in your pendant (we've got over 120 to pick from--the "storyteller" images are shown below); you stick your image in the pendant (you may have to trim if you're using a circle pendant), add a blob of Liquid Glass, then add a glass cover (use a damp rag to immediately wipe off any Liquid Glass that squirts out); let it dry and add the charms of your choice.  THAT'S IT.  It takes longer to pick out your image and charms than it does to put together a necklace!

 

So, you can buy the components for these necklaces at VERY affordable prices through my website:  http://christina.ctmh.com or, if you're local, you can attend one of my "jewelry bar" parties and make your necklace for only $13 (yes, I'm serious)!  What a great gift idea these would be. . .and what a fun mother/daughter activity this would be.  And, hey, these necklaces are even hip with the teens!

 

 

 

 

February Workshop Club--Ivy Lane Layout and Cards

If you'd like to come join us for February workshop club, let me know.  We meet on Monday, February 17th, at 10 a.m. or 6:30 pm.  This month, we'll be making this layout with the Ivy Lane paper pack. Attendees are required to place a $20 minimum order with no additional fees for your workshop materials.

 

 

Below are the cards that I'm thinking about doing with our card makers this month, though I reserve the right to change my mind at the last moment!!!  We'll definitely do some things with the Ivy Lane paper, since it's our "theme" for the month, but I'd like to sneak in that adorable Stamp of the Month as well.
