Cricut Club Corner

What's New?

 

Last month, we welcomed Barb Bird as our Cricut Club Coordinator!  Barb has some great ideas for our Club, and we hope you'll join us at our next Club Crop on Sat 1/14 for some Cricut fun!  Among the benefits of the Cricut Club is the free monthly crop.  One of the best things about the Club is sharing ideas during these crops.  We learn a lot through discussion. 

 

We're featuring a different Cartridge each Month.  January's cartridge is Birthday Bash.  We'll have this on hand for members to share and explore.  You'll even have a chance to enter a drawing for a prize, and we'll choose future cartridges to highlight. 

 

We'll be offering an Embellishment Swap: Make 3 to 6 inch embellishments and swap with other members.  January's swap subject: Snowflake.

 

We're open to ideas for the Cricut Club... Be sure to let Barb know if you have any suggestions or questions while you're at the crop!
Featured Manufacturer 
Stampendous

 

Fran, the owner of Stampendous, says, "a handmade card or craft speaks from the heart".  We couldn't agree more, which is why Stampendous is our featured manufacturer this month.  They offer stamps, embossing powders, stickers, storage solutions and more.  Plus, they've been around for 30 years - they know what they're doing! 

 

Enjoy a discount on Stampendous products with the enclosed coupon through the end of the month.

Adopted Family

Donation Update

 

I delivered the donated items to the school before the kids were on break.  The counselor was very appreciative, as we got some great items for the family!  The kids each got a coat and boots, and there were toys, clothing, even some stocking stuffers, all donated by our customers and employees - you all rock!
