Holly Jolly Branches Tutorial Bundle

The Avid Crafting Collective is busy designing our next tutorial bundle. This is a Christmas theme bundle using Holly Jolly Branches which will be available on the 1st September. There are 9 projects in the tutorial – 6 standard cards and 3 fancy folds with video presentations. We will each do assembly presentations of all 9 projects on our own Facebook pages starting on the 5th October. No measurements will be given in these presentations – you will need the tutorial for the measurements. Once we have completed the presentations, video links will be added to the written tutorial.

We have a number of options for you to choose from for this tutorial:

1. The Ultimate Package: This comprises the Holly Jolly Branches bundle (stamp set and coordinating dies), the tutorial kit (all the card stock to complete the nine projects in the tutorial plus six 6 x 12″ pieces of the Whispering Woods DSP (there are only three double sided designs in this pack, so it is a full sheet of each design but cut in half for easier postage), a pack of the Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Sequins, 1.5 metres of White Textured ribbon and envelopes for all the cards) and the PDF tutorial with full instructions and both metric and imperial measurements and assembly videos for the cards.) The cost for all of this (including postage) is $150.00. You will also receive $10 off your next order.

2. The Kit Package: This option gives you the tutorial kit (all the card stock to complete the nine projects in the tutorial plus six 6 x 12″ pieces of the Whispering Woods DSP (there are only three double sided designs in this pack, so it is a full sheet of each design but cut in half for easier postage), a pack of the Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Sequins, 1.5 metres of White Textured ribbon and envelopes for all the cards) and the PDF tutorial with full instructions and both metric and imperial measurements and assembly videos for the cards.) The cost for all of this (including postage) is $90.00

The above two options are only available to Australian residents. If you love all the projects and would like to make more than one set of the cards, additional kits are available for purchase for the discounted price of $70.00.

3. The Virtual Package: If you live overseas or don’t want to purchase the products, you are also welcome to join us. This option gives you the PDF tutorial with full instructions and both metric and imperial measurements and assembly videos for the cards. The cost for this option is $35.00.

Click here to complete an online registration form. My last day for registering for one of the the kit options will be the 20th September. I will place my order on the 21st September to allow time for them to get to me, get cut and packaged and sent off for you so that you receive them before I start my daily presentations on the 5th October. I would suggest that you register ASAP to avoid disappointment if any of the products sell out.

These are the three cards that I have designed for this tutorial bundle

Framed Violets Tutorial Bundle

We have had some changes to the Avid Crafting Collective (ACC). Jan Clothier has decided to take a break, and Julia and I have welcomed Chantell Randall from Western Australia as a new designer. Chantell is originally from New Zealand, so we have managed to keep our variety of accents!

We have also decided to change the format – instead of a Stamp Camp which keeps you tied to your computer for hours on a specific day, we are doing a tutorial bundle. There will still be 9 projects – 6 standard cards and 3 fancy folds with video presentations. The difference is that we will each do assembly presentations of all 9 projects on our own Facebook pages starting on the 13th July. No measurements will be given in these presentations – you will need the tutorial for the measurements. Once we have completed the presentations, video links will be added to the written tutorial.

We have a number of options for you to choose from for this tutorial:

1. The Ultimate Package: This comprises the Framed Violets bundle (stamp set and coordinating dies), the tutorial kit (all the card stock to complete the nine projects in the tutorial plus five 6 x 12″ pieces of the Violet Dreams DSP, a pack of the Adhesive-Backed Blooms, 1.5 metres of Fresh Freesia Satin ribbon and envelopes for all the cards) and the PDF tutorial with full instructions and both metric and imperial measurements and assembly videos for the cards.) The cost for all of this (including postage) is $160.00. You will also receive $10 off your next order.

2. The Kit Package: This option gives you the tutorial kit (all the card stock to complete the nine projects in the tutorial plus five 6 x 12″ pieces of the Violet Dreams DSP, a pack of the Adhesive-Backed Blooms, 1.5 metres of Fresh Freesia Satin ribbon and envelopes for all the cards) and the PDF tutorial with full instructions and both metric and imperial measurements and assembly videos for the cards.) The cost for all of this (including postage) is $85.00

The above two options are only available to Australian residents. If you love all the projects and would like to make more than one set of the cards, additional kits are available for purchase for the discounted price of $70.00.

3. The Virtual Package: If you live overseas or don’t want to purchase the products, you are also welcome to join us. This option gives you the PDF tutorial with full instructions and both metric and imperial measurements and assembly videos for the cards. The cost for this option is $35.00.

Click here to complete an online registration form. My last day for registering for one of the the kit options will be the 30th June. I will place my order on the 1st July to allow time for them to get to me, get cut and packaged and sent off for you so that you receive them before I start my daily presentations on the 13th July. I would suggest that you register ASAP to avoid disappointment if any of the products sell out.
