Are YOU thinking Christmas yet?

Though I don't want to rush the holidays, (my goodness, we still have Halloween and Thanksgiving to celebrate, and Christmas has already taken over retail land.  Drives me nuts!)  there is something to be said for planning ahead -- especially when it comes to Christmas cards!  I would like to entice you with a gorgeous little stamp set, exclusive to Close to My Heart and available, starting today, and only through the end of November. 

 

"Holiday Wishes" Stamp Set Special

 

This set is available for only $5.00 when you place a minimum order of $25 in My Acrylix^® stamp sets in November (actually, beginning today!). That’s a significant savings off the full retail value of $17.95. And even better: many of the images in the set coordinate with our Cricut^® Art Philosophy cartridge for added cutting and stamping fun!

Better yet, you can purchase one of the Holiday Wishes sets for each qualifying $25 in My Acrylix^® stamp sets you purchase.  So, lets say you purchase $50 in qualifying stamp sets.  You can then add TWO of the Holiday Wishes sets to your order (share with a friend!) AND you can add the Stamp of the Month for only $5.00 as well!  

 

Bottom line -- for an additional $15.00, you're getting $53.85 worth of product!  That's a savings of  $38.85, and you'll have plenty of yummy Christmas stamps to craft your Christmas cards, gift tags, or December Daily mini albums!  SO, what are you waiting for?  To place your order, just head to my website, click on Shop Online, and go to town!

Until next time,
