Step 1: Determine how you will advertise this project.

This card project can be advertised in two ways:

1. Consultant-Driven Project: This option can be set up a couple of different ways depending on how you want to approach it. Both suggestions are based on a group of your customers getting together to create the cards using one stamp set and the kits you prepare in advance. How you prepare the kits is the difference:

a. You divide the full sheets of paper and the embellishments and assemble them into kits, based on the supplies listed on the next page. The customer then cuts their own paper at the workshop using the provided diagrams in the cus-tomer packet.

b. You pre-cut the papers and prepare the embellishments for each kit, based on the supplies and cutting diagrams listed.

c. Also, with either option, you can assemble the kits and sell them to customers who cannot attend the workshop but would still like to create the cards using ONLY the pre-cut (or full sheets of) papers and divided embellishments.

2. Customer-Only Project: This option is based on you selling the customer the stamp set and full packages of products to make the sample cards, or similar cards with various B&T Duos®

papers. The customer has the freedom to choose which papers from the Sparkle & Shine paper packet (X7176B) they want to use. Then, since they are buying their own Santa Claus stamp set, they can design their cards with their own personal flair.

Step 2: Plan the number of kits you need.

• If your customers want to purchase the kits you create for them, order enough supplies from the OPTION 1 supply list for the number of cards they want to create. (Option 1 supply list is based on FULL sheets of paper for each guest, whether you cut the papers for the customer or they cut the papers themselves.) The OPTION 1 list is based on guests creating 10 cards, so if any of your customers want to create more than 10, adjust the supply list accordingly. All you need to do is determine how many cards your customers want to make, based on increments of 10, and then order the appropriate supplies to create their kits.

• If your customers want to purchase the full packages of each product and the stamp set, order enough supplies from the OPTION 2 supply list based on how many customers choose this option. Since the customer buys the entire paper packet with this option, rather than just a few sheets of paper from Option 1, they have enough paper to create more than 10 cards if they buy more die-cut card bases or choose to make card bases out of the full sheets of cardstock included in the paper packet.

Step 3: Determine your kit price.

The total consumable price for the kit contents in OPTION 1—for 8 customers and you—is $12.36, which is your base price per person for supplies. You should charge at least that amount for each kit. From there you can determine what you’d like to charge based on the time it took you to prepare the kits, the rental fee for

your workshop space (if applicable), and so forth. We recommend a minimum kit price, with no stamp set included, of $15, and a minimum stamp-included kit price of $30. However, you are free to determine a kit price that meets your needs and your customers’ expectations.
