July 2023 CTMH News

Welcome to the second half of the year 2023. I was going to say downside, but I thought that wording was too depressing. I am just stunned that we are already near the Independence Day holiday. Where did the time go? I hope your 2023 has given you many opportunities to get crafty and have wonderful celebrations with family and friends and there will be many, many more times in the second part of 2023.

VIP Bonus Bundles

For a limited time and with a qualifying order, VIP Customers can receive a special bonus bundle

of FREE product. As shown in the flyer below (or download a copy here), there are three levels of bonus bundles available to qualify for! You can only qualify for one bundle per order, but you’ll earn one bundle with each qualifying order you place between now and July 31 (while supplies last).

VIP Bonus Bundles Flyer

The VIP Bonus Bundles include a variety of retired items valued at the amounts listed above. All VIP115 Bundles will contain the same set of products, the VIP116 Bundles will contain different products than the VIP115 Bundle, but all VIP116 Bundles will contain the same set of products and same for the VIP117 Bonus Bundles. Bundle contents are subject to change.

Since VIP Bonus Bundles are free, they will not add to earning additional VIP Credit. VIP Credit cannot be used to purchase Bonus Bundles, however VIP Credit can be used to pay for part of an order and the order will still qualify for the bonus bundle. VIP Bonus Bundles do not count toward the qualifying

purchase for earning a free Stamp of the Month. VIP Customers who place an order now will have a July–August 2023 Catalog sent to them (free) with their order.

If you are not currently a VIP Customer, you may sign up to become a VIP to take advantage of the offer. Sign up to be a VIP and once that is complete you can then place qualifying order to receive a Bonus Bundle.

VIP Bonus Bundles are available June 15–July 31 while supplies last. Shipping & handling are

calculated on full retail price to the bonus bundles.
