What is Team Club?
Team Club is something I put together 3 years ago as a way for me to offer a workshop idea to my Team that could EASILY be turned into a workshop for their customers at a very minimal cost!

• Basic Embellishments (such as brads, sparkles, etc.)
• Shopping list of items to purchase such as Stamps, Inks, and larger embellishments such as Rub-ons, Ribbons, etc. (to help you build YOUR sales, not mine)
• Some leftover Scrap pieces to do with what you please
• Printed Color instructions on how to put the kit together
• Priority Shipping in also included!

Layouts for this session will all be made using the new book MAGIC!
All cards will be inspired by our card books!
