THE ADVISOR-ONLY AFTER-PARTY STARTS TODAY
Ends Nov. 28 at noon CT or while supplies last

As a perk of being an Advisor, starting today, you can choose a FREE gift — the Welcome Gnome Embellishments, Charming Village Embellishments or Charming Village Stickers — with qualifying orders!

These gift options are an EXACT MATCH to the products in the Welcome Gnome and Charming Village Black Friday Bundles (aka they are not new designs), but we created extras for the first time for Advisors so you can get MORE of the decorative products that coordinate with the Gnomes Border Punch and/or the Charming Village Border Punch!

To take advantage of this promo, you'll want to ensure you're signed in to your Advisor account (so the system recognizes to give you the offer) and place a qualifying order of $40+, $80+ or $120+ to choose up to 3 free gifts or $520+ for the Bulk tier to choose 13 free gifts (a limit of 13 free gifts per order).

TEAM BUILDERS

Building your team not only grows our community but moves you one step closer to earning the Advisor Escape in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, in 2024, where you will have the opportunity to spend time connecting with fellow Advisors AND your Home Office Team!

Congratulations to each of you who welcomed new team members last week (Sunday-Saturday) — YOU are the Dream Builders! 

Let's give a cheer for a few of the top team builders this week for the U.S. and Canada!

ADVISOR-EXCLUSIVE PUNCH LAUNCHES TODAY

Starting today, you can get the Advisor-exclusive 3-in-1 Scallop Square Layering Punch, which is similar to the 3-in-1 Scallop Circle Layering Punch in Secret Box #4! It creates a 1-1/2" scallop square and square frame cutout, a 1-1/16" scallop square and square frame cutout and a 13/16" scallop square cutout that you'll love for creating layered designs and as frames!

Learn how to use the punch with Noreen in the video below!
