Note: This is not an official A Muse Studio document, just bits of information to give you a better idea if this is the right opportunity for you. The Consultant handbook and the contract you sign when joining should, of course, be read carefully. Thanks!

Signing up with me
I'd love to have you join my team, whether you buy the goodies for yourself or you sign up to actually host parties. You do not have to be local. I am available for any questions/concerns you might have.
Selling
You are not required to sell to others. As long as you make your minimum sales, you'll be an active consultant. People who sign up to the enjoy the discount on their own purchases are commonly called "hobby consultants". For those interested in building a business, it's an exciting time to join. Since it's a new company, you offer product that customers haven't seen yet. Beginning April 1, consultants can opt to have websites where customers can purchase products online.
Competition
You can continue to do design work for other stamp companies and post projects or links referencing other companies or their representatives on your blog. The only thing you cannot do is be on a design team for or be a demo for another home-based stamp company. Stamp companies that aren't home party based are just fine, as are home party based that don't sell stamps, like Pampered Chef.
Starter kit stamps
Your starter kit includes four sets that are a mix of images from around 15-20 catalog sets. It's a great mix of images, sentiments, and some other elements like backgrounds. They are very versatile sets! The variety is great if you plan on buying them for yourself or to use for home parties to get a wide range of styles for cheap!
A Muse Studio Stamps
The stamps are cling-mount rubber stamps that are pre-cut and ready to use. Since I've become used to clear stamps and the easy placement, I didn't think I would like the cling-mount rubber stamps. But the high-quality red rubber makes for great stamped images and since it's thicker there's almost no chance of your clear block hitting your ink pad/paper.
There is small group of stamps (Clearly Creative) that are clear stamps, mostly alphabets for easier placement of letters/numbers.
A Muse Studio Inks
A Muse Studio ink pads are pigment inks offered in 39 colors that coordinate with the rest of the A Muse Studio paper and embellishments. It's closer to a chalk ink than a pigment ink. It dries quickly. If you run your finger firmly over a completed project you will pick up some ink, but it doesn't smear or smudge.
If you're ready to join
