Christmas in July Craftfest
Speaker Information + Resources

Thank you for your interest in speaking at the Christmas in July Craftfest! I’m so excited about the possibility of teaming up with you to create a fun, inspiring, and magical event for moms who love making the holiday season special.

The Christmas in July Craftfest is a free 3-day online event designed to help busy moms create a magical, stress-free Christmas through festive crafts, handmade gifts, holiday decor, elf inspiration, creative traditions, and more.

On this page, you’ll find resources to make the speaking process as simple and stress-free as possible, along with answers to common questions. If you need anything at all, feel free to email me at [email protected]

If you’ve participated in virtual events, summits, or collaborative workshops before and felt overwhelmed or unsupported as a speaker, my goal is to create a smooth, organized, and encouraging experience for everyone involved.

As a speaker, you’ll also receive complimentary access to The Magic Maker’s Toolkit!

How it Will Work

The Christmas in July Craftfest will take place July 26–28, with a fun kick-off event on July 25 to get everyone excited and in the Christmas spirit..

Each presentation will include approximately 10–20 minutes of actionable content designed to help attendees actually create, make, organize, or plan something for Christmas. We want attendees leaving the event with completed projects, fresh inspiration, concrete plans, and less holiday stress – not just more screenshots of ideas on their phone! Presentations may also include up to a 3-minute freebie or offer mention within the workshop.

In addition to the presentations, attendees will have access to a private Facebook group where they can share progress, ask questions, celebrate finished projects, and connect with other Christmas-lovers. If attendees have follow-up questions about your presentation, you’re welcome (but never required!) to pop into the group for a quick live video or Q&A session to provide additional value and connect with attendees.

The design includes a red pair of scissors, a red and blue hot glue gun, a spool of blue string with loose string curling outward, a blue and white craft glue bottle, and a brown paintbrush. Two red-and-white striped candy canes are tucked between the supplies. At the bottom of the arrangement are dark green holly leaves with bright red berries in the center. A red Christmas ornament with a white snowflake design hangs on the right side of the illustration. The overall design has a playful hand-drawn style with bold outlines and classic Christmas colors.

Leading up to the event, we’ll have approximately two weeks of promotion. To make things as easy as possible, you’ll receive swipe copy for emails and social media, ready-to-use graphics, and a suggested promotional schedule you can easily follow yourself or hand off to a VA.

During the promotion period, throughout the event itself, and for a limited time afterward, we’ll also be promoting The Magic Maker’s Toolkit – an all-access pass featuring presentation replays plus bonus resources like craft files, printables, planners, templates, courses, workbooks, and more.

The toolkit is designed to provide incredible value for attendees while also making your participation worthwhile through affiliate commissions, audience growth, and email list growth. My goal is for this event to feel like a win-win for everyone involved!

What I'll Ask of You

Introduce the purpose of this section.

1. Basic Information

The first thing I’ll need is some basic information from you so I can finish up our registration page and Speakers page. 

Once you officially say “I’m in!” I’ll send over a simple form where you can submit everything needed for the registration and speaker pages. 

2. Your Presentation

Next up is your presentation! This will be a pre-recorded workshop or presentation that’s approximately 10–20 minutes long, but it’s flexible. 

The vibe of this event is fun, approachable, and realistic – not stiff, overly polished, or overly sales-focused. We want attendees to walk away feeling inspired, capable, and excited to actually create something magical for Christmas.

Rather than webinar-style presentations that leave attendees feeling stuck without purchasing something, the goal is to provide genuinely helpful, actionable content attendees can start using right away.

Your presentation can be in whatever format feels most natural for you, including:

  • Slides or screen sharing
  • Talking directly on camera
  • A mix of the two

No matter what format you choose, you are free to use your presentation however you’d like in the future.

Suggested presentation flow:

  • 3-minute or less introduction
  • Overview of the holiday project, craft, technique, or Christmas idea you’ll be teaching
  • Common holiday frustrations, crafting challenges, or stress points your presentation helps simplify
  • Hands-on teaching, demonstrations, or step-by-step workshop content
  • Actionable tips and simple next steps attendees can use to create a more magical, organized, and stress-free Christmas season
  • Up to a 3-minute freebie pitch

Presentations are due by July 1, 2026.

You’ll also receive a downloadable PDF guide with all presentation requirements, tips, and deadlines in one place.

3. The Magic Maker’s Toolkit Contribution

The Magic Maker’s Toolkit will be the premium all-access pass for the event and will include presentation replays plus bonus resources from speakers and affiliates.

To make the toolkit even more valuable – and to give you another opportunity to grow your email list and earn affiliate commissions – speakers are highly encouraged to contribute one premium resource.

Examples include:

  • SVG bundles or craft files
  • Printable packs or planners
  • Templates or workbooks
  • Courses or workshops
  • Digital products
  • Membership access
  • …and more!

You’re welcome to contribute either an existing product or something brand new created specifically for the event. While this isn’t required, it’s highly encouraged that you participate. 

It can be Christmas-themed, holiday-themed, or just a general product that will help moms stay organized, get crafty, etc. 

Please note:

  • We cannot accept freebies or percentage-off coupons
  • 1:1 coaching or service offers are not recommended due possible high volume sales
  • The goal is to provide attendees with high-value digital resources they can immediately use

Anyone who does contribute a premium resource will get a 50% affiliate commission on sales, rather than 40%. It’s also an opportunity to collect hundreds of extra email addresses as attendees claim your offer.

Information for these resources is due on June 26. You’ll receive a questionnaire to fill out closer to that time to make passing the information to me nice and simple.

Please note that attendees will be able to begin claiming resources as soon as promotion opens. 

4. Promotion

One of the biggest benefits of a summit-style event is the power of collaboration and shared audiences. Everyone wins when we all work together to spread the word!

Speakers are encouraged to promote the event through email and social media during the promotional period.

To make this incredibly easy, you’ll receive:

  • Email swipe copy
  • Social media captions
  • Graphics and promotional images
  • Suggested posting schedule
  • Your affiliate link and tracking information

You’ll want to share using your affiliate link so you can get in on the 40-50% commission that will come from any sale of the The Magic Makers Toolkit.

If you choose to contribute a bonus to The Magic Makers Toolkit, your commission will increase from 40% to 50%. Yay!

5. Low-Key Participation

Once the event begins, most of the heavy lifting is already done!

All we ask is that you pop in to check on the thread in the Facebook group related to your presentation during the time that it’s live if you’re available. 

Speakers can also engage with members in the Facebook group by encouraging participants, and celebrating completed projects and wins.

This helps attendees feel supported, creates stronger connections with your audience, and makes the event feel even more fun and interactive for everyone involved.

Affiliate Details

While summits are great for overall visibility and making new connections, a little extra income never hurts either, right?

That’s exactly why I’ve set up an affiliate program for the The Magic Makers Toolkit where you’ll receive a commission from all sales from traffic you refer to the event. Payouts will be made by August 3, 2026.

The commission structure is as follows:

  • 40% for all speakers
  • 50% for all speakers who include a premium bonus 

The most likely pricing structure will be (waiting to make a final decision based on total value of the items included):

  • $47 for 20 minutes after initial registration
  • $67 from July 6-July 25
  • $97 from July 26-31

To make it as easy as possible for you to generate extra income, the Resource Vault includes things like email swipe copy, social media copy, and social share graphics. However, you’re more than welcome to write your own copy and even run your own Facebook ads. 

Just remember to use your affiliate link, which you can create or look up here (coming soon!).

As with all affiliate promotions, be sure to disclose that you’re an affiliate when sharing with your audience.
