Mix & Match Class Idea - Gold Dipped Cards, Tags for the Season, Joyful Images Ephemera

Would you like to teach a quick and easy class with no prep and design time? FREE printable. 

Just popping in with an extra post today to share a class I taught last week. This was as easy to teach as a kit class and allowed my lovely ladies to either copy my samples or be as creative as they liked with the different elements. 



For each of the ladies I ordered a full pack of the Gold Dipped Mix & Match Cards & Envelopes. They also had half a pack each of the Tags for the Season and half a pack of the Joyful Images ephemera. The great thing with splitting these packs is the designs are duplicated - so everyone gets the same goodies. 
 (You can find them all on page 15 of the mini). 

I also included a couple of yards of the Cherry Cobbler & Gold 1/4" ribbon - although for a lower cost option, you could use the Real Red and White Bakers Twine. 



They made 9 cards each plus some tags and card toppers with the left over items. For our class I provided a selection of festive stamps - but if you wanted to make it a no-stamping experience you could split the Joyful Sayings kit too. I found I didn't have enough tiny greetings from my current stamps, so I reached for the retired Itty Bitty Christmas as well as the current Greetings of the Season. 



FREE PRINTABLES FOR YOU 

If you need a quick and easy class to teach, you are very welcome to use my designs if you wish. 

I have popped them on a FREE PRINTABLE for you. That will save you buying your own kit and designing if you don't have the time to do that.  Click here for your freebie :)  The printables don't have any logo on them - so you can print and hand out to your customers. 


I also have another little video for you to show how to use the Yuletide Village stamps all year round! There are some tips on using the stamps too. You can watch more HERE.

Humble Home from Stampin' Up! Tiny House Online Class Now Available

I don't usually offer classes so close together - but we had 3 winners that I didn't want to hold back in case you want to teach one or more this season.  

As soon as I saw the front of the new September - December 24 mini catalogue - I knew what I wanted to make. I love things in miniature - so my tiny village started to bubble away in my brain. 

I designed a Gingerbread Cottage, an English Tudor Pub, a Beach Hut, a Valentines House, a Thatched Cottage and a Halloween House. 

You can put small treats inside if you wish too. 



We have an initial construction video where I show you how to make the basic 3D house and then six further videos where we go into the detail of each house, the different kinds of roof and window design, some quick cheats to speed up construction and of course some teaching tips. 



The class is just £10 delivered to your inbox, and includes all the following:

  • A basic construction video showing how to create a 3D house
  • 6 more videos, one for each of the different houses 
  • 24 photos showing all four sides of each house 
  • A non-logo photo of all the houses 
  • Measurements in inches for each project - with the basic measurements at the top and detailed measurements and tips for each house design. 
If you would like to order the class just click below and I will send it over to your email inbox. 

ORDER HERE  for just £10 (about $14 US) 


If you would like to see a little more before you buy - you can watch this short video. 
 


I hope you enjoy this class and that it helps you with your Stampin' Up!  business. 





**NOTE: Products used in this class were current at the time the class was designed. In many cases an alternative stamp/punch/die or DSP design will work for the projects**

Two-Tone Cardstock / White Core Cardstock Confusion! AND Sophisticated Sled

So here's a thing. When Stampin' Up! started talking about their new cardstock (before launch), there was lots of talk about it being 'white core' - something that I was very familiar with from years ago. 

But actually AT launch, I missed that it was being described as Two-Tone Cardstock - another of its properties! As a result I have caused confusion to some of you and I apologise! They are absolutely the same thing. 

Anyway I thought I would pop in to the blog today to share a video I made featuring one of the White Core/Two Tone Cardstock techniques. Click HERE to watch. 




If you would like to see more about the full White Core Technique Masterclass - you can find it here.

White Core Two-tone Cardstock Technique Masterclass - Using the New Cardstock from Stampin' Up!

We have been hearing a lot about the new scrapbooking products coming to Stampin' Up! including the new White Core Cardstock - also known as Two Tone Cardstock. 

Whilst I was a scrapbooker way back when, I am mostly a card maker now - so I have put a White Core Technique Masterclass together especially for card makers. 

White Core Technique Masterclass 



This is a great opportunity to run one or more classes and introduce your customers to a brand new product line. Here is what is included in the class:

  • 12 techniques using White Core Cardstock from Stampin' Up! 
  • Step by step videos for each technique 
  • A separate video showing All You Need to Know about White Core
  • 5 card ideas to make and share using some of the techniques with a show & tell video  
  • Photographs to use in your Stampin' Up! business
  • A set up video for creating your memories and more technique file - plus some alternate ideas for you and your customers
  • Printable layout examples showing how to assemble samples and instructions in a memories and more folder, if wished
  • Printable index sheet   
  • Printable instructions for each technique – editable with no logos configured for both A4 and US letter versions 
  • 9 copies of one technique per sheet for easy class prep PLUS a two page printable of all the techniques and an index. 

I have kept my class price to just £10, which is usually about $14 US  - but at the time of typing it is less due to current exchange rates.

If you would like to order the class for just £10 you can order securely on Paypal by clicking below and I will email your class to you.  



I email as soon as I get your paypal notification - however if we are on other sides of the world I will send as soon as I wake up! 


If you would like to know a little more about the class, you can see more on this video.



I really hope this class will help you in your Stampin' Up! business.

Fancy Folds part 10 - Featuring Season of Elegance, Yuletide Village, Decorative Trees from the Stampin' Up! Mini

Well here we go with a brand new Fancy Folds class - this time featuring the Season of Elegance Designer Paper and a selection stamps from the new mini catalogue. 

What I love about fancy folds however, is you can use whatever DSP and stamps you wish - so this class does not need to be all about Christmas. You could teach a fancy folds class as I have always done with 5 in one go - but I have also heard so some demos turning the whole class into a weekend retreat and teaching all 10 projects. Alternatively just use one a month and you can have almost a years worth of fancy folds! 

So if you are are ever short of that WOW card to tempt your customers to come to class and don't have the time to research and figure out all the measurements - then this class is for you. 



This time we have 10 Fancy Folds including an Endless Triangle Card, a Snowglobe Diorama Card and a very fancy Lift and Rotate card - I show you what that looks like on the video below if you would like to see. 



 Included in the class are:

  • Measurements in inches worked out for A4 and US letter sizes
  • All printable on A4 & US paper 
  • Project photos - no-logo that you can use for advertising
  • Cheat sheet photos for cutting and scoring  
  • An introductory videos with ideas and hints 
  • A step by step video for each of the projects
  • A per-person ordering list for the whole class
  • Class pricing ideas and tips
  • Plus some BONUS ideas for making no Christmas versions of the most festive projects 

I have kept my class price to just £10, which right now is under $14 US depending on today's Paypal exchange rates.

To order Fancy Folds Library Part 10, click below and pay securely by Paypal. When I receive the payment, I will email the class direct to your email inbox. I always send within 24 hours - usually much sooner, but allow me time if we are in different time zones. 

If you would like to see more on a short video and see a few of those folds in action - you can find it here






If you missed Fancy Folds parts 1-9, all those classes are still available too. You can find them listed and linked at the end of this email.  Altogether that is 126 Fancy Folds! 

I really hope you enjoy these projects and I hope your customers will love them too. 

Happy stamping 

Love Liz X

Frosted Forest Tips and Tricks Video

Just a quick post today to share two videos I have done for you. First I have some tips and tricks for using the Frosted Forest masks. 

I had a play and found a way to get a more 'dappled' effect on my tree - I think you will like it but see what you think. 

I will also share a show and tell about the other projects I made using the bundle. 

You watch the video HERE. 



Secondly I had some requests for more detail about how I got the best from the Rest Relax Enjoy stamps - so as your wish is my command here is another tips and tricks video.

Rest Relax Enjoy - class projects - how to videos and more

Would you like to make a gift card holder that really pops? I designed this box to work with the Pocket Thoughts dies and Rest Relax Enjoy stamps to create a floating element inside the box. My class ladies loved it, so I thought I would film it for you. You can see the video here. 




Other projects are shown in the video including some tips on my display projects using the same stamp set and get the most from the Rest Relax Enjoy stamps. 



We also made a simple masking project using the Attention Shoppers goodies. 


And a blast from the not-so-distant past - we made a card using Cheerful Daisies brought right up to date with Petunia Pop cardstock and ink. 


EXTRA  EXTRA  EXTRA 

As promised for those of you who purchased the Online Exclusive Printables - I have some more sample projects shareables for you. I have added a no-logo selection of projects made using the Frosted Forest bundle to the files. Feel free to share them with you customers on your private groups or in person.  I will be back with a how to video in a week or so too. 


COMING SOON 

I have been working on some Mini Catalogue DSP / Bling / Ribbon printables for you to use in your in person events. To keep within the Stampin' Up! rules, I can't offer these until the catalogue is about to go live to customers - so keep tuned. 


PREVIOUSLY SHARED 

Thank you for your kind comments about how much you learned from my video about the Glass Mat Studio.  My lovely ladies were inspired to order after seeing it and I do say in the video to 'contact your demonstrator to order' - so feel free to share with your customers if it saves you having to film your own version! 

 If you haven't watched you can find it HERE.

Video Tutorial for Front Pop Up Card - From Our Home + July Projects

As promised I am back with some more project inspiration from my July classes. 

I had some feedback that you would like to see some of my class projects created on video rather than just a show and tell - so that is what I have done this month with one that needs a little more explanation. 


This is a simple fancy fold but the key part is knowing where to stamp to get the street running along the back as well as on the front. CLICK HERE to see how along with a show and tell of two more projects. 

 


I made some sample projects for display at class to feature the Perennial Postage Dies (how had I missed them in the spring catalogue?) 


And I also created more projects with the Pocket Thoughts bundle. On the Attention Shoppers bottle one at the end I used a medium pocket on the back of the pull out from the big pocket for a gift card.

INSPIRATION 

I love the new Changing Leaves Hybrid Bundle - so that was the first thing I played with. The sampler shows embossed and debossed, embossed and die cut, stamped and die cut and stand alone die cuts too. 



My sample cards were created as a contrast to the autumn colours. I used Bubblebath and Soft Sea Foam with a contrast colour of Pecan Pie for greetings etc. Most of the elements were die cut in Basic White and then I coloured using Blending Brushes and the inks to get a super soft effect. 

The larger card is A4 folded in half but you could also use US letter for a similar effect. 



I hope you like the projects and find the printables useful in your Stampin' Up! business. 


SIXTEEN WAYS TO USE THE STAMPIN' GLASS MAT STUDIO 

I was getting lots of questions from my lovely ladies so on a class week (!) I quickly filmed this video showing no less than 16 ways to use the new Glass Mat.

In this video I encourage viewers to contact their own Stampin' Up! demo - so feel free to share it with your customers - or by all means film your own version. To watch click HERE - or to share with your customers, team or demo friends use this link https://youtu.be/8R6rtJJdZO8

June Class Projects - Tune In - Spotlight on Nature - Labelled with Love from the NEW Stampin' Up! catalog

This post will be photo heavy and I hope it will offer some inspiration to you. Scroll down for the show and tell video sharing some teaching tips and a couple more of the samples I made. 

I am REALLY excited that we got to choose punch or dies with two of the stamp sets (spoiler I chose punches with both!) What about you? 

This card made with Labelled with Love was super simple to create. I love how the Pretty in Pink and Summer Splash co-ordinate. 


Next we have Spotlight on Nature. We created the ver simple easel card. The use of Basic Beige is a bit washed out in this photo but see below for the ones I created for display 


Do you like this new colour? In theory Basic Beige sounds unexciting but I LOVE it. Zoom in to see the detail that I got using our gorgeous stamps both on the white layers and tone on tone to create the background elements. 


And now on to my Tune in Samples. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this fun retro stamp set and made a selection of samples using it. If you are of a certain age and from the UK, you will see I created one with a BBC test card effect! Did your TV look like this? 




For the show and tell video with more information and teaching tips, just click here:
