FREE Printable of ALL the Punches - for all markets. PLUS tips for a successful catalogue launch

Hello my fellow Stampin' Up! demos

I don't usually email you more than twice in a month - but I have heard some of you are waiting for this...

Free Punch Printable! 
This is a two page printable of all the punches with items codes for the 24-25 catalogue and online exclusive but excluding the ones that are in clearance - as those vary around the world. 



The prices are shown for all markets and while the descriptions are in English hopefully they will work where ever you are. The printable is done in Word and is non-logo and fully editable so you can take out any currencies that are not relevant if you wish and add your own logo or information. 

Get your printable HERE.  


How to run a successful launch event 
I ran my first launch event with a few people around my dining room table 15 years ago. This year was my biggest ever with over 40 lovely ladies in attendance. 

Stampin' Up! Launch Party

Large or small running a launch event for a new catalogue can really help your business. I know it may be too late for some this year, but I will pop this updated video in our 'build your business' section so you can refer back. 

If you haven't done a launch event for the new book however - it is not too late! Go for it and let me know how you get on.

May Class Projects and FREE Demo Cheat Sheet for the 2024-2025 Catalogue

While I have heard some mixed reaction to the new Stampin' Up! catalogue, my lovely customers love the new goodies within. 

The most popular bundle at launch was Country Birdhouse and the most popular DSP was Thoughtful Wishes - possibly because we used that for one of the Make and Take projects. 

.


I did mention the other day that during my big launch event I spent too much time having to look things up on my phone so I could answer questions. Time that would be better spent actively teaching, selling and socialising with my customers.

FREE Demo Cheat Sheet Printable for you

I have put together a FREE 2 page printable that might help. It basically covers the 'missing' elements that we found ourselves looking up. For example a missing price, item number, size, quantity or further descriptions. 
They are totally editable so you can add your own logo and delete the prices that do not apply to you. (Included prices where needed are UK, US, Can, Aus, NZ and EU). 

To see more - you can watch this short video: 


If you are a newsletter subscriber - you already have the link in your email inbox with the May newsletter. 

If you are NOT already on demo newsletter list - please do join us. Just email me at liz.shannon@icloud.com. I will add you to the list and send you the latest newsletter with the new free printable link. 

Please feel free to ask your demo friends to sign up for the newsletter so they can get this and future printables too. 


May Class Projects

This month we focussed on the pre-order goodies in class - I teach on the first week of the month so no time for the other products to arrive.  Click here for some teaching tips to make teaching using these goodies  easier.

Launch Party Inspiration - DSP Printables as requested by you!

It was my customer launch and thank you  party last week - and here is something you may have heard me say before - launch parties do not have to look like this! In fact although there are elements of my launch event that I do encourage my team to replicate, doing a huge event like this takes a lot of time as you might imagine. 


Scroll down for a link to my 2 minute video to see more and I will be back after class next week with a step by step guide to having a successful launch party large or small. Also some close ups of some of the display projects - which you are very welcome to CASE. 

UPDATE! I need to quickly address my display boards. They are made from old fashioned laundry racks with foam board velcro'd to the back. :) I actually managed to find some on Amazon UK and also Lakeland a UK homewares store. Here is the Amazon link so you can see what to search for. 


Printables For You 

Thank you to the response for the free printable handy index for the new catalogue. If you didn't already grab it just click the link above. 

Many of you let me know that you were already missing the DSP pages. For those whose customers buy online it is not a biggie - but my ladies are definitely commented on the 'missing' DSP section and I spent too much time looking things up on my phone.


Creating this for us was a much bigger job than the index, but I think it will help us sell the DSP not (or barely) featured in the catalogue. I couldn't produce this in advance being unable to share images until launch, so I worked through the night to finish this for you. 

I included ALL DSP and speciality paper mentioned in the annual catalogue index. We have item numbers, description and price for ALL markets - UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Europe. I created two files depending on whether you print on A4 or US letter. 

If you would care to buy this printable for just £4 (apx $5 US)  you can do so securely by clicking the paypal link below. I send these out manually so I will send as soon as I see it - give me time if we are in different time zones! 

Click below to purchase for £4. 


Launch Projects

Well where can I start? As usual crazy Liz went too far and came up with lots of inspiration using my pre-order purchases. I try to show different ways to use them. I have put a few in this newsletter and lots more on the blog post. I hope you find something to inspire you. 

      



2 Minute Launch Video 

If you want to have a peek at my launch - this little video is the quick sneak peek. More next week on how to do this yourself. Mine started with just a few people 15 years ago - so even if you have never done a launch I will show you how.
