NEW Online Class - Pretty Presents

I wanted to offer you an online class that you can teach throughout the festive season - and here it is! Called Pretty Presents you have two options to choose....

The original Feels Like Frost version that my ladies loved last November (all updated with new products) 



or the all new Owls and Bells version featuring the Cherish the Season and Have a Hoot products and traditional colouring with the Heartwarming Hugs DSP 



This class can be taught as a full with-product class and all five projects - or you can split it up and teach 5 separate WOW! projects - because this is wow all the way through. 

We have a stamped candle in a beautiful gift box, a box frame card/home decor piece, a large four tray gift box, another large gift box and a hanging ornament that folds into a little square for gifting and storage. 

As usual my online classes are aimed to help you as a demonstrator and make your life easier, so you will receive 

  • Cutting lists with all measurements in inches worked out for A4 and US letter card stock sizes
  • Ordering per customer list
  • Pricing notes and ideas with things to remember to include
  • A second notes page showing all the ordering and cutting changes for the Frost version of the class
  • Reference photos of all of the projects 
  • No logo photos of the whole class in each option for you to watermark and use in your business 
  • Videos for each project with teaching tips and ideas 

If you would like to order this class you can click below to pay securely and I will send the class to your email inbox as soon as I see the payment. Remember I may be asleep if we are on the other side of the world - but I will send as soon as I wake up :)

The cost is £10 which is approx $13 US depending on the Paypal exchange rate today. Just click the buy now button to order. 

If you would like to see more - have a look at the video for a close up peek at those projects. 


Let me know if you have any questions about the class or you can order by clicking the buy now button above. 


**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**

Birds & Branches / Free as a Bird Online Class - Teach by Post or in person

This post and class was originally shared during 2020 full lockdown - but of course now you can also teach it in person :) 

Today I am sharing another online class for you, suitable to be a class by post and I hope it will be helpful to you at this time.


Whether your customers are internet savvy or completely offline - you can teach this using the materials I am providing in this class. It features a pretty bird box with a hinge lid that stores up to 12 3X3 notecards and envelopes! 

You can teach it right now using the Free as a Bird Stamp Set or you can order today and get ready to teach it in June using the fabulous Birds & Branches stamp set- available on pre-order. Now you know I can't show you that one as I type (it is May 9th) - but you can find it on page 120 of the new catalogue. 

**NOW UPDATED to add photos and tips sheet for the Birds & Branches version! 


I included the Free as a Bird stamps - but with Birds & Branches you can also offer an option for your customers to upgrade to the bundle price to include the dies! 

Once again there are options with the cards. I am teaching this class by post right now using the retiring Best Dressed 3X3 cards – my customers are getting 12 cards and envelopes in their kits. But below you can see an option you can offer with plain white 3X3 cards and the 3 1/8" square envelopes that are carry over. 




The bird box looks beautiful and you can choose from a range of embossing folder options and colours to suit your customers. My class by post has been super popular with my lovely class ladies, currently all locked down at home. 

Teaching Options for this class by post 

Of course you can make your own videos of these projects, (check out my tips video on doing this if you want to try),  but I am offering two other options to help you share this class with your customer

  A printable featuring non-logo photos with simple instructions so that customers with no internet access can still join the class 
  No-logo videos filmed especially for you to share with your customers encouraging them to connect with you as their demo - but saving you a couple of days or more of videoing and editing. See more about these options in the video below. 

The video mainly focuses on the construction of the bird house and I show the various card options – but it will all feature the Free as a Bird stamps as that is what I have on hand right now. I will mention that your customers may be using another super cute bird stamp set! 

BONUS coming soon for anyone who buys this class! As soon as my Birds & Branches bundle arrives, I will update the photos and projects to show it using the new bundle and make the no-logo photos available to you. I will email you directly to let you know when they are available. ***NOW UPDATED - you will get these updated photos and a tips document when you receive your class.

In addition you will receive all the usual goodies from me

 Measurements for all the projects in inches worked out for US Letter and A4 sizes 

 Non-logo photos for advertising the class 

  List of items to order PLUS pricing ideas and hints and tips included

 Everything printable on US letter or A4 paper with correct local spellings :) 

How much is all this? Well as usual I would rather keep it affordable for you – especially in these challenging times. So this class is just £10 (apx $13 US) and you can order it right now whichever option you are doing. Click the button below to order and I will pop the class into your email box. I do it asap, but if we are in a different time zone it may take a couple of hours for me to wake up:) 

Birds & Branches / Free as a Bird Online Class £10.00
