New Horizons & On the Horizon Bundle

Welcome to Ready, Set, Demo 

Where has the time gone? How is it January already?  And in Europe - where is the New Horizons DSP? 

Well it is hopefully sailing speedily across the Atlantic - but in the meantime I have been showing my lovely customers how to create projects with the On the Horizon bundle without the DSP. 

I combined it with Oceanfront - which helped with the backgrounds - but I also showed how you can use Waterpainters and ink to make similar effects. 

Here is a tip to make the fences pop... Die cut the fence in Basic White, stamp with Soft Suede using the fence panel stamp. Use a Blending Brush to darken or colour. Then die cut another fence in black or grey and offset to one side. This gives a great 3D effect.

I know it is difficult to make our businesses work when some items are unavailable - and let's not even talk about our poor South Pacific friends who have virtually no Sale-A-Bration goodies right now! Sending all the love to you and hope something is sorted for you soon. 

COMING SOON! 

I have been creating some class designs that can help you put a class together at short notice using any DSP and I have another technique class coming soon which may also work for these tricky times.

If you are not already on my mailing list - sign up here for details of those upcoming classes to help save you time and money in your business. 

Take care and happy stamping

New online class - Peaceful Place - Festive Home Decor & Cards

Are your customers ready for something different this festive season? I know mine were and they loved this fun class creating some Christmas home decor trees as well as some pretty cards. 

It made for a relaxing class with pretty easy prep - and my 'at home' ladies enjoyed it too.

PEACEFUL PLACE - FESTIVE HOME DECOR & CARDS

To give you an idea of scale the tall tree is about 12" and they work from any angle so could be a holiday table centre if you wish. 

You could also choose to change up the colours and go with some traditional Christmas DSP - and you can use whatever glimmer, foil and bling you prefer. 


Included in the class are:

• Measurements in inches worked out for A4 and US letter sizes
• A printable template for the 'snow' layer for display
• An ordering list per person
• Class pricing ideas
• Non-logo advertising photo 
• Reference photos for each project
• An introduction video with teaching tips 
• Step by step videos for each project

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

If you would like to order the class securely on Paypal, click the button below. If you'd like to see more, scroll down and I will show you the projects on a short video.

 I hope this class will help some of you save time and effort in working out a wow project to teach and that it helps with your sales too. 

**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**

SELLING AT CLASSES

Hello and welcome to Ready, Set, Demo

 

I hear from some demonstrators that they struggle to sell in a class setting, (as opposed to a party where everyone expects to buy). One thing I do is to put out a small display of samples to show other ways of using the products we were using. 

By showing the versatility of the goodies and also sharing some Sale-A-Bration items too - you can easily talk about the bundle to tempt your lovely customers.  For example in class we made these two cards using the Nature's Harvest bundle ...

 

...and then I showed these 6 sample cards showing a range of techniques and other products including the Be Dazzling Sale-A-Bration paper. It helped customers decide if this was the bundle for them. (hint: it was!) 

 

 

Another way to share the bundles is to make a sampler.  On an upcoming class we are going to make this fun Penguin Place project.

 

Now while there are great samples in the catalogue - sometimes it is good to show how the stamps, punch and in this case DSP can work together - so I made this to show some different ways to put the penguins together...

Make sure you have order forms on hand and tell everyone when you are putting in your next order and who wouldn't be tempted by some cute penguins? 

I will be back very soon with a new Ready To Teach class - I am filming for it this week. 

Enjoy sharing and teaching - however you are doing that right now - and take care everyone

Fresh Ways to Share - Stampin' Up! DSP Sale

Welcome to Ready Set Demo

The DSP sale is a great offer from Stampin' Up! I thought I would do a quick video showing one way to demonstrate how to use our beautiful papers. 

One thing I have done recently is to take a fresh look at how I share DSP. I was thinking about my ladies who have a huge stack that they haven't yet used - so why do they need more, (hint: they do :)), and also for new  crafters to show them ways to get a die cut look with a Stamp & Emboss machine. 

 

I have done a short video showing how I featured two of the current sale DSP's in this way and hope you will find it helpful. It certainly generated some good sales and great comments from my lovely customers. These ideas can be shared online on a live, with pictures in a newsletter or in person if you are able to gather together.

Have you done your pre-order for the new mini catalogue and second Sale-A-Bration? So many lovely things in there. 

I will be working on some more classes for you to teach with mini catalogue goodies - but in the meantime, there are plenty of classes still available if you need a class in a hurry.

Layering Diorama Masterclass

Are you loving the new catalogue? One thing that caught my eye at once was the Layering Diorama die set on page 163. I could see at once that there were so many different ways to use this set so I couldn't wait to get my hands on them to design a class. 

Layering Diorama Masterclass

In my last class, Welcoming Windows, you let me know you loved the way the projects went from simple to more involved. You told me it meant customers ended up very confident in using their new Stampin' Up! goodies. 

I have repeated this idea with the Layering Diorama class, starting with lots of hints and tips, looking at lots of different ways to layer, different options for folds and more and including 7 card instructions for you and your customers to create. 

This is definitely a class where you or your customers can use ANY stamps in your collections along with the Layering Diorama dies. Although I show the class projects step by step as shown - just change out the stamps to make it work for you! And of course it means it can easily be taught by zoom or video or via a private facebook group as well as in person. 

My classes are designed as time savers for you as a busy demo. You can use just one project to introduce the dies at a class or party or event - or run the whole class including dies in the price to increase your sales.

Here is what is included in the class

Introductory Hints & Tips Video 

Step by step video for each of the projects 

Non-logo photographs for you to use in your business 

Ordering list per person 

Project Cutting list 

Pricing ideas sheet

The price is just £10  (Approximately $14 US).  I will email the class over as soon as I receive the order - but allow time in case I am teaching - or sleeping if we are in a different time zone :)

Launch Week Chat - and Quiet Meadow Project Ideas

Hello my Ready Set Demo friends 

I have been super busy running a launch week and getting my lovely ladies excited about the fabulous new goodies in the Stampin' Up! catalogue. 

I thought I would share a quick video showing how I share a bundle or suite and of course share some project ideas with you.  The video features one of my favourite bundles, Quiet Meadow.  (You will need to excuse over a year of lockdown hair - I see my hairdresser on 10th May!) 

Here are some of the projects I show in the video - I think this will be super popular with all our customers. 

You can also find my video from last year showing how to launch when you can't gather HERE. 

I hope you have a fantastic catalogue launch 

Love Liz X
