Tree Rings Dies 'Snow'men

 Just popping by with a fun project I made to show my lovely ladies recently. Lots of them have these dies and I was inspired by a Christmas ornament made with actual wood pieces turned in to snowmen. 

I cut the bodies using the dies - the toadstool die made a great carrot nose with a little trim and I made the scarves using the Scotty Dog stamps. The eyes, mouths and buttons were made using Basic Pearls coloured with a Basic Black Stampin' Blend or in some cases I used the Enamel Effects paint. 

I hope you like this fun project! 

My November Class Projects

Usually I share special class or with-product class projects, pre-order projects and other random tips. I wondered though whether you would be interested in seeing my regular class projects each month? 

I now teach almost 60 ladies a month, (gulp!), mostly in person in classes of up to 20, and a few each month with at home packs and videos. 

(By the way if you are wondering how I found all these ladies, you can have a look at my 'finding new customers' blog post and video here). 

Each month we make either two cards and a 3D item, or three cards with one being a fancy fold or other stepped up project. 

This month we made a Christmas Robin Card, (robins are the festive bird in the UK and we are SO excited to finally have a stamp for one), a Vintage Christmas Card and a Jolly Holly Gift Box with a cut out. 

I made a quick show and tell video on all three projects with some teaching tips included too. Also included in the video are the other projects I shared with my lovely ladies at class to show how our Stampin' Up! goodies can be used. 

If you would like the measurements for the box you can get them for free with my newsletter. Get in touch HERE and I will send you the link.  Just pop the words Holly Box in the title. 

I am off to Vienna next week to meet up with lots of my Stampin' Up! family including some of you! I can't wait. Do come and say hello and introduce yourself if you see me :)  

Until next time, take care and happy stamping

Framed Florets - some tips and tricks!

Welcome to Ready Set Demo 

If you are already on my mailing list, you have already seen the video associated with these gorgeous goodies. If you are NOT on my mailing list - please do feel free to sign up HERE. 

The Framed Florets, available to customers from 1st November are a great combination of fancy oval dies and florals. I found there were some tricks to layering and getting the best from these dies, which I included in the video below. 

I am off to Onstage in Vienna in just a few days and can't wait to find out what Stampin' Up! has in store for us over the coming months. If you are also going to an OnStage event - safe travels and if you are not - never fear I will share here as soon as I can. 

Take care until next time

Love Liz 

Another take on Fancy Folds Library part 7!

Welcome to Ready Set Demo 

I am just popping in today to give you a peek at yet another incarnation of the Fancy Folds Library cards. These were the ones I am currently teaching to my lovely ladies 

As you can see, I included a half pack of the Regals DSP and went all out with a winter theme. I love how you can make these folds work for any season or any DSP or any stamps! 

If you missed the original class ideas, you can see more HERE

Fancy Folds Library - Part 7 - another 10 cards to make and teach

Do you love a fancy fold as much as I do? My ladies know them as 'Cards that make you say Oooh!'  I have been creating and adapting another 10 projects for you - well that is 10 fancy folds and lots and lots of project ideas - you can see just some of them below. 

For this class, I created a mixture of festive and non-festive designs, but of course you can use any stamps, card or designer paper you have on hand to teach these fun projects. 

Included in the class are:

Measurements in inches worked out for A4 and US letter sizes

All printable on A4 & US paper 

18 project example photos 

A no-logo that you can use for advertising 

An introductory videos with set up ideas and hints 

A step by step video for each of the projects

I have kept my class price to just £10, which right now is about $11.50 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 love the versatility of Fancy Fold projects that can be taught as a one of card in a regular class - as a collection of 3 or 4 or you can do like me and teach them all over two classes. 

And best yet - make up a template and you can create the fold again at future classes with new goodies to make it new! 

My lovely ladies are loving these projects and I hope you and your customers will love them 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** 

Vanity Case Stationery Box - online class

Way back in 2017, I designed a Vanity Case Stationery Box. After 5 years I thought it was time to bring it back! Firstly we have 12X12 Basic Black cardstock available (woo hoo! - please let it stay) and secondly we have black dimensionals which are also very useful for this design. Finally we have the simply gorgeous Splendid Day DSP which was just crying out to be used on something special. 

Added to all of that, I have lots of new class ladies who have never made this box - and maybe some demo friends who haven't made it either! By the way for those that did buy the original 2017 class, check your inboxes because I have sent you this updated version for free. 💖

This box and cards makes a great with-product class and is also gift-able - very useful with the holiday season coming up.

Of course you can use ANY DSP, any stamps, any dies for this project and like I have, you can revive it years from now and teach it again!  

VANITY CASE STATIONERY BOX & 12 CARDS

The box can be divided to hold cards, (as shown), or can be left open as a large and fancy gift box. The design features a double width base so the lid sits nicely on the bottom of the box when closed. 

Included in the class are:

• Measurements in inches worked out for A4 and US letter sizes
• An ordering list per person
• Class pricing ideas
• Non-logo advertising photos 
• A step by step video for the box and a show & tell of the card designs

I have kept my class price to just £10, which is about $14 US (or maybe less!) 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 you enjoy this class and that it helps you with your Stampin' Up!  business.

Walt Disney World Mickey Card - Brushed Shapes & Jingle Jingle Jingle

Welcome to Ready Set Demo 

Sometimes you want to craft 'just because' ! 

This is what happens when you are a crafter and haven't been to Walt Disney World for far too long. 

Made using the Brushed Shapes dies from the big book and the Jingle Jingle Jingle stamps from the mini. I love that it shows the Jingle ones are not just for Christmas.
