Two Class Options to cope with out of Stock Situations.

Oh no - it is out of stock! 

I also know that a lot of us are struggling with inventory issues - something we are going to have to work around going forward. So I have a new class and an adapted class - which I hope will help you navigate those pesky out of stock messages. 

Luxury Christmas Cards Class

I shared my Luxury Christmas Class show and tell recently. I had not planned to offer this as a Ready Set Demo class - but I asked you and some of you said yes please. So I have scrambled to write up proper measurements, done more photos, filmed videos to make sure it was in time to get to you for the festive season.  This class uses NO DSP and you could switch out the glimmer for foil or vice versa. It is pretty quick to cut and prepare so you could be offering this class to your customers soon. It features a removable tree ornament as well as foil, heat embossing and more. 

As usual your class will include 

• Step by step videos for each project
• Measurements worked out for A4 & US letter sizes 
• Printables for measurements in inches
• Printables for ordering list per customer
• Non-logo photos that you can use in your Stampin' Up! business 

To order the class for just £10 (about $14 US) click the Paypal Button below and I will email it to your inbox. If you are not in my time zone, bear with me and will send it as soon as I wake up!)

Another way to switch your class up

I heard from some of you that although you really wanted to teach my Shining Brightly class, that DSP was not in stock in your part of the world. SO I did a quick re-make and have made exactly those projects but using the Online Only Shining Christmas DSP. At the time of typing, I think that is available everywhere - and of course you could switch to another DSP that you prefer too. 

I did a bonus video to talk you through the changes I made and took some more non-logo photos. If you already purchased the class have added that to the files for you - just use the link for files in your email to find it. 

.

If you didn't choose that class before and now would like it - just CLICK HERE to visit the Ready Set Demo blog post and you will automatically get both versions for the same price.

Shining Brightly / Shining Christmas Festive Decor Class

Since offering this class some of my demo friends reached out to say that although they loved the class in the Shining Brightly DSP, that was not available at the moment in their markets...so I did a quick re-design. I have added another video and lots of photos so you can make the projects using Shining Christmas (online exclusive currently available) instead. I hope this helps. If you have already got the class - I added these extras free for you - just click on your original files link to find them. 

Would you like to make and teach this class using the Oh Holy Night suite of products from Stampin' Up! ? 

The class includes three sizes of Origami Christmas tree, a tall twisty box, table favour boxes, cutlery holders (which could be used to gift money or tickets), and name place napkin holders - and of course the Night Devine decor piece in an 8" embroidery frame. 

I have included some extra printables for this class including a step by step photo tutorial for the trees and a handy template for the tall twisted box. I think you will find both helpful if you teach these projects in class. 

You can click the image below to see a bit more in this little video if you would care to...

The class is just £10, (about $14 US)  delivered to your inbox, and includes all the following:

• Step by step videos for each project 
• Cutting & Teaching Tips Video 
• Sizes worked out for A4 and US letter card stock sizes
  
• Printables for measurements
  
• Printables for ordering list per customer
  
• Class pricing ideas 
• Non-logo photos for you to use to advertise the class and add your own information 
• EXTRA Origami Trees Photo Tutorial Printable
  
• EXTRA Tall Twisty Box Cutting & ScoringTemplate 
  

If you would like the class for £10 click the button to order securely by Paypal.

As soon as I see your payment I will send your class straight to your email inbox. Note: this is a manual system so if you are ordering in another time zone from me or while I am teaching, I will send it as soon as I am free/awake! :)

September Class Projects - After Class Party Video - New Stampin' Up! 2023 Sept-Dec Catalogue

Back from Backstage

When I became a Stampin' Up! demonstrator almost 15 years ago, I knew I wanted to run a craft business but I never thought it would lead me to being able to attend events with my fellow demos like OnStage and BackStage. If this sounds like a dream for you - keep going for it - with determination and work it really is possible! 

I travelled to Las Vegas with one of my team - lovely Tracy McDonnell - she is a selfie expert as you can see above! We had the opportunity to get some amazing training and meet lots of demonstrators (and some of you my Ready Set Demo friends too!) I look forward to being able to share some of what I learned with my team and with you too with some exclusive free videos for those on my newsletter list. 

This was the swap I made - I managed to get 60 done and squeezed into my suitcase... The front circle portion was on a pin so it could be removed and worn on a lanyard or swag bag. 

September Class Projects

Because of needing to get these done early you will see very little from the new catalogue in this month's regular class projects. I have done an exclusive video for you though to talk about the simple fancy folds we used which you can absolutely use with new goodies like the Rocking Horse bundle with the diorama card or the new Wishes All Around wreath instead of the Cottage Wreath version.

If you are on my newsletter list check your email inboxes for your exclusive how to video. 

After Class Party 

I shared lots of ideas, demos and more at my after class parties this month. Have a look at the little video linked below. Again newsletter crew check your inboxes for some extra tips and ideas if you would like to do this!

Not on my newsletter list yet? You are always welcome to join us. You can sign up here for monthly updates, inspiration and more especially designed for Stampin' Up! demonstrators.  

I filmed the projects I shared for those who couldn't attend on the day and you can watch that video to see the sort of thing I share.

Very Quick Update

I have a quick (chatty and unscripted!) video explaining it all but briefly - I highly recommend the 14 day social media challenge Stampin' Up! have paid for us to do. It is not too late and I talk more about it in the video.  (You may see yourself on there too!)

I have been offering the quarterly printables for the online exclusive goodies for a small £4 fee. I have heard from you, and I know from my own experience, how handy these are for those of us who teach face to face. 

However it now seems Stampin' Up! are going to give us even more regular online offerings - we have 6 fabulous new products this month! I am not sure going forward how I am going to be producing these - but on this occasion, and as a thank you to all of you, I am providing these printables free of charge to everyone.  

You can print your flyers for the 6 new products HERE. 

Please note: 
The pricings on the flyers are in UK pounds, US, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand dollars and the stamps are the English language versions.

August Class Projects Show & Tell - PLUS free training video - how I get it all done!

August Class Projects 

Was it only me?  I didn't notice how gorgeous the Paper Florist Dies were until I started seeing other demos make fantastic things with them! I think it is one of those times when we know why demonstrators are such a key part of the Stampin' Up! business.

Anyway fired up with their creativity, I made not only the class project (on the left above), but lots more sample projects to share with my lovely customers and of course with you. You can see more in the video HERE, but if you would like me to design an whole class with these dies - let me know. I will put it on my to-do list. 

Exclusive for my Ready Set Demo Newsletter Friends 

When I was planning topics for our recent team retreat day, one subject that was requested was how to plan, schedule and balance our workloads as Stampin' Up! demonstrators. This was a big topic and if there are requests I will put something together for all of you.

I have put this short video together for you and you will find the link in your August newsletter. If you are NOT on my newsletter list and would like to join and get this video link - please email me at liz.shannon@icloud.com and I will add you and send the video over. 

 

I am currently using these tips to keep focussed on designing a new class festive class - hopefully I will get it out to you this month.

Oh and I am also off to Las Vegas for BackStage. SOOOO exciting as I have only done BackStage online before. If you are going - come and say hello - I would love to meet you.
