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:

May Class Projects

DSP Printables 
Just a reminder that the DSP Printables with all the DSP listed in the new catalogue with prices for all markets is here.

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.

April Class Projects - Delicate Forest - Zany Zoo and a Tombow Multi-Adhesive Holder!

How are you feeling about the new catalogue? Do you like the new in-colours? Are you planning launch events? 

I love lots of the new goodies in the catalogue although I think we have a learning curve to manage with the new layout. If you are on my newsletter list check your email inbox for a FREE extra bigger print index with some of the hard to find and most used items on it - and with space to spare to write in your own.

If you are NOT already on my newsletter list - why not! :) I would love to welcome you along so email me and mention the index and I will email you the details and add you to the list. 

I am going to do an all day launch and thank you event for my lovely ladies at the end of the month - so I will be busy, busy until then. Of course I will show you my new catalogue designs here too when they are done. 

Today I am sharing my April Class Projects - the fold flat Tombow Glue holder was the most popular. I designed it by special request for ladies in class whose glue was getting to the end. As I am sure you know, keeping it nose down helps.   

We also make some fun cards and I have done a show and tell video for you to see more.

Online Exclusive Printables - March 2024 release!

NEW Online Exclusives Printables 

The new online exclusives are live so once again I have made some printables for those of you who do in-person events and have customers who prefer to shop with you direct. 

.

NEW AND IMPROVED!

Thank you to everyone who has suggested improvements. I hope you will like the enhanced version.

Firstly as well as prices for the UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand NEW by request EUROs - especially for our Dutch and Irish demos who share our English catalogue. No other languages though - this is English only. 

Secondly you asked for printables with just your local price - not those from other regions. DONE! I have created separate printables for each currency. No muddled customers :) 

Thirdly I have updated fonts and used a grid system for improved clarity. I have been able to add extra products per sheet without having smaller photos. 

And finally we have DOUBLE the number of products as in the last release - so you have 11 sheets of printables to cover them all. 

The video below shows you more, includes a couple of tips about how I use them to generate sales at my in-person events. 

So - double the number of products and more personalised prints for you - did I double the price? No I didn't. You can get all 11 sheets of printables for just £6.50 - which is about $9 US.

If you would like to purchase these printables just £6.50  click below to order and as soon as I see your payment I will email them back to you. 

If you haven't seen them before, this is how I have designed them:

• Individual bundles on one page including images, descriptions, item codes (English Language), prices in your local currency
• Suites over two pages  including images, descriptions, item codes (English Language), prices in your local currency 
• Stand Alone Products 3 or 4 per sheet - named these to reflect the products included for easier identification
• Cleaner view with dark backgrounds removed from images making printing much cheaper for you
• Printable on A4 & US letter paper 

Here is a little bit of inspiration from the pre-order goodies I already have. First a trio of projects using the Little Latte bundle. Using Blends over the mugs gave more of a 3D look. 

These are the Zinnia ones - I particularly like the little die cut flowers which could be overlooked.
