Frosted Forest Tips and Tricks Video

Just a quick post today to share two videos I have done for you. First I have some tips and tricks for using the Frosted Forest masks. 

I had a play and found a way to get a more 'dappled' effect on my tree - I think you will like it but see what you think. 

I will also share a show and tell about the other projects I made using the bundle. 

You watch the video HERE. 



Secondly I had some requests for more detail about how I got the best from the Rest Relax Enjoy stamps - so as your wish is my command here is another tips and tricks video.

Rest Relax Enjoy - class projects - how to videos and more

Would you like to make a gift card holder that really pops? I designed this box to work with the Pocket Thoughts dies and Rest Relax Enjoy stamps to create a floating element inside the box. My class ladies loved it, so I thought I would film it for you. You can see the video here. 




Other projects are shown in the video including some tips on my display projects using the same stamp set and get the most from the Rest Relax Enjoy stamps. 



We also made a simple masking project using the Attention Shoppers goodies. 


And a blast from the not-so-distant past - we made a card using Cheerful Daisies brought right up to date with Petunia Pop cardstock and ink. 


EXTRA  EXTRA  EXTRA 

As promised for those of you who purchased the Online Exclusive Printables - I have some more sample projects shareables for you. I have added a no-logo selection of projects made using the Frosted Forest bundle to the files. Feel free to share them with you customers on your private groups or in person.  I will be back with a how to video in a week or so too. 


COMING SOON 

I have been working on some Mini Catalogue DSP / Bling / Ribbon printables for you to use in your in person events. To keep within the Stampin' Up! rules, I can't offer these until the catalogue is about to go live to customers - so keep tuned. 


PREVIOUSLY SHARED 

Thank you for your kind comments about how much you learned from my video about the Glass Mat Studio.  My lovely ladies were inspired to order after seeing it and I do say in the video to 'contact your demonstrator to order' - so feel free to share with your customers if it saves you having to film your own version!

Video Tutorial for Front Pop Up Card - From Our Home + July Projects

As promised I am back with some more project inspiration from my July classes. 

I had some feedback that you would like to see some of my class projects created on video rather than just a show and tell - so that is what I have done this month with one that needs a little more explanation. 


This is a simple fancy fold but the key part is knowing where to stamp to get the street running along the back as well as on the front. CLICK HERE to see how along with a show and tell of two more projects. 

 


I made some sample projects for display at class to feature the Perennial Postage Dies (how had I missed them in the spring catalogue?) 


And I also created more projects with the Pocket Thoughts bundle. On the Attention Shoppers bottle one at the end I used a medium pocket on the back of the pull out from the big pocket for a gift card. 



ONLINE EXCLUSIVE PRINTABLES 

Our new July 2024 printables and bonus project printables are now available.  CLICK HERE to find out more.

To order the 12 sheets of printables & bonus samples for just £6.50 (apx $8.50 US), please click below and I will personally email them to your inbox. 

 
INSPIRATION 

I love the new Changing Leaves Hybrid Bundle - so that was the first thing I played with. The sampler shows embossed and debossed, embossed and die cut, stamped and die cut and stand alone die cuts too. 



My sample cards were created as a contrast to the autumn colours. I used Bubblebath and Soft Sea Foam with a contrast colour of Pecan Pie for greetings etc. Most of the elements were die cut in Basic White and then I coloured using Blending Brushes and the inks to get a super soft effect. 

The larger card is A4 folded in half but you could also use US letter for a similar effect. 



I hope you like the projects and find the printables useful in your Stampin' Up! business. 


SIXTEEN WAYS TO USE THE STAMPIN' GLASS MAT STUDIO 

I was getting lots of questions from my lovely ladies so on a class week (!) I quickly filmed this video showing no less than 16 ways to use the new Glass Mat.

In this video I encourage viewers to contact their own Stampin' Up! demo - so feel free to share it with your customers - or by all means film your own version. To watch click HERE - or to share with your customers, team or demo friends use this link https://youtu.be/8R6rtJJdZO8

June Class Projects - Tune In - Spotlight on Nature - Labelled with Love from the NEW Stampin' Up! catalog

This post will be photo heavy and I hope it will offer some inspiration to you. Scroll down for the show and tell video sharing some teaching tips and a couple more of the samples I made. 

I am REALLY excited that we got to choose punch or dies with two of the stamp sets (spoiler I chose punches with both!) What about you? 

This card made with Labelled with Love was super simple to create. I love how the Pretty in Pink and Summer Splash co-ordinate. 


Next we have Spotlight on Nature. We created the ver simple easel card. The use of Basic Beige is a bit washed out in this photo but see below for the ones I created for display 


Do you like this new colour? In theory Basic Beige sounds unexciting but I LOVE it. Zoom in to see the detail that I got using our gorgeous stamps both on the white layers and tone on tone to create the background elements. 


And now on to my Tune in Samples. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this fun retro stamp set and made a selection of samples using it. If you are of a certain age and from the UK, you will see I created one with a BBC test card effect! Did your TV look like this?

FREE Printable of ALL the Punches - for all markets. PLUS tips for a successful catalogue launch

Hello my fellow Stampin' Up! demos

I don't usually email you more than twice in a month - but I have heard some of you are waiting for this...

Free Punch Printable! 
This is a two page printable of all the punches with items codes for the 24-25 catalogue and online exclusive but excluding the ones that are in clearance - as those vary around the world. 



The prices are shown for all markets and while the descriptions are in English hopefully they will work where ever you are. The printable is done in Word and is non-logo and fully editable so you can take out any currencies that are not relevant if you wish and add your own logo or information. 

Get your printable HERE.  


How to run a successful launch event 
I ran my first launch event with a few people around my dining room table 15 years ago. This year was my biggest ever with over 40 lovely ladies in attendance. 

Stampin' Up! Launch Party

Large or small running a launch event for a new catalogue can really help your business. I know it may be too late for some this year, but I will pop this updated video in our 'build your business' section so you can refer back. 

If you haven't done a launch event for the new book however - it is not too late! Go for it and let me know how you get on.
