Just for my fellow demos - 2 easy to teach projects

Welcome to Ready Set Demo




Brrr - it is COLD here in Southampton, England today! This is the view from my craft room...

....so I am staying here in the warm, writing to you, making a video and designing some projects for my upcoming classes.





I have made a video especially for my fellow demos on how to make two very easy-to-teach projects that have led on to more sales at the class.

I called the class 'Neat and Pretty' and it included 4 cards, an adhesive holder and a storage tin.













**edited to add - thank you for your lovely comments. The size of my tin is approx. 5 1/2" X 4" X 1 3/4" deep - but any small tin would work just fine. **

We also made 4 cards at class using Stampin' Blends and the Petal Passion DSP. (pic below the video) The class was was quick to prep, quick to teach and the ladies loved it.




I hope you have a great 'rest of Sale-A-Bration' and I will be back soon with some new Ready to Teach classes. 

Love Liz X

Teaching my READY TO TEACH

Welcome to Ready Set Demo

I am just back from a lovely Disney holiday and came across the pictures I took just before I left. This was the second class I taught featuring my Painted with Love Vanity Case and cards.



We actually created all these goodies in under 3 hours and my only helper was my DH Mike who made tea and coffee.



The ladies were very proud of their projects - 2 of them were brand new crafters too!



These were the kits I did for them. As the product included earned me lots of Sale-A-Bration goodies - I split the Memories and More packs and shared them out so they got half a pack each. I made them a little gift box for the smaller ones and the extra mini cards - because my lovely ladies are worth it! :)



Such a fun morning.  If you haven't seen the class details you can find them here.

READY TO TEACH - VANITY CASE PAINTED WITH LOVE CLASS



VANITY CASE PAINTED WITH LOVE CLASS


Your existing and new customers will LOVE to create this super cute vanity box and 10 cards and as well as having a goody bag of DSP, cards and bling to take home. 

Are you ready to join me and increase your sales and income while making your customers happy? 

With product classes take work. I spend lots of time designing, measuring, planning and producing advertising for my very successful with-product classes - now you don't have to! 


Pay securely with Paypal and you will receive your class in your email inbox within 24 hours - usually much sooner.  


Why teach with-product classes?  

The biggest change I have made to my business over the past few years is including Stampin' Up! product within the class fee. It is largely due to this that I reached number 9 for sales in the UK  - and I run a traditional class based business - no online sales have helped in that achievement.

  • Full video tutorials 
  • Advertising and preparation hints & tips

ONLINE CLASS LAUNCH - EMBOSSING PASTE TECHNIQUES


Today I am launching my new ONLINE CLASS- featuring 12 Embossing Paste Techniques.

I am confident you will find some here you have never seen...and as the paste is very versatile and because it drys so fast it is perfect for classes and demonstrations and all sorts of projects. This online class can be an add-on to my original techniques class - or can be a stand alone class.

It is designed to be used with the Memories and More system and includes printable instructions that fit your file or can be given out to customers,  (A4 and US paper sizes), layout photos and of course 12 step by step videos.

Especially for demonstrators, there is also a video on different ways of teaching this class and sharing the techniques with your customers and a way of printing just one technique 9 times on one sheet for when you are just teaching a single project.



**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** 

Find out more by watching the video or order now by simply by clicking below and selecting the stamper or demonstrator option.

Click Now to purchase this class for just £10. It will be sent to you within 24 hours - usually much faster.

If you have any questions, let me know.

Five Ways with the Lots to Love Framelits

Welcome to Ready Set Demo

I am excited because this is my first proper post on my new blog aimed at inspiring and serving my fellow demonstrators! If you were already a subscriber to my demonstrators newsletter, you saw these creations just after Christmas - and thank you for so many sweet comments!

If you haven't joined yet - you can sign up for my newsletter especially for demos here. 


Sometimes you come across a Stampin' Up! product that is just not getting the love it needs from the catalogue and the Lots to Love Framelits are a case in point.



Just look at all the things you can make with the main die in this set! Below you will find my video showing how to create all these goodies. Enjoy! 





Love Liz

Why teach with-product classes?  The biggest change I have made to my business over the past few years is including Stampin' Up! product within the class fee. It is largely due to this that I reached number 9 for sales in the UK  - and I run a traditional class based business - no online sales have helped in that achievement.  

I spend a great deal of time designing, measuring, planning and producing advertising for my very successful with-product classes. Would you be interested in buying a class that is ready to teach featuring new catalogue products that will wow your customers? It will include 
  • Full video instructions
  • Advertising and prep hints & tips 
  • Teaching hints & tips 
  • Ordering and cutting sheet including class profit calculations for those of you who like numbers 
  • Editable flyer ready for you to share
  • Non-logo photos ready for social media and blog use 

A lot of demos have kindly said how much they have enjoyed and benefited from my regular Online Classes - so I am including them here too. It warms my heart to hear how demos from around the world have taught their first class, or their most successful class, as a result of using my ideas, designs or techniques.



Virtual Team Leader services.  Some of us are blessed with a wonderful team leader who shares business tips and gives easy to follow guidance for how to grow our businesses. Others are not so lucky. Their leader is not a business demo or has dropped or for other reasons is not able to help.
I have been offering business training to those of my team who are keen to earn more from their enterprises. In all cases those who have taken up the offer have DOUBLED or TREBLED their businesses as a result.

There is a lot of training for online sales but I feel there is less help available to those of us wish to run a traditional Stampin' Up! business and enjoy escaping from the computer being able to inspire create and share in person.

To be able to help more demonstrators succeed, I have a service coming that will fill that gap for a modest price. I am working on subjects such as 
  • How to Plan for the Stampin' Up! business that is right for you
  • How to find customers 
  • How to run a profitable class 
  • How to plan and run a with product class 
  • How to run a traditional workshop 
  • Advertising and promotion 
  • Using social media for a traditional business
  • How to sell at classes 
  • Recruiting and working with new recruits
  • Successful catalogue launch events 
  • Delighting and retaining your customers 
If you have any special requests for training - do let me know.
