Birds & Branches / Free as a Bird Online Class - Teach by Post or in person

This post and class was originally shared during 2020 full lockdown - but of course now you can also teach it in person :) 

Today I am sharing another online class for you, suitable to be a class by post and I hope it will be helpful to you at this time.

Whether your customers are internet savvy or completely offline - you can teach this using the materials I am providing in this class. It features a pretty bird box with a hinge lid that stores up to 12 3X3 notecards and envelopes! 

You can teach it right now using the Free as a Bird Stamp Set or you can order today and get ready to teach it in June using the fabulous Birds & Branches stamp set- available on pre-order. Now you know I can't show you that one as I type (it is May 9th) - but you can find it on page 120 of the new catalogue. 

**NOW UPDATED to add photos and tips sheet for the Birds & Branches version! 

I included the Free as a Bird stamps - but with Birds & Branches you can also offer an option for your customers to upgrade to the bundle price to include the dies! 

Once again there are options with the cards. I am teaching this class by post right now using the retiring Best Dressed 3X3 cards – my customers are getting 12 cards and envelopes in their kits. But below you can see an option you can offer with plain white 3X3 cards and the 3 1/8" square envelopes that are carry over. 

The bird box looks beautiful and you can choose from a range of embossing folder options and colours to suit your customers. My class by post has been super popular with my lovely class ladies, currently all locked down at home. 

Teaching Options for this class by post 

Of course you can make your own videos of these projects, (check out my tips video on doing this if you want to try),  but I am offering two other options to help you share this class with your customer

•  A printable featuring non-logo photos with simple instructions so that customers with no internet access can still join the class 

•  No-logo videos filmed especially for you to share with your customers encouraging them to connect with you as their demo - but saving you a couple of days or more of videoing and editing. See more about these options in the video below. 

The video mainly focuses on the construction of the bird house and I show the various card options – but it will all feature the Free as a Bird stamps as that is what I have on hand right now. I will mention that your customers may be using another super cute bird stamp set! 

BONUS coming soon for anyone who buys this class! As soon as my Birds & Branches bundle arrives, I will update the photos and projects to show it using the new bundle and make the no-logo photos available to you. I will email you directly to let you know when they are available. ***NOW UPDATED - you will get these updated photos and a tips document when you receive your class.

In addition you will receive all the usual goodies from me

• Measurements for all the projects in inches worked out for US Letter and A4 sizes 

• Non-logo photos for advertising the class 

•  List of items to order PLUS pricing ideas and hints and tips included

• Everything printable on US letter or A4 paper with correct local spellings :) 

How much is all this? Well as usual I would rather keep it affordable for you – especially in these challenging times. So this class is just £10 (apx $13 US) and you can order it right now whichever option you are doing. Click the button below to order and I will pop the class into your email box. I do it asap, but if we are in a different time zone it may take a couple of hours for me to wake up:)

My next steps - keeping our Stampin' Up! businesses going during lockdown

Welcome to Ready Set Demo

Welcome to Ready Set Demo.  Well this is a very difficult time for so many of us with worries we could never have envisaged a short time ago.  I am trying my best to keep my business going without the face to face classes that are the core of Elizabeth's Craft Room. If you have a mostly or wholly online business, this video is probably not going to be helpful to you - this is for those, like me, who are having to re-invent themselves fast to get through this. I have put this video together to describe the practical steps I have taken so far. This was filmed 2 days ago - things have been a bit crazy here - but since then I have the following updates.  The UK has experienced a further lock down but right now mailing classes for a business purpose is still allowed. I will continue to check daily and we will of course comply fully with any further rules. So far 80% of my class customers have signed up for postal classes and many want with-product classes too. I am humbled and grateful to them all. Our warehouse and UPS /DHL are still operating more or less normally observing required distancing but I hear there are some places in France where they may not deliver. I hope the video will help you take the next steps and I will be back as soon as I can with more practical ideas for you. In the meantime this is the link for currently available classes - as I mentioned I will be turning to my technique classes and fancy folds for the basis of my postal classes. Take care of yourselves and stay safe.  Love Liz X
