Let's Go Shopping Masterclass

As soon as I saw the Les Shoppes suite including the Let's Go Shopping bundle I could see this could be a fun class. 

When I started using the dies and stamps, I realised there is actually a lot to share here with lots and lots of hints and tips for getting the best from the bundle. 

Now this is a class and a half - I wouldn't suggest you teach all these projects in one go unless you are running a retreat - but they make a great display and you could definitely pick your favourites to teach in a special class. 


In order to share all the tips I learned, I have put together 6 little videos showing step by step all the different ways you can use the bundle. 

On top of that we have four fancy fold / 3D projects each with their own video. 


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



The class is just £10 delivered to your inbox, and includes all the following:

  • 6 step by step videos for all creative hints & tips
  • 4 more videos for the fancy folds & 3D projects 
  • Sizes worked out for A4 and US letter card stock sizes 
  • Non-logo photos for you to use to advertise the class and add your own information 
  • Reference photos of all the projects 
If you would like to order the class just click below and I will send it over to your email inbox. 

ORDER HERE  for just £10 (about $14 US) 


I hope you enjoy this class and that it helps you with your Stampin' Up!  business. 




**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**

June Class Projects & Scenic Wonders Technique Video

It seems like only a moment ago I was sharing my May class projects, (OK I was a bit late with those!), and now I am back again with the June offering. 

We focussed on creating some 'masculine' type cards as opposed to the flowering ones I seem to have been addicted to recently! 

We used the Earthen textures stamps, dies and DSP to make the first card. My lovely ladies could choose to make it a birthday or thank you card in class. The second project used Scenic Wonders - more on that in a moment - and the third was a cute card for any book-lover made with the Birds Eye View stamps. 


If you are on my newsletter list - check your email inbox for your exclusive video on these cards. 


You can also sign up for my newsletter HERE - so you never miss out on free offerings from me. 


How do you get on with the distINKtive stamps - like those in the Scenic Wonders stamp set? I have had a bit of a love-hate relationship with them in the past - but I think I have found a way for anyone to love them.

I have done a video for you, my demo friends, to show different ways to add colour and get a range of looks using these stamps. You can find the video HERE.  


I hope you find the video helpful - do you think it will help you find the love for distINKtive stamps? Or did you love them already?

May Class Projects

Well with all the flurry of new catalogue launch, I almost forgot to share my May class projects with you...! 

They feature the all new goodies with a simple fancy fold and two other fun cards. 

For the first we used the Lazy Days stamps - the middle one we did a layered Cheerful Daisies card and the last if our fantastic Crafting with You bundle.

For my newsletter demo friends - check your email inboxes for a video link for these three cards with some teaching tips.

My launch event / thank you party day - NEW Catalogue 2023 - Colour Refresh & More

Well it was a busy few weeks getting ready - but my first all-day Elizabeth's Craft Room Retreat went down a storm with my lovely ladies!  Apologies for the photo and video heavy post here.

We did launch party activities in the morning where I talked through the colour refresh, shared some of my favourite new products and offered my customers the chance to partake of my launch promotion 'Liz's Lovely Launch Loot. 

If you haven't heard of this before, it is a way of me clearing out my retired, pre-loved Stampin' Up! goodies and my ladies getting free items to take home when they order. I run it like Sale-A-Bration so they pick one retired stamp set for a £45 order or a bundle or two stamp sets for £90. 

To see a 3 minute video of our day - click here. 


I always get questions about my display stands. I made them myself using old fashion metal laundry airers and foam board. Unlike commercial velcro boards they are light and I can easily get my cards lined up straight - which makes my brain happy! LOL 

For my ladies the most ordered item was the Crafting with You bundle, second was the Cheerful Daisies bundle and third and fourth respectively were the Bubble Bath and Lemon Lolly ink pads.  

Here are some of my favourite display projects - feel free to CASE (copy and share everything!) 

After a lovely lunch. we made 5 little projects including a reverse colouring Cheerful Daisies card and a new colour sampler. Just for information while almost all my ladies made the other projects only about half made the colour sampler. It is always interesting to note what is popular isn't it? 


Finally another popular stand was the sign up for my latest fancy folds class featuring the Countryside Inn DSP and 10 fun fold cards. I had so many sign up, I am going to need to squeeze 3 extra tables in my teaching room! 

And you can teach it too! Find out more about this ready-to-teach class HERE. 


I hope you had or will have a good launch event - small or large, online or in person - sharing what we love is the best way to build your business and make Stampin' Up! friends for life!

I thought I would pop in and share the three projects we made at class this month.

Making a 'standard' tree using the Framed Florets stamps

It is that tricky time of year - we have our eye on the new catalogue - but our customers can't get their hands on those goodies for another month! 

So it is a great time to share something they can enjoy right now! I recently taught this special class to make luxury cards with some gold layering, heat embossing, stamping on Window Sheet and more. 



The class included some of the stunning Seaside Bay papers, but I designed a range of projects so they were not all seaside related. 


The masking technique card was one of the most popular - and my particular favourite. This is made using a stamp that looks nothing like the finished image on the card. 



After sharing the cards on social media, I got some messages asking how I had created this one so I made a quick video to share how to make the 'standard' style flowering tree using the Framed Florets stamps.  You can see the video HERE.
