Paper Florist Masterclass

Back in the summer I made some projects using the beautiful Paper Florist dies and at once you let me know you would like a class for them. 

It seemed like something we would do to spread some after-Christmas prettiness so I have been working on a range of projects for you. 

Now this is another one of those class and a half classes - 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. 




We have a introduction video where I show how to make and layer all the different flower types we are using for the class. The we have five project videos, plus a bonus video with three more projects you could make or teach. 

I have included home decor, gifting, fancy fold and regular cards in this selection. 



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:

  • A in introductory step by step video for flower creation tips
  • 5 more videos for the fancy folds & 3D projects
  • A bonus video featuring 3 extra projects for you 
  • Sizes worked out for A4 and US letter card stock sizes 
  • An ordering list if you are teaching the whole class 
  • Pricing hints and tips 
  • Non-logo photos for you to use to advertise the class and add your own information 
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**

December Class Projects and class planning tips

Any idea where the 2023 went? Is it just me that feels as though the year was a bit of a blur? 

.
 

I have just finished teaching my last class for the year and I paid for express delivery so fingers crossed my pre-order will arrive by the time you are reading this! 

Are you still deciding what to pre-order? Or are you spring classes all planned out? 

If you are on my newsletter list, check your email for a link to an exclusive video to help you with your new catalogue class planning. 

Not on my list? You can email me here and ask to go on my list and for the video link. 

.


And if you are looking some inspiration for right now, I have lots of show and tell tips for both my class projects for this month and my display projects too. I hope you enjoy this video. 

.


Do you have any questions for me? 

I get questions from time to time about running a Stampin' Up! business, about doing videos or having a blog, about Facebook or about running classes - or even about me! :) I would like to do some sort of a Q&A to answer these questions and I am still collating questions - so it is not too late to ask.  You can ask your questions by email at liz.shannon@icloud.com


I will be working over the festive season - although I am also hosting on Christmas day itself! I hope you enjoy the holidays however you are celebrating. 

I will be back before the new year with technique masterclass to get you started in January so watch out for that. 

Happy Stamping AND Happy Holidays  

Love Liz X

Black Friday - online classes sale - FOUR DAYS ONLY!

Would you like a Black Friday deal on classes?  

I have designed a lot of classes over the years including Fancy Folds, Technique classes and product based classes. 

For just four days I am offering BUY ONE GET ONE FREE on all my £10 classes 

.


This is how it works 

Between today Friday 24th and midnight mountain time on Monday 27th November - go to my classes list HERE and choose a £10 class and order as usual. 

When I send your class by email, reply to me with the name of the class you would like to receive for free and I will send it to you. EASY! 

.


FAQs 

(well not frequently because it is the first time I have done this :) but things I think you may ask....

1. Can I order more than one and receive another free class? YES For every £10 class you order you can choose a free class. 

2. Does this apply to the £36 classes? NO This is just the £10 classes

3. Does this mean you are removing older classes? MAYBE I do review older classes from time to time to see if I should remove them. So if you want it - get it :) 

4. Why are you doing a BOGOFF on classes? I have some bills coming up associated with running Ready Set Demo (Mailchimp, Tailwind, Canva etc), and hopefully this will help me towards those costs.
 

Here is a recent class I taught my lovely ladies - I hope your customers enjoy making the projects this much! :)

October Class Projects

My customers , (aka my lovely ladies), like to see versatility in a stamp set or bundle and we certainly put that into practice this month. 

We used Joy of Noel on both the cards this month - but came up with very different looking projects. 

We also made a money envelope or purse - perfect for gift giving at this time of you. If you are on my newsletter list - I have done a video with some tips and tricks for teaching these projects. And if you are not - please do join us. CLICK HERE to sign up for free monthly exclusive extras? 



If you missed it, I also shared two videos and lots of ideas for the Garden Meadow and Meandering Meadow goodies. Click here or scroll down to see more...

Online Exclusive Printables - November 2023 release

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. 

Of course they went live on a class day for me -  but by burning the candle at both ends I have them ready for English Language with prices for UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

I was sad to see we didn't have many additional sample pictures supplied by Stampin' Up! and I don't yet have all the stamps but I added some non-logo photos for you where I could. 

I also included the Heartfelt Hexagon bundle, which I believe is early release rather than online exclusive but again as we have no other printable I thought this may help you. 


This is how I have designed them:

  • Individual bundles on one page including images, descriptions, item codes (English Language), prices plus 2 project images 
  • Suites over two pages  including images, descriptions, item codes (English Language), prices plus 2 project images where available
  • Stand Alone Products 3 per sheet - NEW - renamed these to reflect the products included for easier identification
  • NEW cleaner view with most backgrounds removed from images making printing much cheaper for you
  • Printable on A4 & US letter paper 

I have kept the price at just £4 which is about $5.60 US. If you would like to purchase these printables click below to order and as soon as I see your payment I will email the printables back to you. 


Watch the short video for how I have used these printables in my classes to boost sales and how I deal with items that are not available or fully retired.

I will be back later in the week with this months class projects and more inspiration for you, but I wanted to jump in quickly with these as I know some of you are teaching this week like me :)

Garden Meadow Bundle and Meandering Meadow DSP from Stampin' Up! - some inspiration

I have been busy in my craft room with these new pre-order goodies and have some ideas, tips and more for you, my demo friends. I know you are likely designing with them too so I didn't want to wait for my upcoming newsletter to share these suggestions. 

Firstly - did you look at that arch die and think you wished it had a frame layer? I have done a hack video to show you how to make that frame without a craft knife or any fussy cutting. Have a peek here...


But that is not all... I have been creating with the stamps too and making some 3D projects and more. 


....so I made another video going into more detail including how to create the shutters, the boxes, the layering effects and more. I hope you find it inspiring - and if you are NOT already a member of our happy Ready Set Demo family - please do click here to sign up for my free newsletter for more exclusive videos, printables, ideas and more. 


I will be back here with more class ideas soon.

Two Class Options to cope with out of Stock Situations.

Oh no - it is out of stock! 

I also know that a lot of us are struggling with inventory issues - something we are going to have to work around going forward. So I have a new class and an adapted class - which I hope will help you navigate those pesky out of stock messages. 

Luxury Christmas Cards Class

I shared my Luxury Christmas Class show and tell recently. I had not planned to offer this as a Ready Set Demo class - but I asked you and some of you said yes please. So I have scrambled to write up proper measurements, done more photos, filmed videos to make sure it was in time to get to you for the festive season.  This class uses NO DSP and you could switch out the glimmer for foil or vice versa. It is pretty quick to cut and prepare so you could be offering this class to your customers soon. It features a removable tree ornament as well as foil, heat embossing and more. 

As usual your class will include 

  • Step by step videos for each project
  • Measurements worked out for A4 & US letter sizes 
  • Printables for measurements in inches
  • Printables for ordering list per customer
  • Non-logo photos that you can use in your Stampin' Up! business 

To order the class for just £10 (about $14 US) click the Paypal Button below and I will email it to your inbox. If you are not in my time zone, bear with me and will send it as soon as I wake up!) 

To watch a short video about this class CLICK HERE 


Another way to switch your class up

I heard from some of you that although you really wanted to teach my Shining Brightly class, that DSP was not in stock in your part of the world. SO I did a quick re-make and have made exactly those projects but using the Online Only Shining Christmas DSP. At the time of typing, I think that is available everywhere - and of course you could switch to another DSP that you prefer too. 

I did a bonus video to talk you through the changes I made and took some more non-logo photos. If you already purchased the class have added that to the files for you - just use the link for files in your email to find it. 

.


If you didn't choose that class before and now would like it - just CLICK HERE to visit the Ready Set Demo blog post and you will automatically get both versions for the same price.
