Fancy Folds Library Part 9

WE HAVE MOVED! You can find this class on our new website HERE.

Well here we go with a brand new Fancy Folds class - this time featuring the Beary Christmas DSP and a selection stamps from the new mini catalogue. 

I often from you that you love to pick a fancy folds card and teach it in any season with whatever DSP and stamps you wish to use. I tend to teach 5 in one go - but I have also heard so some demos turning the whole class into a weekend retreat and teaching all 10 projects. 

So if you are are ever short of that WOW card to tempt your customers to come to class and don't have the time to research and figure out all the measurements - then this class is for you. 

This time we have 10 Fancy Folds an Art Deco Accordion Fold, a Clutch Purse card and a Hexagon Spring Box Card. 

Included in the class are:

• Measurements in inches worked out for A4 and US letter sizes
• All printable on A4 & US paper 
• Project photos - no-logo that you can use for advertising 
• An introductory videos with set up ideas and hints 
• A step by step video for each of the projects
• A per-person ordering list for the whole class
• Class pricing ideas and tips
• Plus a BONUS of two sizes for the Hexagon card for square & regular envelopes

I have kept my class price to just £10, which right now is about $14 US depending on today's Paypal exchange rates.

WE HAVE MOVED! You can find this class on our new website HERE.

If you missed Fancy Folds parts 1-8, all those classes are still available too. You can find them listed and linked at the end of this email.  Altogether that is 116 Fancy Folds! 

I really hope you enjoy these projects and I hope your customers will love them too. 

Happy stamping 

Love Liz X

August Class Projects Show & Tell - PLUS free training video - how I get it all done!

August Class Projects 

Was it only me?  I didn't notice how gorgeous the Paper Florist Dies were until I started seeing other demos make fantastic things with them! I think it is one of those times when we know why demonstrators are such a key part of the Stampin' Up! business.

Anyway fired up with their creativity, I made not only the class project (on the left above), but lots more sample projects to share with my lovely customers and of course with you. You can see more in the video HERE, but if you would like me to design an whole class with these dies - let me know. I will put it on my to-do list. 

Exclusive for my Ready Set Demo Newsletter Friends 

When I was planning topics for our recent team retreat day, one subject that was requested was how to plan, schedule and balance our workloads as Stampin' Up! demonstrators. This was a big topic and if there are requests I will put something together for all of you.

I have put this short video together for you and you will find the link in your August newsletter. If you are NOT on my newsletter list and would like to join and get this video link - please email me at liz.shannon@icloud.com and I will add you and send the video over. 

 

I am currently using these tips to keep focussed on designing a new class festive class - hopefully I will get it out to you this month.

Oh and I am also off to Las Vegas for BackStage. SOOOO exciting as I have only done BackStage online before. If you are going - come and say hello - I would love to meet you.

Vintage Book Box Online Class - revisited!

WE HAVE MOVED! You can find this class on our new website HERE.

Recently I was having a look at my past online classes to see what had been most popular and I was surprised that one of my favourite designs ever hadn't had much love. 

I wondered why and looking on my class list I found one reason - after one post I never shared it again. It was missed off the class list online and the video for it was unlisted! Oh my goodness! Why was this - well this class went out in March 2020 when the world went mad! My newsletters and videos were more about sharing ideas for keeping our in-person businesses going during lockdown. 

Anyway - fast forward to July 2023 and I decided to give my Vintage Book Box Online Class a make-over. While you could make these pretty and useful storage or gift boxes in any DSP - they were calling out to be made in the Earthen Elegance DSP. 

Here is a NEW video talking about the class and showing how you can make it with 2023 DSP, Stamps and dies. 

For those who purchased this class back in the day - you get the refresh for free - just go to the original dropbox files link for an extra updates teaching video and new logo free photos. 

As usual with my classes this one includes: 

• Measurements for all sizes of book box in inches 
• Videos for how to make the boxes 
• An all new 2023 updates video showing some tips for making these boxes with current Stampin' Up! products
• An ordering list for each customer (change out for whichever DSP & Ribbon you choose) 
• Non-logo photos of both the original projects AND the updated 2023 versions 
• Bonus - because it was in lockdown we also have written instructions for this class  

So if you missed out back on that single share in 2020 - you are very welcome to buy the orignal class with all the 2023 updated materials for the same price of £10 - about $14 US. 

WE HAVE MOVED! You can find this class on our new website HERE.

I hope you like these projects - I really enjoyed making them again and I hope you enjoy making or re-making them too. 

Let's Go Shopping Masterclass

WE HAVE MOVED! You can find this class on our new website HERE.

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 

WE HAVE MOVED! You can find this class on our new website HERE.

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.   

If you are NOT on my newsletter list - why ever not? :) 

It is free and you are very welcome to join us and receive one or two emails a month with some exclusive offerings just for you. You can sign up for my newsletter HERE. 

And if you missed my 60 second Designer Pens how to video - you can find it HERE....it has a crazy amount of views, so I am guessing it is popular! 

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!
