Fancy Folds Library - New Online Class

Today I am offering a new online class featuring 36 different fancy folds and wow cards. The picture below shows just some of them! I am calling it the Fancy Folds Library - or Cards that make you say Ooooh!



Whether you are creating for yourself or teaching a class - the Fancy Fold Library will save you time and effort as all the working out is done for you.

I have tested this with some of my team who teach and they have told me they have found they can create wow projects in minutes instead of hours - saving time and money.

Here is what is included
  • ·     All cutting and scoring measurements for each project - all in inches for both A4 and US Letter sizes 
  • ·     A printable sheet for each of the 36 cards with instructions, hints and tips - and  you are welcome to share these at class with your customers!
  • ·     step by step video for how to make the templates 
  • ·     An example card shown on the video for you to make or teach
  • ·     Printable photos of each project example for your reference 
  • ·     Bonus measurements for standard A4 and US Letter cards and layers
  • ·     Printable index 
  • ·    Hints and Tips video  -including ideas for how to use these fancy cards to help grow your Stampin' Up!  business 

To find out more - watch the video below 




If you would like to receive this 36 card class you can click the button to pay securely using Paypal. 

The price is just £36 - yes just £1 per project! I will email the class over as soon as I receive the order - but allow time in case I am teaching - or sleeping if we are in a different time zone :) 



For my US demo friends - Paypal exchange varies, but at the time of writing £36 looks like about $47 US 

**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** 


If you have any questions, do get in touch here, I am happy to help.

Nine Lives Sampler Screen

Welcome to Ready Set Demo

Our Stampin' Up! catalogue is great, but sometimes we as demonstrators can do even better in showing the versatility of our products.

Nine Lives for me was a case in point. I wanted to show how to layer the stamps with different colours to give a whole range of kitties!

The video shows this as well as simple how-to instructions for making the screen.




If you are new to this blog - welcome! It is especially for you as a Stampin' Up! demo. I encourage you to sign up for my newsletter here so I can give you a heads up when I have something useful to share....never more than twice a month!

You can also find plenty of online classes on my class tab including my newest one, Butterfly Birdhouse.

Why teach with product classes? 

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


Your existing and new customers will LOVE to learn how to make these gorgeous projects and you will get great sales from the Stampin' Up! products you use 


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

NEW Cling Stamps - assembling my first one!

Welcome to Ready Set Demo

Oh my goodness - just back from an amazing OnStage Local in the UK and I couldn't wait to try the new Cling Stamps. These are going to be replacing both Clear Mount and Wood Mount in the new Spring/Summer or Seasonal catalogue and in the Sale-A-Bration brochure with a transition over the next 6 months for all stamps.

Oh and this is one of the stamp sets from the upcoming catalogue - isn't it beautiful?



I think North America gets to keep wood a little longer - but for me I am happy because my customers won't order wood by accident and have me call poor demo support to do exchange after exchange!

SO - I was excited to try - but a bit nervous too. Come and see how I get on (hint: I LOVE them!)

A little trumpet blowing....

Welcome to Ready Set Demo

It may be an English thing - but I don't really feel comfortable discussing my sales ranking on my customer facing Facebook posts. And I don't want my relatively small customer base to think they are spending too much! LOL

But I feel here we are all amongst friends and I can share :)

After a difficult year during which we lost my lovely Daddy - I am proud to have kept my business not only going but growing!

During the 2017-18 year I ranked :

# 9 in UK sales
# 18 overall in the UK - up from 35 last year.


Congratulations to all of you who ranked this year - no-one does this stuff without putting in the hard hours whether your business is traditional class based like mine or online. Share in the comments where you ranked so we can cheer you on! 

And if you would like to see your name rising up the top performers list next year - I will be back soon with free business ideas and time-saving online classes designed for you to teach. 

Love Liz

Success at Fairs, Craft Shows, Markets and County Shows

Welcome to Ready Set Demo


I have been promising some virtual training to help you grow your business – thank you to those that gave me a gentle nudge to get on with this!  😁

After considering various options, I have decided to share some FREE training videos with anyone who is interested. 

Success at Fairs, Craft Shows, Markets and County Shows

Have you ever done a show to promote your Stampin' Up!  business and been disappointed with the results? 

Or maybe you would like to do a show and would like some hints and tips on how to be successful first time? 

I have done many events over the years and learned lots of lessons – the most recent show I did with my team member Tracy earned us 

  • ·     12 paid class bookings
  • ·     An ongoing weekly after-school class 
  • ·     2 private classes
  • ·     30 more leads to follow up
Woo hoo! Very good for one days work! 

I hope by sharing all I have learned in this video, it will help you make your next show or fair equally successful! 

Below you can see our simple demo project. People loved the distINKtive stamping effect. 




Good luck with the new 2018/19 Stampin' Up! year - I am looking forward to hearing what you achieve. 

Love Liz

Yaaaay! I made it! Stampin' Up! Incentive Trip

Welcome to Ready Set Demo

So this happened today... I am SO blessed to do the best job in the world, have amazing friends, team and customers who have enabled me to earn this trip. Who would have though that playing with stamps, ink and paper could make your dreams come true? If you haven't ever earned a trip - I am proof that you CAN do it. Even if you don't have an online business. SO excited! 
Love Liz
