Celebrating YOU & Tips for sharing the Little Treats Bundle

Welcome to Ready Set Demo 

I hope you are all keeping safe and well and managing to run your business whatever the COVID situation is where you are in the world.


I had rather a lovely surprise on Saturday night. I was attending the Online Leadership event run by Stampin' Up! - and to my amazement I had my story told by Ken, one of the Stampin' Up! corporate team. He shared how I had turned my totally face to face business around and exceeded my best ever quarter sales twice. He also explained how my team and lovely customers had donated cards and postage stamps to our local hospital staff to help them keep in touch with their families during the worst of the pandemic here. I was blown away!

Now I want to turn that compliment over to you - because if you have had to learn new ways to share and connect during this weird year - you deserve that same recognition. You are awesome! 




At the time of writing, I am half way through my Mini Launch Week - showing off some of the beautiful suites, bundles and other goodies from our Aug-Dec catalogue. If it is as successful as my main launch back in May/June I will be delighted. There are a couple of post/video links below that might help if you want ideas on connecting with your customers or launching a catalogue. If you are back to meeting in person - woo hoo! It must be lovely to connect again.

But enough of all that - I tempted you with pretty things! My most popular share so far with my lovely ladies was showing them three different ways to use the Little Treats Bundle. 



If you are not on my newsletter list and would like the measurements and no logo photos mentioned in the the video - email me and I will send them to you.

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:) 

Birds & Branches / Free as a Bird Online Class £10.00
