Free Craft Along Project for You

Hello and welcome to Ready, Set, Demo 

I have recently added some craft-along sessions to keep my lovely customers entertained during our ongoing lockdown here in the UK.


This project was SO popular - my ladies made loads of photo frames and home decor pieces - with Easter themes, Birthday themes, Miss You themes and more. They can be posted too - so great for gifting. 

I thought I would film the tutorial especially for you.


Of course I also created a non-logo printable which you will find on your recent newsletter to download. 

If you would like it and are not on my newsletter list - just let me know and I will add you and pop it over. I usually send newsletters once or twice a month and you can unsubscribe at any time - but why would you :) ?

BLENDING BRUSH TECHNIQUE MASTERCLASS

Hello and welcome to Ready, Set Demo

Happy new 2021 from Southampton, England! I would like to wish you and yours a happy, and especially a healthy new year. Well the awful Covid has followed us into the new year - but I am keeping hopeful that this is the year we will be able to return to normal.

It is 10 months since I have been able to teach my lovely ladies face to face, but by keeping them entertained online with classes and demonstrations, I actually exceeded my usual sales making no. 7 in the UK - up from 9 the two previous years! 

If you would like to do this too, whether you are teaching remotely or in person - I can help with....

Blending Brushes Technique Masterclass 


Today I am launching the latest in my Technique Class series - with 12 techniques using the fabulous new Blending Brushes! 


My technique classes are designed as time savers for you as a busy demo. It means you can teach a one off project or a whole technique class or series of classes with all the working out done for you. You can run it as a with-product class and include one or more packs of brushes, you can teach one technique a month - include one brush if you like - and then make projects using that technique. Or of course if you are able to meet in person you can demonstrate and get customers to use your brushes - and they will be sure to want their own when they see the great results. 

Here is what is included

  • 12 techniques using the Blending Brushes 
  • Printable product hints and tips (no logos) to share with your customers - print A4 or US Letter size 
  • Hints and tips video covering all you need to know about using and caring for your Blending Brushes
  • Set up video for creating your memories and more technique file - plus some alternate ideas for you and your customers
  • Printable layout examples showing how to assemble samples and instructions in a memories and more folder if required.   
  • Printable index sheet   
  • Printable instructions for each technique – editable with no logos configured for both A4 and US letter versions AND 9 copies of one technique per sheet for easy class prep. 
  • A step by step video showing each technique  

If you would like to receive the Blending Brush Technique Masterclass you can click to order securely by PayPal below. 

The price is just £10 - less than £1 per technique. (Approximately $14 US).  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 :) 

SEE MORE BEFORE YOU BUY?  I have included some ideas for using technique classes to grow your business too. 



**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**

Boho Indigo Mega Class

Hello and welcome to Ready, Set, Demo

Ever since I saw it, I knew I wanted to teach a class with the Boho Indigo goodies...and then came COVID!  We are back in lockdown here in the UK and we can't stamp together - but I couldn't wait any longer - I had to figure a way to teach this by post! 

Whether your are able to gather together or you need a class you can teach by post, this is the class for you. The class by post uses half the refill kit and relys on punches and dies - but of course you can use the whole bundle if you can gather. 



Well I say class - but I am calling this a mega-class!  Although I did teach this class all in one go, it would work for an all day event or could be split into two months worth of projects. We are making two gift boxes and 15 cards in total - and my lovely ladies have adored creating it. 



As usual my online classes are aimed to help you as a demonstrator and make your life easier, so you will receive 

  • Cutting lists with all measurements in inches worked out for A4 and US letter card stock sizes
  • Ordering per customer list - with options noted 
  • Pricing notes and ideas with things to remember to include
  • Printable instructions and photos so you can teach to customers whether they are online or not - add your own logo! 
  • Reference photos of all of the projects 
  • No logo photos of the whole class in each option for you to watermark and use in your business 
  • Videos for each project with and introductory teaching tips and ideas video

If you would like to order this class you order it below. Just click to pay securely and I will send the class to your email inbox as soon as I see the payment. Remember I may be asleep if we are on the other side of the world - but I will send as soon as I wake up :)

The cost is £10 which is approx $13 US depending on the Paypal exchange rate today. Just click the buy now button to order. 

If you want to see more, below you will find a short video giving you a closer view of the projects to help you decide if this class is for you.

Fancy Fold Library Class - Part 4

Well I know most of us love a fancy fold card - and this is a class that has 10 of them! Although the actual designs are done using the Sweetest Time bundle from the 2020 mini - these folds could be used at any time by switching out the stamps and designer paper. 

My customers know these classes as "Cards that make you say oooh" and they really do! 

If you would like to teach this class without working out a single measurement, figuring out what to order or even taking a photo like the one below - I am here to help! 




The Fancy Folds Library 4 class is available now with the following items included: 

  • An introduction video with teaching tips 
  • A video for each of the projects - showing step by step how to make a template of the fold and the finished example card 
  • An index and cutting sheet for each project in inches and worked out for A4 & US letter sizes 
  • An ordering/pricing guidance sheet to help you plan your class
  • A no-logo photo for advertising purposes
  • Reference photos of each of the projects showing the fold in action
  • All edited for printing in both A4 & US letter size and with spelling changes where needed 
To get the class now? Just click on the button below to pay securely by Paypal. 
The price is just £10, which is about $13 US depending on the exchange rate. 


As soon as I receive your payment, I will pop the class across to you by email. (If we are in another part of the world, you may need to wait for me to wake up :) ) 

Want to see more about this class...watch the video below. 



I was asked recently about my other Fancy Fold classes - and yes there are all still available. We are up to a staggering 66 folds now - but they are so useful to turn to when you are stuck for a wow project. I keep a file with each cutting sheet and a template for quick go-to classes with the latest stamps and papers. 

If you have any questions, you can contact me at liz.shannon@icloud.com and I will get back to you.

Curvy Celebrations and LIVE on Facebook!

Eeeek! What a week! 

Well I took the bull by the horns and went LIVE on Facebook in the real world. I have of course been doing this every week since March - but this time in was on my Elizabeth's Craft Room Facebook page rather than in the safety of my private customer group. 


I won't lie - I was nervous, but once I got started - and some of you lovely demo friends showed up and said hello in the comments, I felt at home. 

I have done two lives now, (I am doing them every Tuesday at 2pm UK time to keep consistent), so I thought I would pop a link on here so you can take a peek if you like :) 

I showed how to make a candle holder this week. And if you are on my newsletter list a link for the printable instructions is winging it's way towards you - check your email in box. 






Oh and as if one video isn't enough I did an unboxing and some making (actually quite a lot of making) with the pre-order Curvy Celebration goodies. You can see that here...



I will be back soon with a Fancy Folds class .... always popular 

Love Liz X
