Walt Disney World Mickey Card - Brushed Shapes & Jingle Jingle Jingle

Welcome to Ready Set Demo 

Sometimes you want to craft 'just because' ! 

This is what happens when you are a crafter and haven't been to Walt Disney World for far too long. 

Made using the Brushed Shapes dies from the big book and the Jingle Jingle Jingle stamps from the mini. I love that it shows the Jingle ones are not just for Christmas. 


If you like to see and teach fun projects and you are not already on my newsletter list - you can sign up here...

Masking Paper Technique Masterclass

I often hear that your favourite classes to teach are technique classes. They are so versatile and I love them too. We can teach just one technique and make several projects using it, we can add them into regular classes or we can teach a masterclass and show lots of different ways to use a product. 

My new online class for you to teach is just such a class - featuring a much overlooked but really fabulous product from our big catalogue - the Stampin' Up! Masking Paper. 


I am including not only the ten techniques but ideas for 10 co-ordinating cards so you can teach both together or pick and choose projects to suit your business. 


Here is what is included in the class 

  • 10 techniques using the Stampin' Up! Masking Paper 
  • Printable product hints and tips (no logos) to share with your customers - print A4 or US Letter size 
  • Hints and tips video  
  • 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 
  • BONUS 10 co-ordinating Card ideas that you can teach 

I have kept my class price to just £10, which is usually about $14 US  - but at the time of typing it is less due to current exchange rates.

If you would like to order the class for just £10 you can order securely on Paypal by clicking below and I will email your class to you. 


I email as soon as I get your paypal notification - however if we are on other sides of the world I will send as soon as I wake up! 

If you would like to know a little more about the class, I have a short trailer video here. 


**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**

NEW Fancy Folds Class - Ready to Teach

Are you ready to teach some more Fancy Folds? I have 10 more plus a bonus project available for you.  This time they include a theatre fold, a fun bench fold coffee shop and lots more. 

I have designed them for teaching using our new In Color Cardstock and DSP - but of course you can use any stamps, card or designer paper you have on hand to teach these fun projects. 


As a bonus project, I am also including a banner which you can customise for a patriotic holiday or a birthday with whichever colours you wish.  



Included in the class are:

Measurements in inches worked out for A4 and US letter sizes
All instructions printable on A4 & US paper 
An ordering list per person
Class pricing ideas
Non-logo advertising photos 
A step by step video for each of the projects
A bonus video showing how to make the banner 
I have kept my class price to just £10, which is about $14 US depending on today's Paypal exchange rates.

If you would like to order the class securely on Paypal, click the button below. If you'd like to see more, scroll down and I will show you the projects on a short video.





I love the versatility of Fancy Fold projects that can be taught as a one of card in a regular class - as a collection of 3 or 4 or you can do like me and teach them all over two classes. 

And best yet - make up a template and you can create the fold again at future classes with new goodies to make it new! 

My lovely ladies are loving these projects and I hope you and your customers will love them 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**

Launch Back In Person 2022 - and five secrets of a successful launch event

Welcome to Ready, Set, Demo 

And woo hoo! my launch event is done.  Followed a week or so later by a bout of COVID - but after avoiding it so long it had to happen. I am much better and ready to share my launch with you. 

*** added information - yes I did 'make' my display boards. They are made from linen drier racks - you can see more in my video from pre-covid HERE

Also do have a look below for FIVE SECRETS TO A SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH EVENT.  


I do teach my team NOT to do such a big display, but I started doing bigger and bigger displays over the years and I don't want to disappoint my ladies. :) 

It was great to get back together in person, and if you haven't already seen it, here is a 2 minute video montage of how it went. 



Events do not need to be big like mine to be wonderful for your business and if you would like to see my FIVE SECRETS TO A SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH EVENTS you can watch it below. 


If you are not already on my mailing list which comes out a maximum of twice a month, please do sign up below for tips, ideas, inspiration, ready to teach classes and more. 

Oh and I have brand new Fancy Folds Class coming soon. 

Happy stamping and launching

Who Needs More Customers?

Hello and welcome to Ready, Set, Demo

WHO NEEDS MORE CUSTOMERS? I certainly did. When I returned to in-person classes last summer, I needed another class-full of ladies maintain my income. 

.

Last year - it just wasn't happening. And then in January I changed up my plan. And oh my goodness - 12 new ladies signed up for my new class in 6 weeks!

EDITED TO ADD - As of March 14th I am now up to 20 new class ladies booked and paid! And everyone who has attended has rebooked too! 



SO HOW DID I DO IT?

I share all in this FREE training video for you which covers: 
* Practical how-to advice to get customers signed up
* One thing I learned that really made a difference 
* All my results using paid & unpaid advertising

Click below to see the video...


While my aim was to get in-person class customers, you could adapt these many of these methods to attract online customers, new team members and more. 

I hope you find it helpful - I look forward to hearing how many new customers you find after watching this. Cue more smiles and tears!

Take care and happy stamping

Love Liz X
