NEW Online Exclusive Printables + July Class Project Inspiration


NEW Online Exclusives Printables 


Yay - the new online exclusives are live and Boo - Stampin' Up! are not providing printables for those of us who do in-person events.

So I am here to help with fully updated printables for you. After a frantic night and early morning creating the graphics as soon as we went live in South Pacific and then adding the international prices as each market went live! I have paid extra for an upgraded graphics subscription to improve the look of these printables - I do hope you can see the difference! :) 



This is how I have designed them, (with a few tweaks since March - thank you for your feedback). 

  • Individual bundles on one page including images, descriptions, item codes (English Language), prices plus 2 project images 
  • Suites over two pages  including images, descriptions, item codes (English Language), prices plus 2 project images
  • Stand Alone Products 3 per sheet - NEW - renamed these to reflect the products included for easier identification
  • NEW cleaner view with most backgrounds removed from images making printing much cheaper for you
  • NEW prices for all markets - item codes for English language only
  • Access to the January release printables included
  • Prints on A4 & US letter paper  

Watch the short video for how I have used these printables in my classes to boost sales and how I deal with items that are not available or fully retired. 



I have kept the price at just £4 which is about $5.35 US. If you would like these printables, just click below to purchase securely using Paypal.  These will be emailed to you as soon as I see your payment / wake up / finish my class! :) 

Online Exclusives Printables  just £4


We had lots of fun with not one but two fancy folds in our July class - a circle waterfall card featuring Circle Sayings and a fence card with Dainty Delight. We also did a fun travel related card too. 

If you are on my newsletter list - check your inbox today for an exclusive video showing some teaching tips for these cards. 

Not on my newsletter list? Oh no! But you can sign up here so you never miss exclusive content from me. 

As you may know, I always make some more sample projects to show more ways to use the Stampin' Up! goodies we feature in each class. 

I made a video that shows all of those and gives some details about what we used and some tips about how the cards were made. CLICK HERE to see more. 


I am delighted to see how popular my Let's Go Shopping / Les Shoppes Online Class has been - I am already having some wonderful emails back from you telling me how much learning and designing time it has saved you - and yes there was quite a bit of trial and error for some reason when I was creating these projects. 

If you missed it and would like to see more about this class - you can check it out HERE.

Let's Go Shopping Masterclass

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 
If you would like to order the class just click below and I will send it over to your email inbox. 

ORDER HERE  for just £10 (about $14 US) 


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!

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 mix and match!

I hope this class helps you in your Stampin' Up! business!
