Season of Friendship Workshop Planner Now Available…& a Give Away!

Posted on: Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

DecSneakPeek

I know, I know, it’s December already!!!  How many of us are franticly trying to prepare for the upcoming holidays?  Lots I bet.  If you are anything like me then you are running around like a chicken with its head cut off, desperately trying to come up with Christmas gifts, plan your activities, create beautiful one of a kind decorations for your home (ok, maybe not the last one…….just don’t have time) and tons of other stuff. 

So who has time for workshops?  One month can’t hurt for letting it slide……..can it?  Not directly no, but it can make it that much harder to get started again when you leave that gap.  Are we saying not to take a well earned vacation?  Absolutely not!  But we are suggesting that you make it a well planned vacation.  Schedule out your vacation for when the kids are done school, or something along those lines, but for the beginning of the month, we do suggest that you put some emphasis on your business.  We can guarantee that stores certainly won’t be stopping their efforts to lure in customers for Christmas shopping, so why should you?  This is the perfect season to sell your craft supplies as the perfect gift for the season (I know I sure love it when someone gifts me with stamps lol). 

Now if you are wondering how to maintain some sales, and still have a stress free month, then we strongly suggest that you try out our Workshop Planner.  We know that you are probably going to find it hard to sell to many Christmas things as the holiday draws closer, so we have decided that this month we will feature the versatiliy of the Season of Friendship stamp set.  We have decided to help you show your customers why this is the perfect gift for any occassion, and any season.  The main projects are featured in a winter theme, but we give the supplies and instructions for changing it up for every season.  We promise that even if you only have one workshop this month, the planner itself will still hold its value as you are able to use it throughout the year.  So what are you waiting for?  If you want to maintain your business this month and have a stress free time doing it, then this is the product for you!

This month’s workshop planner will include the following:  

  • Three custom designed projects- 1 card, 1 3D and one 6″ x 6″ scrapbook page with a 12″ x 12″ option for Classes.
  • Projects offered in two versions a simple and “stepped up” version.
  • Stepped up scrapbook page feature.  We take your 6″ x 6″ page and show you how to turn it into a 8 1/2″ x 11″    and then a 12″ x 12″.   This way you can show your customers or use it as a Scrapbook class idea.
  • Alternate project designs using a different stamp set, DP and color scheme.
  • Tips on preparing for, setting up and running your workshop.
  • Step by step photo tutorial for ensuring a clear understanding of all steps associated with projects.
  • Cost analysis of projects
  • Customer Handout
  • Customer Shopping Checklist offered in both PDF format as well as MS word format so you can make changes to suit your needs.
  • Demonstrator packing checklist offered in both PDF format as well as MS word format so that you can make changes to suit your needs.
  • American and Canadian Versions for all Qualifying documents.
  • Advertising photo
  • So what are you waiting for?  Give it a try and see if it isn’t everything we say it is. We offer a 100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee – which means if you buy the workshop and you are not satisfied with it, we give you a full refund, no questions asked. You can purchase the workshop planner from the Demo to Demo Workshop Planner Store.

    Now following the tradition that we have long began we will be offering 5 free Workshop planner to 5 lucky winners.  The random drawing will take place on  Monday.  All you have to do to be entered into the draw is to leave a comment. Please note that this draw is only open to Stampin’ Up! demonstrators. Good luck, and thank you for all your wonderful support.

    What a beautiful project and I can’t believe I am the 1st Person. Susan

    This looks gorgeous! I love the teasers! And your photos and projects make it so easy to set up workshops~

    3

    I love the idea of a winter themed, rather than Christmas, workshop!

    4

    Oh what a fun class this would be! :) This could be used for not only Christmas but for a first of the year class as well :)

    5

    Oh! I’d like to win that prize! Thank you so much for your great work!

    6

    Another fab planner, this would certainly give me a kick up the butt for a December workshop!

    7

    I love your projects! I’ve been one of the lucky winners before and taught the class to my ladies and they loved it! I would love to win another one so I can do it again.

    10

    This project is a great idea! Pick me to win :) !!

    11

    Love this stamp set and love your class planners! Just finished the serene snowflakes stamp class by email and the cards were gorgeous!

    12

    Woohooo! Another planner giveaway. I am amazed you’re able to find time, but thanks for doing it :o )

    13

    Happy Holidays to you both. Thanks so much for all the great inspiration and I continue to enjoy the newsletter and the 12 weeks of Christmas.
    Thanks for all you do!

    I can not believe it is December already! Happy Holidays! Thanks for the opportunity to experience one of your wonderful planners. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us.

    17

    Wow! I would love to win this planner. I love this stamp set.

    18

    Oh man..i would love to have one of these planners. The little pictures are so tempting. Makes me want it. :)

    Thanks again for all of your hard work. It really inspires me to make cards, gifts, etc.

    19

    Love this stamp set, and the sneak peeks look great!

    20

    Once again you have outdone yourself. I always look forward to see what you come up with so I get the inspiration from you.

    21

    Running around is right, and what a perfect time for your Planner to come out. I love that it is not Christmas themed. We aren’t even into the first week of December yet and I am all Christmasted out. Now a Planner with a different theme, that would get my juices flowing. Thanks for being so insightful and generous again. Have a wonderful day!

    22

    24

    What a great gift to give at the holdiay times, a planner. Thanks for the chance to win.

    25

    What a great planner this would be! Love this stamp set.

    26

    A workshop planner would be a life saver.

    I have three birthdays in the next two weeks in my house, plus two birthdays outside of my immediate family, and then we haven’t even talked about shopping, holiday parties, potlucks, decorating and Christmas! eeeeeeeeeeeek.

    I love this stamp set and am intrigued with the different uses you have for it, sadly mine hasn’t seen much action.

    I’ll be waiting until Monday with my fingers and toes crossed!

    Thanks for the chance to win :)

    54

    Andrea

    Thanks so much for all the hard work you put into these Workshop planners. I cannot believe how much time it saves. I do change it
    around a bit to make it a little me but the cutting directions are
    a GOD send!!!!

    55

    Thank you so much for offering…
    I love your site, you impress me!!!

    56

    Season of Friendship is one of my all time favorite stamp sets. I loved it when it came out in the mini catalog and was so glad to see it later in the idea book & catalog. Winning this workshop planner would certainly get it inked up again … Patricia

    57

    This looks like a great class! Thanks for offering it to us!

    58

    I would love this workshop planner. I am a brand new (less than two weeks) demonstrator and could use all the help I can get to get started!
    I love all your projects and classes that I have seen. You do great work! Thanks.

    59

    Absolutely LOVE everything!!! Your work is awesome, I love coming to your blog to check it out.

    60

    Ah! One of my favorites sets! And a planner already prepared? Now that’s the cat’s pajamas!!!

    61

    What a great looking planner! As always you two have some great, time saving ideas for us demonstrators!

    62

    Thanks for the chance to win your workshop planner. I just love your blog!!

    63

    It is hard to believe it is December already! I was in a store and they had up a reminder that only 24 days until Christmas. Time flies!
    Great set for a planner!

    64

    This is a stamp set that I have overlooked until now. It is a very cute simple little set. Your teasers are once again very tempting. I might have to have the set and the planner. I just don’t know how you do it all. Just keeping the stamping hoards happy is enough, without having to also live a life. Thanks for all you do for us.

    65

    What a great idea! I hate to admit it, but I’m getting bored with making Christmas cards! I think it’s because we’ve had an unseasonably warm fall and no snow yet. I’m not complaining, tho!

    66

    I’ve always been interested in trying these planners but haven’t yet made the jump. Because you do fabulous work I’m sure it will be great I just have a hard time visualizing what it will look like. I know I certainly appreciate all the time and effort you put into things to make it easier for me to run my business on such a busy schedule. Keep up the great work!

    67

    Awesome as always. Don’t know how you do it! You’re ideas are always so helpful for things to offer to my customers. Thanks Andrea!

    68

    Andrea, you and Spohia have been so inspirational to me. I am a 2 month old Demonstrator from Texas and I TRULY appreciate your blog! Keep the good stuff coming.

    69

    I check your website EVERY day! You have the best projects.

    70

    Love the idea of being able to change the planner theme with the season. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

    71

    Oh, such a teasing little sneak peek! And of course, it just missed your sale!! (Not that I didn’t just buy 5 planners!!!) I love these new 3-d additions! You all are so great!

    72

    Always love your ideas! And thanks so much for encouraging us to keep up our sales, even through the busy holidays. You’re right–stores don’t stop; why should we?
    Thanks for the inspiration!

    73

    This looks like another great one! The versatility makes it a good investment. I’d sure love to win it! then I’d buy the stamp set… Thanks for all you do!

    74

    Thanks for all you do to help fellow SU! demonstrators!

    75

    I love the colors in the peeks!

    76

    The sneak peek teaser for your new planner looks great!

    77

    Love this set! Thanks for new ideas.

    78

    What an awesome class! You’re a constant inspiration…Thanks for the chance to win;)

    79

    Gosh, this could be just what I need to get me through December! I have a LOT on my plate right now as the kiddos wind up with school and Christmas looming fast – a helping hand with workshops would definitely take the load off! Thanks for the chance :)

    80

    I haven’t used my Season of Friendship stamp set in quite awhile. I can’t wait to break it out and try out these projects. Thanks for continuing to put out such great ideas. For me being fairly new to paper crafting, I do enjoy creating something of my own from scratch but it takes me FOREVER to come up with a design I like. That’s why your designers are so fabulous – beatiful projects quickly and easily.

    Steph

    86

    Wow – I’m no. 83 – your designs are fabulous.

    87

    Everything you do is beautiful…. love sneak peaks too! Thanks for sharing.

    88

    you got my heart racing

    89

    Woohoo! Pick me pick me!

Both of you are so nice to share so much with us other demonostrators. I’m looking forward to seeing who wins the blog candy. Thanks,

    98
