December Class Planner, Stamp Class by Email & Workshop Planner Now Available + a Blog Give-Away!

Posted on: Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

 With Christmas just around the corner, it’s so easy to get all caught up in the holiday preparations.  Did you know though that this is the best time to get a jump start on the new year as well? This month’s class and workshop planner are designed to help you do just that.  By getting ahead on your preparations for your projects and classes in January – not only are you able to hit the ground running, but you can rest easy for the rest of the holidays knowing that you’re well prepared and don’t need to worry!

Vintage Valentine Class Planner & Stamp Class by Email

 This month’s Vintage Valentine Class projects feature the emboss resist technique, which combined with the I Heart Hearts stamp set, En Français background stamp, basic rhinestones and silver glass glitter create a stunning vintage effect. Pair this with the vibrant colors and patterns of the Sweet and Sour Speciality DP and you’re sure to wow anyone who receives one of these cards!

This class is available in 2 versions: the class planner version for Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators and the Stamp Class by Email version for non-demonstrators.  NEW this month – I’ve added in a video feature!  Whether you purchase the Stamp Class by Email or Class Planner you can now watch a video featuring the major techniques used in this month’s projects.  If you order the class planner, you get the code so that you can embed the video on your own blog on a password protected page – so that you can offer it to your own customers to view!

As part of the class planner package you will receive everything you need to offer a successful class to your cusomters: advertising picture, blog text to advertise on your blog, a printable handout for your class participants, and a more detailed class-to-go handout with step-by-step photos which you can use as an ordering incentive for your customers.  The planner also comes with a demonstrator guide which gives you a detailed cost breakdown, suggestions for setting up and running your class, and guidelines on figuring out what supplies you need to order.    For more details on the class planner version and to purchase it, please click HERE.

The stamp class by email includes a step-by-step photo tutorial with full color pictures, a template for the box and a cutting guide to help you maximize your CS when cutting for ONE project set.  For more details on the Stamp Class by Email version, and to purchase yours, click HERE.

Aviary Workshop Planner

This month’s workshop planner features the Aviary stamp set.  This little stamp set is a true diamond in the rough!  While you may discount it as limiting, with a little imagination and inspiration, you will find yourself reaching for it again and again.  It has fun and funky, all wrapped into one adorable package!

Not sure how to run a workshop, needing a boost or just running out of time? With this planner, we take all the tears and fears out of workshop’s for you. We offer tried, tested and true tips and suggestions for setting up and running your workshop, as well as projects designed to increase your sales. Whatever your needs are, we have tried to meet them. So sit back with a cup of tea, relax and let us do the work for you.

To order yours, click HERE.

Before we move onto the giveaway, we just want to give you the heads up that this is the last month we’re offering the workshop planner.  We’ve given it a make over and are replacing it with some exciting new products that will help you take your stamping and scrapbooking to the next level! We’ll share more about this on Friday.

And now it’s time for a Blog Give-Away!

We will be giving away a Class AND Workshop Planner to 5 lucky winners.  All you have to do to enter the give-away is to leave us a comment in the comments section of this post.  Winners will be announced on Wednesday, December 8th!
