Nautical Expedition Stamp Class by Email and Class Planner Give-Away
Posted on: Monday, June 6th, 2011
This month’s Nautical Expedition Class features The Open Sea stamp set and Nautical Expedition Designer Paper. The four cards and matching Log Book Card Box make a wonderful all Occasions gift set.
As I do each month, I am offering two versions – a Stamp Class by Email version which is a step-by-step photo tutorial with over 80 full color photos, full supply list, a cutting guide and template for the box.
The Class Planner version for Stampin’ Up! demonstrators includes the Stamp Class by Email tutorial (called the Class to Go Handout) as well as all the additional materials you need to offer it as a class to your own customers. Don’t have the time or space to offer traditional classes? Why not offer it as a kit to go? OR, did you know that you can use the Class to Go Handout as a purchasing incentive to your customers? When they place a $50 or more order of Stampin’ Up! product from YOU, you can give them this fabulous tutorial for free? But wait….there’s more….
Did you also know that this month I’m continuing on with the new video feature? As part of either the Stamp Class by Email AND the Class Planner you receive access to a private web page – and this month we have a video showing you how to make the twin pocket portfolio. When you order the Class Planner version, you also receive the video embed code so that you can embed the video on your own blog and offer it as a bonus to your customers which took the class or received the tutorial as a gift with purchase?
There are so many different ways that demonstrators use my planners, yet regardless of which way they choose to use it, the one thing I hear over and over again is what a benefit they have been to their business. Are you interested in adding more to your business? You can purchase the class planner HERE.
If you are not a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, but you’d like to learn how to make these projects then you can purchase the Stamp Class by Email version HERE.
*Please note, we are now offering the videos from this class to Paper Crafter’s Library subscribers as well as a written pdf on how to make the box. All other handouts – including the step-by-step photo tutorial, and features are remaining exclusive to the class planner/stamp class by email and will NOT be placed in Paper Crafter’s Library*
And now for a give-away! On Monday, June 13th, 5 lucky winners will receive the Nautical Expedition Tutorial (supplies not included). All you have to do to enter is leave a comment in the comments section of this post. If you’ve never left a comment before all you have to do is to click on the title of the post, scroll to the bottom of the page and enter your comment in the comment box. Sometimes comments may take a little while to appear.

By the way, your puppy is so darn cute:)
June 6th, 2011 at 9:36 pm
I love this theme. It does have a masculine feel, but I live near the coast of Maine, USA-where I actually know female ship/boat owners and operators-so it wouldn’t have to be just for men. Thank you for all your hard work and for sharing such wonderful ideas with us. You are a true teacher at heart.
June 6th, 2011 at 9:39 pm
Love the Nautical theme. would love to have this tutorial.

Very cute set! Love that DSP. Good luck w/ your internet and have fun w/ that new puppy, she’s adorable
June 7th, 2011 at 10:12 am
I really didn’t like this set or the DSP when it first came out but seeing what you have done with it, makes it a “have to have” item. What a great planner idea. Thanks for sharing.
June 7th, 2011 at 10:29 am
I love the look of these masculine cards — that is always such a challenge for me. I hope your crafting mojo has returned and all your worries are behind you.
June 7th, 2011 at 10:37 am
Really like the papers and the ideas for a male card. Why are they so difficult to make? Your puppy is so cute, but I know they are a handful.
June 7th, 2011 at 10:55 am
Haven’t ordered this DSP yet, but I do like it. The stamp set too.
This offer makes me think I “need” to get both!
June 7th, 2011 at 11:11 am
Thanks for the chance to win!!!!
June 7th, 2011 at 11:20 am
Love the masculine look of these cards. Thanks for a chance to win. Sorry to read of all the problems you have been dealing with. All things happen for a reason. Glad you’re back!
June 7th, 2011 at 12:26 pm
I love these cards and this set!! I can completely relate to the “puppy” thing. We just got a new puppy as well and had those same type of moments. Our little one seems to finally be trained and I highly recommend a doggie door if you have a place to put it. Our little one is great at going to the door but doesn’t have the barking or scratching thing down yet to let us know he is there if we aren’t right there with him. Good luck and thanks again for all you do.
June 7th, 2011 at 12:34 pm
This is a great set of cards! I would love to win the chance to make them. Keep up the great work
June 7th, 2011 at 12:43 pm
Beautiful cards Andrea, but I’ve come to expect that from you. You do great work. I would love to win the class by email and hold it for my customers. So glad you’ve solved your internet problems and it’s great to see you back. I miss you when you’re not “on” all the time.
Good luck with Ginger – anyone with a dog has gone through the puppy thing and one day she’ll learn how it works.
June 7th, 2011 at 1:07 pm
I love these as well. I always find it hard to create masculine cards, but this paper and twine make it much easier
June 7th, 2011 at 1:12 pm
Very nice tutorial. Love the manly cards, I have such a hard time with those.
June 7th, 2011 at 3:05 pm
So glad to see “male” cards.
June 7th, 2011 at 4:05 pm
A nice male card. YEAH!!!!!!
June 7th, 2011 at 5:20 pm
This one is a “must have” for me! I’m very challenged when it comes to male cards and sets. This one caught me eye and heart right away. Thank you ladies, for making my life a bit easier!
June 7th, 2011 at 6:18 pm
I need help with masculine cards. And I love the use of twine on this card. Looks fabulous!!!

June 7th, 2011 at 6:26 pm
I love it. Always in need of some masculine cards!
June 7th, 2011 at 6:29 pm
A wonderful project! Love the nautical look.
Hope your life eases up some for you. Feeling overwhelmed is not a good thing.

June 7th, 2011 at 11:08 pm
Those are great masculine cards:)
June 8th, 2011 at 12:07 am
Andrea thanks for the update on your life; I totally can relate some days I feel like I’m so far behind I will never see the light at the end of the tunnel, with renovating, volunteering with fires and floods working full time and still scrapping and stamping. Thanks for the great inspiration with your wonderful ideas; I love the masculine theme as most cards are more geared to women. Glad I get the chance to possibly win! Keep up the great job..
June 8th, 2011 at 12:46 am
I’m smiling as I read the puppy story. Someday, you will look back and have good memories of the puppy, and even the poop. Our dogs have passed and our children grown but somedays I look for both. My son is in the Navy so I’m really liking what you did with the nautical theme. Thanks for sharing!
June 8th, 2011 at 12:52 am
I am soo enjoying being a demo now, and really appreciate all the online inspiration from you and others. I have been running a fewe classes from home and not charging much. You have given me the confidience to feel justified in increasing what I charge, regards, Sandra in NZ
June 8th, 2011 at 2:55 am
Wow! Another lovely project! I love it! Also, thanks for the update & pictures. I certainly understand about having a puppy & all that goes w/ it. We only have grand dogs now & enjoy them, most of the time, when they visit!!! I’m praying for u to have a smoother time of it. I really do love your creations!
June 8th, 2011 at 5:23 am
Looks great! I was checking out your before and after studio pics. You’re right the small spaces work for now as long as you get to them, but functional is much better than pretty if you can’t find anything or have a lot of stuff. Thanks!
June 8th, 2011 at 7:10 am
Love these card ideas!! Such a nice set!! Thanks for sharing!!
June 8th, 2011 at 7:39 am
