I was disappointed in the sample class as it used retired stamps that are no longer available.

Thanks for asking Kathy. No retyping required to add your class to your DBWS gallery! We do all the work for you by typing the supplies in the blog.txt file. All you have to do is add a picture and then copy and paste the contents of the blog.txt file. It’s that easy and as my friend Carol says…a no brainer! Thanks Kathy.

I’m very impressed with the way people are offering these classes through their DBWS. Question: do you have to retype all of the information, or can you copy and paste the information that comes in CIAF? I like the idea of offering these by mail, especially in month’s where I have enough classes already scheduled. I also have several out of town customers, so this would reach them. Thanks for the input

I just found this site – just got my trial offer and can only say WOW!!!!! I understand you can sent it in Canadian funds and I would love to hear from you on what I have to do to get that! What an amazing idea – a pile of work for you at an amazing price for us. My compliments.
Vivian

Thank you for the free trial. It is quite impressive and will be something I will try for next month’s club. I am sure it is well worth the investment and I appreciate the time you put in to creating the sample class and your willingness to share. I can’t take advantage of it at this time, but I will keep in mind.

Thanks again.
Alison

Thank you for the sample kit. I love your ideas and the planning is fantastic. I will definitely be checking in for new ideas.
Blessings!

Love the Sweet Stems CIAF. Will be using for a spring class or two!

Hi, Ladies:

I just love this month’s class. Y’all just come up with the most beautiful ideas every time. You are saving me so much prep time. I just wanted to say THANKS!
http://stampindesigns.typepad.com/blog/ SUE

This is absolutely gorgeous, thanks. I have just learned how to do Faux Silk too so this is great. Thanks you!.
Alli B

Thank you for your quick response and for all of the information about your class planning service! I have already poured over your site. You and Debbie have created some fantastic designs! I am going to read over the free sample-Thank you!! And of course make a purchase

At the moment I have a bi-monthly technique club and usually one workshop in between. Just enough to help me meet my financial commitment to SU but not really too much left to purchase any of the new product I have on my “NEED” list. As I looked at the classes that you and Debbie have designed I am thinking I can offer a monthly class that wouldn’t put a crunch on the ladies wallets but allow us to keep getting together, sharing great ideas and products and allow me to earn some extra money. And perhaps get some laundry done as an added bonus!

Thanks again,

Alli
Katie Brandt

I have printed out your checklist. I know this will be a great time saver for me. Thanks for being 2 steps ahead
Genie

I like all the detailed information on this Trial Edition. I am not too comfortable with the computer files and saving them. Will they “clog” up my computer, meaning will it use up all of my “memory”? As you can see, I don’t know much about retrieving or using the wonderful information you have taken the effort and time to put together.
I love the idea–just don’t know if I can use it as you describe. I only know how to print the emails you’ve sent me recently.

Thanks

Hello Ladies,

I just had time today to look over everything you sent to me…”Class in a Flash”. It looks like you put a whole lot of time in this. Very detailed and nicely done. I appreciate your time and will definately consider this.

My customers loved the newsletter – even people I only met at vendor fairs read it. It really helped me identify who was really interested in SU!

WOW!! I really LOVE the December CIAF!! Great job!!!! I can’t wait to offer it to my customers!
Tamara

Thanks for all you do. I love the classes, did not get to do the I wish class because of the back order. But I am doing it for myself. Yall do a great job and I hope to do the next class.
Elizabeth

Thank you for all the hard work you have put in with the classes. I love receiving your newsletters. I will be having a Christmas Cheer class on Saturday and I’m very excited about it. I am more confident and prepared for this class. Thanks again for all your help.

It think it’s kinda cool that you’ve made an impact on the demonstrators. I, for one, love the I Wish CIAF and advertised the class — I have two scheduled; one is this coming Saturday and another on the following Saturday. Unfortunately I didn’t order the I Wish kits before the back order situation, but I learned a lot from your CIAF demonstrator planner — I used the chart in the planner as a template to price an alternative kit option using Holiday Treasures and Ski Slope DSP and 12″ x 12″ paper. Instead of the SS Kit die cuts, we’ll use BigShot die cuts and punches and maybe even some chipboard. I am more confident and calm about preparing for and dealing with unexpected contingencies for my upcoming classes, thanks to your awesome product!
Valerie

LOVE your classes!! These will save me a TON of time!! Keep up the good work!
Alison

Thank you for all your ideas. One of the things I struggle with is preparing for my stamping clubs, It sometimes is overwhelming.

I appreciate your ideas. God bless you.
Alison

Oh my Ladies, you have outdone yourselves again. This is just adorable. I have had that set and haven’t used it yet, just couldn’t get inspired, but boy have you ladies inspired me on it. I can’t wait to do this, I have to just make sure I have all the other products. What a great way to give someone a bottle of wine, oh, you are just too good, and thanks for the great recipes.

I did the I wish class yesterday and they loved it. they all bought the snow swirled set.

Keep up the good work, I am one of your biggest fans. Have a great week.

oh, and thanks for the great holiday planner, you just amaze me with all your work and ideas.
Hugs again.
KATHY

Debbie and Amy!
I love the “I Wish” CIAF. It really was quick and easy to prepare and then to share. My stampers are ooooohing and ahhhhing at it, especially the gift bag! You two are amazing. I’m sending my new downline to you for her own goodies. Her name is Linda.
Keep ‘em coming and thank you so so much! And come on November 10th!

This looks great. I tried the free sample and it was easy to recreate the cards. It’s a great class and I look forward to future projects.
Tamara Daniel

Your class in a flash is just great! I love it and can’t wait to get the next one. It is well worth the money. Saves time, and is a great tool for anyone that wants to do classes but does not have the time to sit down and figure out what to do. The projects are wonderful!
http://www.cathyjohnstone.stampinup.net Cathy Johnstone

I DO love the Canadian pricing!! YES!! Thank you! And so will my customers.
http://www.susanconti.stampinup.net Susan Conti

I did receive the I Wish CIAF and actually made the projects over the weekend. Here’s a big WOW!!!

I can’t believe how easy the two of you are making it for me to step up my classes with new & exciting projects! I love everything about the complete package; step-by-step instructions, supply list, costing the class, etc. After completing the projects, I sent out a Constant Contact flyer for this class on Monday and already have 2 people signed up and paid for….whoo…hoo! It was so very fun and easy to complete the projects! My customers are going to love the fresh ideas I will be incoporating into my class scheduling using CIAF.

Thank you so very much for helping me put excitement back into my business!

Thanks Everyone!
Debbie

This is my first month for getting your kit. I am a little overwhelmed right now and trying to figure out what I am looking at. Pictures are always great. I like the PDF files that can be used as flyers, if that is what you are saying is new. Other than that I am not sure how to respond just yet. Thanks for all the work you do!!
http://www.ChocolateontheBeachFestival.com Stephanie Allestad

I use the PDF. It’s great!!!

Hello Ladies,

First of all, a HUGE thank you for the wonderful class you have provided with the SU kit, I love using these kits so was so happy to see them. I have just finished making my set and it was truly so much fun and I know my customers will truly love it. Getting 15 different cards made at one class is wonderful, plus the gorgeous bag and page.

So again, thanks again for all your hard work, you have truly outdone yourselves on this one. Love, love it. I am soooo happy that I signed up for your monthly projects.
Mary Brewer

Thanks for everything you do!!!

Hello Debbie
I love your GIF and the ability to add my contact information. I love the features you have enabled. Good Work! Now I have to figure out how to add the GIF to my SU DWS website. Thanks for everything.

Thanks! I had not checked out the blog before. Very nice. For some reason I had missed this feature.
Dania Welch

The new features are appreciated. I just haven’t had time to use any of the classes so far. Thanks.

Canadian pricing would be excellent.

Thank you so much for adding the Canadian Project Cost!!! I love the fact that it is all there for me now … kinda lazy in that respect!
I’m really excited to offer this class!!!
Your services are sooo worth it!!!
Great job, ladies!!!

Hi!
I am just replying to your FAQ’s section, to let you know that I am in Canada & YES, I would LOVE to see you do this service in Canadian currency, this is so great, thanks for this service!

You are very welcome Vivian.

Katie, we are so glad we can help. As Stampin’ Up! demonstrators we are constantly looking for ways to save us time and money. What we learn, we share.

Susan, thank you for requesting our complimentary trial Class in a Flash Newsletter. I’m so sorry to hear you haven’t seen the free sample class yet. Once you subscribe, you will receive our detailed information on our Class in a Flash product, the Class in a Flash Newsletter and answers to frequently asked questions all via email. I’m guessing the information is hiding out in your junk or spam folder.

Hello Connie in NM. We were sorry to hear you felt disappointed with the free trial sample due to the inclusion of one retired stamp set. The main stamps (Seeing Spots and Think Happy Thoughts), card stock, accessories, etc. used in the projects are all still active! Just the Rough Edges Alphabet stamp set is used on one card which could easily be changed out with Simple Serif Mini Alphabet & Numbers or Calendar Alphabet & Numbers stamp sets. My customers love it when I show them how easy it is to change out products. Rest assured, all of our classes that we offer subscribers on a monthly basis and in our store feature only current products.

We work hard to keep our costs low (compare and see) so we do not include the expense of creating a new free trial edition with each catalog release in what we charge our customers. We will be offering a new free trial with the next catalog release to include for our potential customers some great new features (like animaged GIF images and a few others) we have added to our service since this trial was created.

I hope this has helped you to understand our perspective and see the value of the current free trial, even with the minor inclusion of a retired stamp set. Thank you for taking the time to consider our service.
