Do you share your creative gift? It is easy to overlook the fact that gift giving is a great opportunity to share what you love. Handmade gifts are the perfect way to give your friends and family unique and thoughtful gifts, shop from your own store, and showcase more ways people can use and love Stampin’ Up! products in everyday life.

Each year Amy makes 12 calendars for grandparents, aunts and uncles. It has become a tradition. Previously the calendars were individually hand stamped, but the last couple years using MDS it has been so much faster to make the 12 copies of the custom calendar! This year Debbie is giving aprons made from the beautiful Designer Fabrics. She is using several different sets of Designer Fabric so the aprons fit each person’s style. We are both giving our favorite bakers and families with kids the Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps! They make a fun, useful and affordable gift that our friends and family will enjoy throughout the seasons and years.

This month’s Tip of the Month is Holiday Gifts. We hope you find this tip helpful in making the best use of the Class in a Flash product.

Leave a comment about what you will be making for gifts this year and we will choose one random winner on October 15th to receive our Handmade Holiday Gifts Class Planner.

Can’t get enough of the new stocking die in the Holiday Mini.  It makes a fabulous gift card holder.  This project is just one of the many in our Holiday Stocking Club Class Planner.  http://debbiemcneill.com/store/?p=1421

Just Released! Our Mega Stocking Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Club Planner.  There are certain images that are just iconic. You see them and they evoke a certain feeling or memory. Stockings are one of those iconic images. You see a stocking and it brings happy memories, fun, anticipation, and a bit of mystery. This year you can share that classic stocking image and the feelings it evokes with your customers by teaching them to create their own home décor and holiday gifts. Customers will love how easy die cutting the stocking shapes is with the Big Shot.   MORE DETAILS VISIT OUR SALES PAGE=>> http://debbiemcneill.com/store/?p=1421

One of the things I like about our new Letters to Santa Demonstrator Class Planner is that it shows off our new Simply Scored product when your customers make the Card Folder.  It’s a great introduction to the power of the Simply Scored product line.

Everything you need to get your customers off on the right foot and making you the scrapbooking expert.

I’m still on a high from convention this year. We received so many ‘goodies’ I almost wasn’t able to bring them back in my suitcase – and I went to Salt Lake City 1/3 full. I had two workshops on Saturday. I passed around sample projects I made at convention. The Make & Take Card used the Pennant Parade stamp set in In Colors from our most recent Class in a Flash class planner. The guests found the project really fun and so versatile. Another bit hit was the It’s a Wrap stamp set with the Matchbox XL die. I put four wrapped chocolates in the box using the new Pool Party and Island Indigo. Each guest made one chocolate and I gave the box to the hostess.

What are you doing for your July workshops?  

We will miss the Chunky Glitter and Celebrations Designer Series Paper but here at Class in a Flash we are preparing for the new catalog by discounting classes that feature retiring stamps sets and colors. You will find these classes easily convert to new stamp sets and colors, and the templates and layouts provided will be useful for many future projects!

Help your customers make an escape from the ordinary with these travel themed cards and journal. This card, with their timeless travel theme, is a great masculine card that many women would enjoy receiving as well. Your customers will enjoy sending a note of thanks to someone they visit on a trip, or just to say hi to a faraway friend or even one just across town!  What I especially like about this planner is the Bonus Stamp-a-ma-jig 101 Tutorial.  Being able to share this tutorial with your customers is worth the cost of the planner.  Available for immediate download! http://bit.ly/k8G5bm

Can you believe the Stampin’ Up! year is almost at and end and convention is just around the corner? As much as we always look forward to seeing the new catalog and going to convention the time always seems to sneak up on us. We’ve come up with some fun business tool gifts to give to you at Convention this year, so make sure you look for us! We will be posting our class schedule on our blog soon.

You know those days when all kinds of extra stuff lands on your schedule and you have to figure out how to squeeze it in while trying to maintain some of your sanity? I know you’ve had them! My friend and Co-Founder of Class in a Flash, Amy Barnes, had one the other day. Between working on a cool new project we’ll be offering soon, taking the kids to swim lessons, and trying to entertaining and feed them while they are out of school for the summer— she had to squeeze in getting the car from the repair shop and picking my husband up from the airport, plus a quick side trip to the grocery store to get the milk and bread they were out of. Because of the craziness she drove through that famous coffee place for a $3 jolt of energy and later served her darling family a $20 paper-wrapped dinner from the drive-thru fast food shop on the way home. She says she won’t win mom or wife of the year for that meal, but she learned a secret. There are times when spending a bit to save my sanity is worth it!

Class in a Flash customers have discovered that same secret — Saving your sanity while growing your business is worth a small investment. For a whole lot less money (and calories) than my coffee and fast food convenience, Class in a Flash customers get a ton of resources to help save them valuable time and reduce stress.

Every month Class in a Flash provides many resources to help you save time and sanity, including:

• 20 or more pictures you can use on your blog, DBWS, newsletters, etc.

• 3 product reviews to keep your blog running smoothly and customers tuned in to your valuable informative content

• 1 Card Template you can use to engage customers in your card sketch challenges

That’s almost enough content for a blog post every day of the month! How many hours do you spend creating informative content for your blog or newsletter like project samples and product reviews? If you aren’t doing those things, how much could you improve your business if you offered that content, knowledge, service, and relationship building to your customers? Where else can you find that kind of value for only $6.97 a month? That’s less than $0.24 a day, way less than Amy’s $3 caffeine fix and $20 dinner solution!

Be sure to make the most of your Class in a Flash subscription with these valuable resources and more! Not a member of Class in a Flash yet, now is a great time to join and start the new Stampin’ Up! year prepared with great projects, content, and time-saving solutions! Click here learn more.
