Hello Crafters.
Today I had my first
Stampin’ Up!
workshop.
For non-Stampin’
Up!demonstrators
out there, the
difference between
classes and
workshops is that I
teach at a class and
charge for it, and
a workshop is where
I demonstrate products
and do a make-n-take,
without charging for it.
(This definition was
explained to me recently
at Convention – up until
this point – I taught at
workshops! Oh well, I live
and learn!)
Unlike a previous network
marketing company I was
with, SU uplines don’t do
the first workshop for their
new recruits. I plan to
change this for my new
recruits.
Although attendance was
low, it was a very
successful workshop.
It gave me the
opportunity to decide
what parts of my workshop
were good and what parts
weren’t so good!
My second workshop
will be well attended
and successful – watch
this space!
The advantage of having
a low attendance is that
the make-n-take can be
bigger/more involved.
I had planned that
everyone would make
a Christmas tag but we
had time to do an
actual gift bag as
well as the tags.
The stamp set I used
was Ornamental Pine.
As you can see, it
was a very simple
idea, but the result was
amazing.
Note: these were new,
unused takeaway
bags! LOL!
Although I prefer the
slightly more expensive
bags with “rope” handles,
this style is better as it
is a lot flatter and
stamping results in
smaller blank gaps
when going over
the handles.
That’s about it for
today.
I’ll be back
tomorrow.
In the meantime,
happy crafting.
JanB.
