A New Way to Stamp a Stack of Cards!

Several customers have asked for a traditional Stamp-A-Stack of cards class. Over my 13 years as being a Demonstrator I have offered them several different ways. They have been in person classes. They have been mail-order classes. They have been incentive classes with qualifying purchases. My measurable success at them has been all over the map! Currently I am offering a Card Buffet in person class at my home at the end of April. A Card Buffet is a stamp-a-stack of cards class but you get to choose which ones you make. I am offering 2 each of 6 styles for different pricing options. I am offering ten different card options to begin with, you choose 6 to make. Whatever packets are left carryover to the next buffet until they are gone. Read more here.  I call it my "I know You're Hungry Card Buffet". I believe calling it a Card Buffet is confusing those of us that are used to the Stamp-A-Stack of card class name. Same idea but the customer gets more flexibility in choosing what they make.

I had a brainstorm with myself the other night and I think I have come up with a workable solution to offering something on a smaller scale, on a more regular basis (think monthly!) that can be done in person at my house, at your house on your time which can then be mailed to you, and can also be an incentive to place a qualifying order. Read on about a new way to Stamp--A-Stack of cards.

What is included?
What I have come up with, if I may ramble on a bit more, is 2 each of 3 different card styles and envelopes on a monthly basis. Say what? Yes! Sandy is offering a Stamp-A-Stack monthly, but smaller scale for shorter attention spans! Just kidding. Really if you participate monthly you will have 72 cards to send every 12 months. Every month will include 2 each of a  general birthday card and 2 each of 2 other cards, related to the next months holidays or other relevant items. You can see the schedule below. Also note that sometimes I will make sure to use the super shiny new goodies when a new catalog comes out!

Dates You need to Know
So with this new way to class, you can purchase the class by the tenth of the month, monthly or up to you how often you participate. Money is due to me by the 15th of the month. When I have money in hand I will cut your packet. If payment is delayed, you will get the next months packet. I cut once for that month, so whomever has sent me registration and payment will get that months Stamp-A-Stack! If you opt to participate in person at my house, during one of the two class sessions I am offering during the third week of each month, you still need to submit payment ahead of time. This guarantees you a packet of supplies!

There will be no sneak peek at the cards for the upcoming month, much like all the other monthly subscriptions you can purchase, including our own Paper Pumpkin subscription. We have no idea what we will get until we open the box. You will know what the card themes will be ahead, so if you do not need those cards, carry on and ignore that month.

I will mail the class packets on or about the 17th of each month, and include a PDF of instructions, pictures of the projects and supply list in case you fall in love with some of the pretty stuff!

Get the class for FREE!
If you place a minimum $50 order by the 10th of a month, you will automatically get sent the class. You will need to notify me if you do not want to receive the class. People that order as NO CONTACT will not get a class because I do not have your address. I have no way to contact you. That makes me sad because I am offering a nice incentive to place a nice order. Opt in!

I think that about covers the details. Place a qualifying order and automatically and conveniently get the class for FREE. Register by the tenth and get that payment to me quickly by the 15th of the month to make sure you get the packet. Registering by email or text does not guarantee until I get the payment. I mail you your class packet around the 17th of the month. Bingo! Classes made super easy for all of us.

In Person Class Details
In person class attendees will still get the instruction PDF, you just have the added benefit of being able to visit with me!!! In person class will occur during the third week of the month (most months) but will always be held on Tuesdays from 1-3 and Fridays from 6:30-8:30. There are some dates this summer that may be off schedule due to my sons graduation and a few other family events. But I will do my best to keep to the consistent schedule to make it easy for all of us to remember. I will provide the adhesive for in person classes, which will be green Tombo glue. If you are partial to tape runners, please feel free to bring your own to class.

Address is in Minnetonka and is listed below. You can message me for it also.

If you participate all year long you will have enough cards for just about every occasion, 72 in all. Because there are only 6 cards monthly, it shouldn't take much time to put them together. I think that is something that has intimidated some of you. I know it would probably intimidate me too.

Below is a spreadsheet of the details. I have included a link below that of the information in PDF format for you to print and hang in a convenient location. You can always find the document under my Tool Box tab. I put all instructional or class or tips sheets under that tab.

Registering for Class
To register, you may email me or text me your registration request. You can just say "I'm in for class this month" or I am going to attend class on --- date! Make sure you pop that payment to me right away then to make sure you get the months class you wish to make! $15 in person class, $22 for mail order class. $0 for those that place a minimum of $50 order.

Do you really like the upcoming card styles/subjects/themes that are listed? Feel free to double or triple the class fee of $15. I have not checked if it will cost me more to mail a double packet. It is something I can look into if that is something people are interested. Just let me know how many packets when you are registering! Just say "double me up this month" or "I will take the triple ripple" or something. You know what I mean. I just need to know how many packets you want, if you want more than the one. See? This way you can get a bigger Stamp-A-Stack at your convenience.

Payment
I have included in the main flyer a payment coupon, it helps me but isn't mandatory. And I know when I send in payments for things I usually type up a simple registration thing. There is a link below and in my Tool Box for additional payment coupons you can print.

Payments are due to me by the 15th of the month in which you are participating. Payment will either be $15 if you opt for the in person class to make your cards, or $22 for processing and mailing your packet. If you place a qualifying order, yours is automatic unless you notify me you want to opt out.  Payments are check made out to Sandy McManus, or cash. Mail to address is PO Box 1769, Minnetonka MN 55345. Secured mailbox! Just remember if your payment doesn't arrive by the 15th, you will just receive the next months class. How cool is that? You win either way! Feel free to include the payment coupons I have created to make it easier for you.
