WORKSHOP 2 GO!

As you read this please keep in mind WORKSHOP 2 GO is a TEST PROJECT(a brainwave of mine).....wonder if it will become a popular stamping event, we will see!

What is W2G?.......
While brainstorming one day I was trying to think of an event that would work well for people that were experienced crafters......people that already had an inventory of crafting tools, people that would be comfortable hosting an event on their own.
Busy crafters that wanted to host a......
  • ladies night out
  • wedding shower
  • baby shower
  • project at a family reunion
  • lunch hour fun at work
  • etc., etc., etc.!
Here's how it will work:
I will.....
  • plan 3 projects featuring one specific stamp set.
  • order all of the products needed to host a W2G for 10 guests.
  • receive the order......prep it for your W2G. This prep will include cutting cardstock, ribbon, packaging all of the pieces needed for each of the projects.......kits ready for stamping and assembling.
  • let you know when it's ready for pick up, &/or mail it to you!
You will......
  • pick a date for your event.
  • invite friends/family to your W2G event.
  • decide how you want to host your event.....there are a few options(see below)!
  • have fun.........that's what it's ALL ABOUT!

Q & A....if you have other questions please contact me!

How much will it cost?
All of the W2G will be planned so the hostess will earn Stampin' Up!'s hostess benefits........therefore the cost is approx. $200.

Wait.....don't fall off your chair!

Keep in mind the majority of the W2G products will be yours to keep...ones that you can use over, and over, and over......not consumable!! For example: stamp set, punches, blender pens, ink pads, markers, etc!

Who gets the Hostess Benefit FREEBIES?
You!.....as the hostess the freebies belong to you! You are welcome to keep them for yourself, use them for a draw at your event, or share them with those attending your event.....the choice is yours!

Do I have to pay for it myself?
There are a couple of option you can consider.
  1. If you choose to pay for it yourself......you will be hosting an event and treating your friends to a ladies night out.....stamping fun(and keeping all the leftovers for yourself)!
  2. Or you can share the costs with those attending! You could pay for the tools portion of the kit....mainly stamp sets, ink pads, punches, etc., etc.....these products are yours to keep once your event is over...........charge your guests for the consumbables(cardstock, ribbon, adhesive, etc., etc.)!
  3. Or.......you could divide the W2G costs between everyone, and share ALL the leftovers once the event is over!
What will be in the W2G kit?
Project kits.....10 of each project.
Supplies needed to complete each projects.
1 set of written instructions for each project.
1 completed sample for each project.
Level 1 hostess set(FREE)....choosen by you!
$20 FREE product....choosen by you!

Will you create a custom W2G for my special event?
Yes, of course!

Will I need other supplies for my event?
Yes.
Although most supplies will be part of the kit, you will need to provide a few basics......trimmers, scissors, adhesive, etc.!

Why would I want to purchase a W2G?
W2G might interest....
  • those that LOVE to craft and have very busy schedules!
  • someone wanting to host a stamping get together without having a actual workshop(with the presence of a demonstrator, and order forms).........your event will have no sales attached, simply a FUN stamping time with friends/family!
  • someone planning a get together and would like to have a fun activity as part of the gathering(showers, parties, reunions, etc.)
Could I use a W2G as a fundraiser?
Yes......all fundraising events would earn 20% off the kit, and 20% from sales at the event!

Can I use W2G if I am a demontrator?
Yes.....W2G can be used as a service to demonstrators that would like to purchase a kit for the workshops they are hosting.....I will create custom kits that will feature products you are wanting to showcase.
