Classes by Mail
(scroll down for mini photos of classes)

These are the actual packets of supplies and instructions I give to those who take my classes. Lots of Demonstrators/Rubber Stamp Teachers have purchased them (to "take the class by mail") and duplicated them to teach to their own students. (I do allow this as long as my copyright is intact...I do not allow you to enter my ideas or patterns in contests, on web sites, or magazines etc., and I do ask that if you have other Demonstrators/RS Teachers wanting the kit that you do not duplicate and give it to them, but have them order from me) Anyways, enough about that. :)

I have 17 classes now. I do not include the stamps, inks, glues, scissors, hole punches etc...I do include the other supplies needed. (Some of my supplies are not SU...for example: wine glass, candies, matchbooks, candles, cellobags, papers, cardstocks, etc) I ask for $$ + one of your handstamped display cards + $3.95 s/h per kit ordered...you will save on the S/H if you order more than one.

Some of the classes do use discontinued stamps but you can easily substitute new stamp sets for the projects. I will be revising them eventually but haven't done so yet.
