Hats off to you two! I’m really impressed with the level of quality and professionalism of your service. I can totally see how this will save me lots of time. I spend the biggest portion of my time figuring out what to do and then typing up all the dimensions/instructions for my stamp club. You really have covered all the bases! Thank you!!!
Fri Jan 11 at 9:44 pm
Kudos to you! I was very impressed with the information and tools provided. You did an impressive job. All the materials were well written and easy to understand. Class in a Flash will definitely save me time. I’m already looking forward to the next issue. Thank you!

I just love this CIAF. Can’t wait to see future issues! Aloha, Teri
Fri Jan 11 at 10:07 pm
Wow…great stuff here. Very thorough and exact. Now I just need to schedule some classes to use the information!
Fri Jan 11 at 10:22 pm
WOW, this is great!! I signed up for a membership and cannot wait to see what’s next!!
Fri Jan 11 at 10:38 pm
Wow girls I got my class yesterday and its great. Even though I am from Australia I know that I can change it to suit what we have in our Catty. Really impressed girls
Congratulations
Fri Jan 11 at 11:26 pm
Very clear and well done. Can we buy each month after we see it or only as a back order? I’d like to subscribe but I like to see what it is first.
Sat Jan 12 at 7:58 am
Joanne,
We will announce the latest issue a few days after we send it to our subscribers each month. Every issue will be delivered on the 10th of the month.
Thanks,
Debbie

I was just blown away buy the quality of this CIAF. I can’t wait to get to my room and start making the projects. I am going to add a class towards the end of this month just to use this. This has just freed up several of hours for “me”. That alone for me is worth the cost! I am looking forward to the next one. This is one terrific tool!
Sat Jan 12 at 2:37 pm
WOW!!!! I can’t believe the work that went into this!! And, the work I won’t have to do!!! This is a great resource, and well worth the cost!! It’s nice to know that I’ll have this all done for me each month!! Thanks so much!!
Thu Jan 17 at 5:23 pm
This is incredible! What organization and planning skills you two have. I am so looking forward to sharing these projects with my students and to make these projects for my own use and as gifts. I have many seniors as friends who will adore these projects. I can’t wait for next month!!!
Thanks a bunch for an amazing and cost saving solution for me!
Sun Feb 10 at 11:42 am
WOW! another fantastic instalment, I only hope we(Australia) get rub on’s when our new catalogue is released in April.
Sun Feb 10 at 2:10 pm
I love it already and haven’t even made them yet!
Thanks, This will be a fun addition to my Rub-on Class.
Sun Feb 10 at 5:22 pm
I love the second class too!!!!!!
I held the Love Box class last week and it was a GREAT SUCCESS. Looking forward to lots of ideas for classes THANK YOU
Mon Feb 11 at 5:37 pm
This project is great, however I am confused about the measurements for the box top. The supply list says 5 7/8 x 11, the instructions say 5 5/8 x 11, and the template says 5 3/4 x 11. Can you straighten me out? I must be missing something.
Tue Feb 12 at 9:54 pm
Wow much classier than I had imagined. I’m really impressed and think this just may get me scheduling my classes on a regular basis.
Wed Feb 13 at 1:23 am
Marlene,
We are so glad you like the project!
I apologize for the confusing instructions. You caught a typo, thank you for letting us know! I have corrected the documents and they will be updated to download.
The templates have the correct measurements. The supply list and instructions were incorrect, as I transposed measurements. Sorry to cause confusion! The cardstock box bottom is 5 5/8″ x 10 7/8″. The acetate box top is 5 3/4″ x 11″.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We appreciate your support and patience as we work through the bugs of starting up a new product!
Warm Regards,
-Amy
Wed Feb 13 at 6:52 pm
First of all, I love the classes!! Both so far have been wonderful!! And, I love the instructions with photos. BUT, I was wondering if you could also include a one page instruction sheet for customers? The photo ones are so long, and it’s costly to print or have copies made. I like to have one copy to put on the table, but maybe a shorter version to include in their packets?
Just a suggestion!! thanks for all your hard work!!!
Wed Feb 13 at 7:34 pm
I just wanted you to know that I have been very impressed with your monthly newsletter services! Everything is well organized, deadlines are met and topics are timely! And, whenever goofballs like me screw up, ask for something special or need a little help, you smile and acquiesce to our “demands!”
) You are da bomb, kiddos!!
However, I think what pushed me over to being your #1 fan is when I received the Feb. Class in A Flash! HOLY SNIKEY GIRLS!!! Talk about thorough detail and everything you’d want on a silver platter! Unbelievable! If my other two FREE issues are as good as this one, you have me sold on this service, too!
Wed Feb 13 at 8:53 pm
I love your newsletters and can hardly wait to start scheduling regular monthly classes. I just wanted to respond to your question about a Canadian version. I would love a version with our pricing, but really, it’s not that difficult to convert. Thanks for all of your time and hard work.
Wed Feb 13 at 9:10 pm
Wow!! Your February Issue is stunning…even if you don’t use this for a class it makes an amazing gift for someone…I can’t wait to get my classes up and going. Great Job! Your hard work has really paid off and I know I appreciate how much it helps me out.
***It is definately no problem doing the Canadian conversion myself, however if you do decide to offer a canadian issue I would be on board***
Thu Feb 14 at 2:57 am
Thanks so much! I absolutely love these. These plans are totally liberating!! I usually spend so much time trying to figure out I am going to do that I don’t end up doing anything!!!! I actually have classes scheduled & have started my prep work!! Can hardly wait to see what wonderful stuff you come up with next!!
Sun Feb 24 at 7:42 am
I’m a UK SU rep, although we dont have much product wise I am sure these will be very useful and could be adapted easily.
Thanks so much
Caz
Sun Feb 24 at 1:19 pm
OMG! This is the best! I am in a real slump right now and when my customers see this I just know they’ll want to come back. Thanks for all your hard work and making it easier for me!
Stampingly yours,
Terry~~
Mon Feb 25 at 12:17 pm
This would be a good kit, but I cannot use it for what I do. I have six all card clubs that meet once a month. Since there is only one card that is designed in the kit I would still be short four cards. I am better doing it the way I am doing it now.
Thanks tough, good product.
Tue Feb 26 at 5:08 am
FANTASTIC!!! So much time was put into that!
Thu Feb 28 at 4:02 am
These classes are absolutely wonderful!! I rec. the free trial one, bought Feb.’s class and then joined for monthly classes. Cannot wait to get mine each month. Please make it early, so I don’t have to wait all day!!! LOL
Thu Feb 28 at 2:31 pm
I am impressed with CIAF. It has a lot of good ideas. I am starting a stamp club in March so I might use some of these and sign up for a subscription. The measurements are really useful. I hate trying to figure out sizes just by looking at a picture.
Mon Mar 3 at 11:40 pm
I wouldn’t have believed how fantastic Class in a Flash is without seeing for myself! You’ve thought of everything in the work/planning stage leaving more time to really enjoy the stamping part. Thanks!
Mon Mar 10 at 11:01 pm
I absolutely LOVE class in a flash. Thankyou for your Customer Summary instructions, they are a great idea.
Your projects are gorgeous and I am hanging out for our new catalogue here in Australia, so we get to play with these products!
Sun Mar 16 at 3:07 pm
I received your free class in a flash and loved how simple it was to follow….I’m from Canada so I am really hoping you will decide to do a Canadian version of this…I will most likely be signing up in the near future as I have only been a SU demonstrator for 2 weeks and need to try and get a cliet base first….thank you.
Sun Mar 16 at 9:53 pm
Thanks,
Just was able to finally look at my Free copy.
Plan on making it this week. I have already passed on your Web address to my downline. I’ll be checking out the membership!
Wed Mar 19 at 5:10 am
Great can hardly wait to get my first one.
Wed Mar 26 at 2:09 pm
I’m blown away by the professional look of this product and the price is beyond unbelievable. You guys are the best to share this product with us, this will save me more time than I can even calculate!!! Thank you!

Debbie and Amy,
Please keep the customer instruction summary. I use it so my customers that move faster/slower can follow along if I’m either ahead of them, or they are ahead to me when I’m working with other customers.
Thanks,

Thank you so much for the time and effort you have put into creating CIAF!
I am also from Canada and hoping that you have enough interest to warrant creating a CDN version.
I became a demo only two weeks ago but I can definitely see the value in subscribing to your monthly service.
Keep up the great work!
Thank you.
Mon Mar 31 at 5:26 pm
This is a SUPER benefit to all of us! You have taken the time that many of us don’t have in the course of our busy lives. Thanks so much for all your help in making our lives easier! This a definite “MUST HAVE” service! Thanks for offering this to us! Hugs Kay
Mon Mar 31 at 10:24 pm
WAY TO GO LADIES! You found a niche in Stampin’ Up! business and you filled it; I for one am Grateful to you for thinking of it, sharing it with us, and the HUGE amount of work you put into completing the project packages. I work very hard coming up with projects for classes/clubs but never have I had the confidence that I now have with your resources! Blessings to you! Jackie
Sat Apr 5 at 8:05 pm
Great Product!!!! But I do not think it will work for my customer base. They only want to do cards. We do three cards at each THO w/s. Would you consider an alternate CIAF for the demos whose customer base does not want anything other than cards? Looking forward to your reply…..K
Tue Apr 8 at 9:00 am
Thank you for your input Kathleen. We appreciate your comments and will consider the possibility of adding additional services in the future. At this time we do not have plans to offer a card only subscription. The classes will almost always include at least one card and many contain five card sets. Pricing is broken down between 3-D and card projects to make it easier for you to use all or part of any class as suits your needs.
Tue Apr 8 at 12:56 pm
I really loved the sample project. I can see the benefits of having this resource, and am going to sign up for a subscription. This will save me hours and hours of “developing” an idea, making samples, tweeking it, etc. That’s where I spend most of my time. Thanks again!
Thu Apr 17 at 6:21 pm
I just had to come back and say how excited I am with my subscription. The first project (Brag About Mom book) is perfect for the just announced May special of “on board” items. I don’t have enough time to get this ready for my May class, but I’m going to use it for my June classes. That way we can take advantage of this special. I might make this a “vacation” book instead of a Mom book…thanks for the inspirations!
Sat Apr 26 at 2:35 pm
I am totally blown away by your product. I am a step-by-step picture stamper and this is just what I need. The best thing is that I was able to sell my husband on this service and he was on board 100% – surprises me too! I can’t wait to see what you have coming next month. I bow before you two with great apprecation!
Sat Apr 26 at 9:30 pm
I have been wanting to do monthly classes for a couple of years but have been reluctant. I’ve been reluctant because I feel like I need tio reinvent the wheel each time. I just LOVE the way this is all packaged!!!It’s everythign I need and the projects are too too cute. Thanks so much for offering this service!
Mon Apr 28 at 3:56 pm
Very professional layout of classes. I look forward to implementing your class.
Sat May 10 at 2:30 pm
Your timing is perfect. I have 2 classes scheduled for the Mom’s brag book, and should be able to have samples of the Tag class ready before then. This is really helping me keep on top of things. Thanks again and again for CIAF.
Sat May 10 at 5:51 pm
Thanks for the great projects – I am a hobby demo, and it is just so hard for me to come up with ideas every month for my stamp club. This will really help me! You are so thorough! I couldn’t wait to get my first month subscription! Thank you!
Thu May 22 at 2:33 pm
I just opened my sample Class in a Flash this morning. Wow, it’s so thorough and well done. You have a new subscriber here. Thanks so much for your wonderful product.
Sun Jun 1 at 8:12 am
I tried the free trial and I have been so impressed by how well put together and easy to follow it is! I was so impressed I ordered another for my next class. I am in Australia so I had to change a couple of things but it is still amazing! Thank you.
Sun Jun 1 at 10:06 pm
WOW! Thank you so much. I am so impressed with the quality of your work and the amazing detail. I will be subscribing.
Tue Jun 3 at 3:00 am
I just received my sample CIAF. It’s incredible! Right now I’m a hobbyist, but I’m trying to get my business to at least pay for itself – I think a product like this may help. I’ll probably subscribe in the next week or two…I’m one who has to mull things over for a bit! But it really is amazing — WONDERFUL JOB!
Tue Jun 3 at 3:05 am
OK, I thought about it for at least 10 minutes — and subscribed! It’s a great deal.
Tue Jun 10 at 3:29 pm
June is by far the best, so many projects, they are all awesome. I look forward to the 10th every month!!
One small suggestion, can we get them two months in advance so we have time to order and plan? Such as this month get in May so we can have a class in June.
Thanks again for all of your hard work! Love every month!
Thu Jun 12 at 2:04 pm
I just recieved my complimentary class and really love it. The only problem is the in colors. They are expiring in a month and I don’t want to invest in those this late in the year. If I can come up with existing colors, that will be by best option. I am on the fence right now, whether to keep up my SU demo, or let it go. I can’t wait to see what Junes class will be. This could keep me in the game.
Thanks so much for coming up with these great projects.
Cindy
Wed Jul 9 at 9:14 am
Cindy, I’m so glad we can be of assistance and I certainly do hope you remain a demonstrator with Stampin’ Up! There are so many wonderful things to come, you won’t want to miss it.
Class in a Flash offers suggestions and photos for using alternate stamp sets and color combinations to allow you to re-create the project to your style or for other occasions in every issue. Allowing you to use the class materials for more than just a one-time class.
Thu Jul 17 at 9:27 pm
WOW! Absolutely LOVE the simplicity and elegance of this black and white CIAF set. Very NICE job!
Thu Sep 11 at 2:38 pm
Sept 2008 Class in a Flash – GREAT projects.Love the spider. Thankyou you do very nice work and I appreciate your efforts.
Fri Jan 30 at 4:04 pm
I just signed up for the February Class in a Flash. I can’t wait to see what you have for us!
Sat Mar 14 at 4:32 pm
It was soooooooooooo worth the wait! I am blown away by the free trial class, Tag You’re It! Thank you so much for letting us sample before buying! I am going to make this work into my budget…. Look for me soon! Suzie
