My demonstrator holds these pretty much each month. She picks a stamp (not sure how she does that but its usually out of the flyer or new catalog-something popular), charges us for the cost of the stamp, we go to her house and we do three cards using the stamp. Its a great way for us non-demonstrators to actually get to know how to use the stamp. She usually shows a technique too, like embossing, eyelets, not anything too complicated because you want people in and out. These stamps end up getting used all the time by me (and my friends) because I have examples I can look at, touch, feel, all of that stuff. I have lots of stamps at home that I rarely use because I need the example. I think a lot of us need that. She also has special classes (like Halloween, Christmas). This Halloween we paid $5 and walked out with three cards and envelopes. Christmas, we leave with 15 cards for $20. She always gets a full house, everyone is happy because they either have completed projects, or stamps with cards they can use or keep for inspiration.
She sets up times during the day for her monthly stamp, we sign up for what time slot we want (usually 1 1/2 hours she sets aside for each group) and we send her our money by her deadline.
Love these classes. Hope this helps.
