Stash to Treasure Reveal!

Good Morning!  Are you ready to hear more about Stash to Treasure?  Well, it's finally time to give you the whole scoop.  The website is nearly ready, the first class is prepared, and it's time to share all our little secrets with you!

Here's how it will work: Each month, we will be bring you a full class from a leading teacher in the industry.  I can't share many names with you just yet, but I can tell you that the teacher lineup is amazing!  These teachers have some of the most creative brains on the planet, and one or two of them will be sharing all of that with you each month.

Each class will be posted throughout the first week of the month, and follow (roughly) this format:
  • One "Main" video each day, detailing that day's portion of the project.
  • One additional video each day, detailing a technique and providing step-by-step instructions so you can recreate it.
  • One photo tutorial each day with yet ANOTHER technique, or a list of tips related to a design technique that they are using.
In addition to roughly 12 videos and 6 tutorials, you will also get additional exclusive content throughout the remainder of the month.  Things like exclusive sketches, subscribers-only giveaways, more tutorials, fun challenges, and other DIY projects are all in the works.   Now, some classes might be formatted differently depending on the project we will be bringing you, but that is the general idea of what you can expect.  Sweet, huh?!  :)

Each class will have a kit that corresponds to it, so you can follow along and recreate the teacher's project exactly.  Kits will be available in the YSS store (and you WILL be able to use your coupon codes on them). Or, if you prefer, you can just subscribe to Stash to Treasure and follow along with the class using items from your stash.

Now, here is the best part: Stash to Treasure subscriptions are only $5 per month.  Yes, that's right... you get all that content from top-notch teachers for just $5 per month!

Subscriptions will be available on Friday!  Thursday I will bring you the FULL reveal of my Travel Album Class, the very first Stash to Treasure Class that will be posted in October.

Ok, so leave me a comment and let me know what you think, and one lucky commenter will get the first month free (which means you will get my entire class for free!).

Can't wait until Thursday!

So cool! Can't wait to see who the teachers will be!

I am . . . said...

Oh my - this sounds like fun!

Joni Parker said...

So, if you subscribe will the $ automatically be debited each month? What is the "terms" of subscription? (cancel policy, skip a class...etc) Or have we just not gotten to those questions yet? I'm excited and ready...so I want all the deets!!

Alyssa said...

Joni,

You can subscribe for 1, 3, or 6 months at a time, via Paypal. Subscription info will be on the YSS home page starting on Friday, the 1st. Subscriptions will be billed to your credit card or paypal balance monthly for each month you commit to, and then you have the choice to cancel or renew. You may also cancel mid-subscription if you like, but you will have to do that through Paypal. At this time, we do not have an option to skip a class. We will be posting the teacher lineup for the next 6 months as soon as we finalize the details. Does that make sense? :) Let me know what other questions you have.

Erica said...

Joni - you have a choice of a month to month subscription or you can chose a 3 or 6 month term. You can sign up and the money will be debited each month from your account.

You have the right to cancel at any time but we cannot offer any refunds. We are paying our designers so to be fair, we need to make sure their content is protected.
