Final 2 Days of the Stampin Potioner Deal Ends March 2

 

We are down to the final days of the Exclusive Join Deal that gives you the new Stampin' Positioner FREE when you join Stampin Up!  Until March 2nd, Purchase the $99 Starter kit and get the new Stampin' Positioner added in your kit free.  For the $99, you get to choose ANY $125 worth of products.  The kit also ships free.  Once you join you get a 20% off discount on all the products you love. You get this discount for a full quarter and try it out.   There are no further obligations, so if you don't want to purchase any thing further that is ok. You'll have access to the Demonstrator side of the Stampin' Up! website through June, so you can do a test drive and see what you want to do.  You can simply drop after June or if you make the minimum purchases or sales you can stay further.  It's up to you.  You can be your only customer, or you can sell to a few friends you craft with, be their own personal demonstrator, or you can start your own business and host classes or workshops, make a blog or videos, what ever you like.  My favorite part is the community of friends that I have met at events and Official Stampin' Up Gatherings or casual get togethers. 

I made a little video for this new to Stampin' Up! product, you can see it here:

Last day to get the Amazing $35 starter kit!

 

Friday is the Last Day to get the Amazing Starter Kit special!!  And even though it is Halloween, there are no tricks! All Treats!!  You get to choose ANY $125 worth of products and only pay $35.  That is AMAZING and really if you have $35 on  your wish list, that's like one stamp and die set, then this is a no-brainer!  There are NO further obligations.  Stock up on Adhesives or get some ink colors you don't have. Maybe you are a scrapbooker, you can get some of the scrapbook kits, maybe a new paper trimmer. There is just so much to choose from and there is something for everyone! 

Here are some common questions: 

Why would I want to join instead of stay a customer? When you join you get all the same sales and promotions that a customer gets, including Stampin' Rewards, but on top of that you also get some additional perks. You get a 20% discount to start, which can increase over time with sales. You get access to the Demonstrator Website and other online and in-person demonstrator communities. You get to purchase new products a month before they go live, see sneak peeks, and more. 

If I've joined before and stopped, can I still take advantage of a starter kit promotion again? Yes, you can join again! We all go through times when we have more time for hobbies and then times when we get too busy or want to do something else. You can join Stampin' Up! and take advantage of this deal even if you have done it before. 

Do I have to sell?  No, you do not.  You can make the starter kit your only purchase, or you can shop using your new discount for just yourself. 

How long do I get to keep the discount if I don't sell?  You will be considered active until the end of March 2036. After that, if you have sold or purchased $300 (before your discount), you will get an additional 3 months. Every three months after that if you sell of purchase $300 you can keep having access to the demonstrator discount and access to the online demonstrator portal to the demo website, online community and other demo perks. If you don't meet that goal, your access will end. That's it, no penalties or forced purchases. 

If I join as a hobbyist (not to sell to others) do I still get to attend all the online and in-person events? Yes, you can take part in the various online community events, craft nights, in-person large and small get togethers, and more.   

What types of non-sales perks are there? Stampin' Up! has a HUGE community and strives to keep us connected.  Connection is a big priority to our CEO and Stampin' Up! keeps us connected through many large and some smaller groups. There are several Online communities to join, some for idea sharing, or just crafting together, some for business building. They also pop in several different smaller groups through out the year to help people with other specific topics, such as staring an online presence or learning how to use the demo website or other things like that. They host demo craft nights online as well. There are also in-person events. There are several regions in the United States and each region has a manager. Those manager also host in-person events as they travel, and have online events too, usually in a private Facebook group.   

Why does Stampin' Up! need my personal info if I don't intent to sell?  Once you have access to the demonstrator website and purchasing discounts, you have the potential to earn money. Stampin' Up! offers volume rebates and other income opportunities, and as such they are required to let the  IRS know if you have earned money and prizes over a certain amount. They also need to have a way to pay you.  If you only make the minimums, you will probably never get a tax form, I didn't for several years after I joined for the discount when my children were little. As I started holding classes and selling, I started making enough money to not qualify as this being a hobby.  Each state may have a different threshold, I am not sure what those are, you would have to ask an accountant.  Stampin' Up! safeguards your info and I, nor anyone other than the payroll office, have access to any of your info.  They take this seriously. 

Can I really make money with Stampin' Up!?  Yes. You can make a little money on the side or make this to a bigger business. It's up to you.  I consider myself a 'business builder' now as I have a nice income coming in each month, but I put in the work. It's become a part time job for me, I put in about 25 hours a week, sometimes more.  I have friends who work harder at it and it shows in their income and rewards, several earn the Annual Incentive Trip each year.  It does take work, consistency and time to build a business, but it can be done, if you want.  Of just do it as you like and make a little income. When I first joined I just wanted the discount.  Then I wanted to earn a little side money to cover all my expenditures, so I was at a net zero for craft spending.  I really love arts and crafts and wanted to go back to taking art classes in watercolor and drawing. The classes I wanted to take cost a couple hundred dollars a semester and I wanted to cover all my 'fun' things so that I wasn't spending family money. My husband didn't care and always said I should take the classes, but it was a goal for me. I cover all my extra art classes, even added an acrylics class. I cover my large paint buying and art supply buying habits. I cover all my scrapbooking and card making fun, all my Stampin' trips to conventions including hotels and air fare, food and fun, all with my Stampin' Up! and teaching classes income.  Last year I even took money out of my Stampin' bank account and started an investment account.  

Why Join my Team?  I do not have a huge team, or a huge Stampin' Up! business, I would say it's small to middle size, but I do have a heart for sharing and stamping.  I can help you start up a blog, navigate the Demonstrator websites, YouTube or set up classes if you want.  We have a monthly card swap that you can join in on, a team Facebook Page to share the latest goings on. I give a discount to my classes to team members, Team members can use any of my class projects in their own classes after mine has run,  and if I make any project files or PDF's I share them on the Team Facebook Page.  Team meet ups in person and on zoom.  I go to just about all the big Stampin' Up! events, so I can help you navigate those if you want to road trip or meet up at an event.  You can participate in nothing or everything, it's up to you. 

As the seasons in our lives change, so can how you approach your Stampin' Up! hobby/business.  When my children were little I just bought from myself as my only customer. Then I started a very small scrapbook group with a few moms for several years.  As some of the moms had more children or went back to work, that group changed into a card class group and that has grown into a bigger card class each month.  When I had a third child I took a step back and only did a class now and then, but started a blog and selling a bit online.  As my children grew I stepped my business back up and do more classes again and more online as well.  That's the nice thing, the independence, you can do it how ever it works for you.  Someday in the near future we will be empty nesters! Yikes!!   Will I take a step back when my husband retires and do more traveling? Will I step it up and do more even more classes?  I don't know!  Will I ever stop? No! Not as long as I can help it! I love doing what I do and sharing what I love. I love the community of friends that I have made. 

This is my daughter making a scrapbook page. so cute.  She is now 16 and she helps me in my business cutting and prepping packets for my classes.  My little business gives her a little side cash as well, when she's not out and about driving all over that is! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's me that one time I got to make to make the display samples at a convention! Fun! 

There are two different deals, $125 worth of products for only $35, or $189 for only $99. Either way you got $90 worth of products Free.  The larger deal would be good if you want a larger ticket item, such as the Die Cut and Embossing Machine.   Feel Free to contact me with ANY questions!

Great New Starter Kit Special

 

Today's the day! The new Starter kit deal starts now!  If you love crafting, then this is for you! For the month of October, the Starter Kit is on sale! There are 2 ways to save. You can purchase the starter kit for $35 and get $125 worth of products, any current products of your choice.  Or, you can pay $99 and choose any $189 worth of current products.  That's $90 in FREE products!!  

So what does joining mean? Well it's really up to you. You can be your only customer and think of joining as a savers club because you will receive a 20%-25% discount on any future orders, although you don't have to make any future orders, there is no commitment.  Or you can be the demonstrator for a small group of your crafting friends and take some orders here and there.  Or you can go a bit further and start an online presence and show others how to craft. You can make projects and take orders for supplies, or sell classes and kits online. Or start hosting some classes in-person and be the go to demonstrator for your group.  The great thing is that as an independent demonstrator, you do it your way.  I started in February 2005! Over 20 years ago! I started just for the discount and continued that way for several years. A few of the other mom's I knew wanted to get together to scrapbook and so I hosted a scrapbook group for a couple years until I had a third baby and stepped back for awhile.  As my children grew and became more independent, I had more time to expand my business and now host several in-person classes a month as well as this blog, facebook group and YouTube Channel.  

No matter how you do it, there are lots of great reasons to join. Here are just a few! 

• Community. Stampin’ Up! offers a space where a community of crafters from all over the world can connect and create together. There are virtual company sponsored groups, as well as in-person meet ups.  I get together with a few other demonstrators each month. We share ideas, chit chat, grab a coffee or meal and of course, craft!    We also have a monthly mail in card swap to share ideas.
• Product. Unlike customers, demonstrators get early access to the latest releases and catalogs, as well a 20–25% product discount and commission. In fact, some new products just came out today and they can be added to your starter kit.
• Experiences. Demonstrators can foster creative, simple, and fun, crafting experiences for their team and customers. They’re all about making a difference and sharing the crafting experience with others.
• Empowerment. Being a demonstrator can mean so much more than just crafting. It can also mean personal development and expanding your circle to include other people and new experiences.
• Supplemental Income. Demonstrators have the potential to earn a modest supplemental income and run their business on a flexible schedule.
• Incredible Join Offers. Thanks to our two best Starter Kit offers ever, your customers can save big when they join. And with so many amazing perks to being a demonstrator, the only hard choice they have to make is what items to put in their Starter Kit.

Amazing New Starter Kit deal

 

There is an AMAZING new Starter Kit special going on right now.  The starter kit is always a great deal, but this special just takes things to a whole new level!   When you purchase a starter kit in May, you will get an additional $82 in new products added to your kit! And these are all new products, the new In Color products!  You will get all 5 new In Color Ink Pads, all 5 new In Color Markers, as well as a pack of new In Color Cardstock and a pack of new In Color Designer Series Paper. The rest of the starter kit is up to you.  To purchase a starter kit you pick ANY $125 worth of products, your choice. Get stamps, paper, a die cut machine, you decide. Then just pay $99 plus tax, and it ships FREE. The $82 in new In Color products will be added in.  That means that for $99 you will get $207 worth of products! Amazing.

You will then be a part of the Stampin' Up! demonstrator community.  You don't have to sell or demonstrate, but you can if you wish.  When I joined 15 years ago I joined to get the demo discount. This is the majority of demonstrators and it's a perfectly great reason to join, they are the life of Stampin' Up! If you choose, you can decide to promote Stampin' Up! in small ways by getting a couple friends together to stamp or craft and placing orders for them. Or you can build a business for yourself.  It's up to you. There are no forced purchases, not obligations.  You can purchase the starter kit and never purchase another thing.  But, I think you will find that there is a great community of demonstrators and idea sharing out there, groups to join, products to explore, crafts to be made.  I though I would drop once I had all the ink pad and paper colors.  But I never did. I love this community.  I was my only customer for many years, but then as my children got older and started school, I had more time to craft with others and my business grew. Now I love creating card classes for others and sharing Stampin' Up! My little hobby has grown into a little business.

Northern Lights Technique with Arctic Bears bundle from Stampin' Up!

 

I am still using the fun Polar Bears from the Arctic Bears stamp and dies from Stampin' Up!   Today I am creating another style of background that mimics the Northern Lights. 

Have you ever seen the Northern Lights in person? I have not, but I hope to one day! They sound so magical!

 

 

 I used Sponge Daubers to add color in diagonal stripes across the background. On my first cards, I sponged the entire background. I then stamped and cut out the landscape on a separate piece of Basic White and glued it on top of the sponged sky.

I decided to try it again but this time I stamped the landscape onto the Basic White, and again on a Post-it note. I cut out the Post-it note and placed it on top of the stamped landscape to mask it from the sponging.  This second version looks the same as the first and was pretty easy, so if you have a Post-It note, give that a try! 

I love the sentiments that are included in the set.  I chose the 'Thinking of You' sentiment for the front and added the 'My heart is with you every step of the way' to the inside.  

The Arctic Bears bundle is one of the options for a FREE bundle add-on when you join Stampin' Up! in September.  The join deal is always a good one, one to think about any time your order is close to $100.  With the starter kit, you can choose ANY $125 worth of products but pay only $99.  Then, during Sale-a-bration, you get to choose an additional FREE bundle from a selection of 12 new bundles in the mini catalog! Once you join, you have no further obligations to purchase.  You will get a 20% discount to start, and you will keep that if you make $300 in sales or purchases a quarter, but you can also just not buy anything else at all.  It's up to you.  We are hoping you will love the community of demonstrators, whether you teach card making to others or just use the discount for yourself.  I also have a private FaceBook group for team members to help you along your journey.  contact me with any questions!  Here are all the choices for the bonus bundle with the join deal!

 

Shop with me! I would love to be your demonstrator.  I always send a hand stamped thank you card and sometimes more with a larger order, and I share my Stampin' Rewards with you through my Frequent Buyer Rewards! Earn FREE STAMPS! Click on the Frequent buyer tab to download the tracking sheet.

Is your wish list large?  Join my team! You don't have to 'Demonstrate' to be a 'Demonstrator'.  Join Stampin' Up! and get a nice discount on the products you love, and you can quit at any time.  Joining for the discount and social aspects of Stampin' Up! is a great reason.  Contact me with any questions.

Sale-a-Bration join deal is the best deal yet!

 

We all love Sale-a-Bration because we can get bonus rewards when we shop!

But, that's still not what makes the Starter Kit the best deal. The true value comes in the amazing opportunities and community of demonstrators that you become a part of. It's been the most amazing journey that I never expected to take.

Most demonstrators join because they love the products and want a discount. Who doesn't love a discount? Most demonstrators I know, say they stay because they love being a part of this great community.

There is a place for you whether you like to create, want to gather with a few friends and share what you know, or if you want to create a growing business. I hope you'll consider joining my team and see where it can take you!
