Becoming a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator??
I would just like to take a few minutes to share my Stampin’ Up! story with you!
21 years ago, one of my friends took me to a Stampin’ Up! party! Michele and I had been talking and I mentioned that I was really into scrapbooking! She said “you should look at Stampin’ Up!” I of course asked what Stampin’ Up! was and she invited me to a party she was hosting! That was it for me!
So go back a couple of years before that party, I was an IT consultant for Hospitals that were installing new computer systems. I knew Healthcare software and also Hospital operations and what Hospitals needed to do to implement new systems. I had 2 little kids and was very busy and also traveling around to various hospitals. Not very good for a Mom that wanted a Family life for her kids. So I left the professional world to stay home with my kids and immediately knew that I needed to find something for me to do during the days they were in school!
So I attended my first Stampin’ Up! party in 2001 with my friend Michele! I was immediately hooked! My husband told me that I needed to find a way to pay for my new hobby. So I signed up in October of 2001 as a Demonstrator.
While my kids were young, my goal was my kids and I slowly built my business over time. The ironic part is that the next summer in 2002, my friend Michele and her husband started their family. She was also working as a consultant and didn’t want to travel anymore. So she took a part time job and also signed up as a Demonstrator on my team!! The rest is history!
I have to say that it was the best career decision that I made. I was able to tailor my business around kid’s schedules. Over the past 20+ years I have made the best friends – both other Demonstrators and my customers!
Fast Forward to 2023. It is now Sale-a-bration and there are great opportunities for those that want to join Stampin’ Up! and my team!
What do I love about Stampin’ UP! Where do I start?
- I Love the Creativity! I have always been a very creative person.
- Stampin’ Up!’s High Quality products. Stampin’ Up! does a lot of research and testing on tools and products that they develop. If a product does not meet their standards, it is immediately pulled from inventory!
- All Products coordinate: Stampin’ Up! designs their cardstock, designer papers, ribbons and embellishments around their 50 unique colors. Everything coordinates and matches! I love the fact that I can choose a stamp set and some designer paper and everything is going to coordinate!
- There are 50 Unique Colors that are divided into color families. For each color there is cardstock, ink, markers and blends (alcohol markers), embellishments and ribbons!
- Early Access to new Products: Demonstrators can pre-order one month before new catalogs go live!
- Community – Stampin’ Up! is a global business with a world-wide community of stampers and sharers! The opportunities for connection and community are endless!
- The opportunity to Design your own Business – There are many different types of Demonstrators. People who just want to buy the product for themselves and family and friends or those that would like to setup a business. It’s up to you!
- Access to Demonstrator only events – I have been to many different fun cities with members of my team over the years. Each event is so much fun as we learn about new products that are being released or products that Stampin’ Up! is currently designing.
- Access to my Team NEstampINKers – We have our own FB page for questions and sharing ideas! We have quarterly meetings we swap cards with new products, exchange ideas, and participate in Stampin’ UP! events.
- Access to me as your upline! I will help you setup your business if that is what you are looking for!
- …and so many more things
