Wowsers! November 15-30 Recruit Special! Check it out!


Whether you want to purchase your own stamping supplies at a discount, to earn some extra money from your hobby, or to build a business, Stampin’ Up!® provides you with the opportunity to reach your goals.

There are all kinds of demonstrators, and Stampin’ Up! needs each of them! What kind of demonstrator would you be?

Career Demonstrator:
You view Stampin’ Up! as a viable business with long-term career potential. You pursue a management role, and you want to continue moving up with your Stampin’ Up! career. You love attending Stampin’ Up! events and have close relationships with other demonstrators. You work at your business in a consistent and outgoing manner.

Hobby Demonstrator:You love doing workshops and earning extra money when it is convenient. You work a lot some months and very little other months. You will do workshops if they are easy to book, and maybe have a regular group that meets together once a month. You enjoy the rewards that being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator brings, but you don’t plan to make Stampin’ Up! a career.

Seasonal Demonstrator:You work hard for a short period of time or season to earn a specific amount of money or to achieve a specific goal, and then you maintain minimum orders and sales during the balance of the year.

Discount Demonstrator:
You like the idea of buying stamps and supplies for your personal use at a 20 percent discount and occasionally selling to neighbors, relatives, friends, etc.


As you can see, this is a fun, flexible business you can build to suit your individual needs and goals.

Call me (269-689-7006) today if you are interested in learning more about becoming a demonstrator during this awesome promotion!  What a great way to get in on a wonderful opportunity!  You can also drop me an email!

The pattern paper is Deck The Halls from the mini.



On this card I used the Smooch Moonlight

Updated ABC for The Holidays

An Ut Oh and A Woo Hoo all in one!

This was posted this morning on the SU website.  Please take note!

Decorative Label Punch on Backorder

October 20, 2010

Beginning with the Holiday Mini preorder period, we have experienced a very high demand for our new Decorative Label Punch in the Holiday Mini Catalog. We knew this punch would be popular based on demonstrator research and had planned accordingly, placing numerous orders for this item to prepare for the Holiday Mini sales period.


Unfortunately, while we have thousands of these punches in production and in transit to our warehouse, our vendor has just informed us that they will not arrive as soon as we expected. Based on our current inventory levels, we expect to go into backorder starting today, October 20.

We recognize that this punch is not only in the Holiday Mini Catalog, but also part of our Handmade Holiday promotion that started October 19; we want to minimize the negative impact this situation will have on you and your customers, so we are implementing the following measures:


***We will continue to offer the Tags til Christmas Bundle as part of the Handmade Holiday promotion. This will allow your customers who still want the bundle to order it now and still receive 20 percent off. The Tags til Christmas Set will ship immediately and the Decorative Label Punch will ship as soon as we have the Decorative Label Punches in stock. This should especially help your hostesses so she doesn't lose out on orders while her guests wait until the bundle is available.


***As another option for customers, we have created an additional Tags Til Christmas Bundle that includes the Ornament Punch instead of the Decorative Label Punch. This bundle will be available throughout the promotion even when the Decorative Label Punch is no longer on backorder.


As of now, we are expecting shipments to arrive within the following timeframes:

* End of October
* First week of November
* Middle of November
