Seven years ago, my sister dragged me to a Stampin’ Up! In-Home party. To my utter surprise, I got hooked immediately!
Who would have thought , on that fateful day - seven years ago, that I would be a Stampin’ Up! Independent Demonstrator today? Well certainly not me! Just one-year after being introduced to Stampin’ Up!, I joined the SU family. Five years later, I’m in the top 100 Demonstrators in the United States. In fact, #41. Plus, I’ve earned several trips: Cruises to Bermuda, Mexican Riveria, Southern Caribbean, an Hawaiian vacation and more! What a wild ride it has been!
I’ve met so many wonderful people along the way and so enjoy this rewarding business. Not only do I get to stamp and scrapbook for a living (what a fun job!), but I get to share my love of papercrafting with others. I really like showing others that they too get be creative. If I can do it, you can too!

Local Businesswoman Honored with Founder’s Circle Recognition
Waverly, MN—Stampin’ Up! recently recognized local businesswoman Dawn Olchefske with an invitation to attend the company’s annual Founder’s Circle weekend retreat. This prestigious event honors Stampin’ Up!’s most successful demonstrators with a weekend dedicated to thanking these outstanding individuals for their commitment and dedication.
Founder’s Circle members are top achievers in several different Achievement Award categories, such as Top Personal Sales and Top Recruiting. Dawn Olchefske was honored specifically in the category of “Demonstrator of the Year.” This category honors the top 100 demonstrators out of all the forty-seven thousand of demonstrators in the United States who have shown leadership and a balanced, successful approach in developing their business.
The achievers in this category receive a Founder’s Circle pin, a Founder’s Circle bag, as well as an invitation to join Stampin’ Up! cofounder and CEO Shelli Gardner for three wonderful, relaxing, and inspiring days in St. George, Utah. “Every year, I enjoy the opportunity to interact one-on-one with the remarkable demonstrators who have earned Founder’s Circle,” says Gardner. “It is truly a treat to pamper these women who have worked so hard to grow their businesses and who have contributed so much to Stampin’ Up! The Founder’s Circle Retreat is exactly that—a retreat from the hectic, everyday demands these women face, and it’s all about them! We work hard to make sure these achievers know how much we appreciate them and all they do.”
Earning a spot in the Founder’s Club is one of the most sought-after awards for Stampin’ Up! demonstrators, who recognize the deep respect these businesspeople receive. These demonstrators exemplify all that Stampin’ Up! represents and work hard to share their love for creativity and stamping with others as they strive to make a difference in the world around them.
“Earning the #41 spot of Stampin’ Up!’s “ Demonstrator of the Year” was an exciting honor, “ says Olchefske. “It’s great to be part of a company that recognizes hard work in such a wonderful way. I’m looking forward to the Founder’s Circle trip coming up soon. I have my customers, club members and demonstrators in my group to thank for supporting me and my business. They are all so wonderful.”
