Have you ever thought about being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator? I hadn't, and that was over 8 years ago! I had been working at Quaker Oats, but after having my second child, I wanted to be home with my boys. That lasted about a month, before I missed all my friends at work, when this fabulous opportunity came along.

I met Diane Garlets in a little drugstore, she saw me buying a few stamps and some card stock and asked me if I'd like to get a discount! I said, absolutely, what do I have to do? She said, just buy this stamping kit and its yours to keep, and its 40% off the retail price!

Then, if you want to have your own business, you can start by watching this DVD and it will tell you how to stamp, run a workshop, etc. This is so exciting! Now, I get to be home with my kids every day, be a creative coach for my customers, teach fresh projects and offer encouragement to my team of demonstrators.

I've also earned 3 cruises, and traveled to some amazing cities with Stampin' Up! for Conventions, Regionals & Leadership Training.

For me, helping someone create their first project is the best feeling in the entire world. After all, creating cards, scrapbook pages, and gift items is about more than just stamps and ink—it’s about sharing a part of yourself with fun people as everyone is having a great time.

If you are interested in stamping, learning it, or having your own "continuing education" classes, I'm all about that!

Here's what you'll get at one of my workshops:

Choose a plan first - do you want to have a free workshop or a pay class?

If you have a free workshop, I will demonstrate 3 projects, and everyone will get a chance to make one of them for free.

If you want to have a pay class (most popular choice), then you and your friends will all get to make the 3 projects I demonstrate! I will provide all the materials and instruction, and bring them to your house, or place of business. You may choose from a variety of themes: handmade cards, scrapbooking, gift ideas such as the journal class I sometimes offer.

After the project(s) are complete, I will give your friends a tour of the catalog. All the orders placed for Stampin' Up! merchandise will earn you credit ($15-$150) towards whatever you'd like to order, plus at least one bonus Free stamp set, too!
