HELLO!

Being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is so rewarding. Not only do I get to be creative every day, I also get to be a creative coach, offering fresh project ideas and encouragement to my customers and friends.

For me, helping someone create that perfect project for a special occasion 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 the people you love.

JOURNAL

Let me tell you a little about myself and how I discovered the best “job” in the world-Stampin’ Up!


I left my career as a Systems Analyst with a national bank in 1992 right before my daughter (second child) was born. I worked at night for an Insurance company, then switched to per diem work for the ER of a local hospital because it was rough on us giving up that wonderful paying career job when we now had two children and a home to support.

I had left my career to be a stay-at home mom because I wanted to be there for all the important things in my children’s lives growing up, yet I still needed to work and contribute to the family income. I had been a stamper since 1990 when I first learned about thermal embossing, and fell in love with the whole concept of stamping my own cards. I loved it so much, I sold my cards, gift tags and various items at local Craft Fairs, and even had my own business called "Creative Expressions". I never dreamed that Stampin’ Up! would become my "new" career or that I would be doing it all these years later! (My husband thought I’d last six months!) Being a demonstrator has fullfilled a dream I’ve always had- a job doing something I truly love! It has enabled me to grow up with my kids, yet I’ve been self-employed running my own business-teaching stamping and now scrapbooking, to others.

I’ve earned things from countless free stamps to free cruises, met many wonderful people, many of whom are now friends; I travel to conventions and leadership trainings, have a stamp studio which is home to our demonstrator group the "SOS Team", teach classes, camps and conduct in-home parties for stamping and scrapbooking. I love having the freedom to run my own business, create my own schedule that ties into our family needs, and earn an income too! Stampin’ Up! is a wonderful and unique company which offers the most versatile home party business I know of! One can simply join to get her own stamps for free and at a discount, become a part-time demonstrator or teach full-time, as a career-as I do. Please e-mail me if you are interested in learning if Stampin’ Up! is something you would like to do- I’d love to set up a time we can talk about it.
