A Box From Stampin’ Up!

 

Stampin' Up! Box

I was so excited to get this box from Stampin' Up! Is there really very much that is as exciting as getting a box from Stampin' Up! delivered by UPS??! Especially when it is new catalog season??  I can't really tell you yet what was in my box except to say there was a new Stampin' Up! catalog, a new Celebrando Creatividad Catalog, and a bunch of new paper, ink pads, stamp sets and embellishments!  What fun!!

If you were a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, you might be getting a box like this delivered! There's still time to sign up to be a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, receive your new $99 Starter Kit made "Your Way", AND place a preorder if you wanted to of a few new products coming in the new catalog. Or you could sign up to be a Stampin' Up! demonstrator now and be all settled in and ready to pass out brand-new Stampin' Up! catalogs at your first Stampin' Up! party! You could start up your new business just that easy!

Where else can you start an exciting business of your own for only $99? With the new Stampin' Up! Starter Kit you may choose up to $125 worth of products for only $99, choosing either traditional stamping and scrapbooking products or digital papercrafting.  You will also receive a business supply pack valued at $65 to get your business started off right!

If You Were a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Today…!

SU Banner LP_FlexKit_Demo_May0112_USCAESP

If you were a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator today, it would be so exciting your head would be spinning!

  • You would be waking up and rushing to your computer to check the Sneak Peeks of new product from the new upcoming catalog and planning what to order soon this month so you have new samples to show your customers….and so you get your hands on new stamps, ink, paper and accessories at the earliest possible moment! Because demonstrators can.
  • If you had built a successful Stampin' Up! business, you would already be on the Disney Incentive Trip, compliments of Stampin' Up!, having the time of your life with other demonstrators and Stampin' Up! employees…and of course Mickey! Perhaps you would already be working on earning the incentive trip of a lifetime to Fiji! Because demonstrators can earn free trips and go to Stampin' Up! events like Convention and Leadership…and more.
  • You would be checking out all the details of the new Stampin' Up! Starter Kit to share with those who would like to start a business for themselves by becoming a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.

     Start Your Own Stampin' Up! Business!

This new kit will be available later this morning and signing up online at my website HERE has been made easier than ever.

You may choose the products that YOU want, but if you would like some suggestions, Stampin' Up! has a list you can use.

For Your Tax Day Enjoyment! Stampin’ Up! Convention Highlights!

Registration for the 2012 Stampin' Up! Convention opened today and Stampin' Up! shared this video of the 2011 Convention highlights! Since I had just posted about considering becoming a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I thought I would share this video right away so you can get a taste of the indescribable experience of attending Convention! (Believe me, this is only a taste….you can't imagine the real fun and creativity you will experience there.) You might want to go press that "Join Now" button right away! Use your tax refund to pay for your kit!

Two Ways to Make Your Papercrafting Less “Taxing”

Today is Tax Day! Hopefully you got your taxes done over the weekend or even earlier so by now you are relaxed knowing that horrible task is over! I think it is time to stamp in celebration!

Here are two ways to make your papercrafting less taxing:

1.  Become a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator!  Own your own business and your supplies and business-related expenses become tax deductions! If you work hard, you can earn money for yourself and your family by doing something that you love…..stamping! You can focus on the aspect you like the most if you want…..scrapbooking, having workshops, digital papercrafting with My Digital Studio, selling finished product….or do it all. For more information on becoming a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, click HERE. Some more information HERE, too. You can sign up online in minutes HERE. Let me know if you have questions!

2.  Go digital with My Digital Studio!  New downloads were released today as they are most Tuesdays!  Go digital in your papercrafting with Stampin' Up!'s own software….it's not just about scrapbooks either! No paper scraps, no mess to clean up….just your computer! Easy peasy!  It's not hard to learn at all and you will have plenty of resources at www.mydigitalstudio.net…..plus me!

Extreme Makeover Stampin’ Up! Style

Last summer Stampin' Up! Convention attendees were encouraged to enter a contest to have their stamping space made over by Shelli Gardner! The lucky winner was Tamzin Cochrane in Austin, TX! Here is a speeded up video Stampin' Up! showed at Leadership last week of the process! Amazingly, the Gardner family came and did the work themselves! Wouldn't we all love to have them show up at our door?! Maybe you will see some ideas you can use!

Back Home from Stampin’ Up! Leadership 2012

Oh my!  It's hard to come back down to earth after a Stampin' Up! event, especially one like Stampin' Up! Leadership 2012!  The withdrawal was eased a little bit yesterday when my new Stampin' Success, the magazine for Stampin' Up! demonstrators, was in the pile of mail!

I've been looking through my photos and decided to start with one of my favorite displays.  These were in the room where we did Make & Takes the first night.  We used the Blossom Builders Designer Printed Kit #125410, in the Occasions Mini Catalog, which is a cute set of double-sided, printed, die-cut flowers on textured paper PLUS an assortment of pink rhinestones to add some bling! You have to put it on your next order!

Enjoy!

Stampin’ Up! Spring Regional Schedule

The Stampin' Up! San Antonio Regional was great fun…and perhaps the highest attended Regional ever, Shelli said, with 1400 attendees!  It was well worth our while because of the creative stamping ideas and the inspiring and entertaining presentations.  I took so many photos I filled up my memory cards on my camera!  It was a nice next-step to come down from the high of Leadership…..even though Leadership was over, we weren't really done with Stampin' Up! and all the fun yet!

Here is the Stampin' Up! Spring Regional schedule that they announced:

  • February 11 in Phoenix, Arizona
  • February 25 in Columbus, Ohio
  • March 10 in Milwaukee

If you live near any of these areas, I strongly encourage you to sign up to attend a Regional when registration opens.  It usually opens to demonstrators first and then if space permits, guests are allowed to be registered by a demonstrator.

Any Stampin' Up! event is guaranteed to be a good one!

Stampin’ Up! Leadership 2012

Stampin' Up! Leadership has ended and I really don't even know what to say or where to begin.  I think if all companies could be like Stampin' Up!, the world would be a better place!

We all got so many gifts and prizes (I even won a prize for the first time!!) and several promotions and things coming up to help us all grow and develop our businesses.  The socializing and fellowship with other demonstrators in classes, while standing in line, swapping, or while eating lunch is priceless.

The Stampin' Up! employees giving their presentations….oh my gosh, what can I say???!!!  Not only was there a fisherman/painter but we had salsa dancing on stage not to mention a gigantic Harley (at least I guess that's what it was!) riding on and off stage.  The creativity and personality they all show is amazing….everything is so clever and entertaining.  The theme was "My Way" so each presenter did it "their way".

Next event….Stampin' Up! Regional!

Off to Stampin’ Up! Leadership 2012!

SU Leadership Banner

If I can just get packed and get myself out of here, I'll be heading west on I-10 to San Antonio for several jam-packed, fun-filled days with Stampin' Up at the 2012 Leadership Conference and also a Regional on Saturday! Who could ask for more fun than that?!  

I'll pick up my bag and stamp sets when I arrive and then I do my Make & Takes this evening! Make & Takes are actual stamping projects that everyone does.  Doing Make & Takes in a crowd is not my strong point for some reason….I get totally flustered and can't think, can't read the directions, act like I've never stamped before….but I've heard other demos say the same thing so I guess I'm not alone!  I think they are doing them differently this time so we'll see if it works any better for me!  LOL!

You should think about signing up to be a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator so you can partake of these wonderful Stampin' Up! events! Read about it on my website HERE.  If you have questions, just leave a comment or email me at Karen@Karenstamps.com.
