Shelli’s Amazing Adventure

As I told you the other day, Shelli Gardner decided to deliver the Starter Kit herself to the 10,000th new Stampin' Up! Demonstrator after the big recruiting effort 10,000 in 2010.  I thought it was a wonderful, heartwarming story to read on the day before Thanksgiving and follow along on the little videos Shelli herself was making.  As those of us familiar with Stampin' Up! know, it was just the kind of thing this company would do, and you have to wonder how many other companies show this much heart!

Please read Shelli's own account of the whole story on her blog HERE.  I think it is really an amazing and fun story to read right at the beginning of the holiday season.

Don't forget…..both Starter Kits, the standard one and the one with My Digital Studio….are both on sale 50% off for just a few more days…until Nov. 30th.  You can sign up online these days.  Just go to my website at www.karenfontinelle.stampinup.net  or click HERE to go straight to the "Start Your Own Business" page.

OH MY GOSH! A Treat for the 10,000th Stampin’ Up! Recruit!!!

UPDATE:  They've delivered it!!  Be sure to watch the videos and catch all the FUN!!!

As I recently posted, Stampin' Up! met their goal of recruiting 10,000 new demonstrators in 2010 just the other day!  Shelli has been making videos about it and the count is still growing!!  You HAVE to watch this video and see what she is doing now!!!

Don't you wish YOU were the 10,000th new Stampin' Up! Demonstrator?!

The Simply Amazing Starter Kit Special is still going on until Nov. 30th. Don't miss out!!  Wouldn't you like to be a part of this great company?!

10,000 New Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators in 2010!

Stampin' Up! set a goal of 10,000 new recruits in 2010……and they just reached it!  Shelli Gardner, Cofounder and CEO of Stampin' Up! started making little videos as the count got close!  Can you imagine working for a company that would make such an effort to track their efforts and be so excited when they reached their goal?  They put up sheets of vinyl at the home office like a blackboard and put tic marks to count each new demonstrator, finally ending with a jar of candy kisses to count the last 1500!  And finally to gather all the employees in the beautiful atrium of the Riverton office to congratulate everyone with applause and cheers!

Watch Shelli's videos here!

If you would like to be a part of the NEXT group of 10,000 and to finish off the counting in 2010, please consider the Half-Price Starter Kits on sale now for just one more week!  Never have I seen Stampin' Up! make such an offer, so it truly is amazing!  You will have options to customize your kit and can sign up easily online in minutes…..or mail in the forms, if you prefer….there is still time!

You can find out more information HERE on my website or watch a video and actually click the "Join Now" button HERE.

I'm happy to talk about the business opportunity and becoming a demo with you before you sign up if you'd like…..or just email me with any questions!  You don't have to know anything to start…..lots of demos have even signed up without  attending a workshop…or signed up thinking it would be just for their own discount and then built up a good business instead!

At my last stamp camp, as I looked around at the ladies attending, I realized with this particular group, I wouldn't know ANY of them had it not been for being a Stampin' Up! demo!  You'll find it's a pretty good way to meet new people and make special new friends!

A Journal in My Digital Studio!

Look what I found in the My Digital Studio program!  A journal!  I went in to the program to play around with the new Christmas downloads I purchased yesterday and I found this journal!

MDS Journal

According to another demo who has already ordered and received one she made, this journal is hardcover with 80 double-sided lined pages on the inside. You can design the front and back covers as well as the spine.

Here is the same journal cover that I quickly changed into a Christmas design!

Christmas Journal

If you are interested in My Digital Studio, you might want to consider the Stampin' Up! Starter Kit promotion going on right now!

A Favorite Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Perk!

You've heard me say before that one of my favorite things about being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is receiving the special Stampin' Success Magazine every month!  You would think we would all become accustomed to getting this magazine and become rather ho-hum about it after awhile…..but ABSOLUTELY NOT!  As soon as they start hitting the mailboxes, demos are posting that they received theirs and others start posting wondering when theirs is going to arrive!  We are always anxious for the next issue packed with business tips and fabulous projects!  Stampin' Up! even posts the magazine online so we get a sneak peek before it hits our mailboxes, even though it is nothing like having it in our hot little hands!

The November 2010 issue had a great article about preserving memories with handmade albums, just small simple ones.  I took the basic idea and used it as a project in my stamp camp last weekend and added a few different touches.  I thought it was a great idea for a generic little album, whether people wanted to make it for a few Thanksgiving photos or something else.

Here is the little scrapbook we made, starting with just a 10" x 5" piece of card stock!

Mini Scrapbook

Mini Scrapbook Inside

Click on the photos to enlarge.

You can make this album any size….just fold your paper in half, open, then fold each side to the middle, producing four sections.  Fold the bottom up for the pockets.  Make a few tags or photo mats, do a little stamping or punching little scraps of paper, add a couple little embellishments….whatever!…..you have a nice little album ready for photos!  On this project we used the stamp set "Just Believe".

If you have any questions about this project or becoming a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator with the amazing Starter Kit 50% discount, just leave me a comment!

Color Confections Product Display! Oh My!!

In my opinion, this display was worth the price of admission of Convention! Stampin' Up! really outdid themselves on this!  Way back in the corner of the Gathering Place where all the display boards of card, scrapbook pages, and projects were and all the other wonderful booths and displays Stampin' Up! set up to help us in our businesses, was this fantastic place!  The Color Confections Product Showcase!  I wish you all could have seen it in person!  You wouldn't believe it!  Just look at it!

Color Confections Product Showcase 

And everything that looked like candy and confections and treats…..were paper products!  Little candies made out of paper, spools of ribbon covered and decorated with card stock, buttons packaged up like little candies, cupcakes and brownies made from paper, brads packaged like candy, stamps decorated with embellishments…..well, just check out some of my photos! And I can't even show you everything because lots of new products will be in the new Holiday Mini!
