My Stampin’-versary is coming up this Saturday – February 7th. Thirteen years ago I joined Stampin’ Up! as a demonstrator!
The year of 2013 brought some big changes to my life – it was my retirement from teaching (kind of, cause I was still in and out of the classroom the next 7 years!). I knew I was going to need something to fill the time and make connections with others. Our friend Linda invited me to a stamping group, and that started the rolling ball! I loved the creativity, the gathering with friends, the connections made with others. Once I saw the best deal in the catalog – the Starter Kit – I joined. I told Pool Boy “give me 6 months to gather my supplies”. But there was something I didn’t know.
NOBODY told me there would be a new catalog several times a year!! LOL!!! Pool Boy says “it’s the longest 6 months ever” seeing that this marks my 13th year! I morphed from being a hobby demonstrator (just purchasing for myself), to holding a class once a month with another demo and it just kept going. I now hold Stamp ‘n Sips, technique classes, game nights, pop up classes, in person as well as card kits by mail. We’ve hosted retreats, have FB lives, and I write my daily website posts. And would you believe my daily post is my favorite thing of all?
I’ve connected with likeminded people throughout the world who share the love of paper crafting. I’ve met new friends, re-connected with former friends, and forged deeper friendships with people I’d known for years. All because of purchasing the Starter Kit – and Linda.
The Starter Kit is the best deal in the catalog, but this month Stampin’ Up! has sweetened the deal!

Receive $125 in product – you choose what you want! – and pay only $99 plus tax! Shipping is covered. AND FOR A LIMITED TIME, new demonstrators will receive our new Stampin’ Positioner tool FREE along with their Starter Kit! That brings the value of the kit over $160!
Other perks of purchasing the Starter Kit include:
- Receive a 20% discount on future orders (with the potential for higher discounts)
- Receive early notification of sales, new products, and promotions coming from Stampin’ Up!
- The ability to purchase one month ahead of customers with upcoming new products!
- Connection with thousands of demonstrators thru the private FB page Demonstrator Planning Place, as well as meeting in person at events such as OnStage and BackStage
- Participating in virtual crafting events hosted by Stampin’ Up!
- There are no requirements for selling, for hosting – nothing. And there is no Stampin’ Up! policeman holding you accountable for joining. You make of it what you want.

I’ve never regretted my decision to purchase that Starter Kit all those years ago. I’m grateful for the opportunities we’ve enjoyed, the challenge of staying somewhat up to date with technology, but most of all the friendships forged because of stamp, ink, and paper.
Linda, thank you so much for inviting me to a stamping group all those years ago. And Pool Boy says he blames you for this! LOL!!!
Until next time, have a great day doing whatever makes you happy, and God Bless!!!
