The Best Decision I Ever Made

 It's been just over 9 years now and I still can honestly say, joining the Stampin' Up! family was the BEST decision I have ever made. 

What makes me say this? Do I make a lot of money doing this? No, not at all, I do support my "habit" but no, I don't make a lot of money doing this. Is it the travel and earning trips? Nope...I haven't reached that level YET. 

What makes joining the best decision, is the relationships! Hands down the greatest return on my investment is the relationships that I have formed as a direct result of my involvement with Stampin' Up! I have met and become close friends with the most amazing women and men too as a direct result of my demonstratorship. When I stop to think about it, it truly amazes me and warms my heart that I have had the good fortune of meeting some of the most amazing people.. People who not only do you truly care for, but care about you too! I lost both of my parents in a short 16 month span, and it was my community of stampers that pulled me through some of my most darkest days. For that, I will forever be grateful to them for sure. 

Have you ever thought about joining up? Now is a great time, it's still Sale-a-bration until 8/31/22 so in addition to the normal, "pick $125 in product of your choice for just $99 and free shipping" you are also going to receive a beautiful 18 month planner as a special gift, but only during Sale-a-bration..

Not ready yet? No problem. I would still LOVE the opportunity to serve you as your demonstrator and to be a part of my amazing community of stampers. Feel free to come hang out with us over on Facebook ; we would love to have you! Like I said, I have the most amazing community of woman over there that will help welcome you with open arms

Happy Stamping,

Extra Extra It's Almost Over!

Hello and Happy Wednesday my friends! I wanted to come to you today to remind you that we are nearing the end of the month and when August ends, so does the Extra Extra promotion Stampin' Up! has going right now. 

What is Extra Extra you ask?

 Well, it's an amazing opportunity to join the Stampin' Up! family as a demonstrator. As I have stated many times in the past, the starter kit is absolutely THE best deal in the catalog. You get to choose $125 in product for just $99 + tax, and FREE shipping. Your kit also includes a Paper Pumpkin kit, business supplies and a case of catalogs and LOTS and LOTS of demo perks. Now, during the Extra Extra promotion, you get to choose an extra $30 in product for a total of $155 in product the YOU choose for $99 +tax and FREE shipping. You still get all of the additions such as the Paper Pumpkin kit and business supplies AND you will receive a coupon code next month to use toward your very next order (that coupon code will expire on 10/31) and that is on top of your 20% discount for being a demonstrator! ex. choose $100 in product - 20% = $80-$10 coupon code= $70 + shipping and tax (shipping and tax are paid on the $100)
And, another GREAT perk about joining right now, demonstrators have the awesome perk of being able to order early from the Holiday catalog. I'm sure you've seen lots of sneak peeks into the catalog in the recent days. well, as a new demonstrator, you can add new holiday product into your starter kit! YES! You can choose new product from both the Annual and Holiday Catalog up to $155 into your kit and pay $99!

How awesome is that? And, yesterday, some of my team and I registered for OnStage in Hartford Conn in November. Registration is still currently open until it either fills up (several locations have already sold out) or 9/17/19. So, once your receive your demo ID and log in information, you too can register to attend one of the most FABULOUS events EVER! We would LOVE to have you join us!
So, what are you waiting for? It's almost over! If you have ANY questions, I would LOVE to answer them for you. You can email any and all questions here

Ready to join me? Get your starter kit here

Bonus Days

Just wanted to throw out another friendly reminder that if you earned Bonus Day's coupon codes last month, you must use them before 8/31 or lose them forever. 

Final Batch of Trimmer Blades

Stampin' Up! has received their final batch of trimmer blades. So, that means once these are gone, they are gone FOREVER. These are first come, first serve so I WILL NOT be able to order them for you, a) I will be at work and b) if I am trying to order for more than one person, by the time I complete the order they WILL be sold out. These sell out in a matter of minutes.The demand far out weighs the supply unfortunately. The good news, Stampin' Up! is working hard to bring us a new trimmer in the near future.

To place your order click here. Use the item code 126995

Okay, I think I've covered all that I wanted to cover. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I will be back tomorrow with a super cute, super fun fold for you.

 In the meantime, happy stamping,

Hello my happy stampers! Happy Tuesday to you! Once again, we're freezing here in CNY, yes, fun times for sure. Anyway, I wanted to make sure I got the message out to you that not only is it Sale-a-bration, the BEST time of the year in the world of Stampin' Up! but what helps make it so awesome, is the opportunity to join the Stampin' Up! family. You see, the starter kit is ALWAYS the best deal in the catalog, however, during Sale-a-bration, it gets even better! And this year, Stampin' Up! kicked it up a notch, maybe even 2 notches!

Anything you want from either the current 2018-2019 Annual Catalog, the current 2019 Occasions Catalog and even the clearance rack! and all you pay is $99 + tax and shipping is FREE! Awesome right? Well, then there is option 2. Again, you select $175 in product of YOUR CHOICE, again from either catalog or the clearance rack, but you add on the AWESOME canvas tote, and you pay $129 + tax and shipping is still FREE!

And you know what else? There is ZERO obligation beyond this point! You can either continue to enjoy a discount on you orders or you can just go back to being a customer. I love my customers, but it would be totally selfish of me not to share this amazing deal with you. If you want to know more about joining my team, just click here.

The Perfect Time to Join

Hello and Happy Thursday! Did you know Sale-a-bration is the PERFECT time to join the Stampin' Up! family. During Sale-a-bration, in addition to selecting $125 in product of your choice for $99 + free shipping, you get to select 2 additional stamp sets of your choice FREE (valued up to a combined total of $101). After that, you save 20-25% on ALL future orders as long as you remain active.
What constitutes active, you ask? Well, all you need to do is sell/purchase $300/quarter. That comes out to be about $100/month if you break it down into bite sized pieces. Even better, if you are looking for an opportunity to be your own boss, run your own business, Stampin' Up! is perfect for that too! Who wouldn't love to "go to work" and do what you love?
Stampin' Up! is the BEST "job" I've ever had. I get to share my love with others and make them smile, I get to decide how much time I put into MY business and how hard I want to work at MY business etc. I get to decide how to run my customer service, which is TOP NOTCH, I might add. (I am a firm believer in the Golden Rule!)

6. What happens if I get the starter kit and then decide I don't want to be a demonstrator? - Nothing. Nothing happens. If you don't place any more orders as a demo and don't meet your quarterly minimum, you will be "dropped" from your demonstrator-ship, with no penalty and no harassment.
7. Are there any other "perks" for being a Demonstrator? - Yes! You will receive the quarterly magazine, Stampin' Success, chock full of design ideas, business training and just plain fun; access to the Stampin' Up! demonstrator website, which contains a plethora of training videos and information too numerous to count; the opportunity to attend On-Stage events (convention) to party and learn with other demos around the world; access to private demonstrator Facebook groups for more opportunities to interact with demos from around the globe; early access to new product before anyone else; and access to the demo only website, Stampin' Connection - it's like a Facebook for demonstrators with lots of sharing and design ideas.

A Great Time to Join Our Team of Kreative Heart Stampers

Good Morning and Happy Thursday! It's a little rainy here, but boy have we had an upturn in our temperatures! It's back to feeling like Summer again, at least for another week anyway. There for a couple of weeks, it was feeling like Fall had a strong foothold. Anyway, I'm enjoying the return of Summer.
Now, I want to talk to you about joining the Kreative Heart Stampers. With the holiday's lurking just around the corner, now is an AWESOME time to join. Here are just a few good reasons to join now:
1. Earn a little (or a lot) extra income. As a brand new Kreative Heart Stamper, you will earn 20% of your sales as income and if you promote to Bronze Elite (sell $900 within a rolling year) you will begin to earn 25% of your sales! And of course there are lots of other ways to increase your income that I will teach you as a Kreative Heart Stamper.
2. Save money on your own crafty purchases! Yes, as a brand new Kreative Heart Stamper, you will save 20% on your own purchases and that too increases to a 25% savings when you promote to Bronze Elite.
3. The Starter Kit is the BEST value around! Purchase $125 in YOUR CHOICE of product from any of the current catalogs for $99 +tax and receive your business supplies FREE and get FREE shipping!
4. YOU decide how you want to run YOUR business! I am here to assist you in any way you need. I will share EVERYTHING I do in my business with you, but YOU decide if that works for you! There are no Stampin' Up! or Kreative Heart Stamper Police - Just Cheer Leaders to encourage you and opportunities to grow as you choose.

We meet virtually and in person the 2nd Sunday of each month for training on business topics and to have fun crafting together. We have a Facebook group dedicated to the Kreative Heart Stampers to share and just chat and have fun. 

I would love to have you join me on this journey, it's fun, it's exciting and who doesn't want to save a little money and have an opportunity to make a little too? Oh, and there is also the extra perk of having the opportunity to earn "incentive trips"! The Stampin' Up! new year begins October 1st and we will begin working toward earning our way on to the Greek Isle Cruise making this THE perfect time to sign up, giving you a whole year to work toward the trip if that interests you. I really hope you consider this. Being a demo can and will bring you so much joy. It's truly amazing to see how a little ink and paper can make others smile and literally change their life for the better. I never would have believed it had I not experienced it first hand, but it's so true.

Here's what I want you to do, sit down with your catalog, and make out your wish list. Make it out as though money were no object then total it up. Now, pull $125 worth of product from that list -  that would be your starter kit for $99. Now, take the remaining items total and subtract 20% . Notice how much you could save! Now, break that down into bite sized orders and those are the orders you will place throughout the year marching your way toward earning 25% off your personal orders and earning 25% of orders you take from friends and family and new friends (new customers have a way of becoming new friends)

Here's a Wish List for you:


If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I'm here  to answer anything I can and if I don't have an answer, I will most certainly get you an answer. If you're ready to take the plunge, click here and fill out the information along with your starter kit order and in approximately 7-10 days your goodies will arrive.
If you would just like free tutorials and stay up to date with Kreative Heart happenings, join my mailing list!
In the meantime, Happy Stamping,

Sale-A-Bration 2017 Coming to a Close

Happy Thursday friends! I wanted to remind you that we are in the final hours of Sale-a-bration 2017! Can you believe it? I can't that's for sure. It kind of makes me sad in a way because I LOVE the product selection we had for free for every $50 spent. And I don't know about you, but I don't think I have EVER placed an order for less than $50! So, Sale-a-bration is my time to "stock up" and get bonuses just for buying what I need! It also makes me sad when I think of those of you who missed the opportunity to take advantage of all of this cool and awesome stuff! So, that's why I am here to remind you that it's almost over so you won't miss out on these great deals. But, although the end of Sale-A-Bration makes me sad, I also start getting excited. What am I getting excited about you ask? Well, I am getting excited that the new Annual catalog will be revealed to us demonstrators in April! Those demonstrators that are able to attend the On Stage event will get the first look on April 6 or 8th, depending on if your going to Amsterdam or attending a local event, and the rest of us will see it April 10th. Then, when we place our fist demo pre-order in May, they will include our copy of the catalog.And I LOVE getting the new catalog because there is always something, or should I say MANY new things to get excited about. Stampin' Up! has never disappointed so I always look forward to the new catalog.

This brings me to my next PSA- joining SU! Sale-A-Bration is the PERFECT time to join! Not only do you get to select the normal $125 in product for just $99 +tax and and FREE shipping, but you also get to select 2 additional FREE stamp sets of your choice! There is NO dollar limit on the stamp sets you can choose! And if that wasn't awesome enough, you also get access to all of the demonstrator training, ideas and information, access to an exclusive Demonstrator website/usergroup filled with ideas and a wealth of information. You will  also receive the quarterly Demonstrator Magazine filled with ideas, patterns, and business training. You will get access to the new up coming catalog on April 10th and you will be able to pre-order select items from said catalog in May! And, for joining my team, you will also get access to my Demo Facebook group, "Inky Fingers, Warm Hearts" where you will receive updates and training and other fun things to come. And the best part, there is NO obligation beyond taking advantage of grabbing the starter kit! There isn't any SU! police, calling you to tell you you need to sell or buy, so YOU get to decide how and even if you want a business, or just buy at a discount or just get the kit and call it a day. No matter what, you have $125 in amazing product and access to amazing resources for at least 3 months for $99. If you choose to not sell, or not buy to maintain demonstrator status, after the 3 months, you will lose your access to the demo resources, however, you will still have amazing product in your hands! Something to think about! And if you choose to take advantage of this opportunity, just click "join my team" in the bar up above. In the meantime, happy stamping!

Sale-a-Bration: Why You Should Join My Team Now!

Hi all! Happy Thursday! I know I have said it time and time again but I only say it because I believe in it so much. Sale-a-Bration is THE most wonderful time of year! The benefits of Sale-a-Bration are just amazing and it doesn't matter if you're the happy shopper or the happy demonstrator there is so much to love about Sale-a-Bration.

But I have to tell you, it is absolutely the BEST time to join!
And here is why: In addition to the normal "design your own demo kit" by selecting $125 in product (anything you wish) for just $99 with FREE shipping, you now get to throw in not one, but TWO stamp sets of your choice! That's ANY TWO stamp sets you choose!  There isn't a dollar limit on what you can choose! Now, here is the real kicker...there is absolutely NO OBLIGATION! Once you purchase your starter kit at such an AMAZING value....you aren't obligated to do a single thing with it! There is no one that is going to call you and demand you sell stamps, no one pressuring you to be a sales person. It is totally up to you! Now, don't get me wrong, there is definitely perks for maintaining your demonstratorship, but it's not required. If you do choose to continue, you will make/save 20% on all of your sales/orders. Now, tell me, who doesn't love a good discount? You get "sneak peaks" into up coming catalogs along with the opportunity to pre-order before anyone else even gets to see the inside of the catalog. You can attend exclusive Strampin' Up! demonstrator events and you can even earn incentive trips (this year everyone is working toward earning Alaska - oh how I yearn to earn Alaska!) And, you get access to an exclusive Demonstrator quarterly publication, Stampin' Success full of business tips, crafting ideas and so much more. There is also the weekly email, Succeed Weekly also full of great information. And then there is the personal side of the "business", the amazing relationships you forge when you come together with others that love the craft as much as you do. And those relationships are those formed with other demonstrators as well as your customers. You become a great big extended family. That to me, has become the biggest perk of all. I love and appreciate everyone of my customers and I love to share ideas with them, I love to encourage creativity in others. If any of this even remotely sounds like fun to you, then seriously, consider joining my team. Just use the tab up above and follow the link. Easy Peasy, I would love to have you join me.
In the meantime, Happy stamping,
