Botanical Gardens - Stamp and Share cards

It's the weekend!  Woo hoo!

I'm excited to scrapbook this weekend but first today Andrew has to have his wisdom teeth pulled - eek!  Fingers crossed all goes well and he heals quickly.

I am on a fancy card kick and so I planned my next demonstrator event around fancy cards. I hope they like them.

 Do you want to come to my demonstrator event? Now is a great time to get in on the fun! I hold monthly Stamp and Share events and stamping with friends is my ALL TIME favourite thing about being a demonstrator. Plus the sneak peeks at the new products is pretty great too!

The starter kit is only $125 and you can choose $195 worth of products with no tax and shipping. Don't delay and get started today!

Stampin in Vulcan :)

On the weekend I had the pleasure of traveling outside of Calgary for a card workshop. I have never driven to Vulcan and I can say I can't wait to drive out again! The weather co-operated and the ladies I stamped with were awesome!  Some were advanced card makers and others were just trying it for the first time. I just love sharing Stampin UP!

If you would like to share Stampin Up with me by attending a class, shopping for product or joining my team Sale A Bration is a great time to do this. You can earn free products by shopping, hosting or joining!

Stampin UP Canada Fall Event - Be my +1

Ever wonder what it is like to be a Stampin UP demonstrator?  You could get a chance to get a sneak peek at one of our fun events with new product demonstrations, card swapping and prizes!  

Stampin UP Canada is holding the first ever Canadian led event!  On Friday, Sept 19th we have a Product Parade night for demos +1.  We are allowed to bring one guest - could that be you?  

Our Saturday events are for demonstrators only so don't be sad and miss this day.  What a great opportunity to join this weekend and register for the event on Monday!!!  I'd love to have you join my team and experience all the positive things that Stampin UP can bring to your life!  I NEVER dreamed that I would be "paper crafting for a living"  and it's been SEVEN years!

The benefits of being a demonstrator are numerous but here are just a few:

* minimum 20% discount on your personal purchases - 30% off your first order
* numerous ideas with our bi-monthly magazine - Stampin Success, Stampin Connection website and online newsletter Inspiration Canada
* sneak peek viewing and pre-orders of new products before they are available to customers
* gatherings with my full team, complete with business and stamping tips plus weekly email updates 
* fun, friends and crafting with fabulous products

What more can you ask for?

Whether you join to get a discount on your personal purchases or plan to be the next Stampin Up superstar I am here to help you.

When I joined 7 years ago I knew I loved the products but I did not realize what a fantastic company this would be let alone the support and great friends I have made along the way!

Contact me to learn more about this opportunity and be my plus 1!

Cheers,
K

New, new, new!!!

FINALLY, a chance to play with some of my new goodies from the new catalogue!  As a demonstrator, I am VERY lucky to get a sneak peek of new products before they are available to customers. 

Starting today until the end of June you have a fantastic opportunity to become a demonstrator for just $60!  The Sign and Save promotion allows you to choose $65 worth of products and pay just $60 and no tax or shipping! It's fantastic time to join at the beginning of a very exciting NEW catalogue PLUS you can purchase all of your Christmas gifts and supplies (at a discount) when the Holiday catalogue is released to demos in August (customers in late August).  PLUS a sneak peek to purchase those goodies too!  Being a demonstrator is simply awesome!!!

When I joined Stampin UP in 2007 I NEVER imagined that this would become my full time job but what a fantastic journey it is and continues to be. 

Here is a peek at what I do in a day - ha ha!  Make cards!

This is a new stamp set called Blended Bloom.  It's a great focal flower for the center of a card or scrapbook page.  I used the new Blendabilities to colour the flower in Coastal Cabana.  The background is another new set called Work of Art.

Colours used - Smokey Slate, So Saffron, Pool Party and Lost Lagoon inks

Here is a second COMPLETELY different card with the same stamp but stamped on to coloured card stock (Old Olive, Daffodil Delight and Basic Gray).  The sentiment if from the set  A Dozen Thoughts.

Lots of fussy cutting on these ones (cutting around the outline) but I needed something to do while at hockey :)

Hope you enjoyed a sneak peek at something new and if you are free on Sunday, June 1st come by and check out mynew Cattie Kick off event.

Cheers, 
K

If you are reading this maybe you are a customer, friend or just stumbled across my blog by chance.  If you or someone you know would like to learn more about the Stampin Up opportunity please check out this link here or contact me and I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.  It can be a job, a hobby or just shop the catalogue at 20% off. 

There is no better time because the Starter kit is completely customizable.  If you own lots or nothing at all you can pick and choose up to $155 of products and pay only $125.  What a deal! PLUS no shipping on the kit!


Some added perks from me if you join my team before September 30th:

* Gather your friends and family together and we will plan your first workshop together.  If you want I will do all the demonstrations for you! You gather the company, you get the sales and you are on your way to building your business and earning Stampin UP products for FREE!!


* Earn an additional stamp set for FREE after you place your first order.  Did you know you earn 30% commission on your first order? S-W-E-E-T!


* Join before August 31st and receive the Howl-o-ween Printer’s Tray project kit too!!


Since I have joined Stampin UP I have met many, many great friends and I can't believe all that I have achieved by just some paper, ink and stamps!  You can do it too!!!


Thanks for stopping by! Take some time and stamp today!

A sneak peek at something new!

Hi all

I thought I'd share with you a sneak peek of a new stamp set in the upcoming Catalogue beginning June 1st BUT what is even better is that this stamp set will be available for you to purchase between April 1-30!  It's just part of a new Summer Smooches bundle available for purchase during the month of April.

Why do I have the stamp set already??  Because I'm a demo!!  One of the best parts about being a demonstrator is getting a sneak peek at the cool new products.  Better still being a demo allowed me to earn this stamp set in January by attending Manager's Reception in San Antonio.

We also received this awesome bag at Leadership (think possible fabric sneak peek) and oooohh, the additions to this line are sooo exciting!!!!


Interested in becoming a demo??  JOIN NOW for just $150!!  The starter kit is a fantastic deal!!

Contact me and I can answer any questions you may have.

Cheers, 
K

It's half way over!

Time is a tickin' on the best sign up deal I have seen!

If you sign up to be a demonstrator you get a FREE BIG SHOT or equivalent product up to $125.

This offer is good for the Standard Starter kit OR the Digital Starter kit.  The value of these products alone is over $400 but for the month of October you will get all this for $215 AND a FREE Big Shot.  

Contact me for more details.

Have a great weekend!

Cheers,

If you sign up in October you will have the remainder of this quarter (Oct - Dec) and the next FULL quarter (Jan - March) to reach $400 in sales.

4)  How can I make money as a demonstrator?

You can earn money in three ways: instant income (20 percent of each order), monthly volume rebates (5–20 percent of total sales), and monthly downline override commissions (2–6 percent of your recruits’ sales).


Any other questions you may have please contact me.  I'd love to get together with you and see if Stampin Up may be right for you!

Aren't you infused with energy?  I want to invite you to join my team so I can share with you the excitement, enthusiasm and true spirit of this great company.  Before I left for Salt Lake I knew I loved to stamp and create, but this trip truly showed me how great it is to be involved with a company that is passionate, fun and genuine.  


In the past few months I have met many, many demonstrators from all over Canada and the US and I am proud to say they are my friends.  The camaraderie from the trip down to Salt Lake, to the sharing of materials over make n' takes it all was possible because I decided to join Stampin UP! just 4 years ago.
