Why would you ?

Save

If you love Stampin' Up! products and creating I sincerely believe getting the Starter Kit is the smart way to go.  Here is a short list of what other Demonstrators say about sharing this opportunity:

1. Because if you're going to buy anyway, why not at a discount?
2. To share in your love of crafting and sharing that love with others.
3. To get the best deal.
4. To join a community of like minded, creative & loving people!!
5. To enjoy the opportunity to save $ while making beautiful paper crafts, with top notch products and building friendships all over the world.
6. Because everyone should get to have this much fun at work!
7. Because even as a hobby demo it's a great way to build friendships, have fun and get a discount.

I've never had a Team Member regret joining Stampin' Up!  Most often they say 'Why did I wait?!'  

We have so much fun in my Flowerbug's group! Even though many of us are spread across the country we connect, share and support each other online.  Most are hobby stampers or what I call 'Happy Shoppers'; just enjoying the perks of the discount, being a part of some fabulous online groups and seeing and ordering from catalogs early.  It's a fantastic thing to be a part of! 

Details on being a Demonstrator:

• Enjoy the 20% discount on all orders while you're active.  Stop ordering when you want.
• There's no pressure to sell or hold events. 
• Your first $300 quarterly minimum isn't due until the end of September!
• And all orders from May – Sept count towards that minimum!
• Many people buy from themselves; ever order counts towards that minimum! 
• SU counts product as retail towards that minimum; but you're paying just 80% of it.  For instance, an order of $100 counts towards your $300 minimum but you pay just $80. Most times the tax & shipping is added on to the $80; not the $100.  This means you're receiving an even better deal!  
• Joining now means you can pre-order from the Holiday AND Sale-a-Bration catalog in July!!  And that counts towards your minimum!

• Another sample using DSP strips; the pretty Velvet Meadow DSP

  July 16, 2026

  ---

  I shared a card using a strips technique a few days ago and wanted to share the card that inspired it today.

  Save

  Here are the products I used: Velvet Meadow DSP, Bubble Bath, Berry Burst & Peaceful Pine CS. The greeting is from the Flowering Meadow stamp set and the scalloped tags are from the Scalloped Blooms dies seen here.

  When using up your strips you can adhere them diagonally across your card stock, leaving a small space between each. Once this CS is filled in, trim off the excess on the edges.

  Save

  The Velvet Meadow specialty paper has a fuzzy, flocked feel to the flowers and some leaves. It’s luxurious! Check it out here.
  I fussy cut the flower and leaves to add to the greeting.

• Quick card with the Violet Dreams DSP

  July 14, 2026

  ---

  Here’s the second card I made featuring the Violet Dreams suite. I shared it during last week’s video.

  Save

  It showcases the pretty Violet Dreams DSP seen here. There are 3 pieces from the DSP on this card: the violets die-cut, the striped frame and the green DSP strip. This DSP has 2 sheets of die-cut ephemera included in the package. I love that; it opens up so many options when creating.

  Save

  
  Besides the DSP I added the White layer behind the frame, the Hydrangea Hue ribbon and rhinestones. So quick!

  Here’s the free project sheet for this card; click here.

  Save

  Look closely at the coordinating colors on this card. Stampin’ Up! makes it so easy to create with perfectly matching colors. It’s my very favorite thing about SU.
  I used the violets as the starting point and simply repeated each color once or twice on my project for a wonderfully cohesive look.

  Tip: If you struggle with color coordination pick two colors and repeat them at least once if not twice on your project. This works!

  Check out the video below where I shared on more pretty card featuring DSP strips.

• How to use up those DSP strips! Video & free project sheet

  July 13, 2026

  ---

  I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video. It’s a great way (and easy too) to use up those scraps of DSP you’re saving.

  Save

  Here I used the Violet Dreams DSP along with the Framed Violets bundle & Highland Heather ink.

  Save

  I started out with 1/2″ thick strips of DSP and adhered the first to a Peaceful Pine CS layer at an angle. Then simply continue to add more strips leaving a space between each. Trim off the excess on all edges and adhere to a larger Peaceful Pine CS layer.

  Adhere to your card base, add a greeting and die-cut accents and you’re done!

  I created a free project sheet with photo, measurements and directions. Click here to print it or download it.

  And below is the video tutorial for this card and one more using the Violet Dreams suite seen here.
