Stampin' Up!® needs all kinds of demonstrators!
...........what kind would you be?

FRIENDS & FAMILY DEMONSTRATOR:  You just want to buy all your stamping and scrapbooking supplies at a great discount and help you "friends & family" get their supplies too!  Also want access to great "demonstrator only" websites and monthly idea magazine--always tons of ideas at your fingertips! 
No pressure to sell to others, attend events, or communicate with anyone--you just simply order when you want to.

GIVE IT A TRY DEMONSTRATOR:  You join Stampin' Up! to see what it is all about--with no long-term
commitment or plan.  You purchase the kit (which is a great deal all by itself,) have a couple of workshops
or classes, just to see if you might like it.  If you find it's not for you--you can become a "discount
purchaser" or just say "good bye!"

HOBBY DEMONSTRATOR:  You like the idea if doing workshops and earning extra money, but only when
it’s convenient for you.  You might work a lot some months and very little, or not at all, during other months.  You love to stamp and/or scrapbook and like to support your own "hobby" so that you can buy everything that you want with the money you earn!

PART TIME DEMONSTRATOR:  You see the potential to do a little work and earn a little money on a consistent basis.  You want no pressure to ever do more than you want, but you want help and support from a "upline" who truly cares about you and your goals.  You may have specific goals in mind--pay for preschool, college tuition, car payment, new furniture, etc...

CAREER DEMONSTRATOR:  You recognize the potential of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and want to build a business with long-term career goals.  You want to pursue management and want to move up the career ladder.  You love attending Stampin’ Up! events and building relationships with other demonstrators and customers.  You intend to work at your business in a consistent and outgoing manner.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS A FLEXIBLE, FUN BUSINESS YOU CAN BUILD TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS AND DESIRES.  And, as you move through life, it can change!!!  I've been all of the above at one time or another!!  The one thing that doesn't change--the friends you've made along the way!!

STAMPIN' UP! is for EVERYONE!

I would love to have you join the Nacho Average Stampers!!!  Please click HERE to join -- my password is "nachos"!!

Happy Monday!!!

Hi!!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!  I sure did!!  It started on Friday with a craft fair at the Heart Hospital here in Albuquerque!  My best friend, Pami, had a table right next to mine, so we chit chatted all day!!  Here are some of the items I made:

These were little notebooks I found--they had a design on the front, but I had to had my own!!  And, the pen matches!!  The ribbon is some of the organdy ribbon we used to carry--sure do miss it!!  But, now we have the satin, so it's okay!! :-)

And, here are some fun little bookmarks made with the giant paper clips.  These are so fun and easy to make--and they always sell out!!

These are pillow box treats, made with the Big Shot!! 

Here is another notebook I made with Circle Circus.  I love the Zebra print!!!

 

Hope you enjoyed these!!  I'll share a few more tomorrow!!

Hugs,

Upcoming Craft Fair!!!

Good morning!!  I am participating in a craft fair at the Heart Hospital downtown Albuquerque--it's this Friday, from 7am to 3pm!!  Come and see me!! 

Here is one of the items I've made:

This one is for Easter--I used the XL 2-step Bird Punch and the Welcome Neighbor Designer Series Paper pad.  The "happy Easter" is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.  After I punched the bird out, I sent him through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.

 

And, here's one using the Picture This Level I Hostess Set from Stampin' Up!

These are just little triangles with Hershey Kisses inside!!

The cardstock measures 4" x 5", scored on the 5" side at 1 1/4", 2 1/2" & 3 3/4".  The kisses are held in with sticky strip!  The designer paper measures 3 3/4" x 4 1/2"--no scoring--just wrap it around, and secure it with sticky strip!  Super easy!!!

Have a GREAT day!!

Super Simple!!!

Happy Sunday morning!!  Today I have a SUPER simple card for you!!  It's made with the Welcome Neighbor Designer Series Paper Pad--found in the Sale-a-bration Brochure!  Which means you can get it FREE!!!  But, hurry, Sale-a-bration ends March 31!!!  Not much time left!!

It's just some layering, and then stamping the sentiment.  I used one from the Thank You Kindly set, but any sentiment could be substituted!!  The punch is also one of the Sale-a-bration items--the Scallop Trim Border punch!!  It was quick and easy to put together!! 

Have a GREAT day!!
