It's the Start of Something New with Stampin' Up! Starter Kit Promotion

 

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the perfect post today. It's the most wonderful time of the year with Stampin' Up! October begins the new year for Stampin' Up! They know that demonstrator rewards are the most appreciated by demonstrators, so Stampin' Up! decided to reward customers with more rewards when joining the Stampin' Up! family. 

When I became a demonstrator, I didn't think about what I should get. I didn't have many stamps, inks, or papers. We also didn't have the fabulous die-cutting systems there are now. Stampin' Up! also had suggested kit selections, so I just picked one that I liked. 

Today, you can customize and choose any products you wish. I'll talk about that in a bit. Let's look at the benefits of being a demonstrator.

DEMONSTRATOR BENEFITS

• Get 20%–25% off all Stampin’ Up! products.
• No “Selling” necessary…. unless you want to
• Earn additional income based on your sales and recruiting–just how much extra income is up to you.
• Set your own schedule and put in as much (or as little) time as you’d like.
• Get support through online training resources, a quarterly magazine, events, and a demonstrator-only online community with thousands of project ideas.
• Access to regular promotions, giving you an opportunity to contact customers.
• Opportunity to earn incentive trips.
• Chance to learn creative tips and techniques, share ideas, and meet new friends who love paper crafting as much as you do!

Now, what can I suggest for your starter kit? You have $155 of merchandise to choose and will pay j$99. That's free shipping and a free Paper Pumpkin kit.

Starter Kit 1: Novice with very little stamping supplies 

Starting off with a stamp bundle with a punch is a great way for a beginning stamper. One that has sentiments for many occasions is best. It allows you to stamp a great card, and then step up your card with the coordinating punch. An assortment or cardstock, 5 must have colors, and some adhesives makes this a perfect beginner's kit.                 

Starter Kit 2 : Has attending some classes and has some stamps and other supplies. Wants to do die-cutting and more challenging things. 

For this 2nd starter kit idea, since the stamper has gone to some classes and knows the basics and has some stamps and other supplies, it's time for more getting to be more confident. Stampin' Up! has 2 fabulous die-cutting machines. I really like to have customers begin with the Mini Machine. So many of the dies and embossing folders fit through the Mini and it's easy to store and is portable. The bundle featuring the Stylish Shapes dies is a perfect way to begin using the die-cutting machines. 

Starter Kit 3 : Is an avid stamper and has stamped and attended classes. Has the die-cutting system, lots of stamps and things.

For this starter kit idea, it is all about techniques and ways to make your project a real WOW! Heat embossing, embossing paste techniques, and watercoloring all are a step up to a pro. 

Starter Kit 4 : Is in Avid stamper and just wants it all for coloring.

I decided to focus on the Stampin' Write Markers. These are water-based markers and have many uses. You can simply color open line images, or step it up a little and use them to color the rubber stamps to get a variation of colors. Stampin' Blends are another popular way to color. Stampin' Up! has over 40 color pairs to choose from. 

There are no wrong choices to choosing what is best for you and where you are in your stamping journey. I didn't mention the acryllic blocks that are needed for the stamps, so those could be part of your first order as a demonstrator. I hope you like my starter kit ideas.

Join + FREE Bundle with Stampin' Up! Starter Kit Ideas

When I joined Stampin’ Up! Over 25 years ago, I didn’t get to choose whatever I wanted. Boy times have changed, and I love that you now can choose any of the products that interest you. This is great, but it can also be so overwhelming to decide what to choose. Now with $125 of product for $99 you can add even more. Now through September 30th you can choose 1 of 12 new bundles FREE.

DEMONSTRATOR BENEFITS

• Get 20%–25% off all Stampin’ Up! products.
• No “Selling” necessary…. unless you want to
• Earn additional income based on your sales and recruiting–just how much extra income is up to you.

• Access to regular promotions, giving you an opportunity to contact customers.
• Opportunity to earn incentive trips.
• Chance to learn creative tips and techniques, share ideas, and meet new friends who love paper crafting as much as you do!

These are the products I would suggest in your starter kit. I am working with an idea that you may not have many crafting supplies. If so, you can also change out any of my suggestions with your own.

I decided to choose a couple of stamp sets that you can use the Stampin' Write Markers to color onto the images before stamping. This is a great way to start and not have to have so many different stamp pads. The two stamp sets I chose also have various sentiments that can be for many different occasions during the year. Click here to download a PDF of these products.

Now if you have adhesives, cardstock, but you don't have much in the way of inks or stamp sets, I've created another suggested starter kit just for you.

This suggested list gives you a wonderful assortment of the Soft Subtle color grouping. This is perfect for the spring and summer months. The stamp sets are chosen for a bit of masculine and feminine feel. A good sentiment set is also included for quick and fun cardmaking. Click here for a PDF of these products.

I hope these suggestions help you decide that becoming part of my Café Team would be great (because it is). Remember you can substitute any of the products suggest, but you cannot go over $125 even by a penny.

Remember this joining promotion is from August - September only, so don't miss out on the FREE Bundle pick. Contact me with any help you may need. I can't wait to have you as part of my Cafe' Team.

Happy Stampin',
