I became a part of the Stampin’ Up family in September 2016. I’m passionate about cardmaking and I used to buy a lot of my supplies from craft stores, but it was hard to find matching inks, paper, and embellishments. I would waste hours trying to coordinate the supplies for each patterned paper I wanted to use for my cards. When I discovered how well everything in the Stampin’ Up line matched, I was overjoyed. I didn’t have to spend so much time choosing colors anymore, because they had done it all for us. How awesome is that! 

I adore the quality of Stampin’ Up products and I found them to be better than many other products on the market and less expensive. So I decided to stop supporting the big box stores and start my own business and support myself and my hobby. Being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is so fulfilling. I get to be creative every day and be a creative coach, offering new project ideas and support to my customers and friends.

Stampin’ Up demonstrators are great at sharing tips and tricks and I realized that most of the classes I took to learn techniques were actually created or inspired by other demonstrators. Now I have access to a world of techniques.

For me, nothing beats helping someone create that perfect project for a special occasion. Creating cards, scrapbook pages, and gift items is more than just stamps and ink—it’s about expressing yourself and connecting with the people you care about.
