I have the best job. One of my favorite parts of being a Stampin Up demonstrator is meeting people. I work anywhere from 15-20 craft retreats per year. I know, it's a lot of retreats. I'm usually there only one day though so I still have some time in my weekend to get other things done too. But, I do really look forward to the retreats. Here is my set up from this past Saturday. I have lots of Stampin Up kits for sale plus a variety of kits … [Read more...] about Working Weekend
Event
Creativity Now
This past weekend, Stampin Up held their annual Creativity Now event. This is a virtual event that Demonstrators can attend. This event is designed for us to craft together virtually. In addition, we get to see sneak peeks of upcoming products that will be released in the future. Very often, we'll get to hear the story behind the products and how they were designed. For this event, we used the Peaceful Garden Suite, which will be … [Read more...] about Creativity Now
Team Retreat
As you know, last week I had an unintentional pause on my blog posts. Despite my best efforts, I ended up not having enough time to pre-plan a couple posts. And this is the reason... I planned a crafty retreat weekend for my downline. Planning and hosting a retreat is so different from attending one as a vendor. I have a great appreciation for those that do this regularly. Plus, I need to thank Lyndi for all of her help behind the scenes. She … [Read more...] about Team Retreat
Have I Learned My Lesson?
I'm sure some of my friends would jokingly say probably not. Let me tell you a story... Once upon a time (a couple weekends ago), Stampin Up hosted a virtual event for Demonstrators called Creativity Now. This is an awesome event. It's a fun time crafting with Stampin Up employees and we get some sneak peaks on new upcoming products and some behind the scenes on how products come to life. When you sign up for the event, you get the … [Read more...] about Have I Learned My Lesson?
Sale and OnStage Recap
Before I talk about Saturday's event, I want to let you know about Stampin Up's Seasonal Sale this week, Tuesday through Thursday. Select products in the Annual Catalog will be on sale for three days. This is a great way to collect those ink pads and paper that you have on your shopping list. Keep in mind that quantities are limited. Order early in the sale to get the best selection. Attending a virtual event is not quite the same as an in … [Read more...] about Sale and OnStage Recap
New At SU Team
Before I get into today's post, this is just a reminder that Thursday 8/31 is the last day for the Kit Sale and to redeem your Bonus days coupons. This past weekend at BackStage, several of the New At SU team got together to swap cards. Here we are holding up our cards that we'd designed. Our Hop Team is all over the world and it's rare that some of us are in the same location all at once. This is one of the best things about Stampin Up … [Read more...] about New At SU Team
Out Of The Office
Today I'm in Las Vegas at Stampin Up's Leadership conference, called BackStage. This is an event that I have to qualify to attend with a specific amount of sales and people in my downline. Each time I qualify for this event, I am so thankful for you because this is not something I can achieve on my own. I wouldn't be here without the support of my customers, friends, and downline. I truly appreciate your support. I'll be sure to share some … [Read more...] about Out Of The Office
Onstage Make & Takes
Last Friday, I shared pictures from our recent OnStage event. But I realized I forgot to include pictures of our Make & Takes. Yes, even though the event was virtual, Stampin Up had Make & Takes for us if we wanted to purchase an add-on craft kit for our OnStage event. This was such a great idea. Those that didn't care for the kit, didn't have to purchase it. And those that wanted it, could. Of course, I bought the add-on kit. The kit … [Read more...] about Onstage Make & Takes
