It all started when a friend of mine invited me over to make cards on a Friday night. There were 3 other ladies there too. We had a great time creating beautiful cards while laughing and drinking wine. I was hooked! I started envisioning my own home filled with friends making these beautiful cards. So, I started considering becoming a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator myself.
Before making such a huge decision and investment I researched the company and found they are
registered with the Better Business Bureau and have earned an A+ rating for excellence in business since April 21, 1998! To be in business successfully for over 25 years says a lot about a company. Also, they are very supportive and have tons of resources to help their demonstrators.
But besides all that I just love Stampin’ Up! Products! My favorite thing is the quality of stamps. They are firm and not squishy so I never get that blurred look I get from lesser quality stamps. I also love the large selection and variety of stamp designs. But they have more than stamps. They also sell color coordinated paper crafting products including cardstock, ink pads, die cuts and lots of fun embellishments to give my projects that personal finishing touch.
There are two more things I love and that is Memories & More and Paper Pumpkin.
Are you a scrapbooker? I am! And I have been since 1994. And Stampin’ Up! has a line of products called Memories & More which includes coordinating card packs, designer paper and embellishments that will keep me scrappin’ for years to come!
And then there is Paper Pumpkin. A monthly subscription that includes absolutely everything you need to create that month’s project. The kit comes with an exclusive stamp set and ink spot along with all the supplies to finish the project.
I am excited about sharing my love of crafting in my home and online. And very grateful to have an opportunity to turn my passion into a career.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

Where do I find (on your) site on you tube to fine measurements and tutorials. There are two I love and want.
I want the teepee one and the halloween fun fold pouch. I do not see were to find these. PLEASE help me.
I wrote one time and got no answer.
Thank you craftylady71@charter.net phone 618-550-9427
Kristina says
The measurements are on the teepee post and the today’s post is the pouch.
Ruth Standefer says
You don’t list the measurements with pictures of your cards after the videos on your web site? I like your videos but it hard to write it all down as you go. Thank you.

Howdy Texas! First timer here – signing in from North Wales here in the UK , I’ve only just come across you – via your YouTube channel ~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xfX_tOOaKY. I love Quilting/Patchwork designs that can be ‘translated’ over into cardmaking and vice versa. I’m also a mixed media geek – often combining pretty/tetural papers/cardstock and fabric in my work and play.
I hope that you and your family had a truly festive Christmas and have a great start to 2022 this evening/tomorrow. We tend to have a celebratory brunch on New Year’s Day rather than partying into the wee small hours as we work crazy hours as a carer/support worker.
Kristina says
hello! yes I had a very nice Christmas thank you. Our New Year’s Day tradition is to eat black eyed peas for good luck. Not sure where the tradition comes from but I cook up a pot every year.
