Stampin’ Up!’s BIGGEST Starter Kit Joining Specia l May 6th – 31st

May is an awesome time to join my Stampin’ Up! Team!! Have you ever thought about joining the Stampin’ Up! community? Are you into scrapbooking and have you seen all the new scrapbook products Stampin’ Up! has? Is your wish/want list pretty long and do you order often? Wouldn’t you love to get all these products at a discount? Why not consider joining the Stampin’ Up! community between May 6 and May 31, and save a minimum of 20% off everything you buy? 

Stampin’ Up!’s BIGGEST Starter Kit Special will be available for a limited time! Between May 6–31, anyone who signs up to be a demonstrator can pack their Starter Kit with $165 USD worth of products for only $99 USD. That’s an extra $66 USD in products!

Crafting is even more fun with community, and there’s never been a better time to join then with Stampin’ Up!’s BIGGEST Starter Kit Special. Become a demonstrator and enjoy all the perks that come with that, like a 20–25% product discount, exclusive early access to new products, the chance to attend incredible training and crafting events like Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage and Creativity Now, and so much more!

• Ready to Join our team?  Click HERE  for more information. One of the perks of being a demonstrator is to pre-order before a new catalog launches, and the Online Exclusives we get to order before they are released to customers.  You will also be getting at least a 20% discount on purchases. If you love card-making as a hobby, you can still be a demonstrator and get that discount to help get more card-making items,  or you can be like I was and buy Stampin’ Up! products for 10 years before I became wise enough to become a demonstrator to get the discount.  When I think of all the stamping products that 20% would have brought over those 10 years, I cringe.

  Being a part of the Stampin’ Up! Community is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.  Are you new to papercrafting and cardmaking and don’t know where to start, but would like to join to save?  As I said earlier in this post, I’m here to assist you in any way I can.  Ask me!

Still unsure about this and want to talk more.  Contact me at shirleygentryis@gmail.com.
