Inking of You Day

Sue — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 06:00:22 +0000

Saturday was such a fun day. It was the first Inking of You Day, which is an incentive day that my Stampin' Up! manager, Terri, has begun offering. Demonstrators have to qualify for it with their sales and recruiting. I was thrilled when I saw that two of my downline also qualified.

It may have been raining outside all day, but it was sunny inside with a whole lotta papercrafting going on. Terri spoiled us rotten, which we all just loved! We can't wait to qualify for the next one!

Stampin’ DIVA Day

Sue — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 06:01:38 +0000

I can't think of a better way to spend April Fool's Day than with my team of Stampin' DIVA's. We had the windows open to enjoy the beautiful Spring weather. The Shoebox Swap cards were spectacular! The potluck was delish. The business and creative sharing was awesome! A very fun and relaxing afternoon together!

Your lazy scrappin' lady decided to use the same layout that I did with the grandgirls on St. Patrick's Day. Just changed the colors from green tones to blue tones.

Why NOW Is The BEST Time To Be A Stamping Business Owner

Sue — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 06:00:12 +0000

A few year ago, I had a business coach named John Sanpietro, from Stamping Is My Business. This week, he wrote the following article:

The 3 Reasons I Believe There's NEVER Been A Better Time To Own Your Own Stamping Business!

1. Paper Crafting Continues To Grow Annually

According to the CHA (Craft and Hobby Association), paper crafting continues to be the number one craft-related hobby. In fact, spending on paper crafting supplies has grown by approximately $100 million per year for the last several years… a time-period where the overall economy has not done well AND most discretionary spending has decreased dramatically.

While I wouldn't exactly call the industry 'recession-proof,' it certainly has prospered in an era of adversity. If you were going to start a business now, THIS is the business to start!

2. More Ways To Make Money Than Ever Before

As technology evolves, and consumers become more comfortable utilizing it, the number of revenue streams a stamping business owner can open up has steadily increased.

Selling product, charging for classes and growing your downline have now been joined by online classes and clubs, e-books, DVDs, Etsy stores, custom-cardmaking and more!

Stamping businesses have never had more flexibility and opportunity. Frankly, it is a LOT easier to run a stamping business that pays you what you deserve now than it ever has been!

Truly, whatever your situation, you should be able to find a profitable model that fits your lifestyle!

3. More Tools To Reach More People Than Ever Before

At one time, you had to spend a great deal of money to get your marketing message out to a handful of people. Now, the opposite is true! It costs little or nothing to get your business in front of thousands… even tens of thousands of potential customers!

Again, as technology has advanced, the playing field has been leveled to the point where you, the home-based business owner, have the same tools at your disposal as a large corporation. You can now tap into the same marketing channels that big businesses do with a minimal investment.

The fact that you can expose your business to more people than has ever been possible before means the growth potential of your stamping business is greater than its ever been before!

Whether you want to run a very traditional stamping business, an entirely online one or any other model, it's never been easier to get in front of your potential customers and make that happen!

The notion that you could run an incredibly profitable stamping business out of your home with no employees and very little overhead has never been more true than it is today!

I've been working with stamping business owners since 2000, and I've always been a huge fan of the business model, but as someone who's job it is to help you be successful, I can honestly say I've never been more enthusiastic about your future!

If you want to become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and own your own Stamping Business, the Starter Kit is $125 until March 31, 2012. You can join my downline by clicking here.

Super Stampin’ DIVA Day

Sue — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 07:00:20 +0000

I believe this is the third year that my downline meeting has been held on Superbowl Sunday. Most of my team members don't care too much about football, including me. Plus, we were too busy being Super Stampers to worry about football. We had another wonderful day of stampin' fun. I look forward to these days more than I think my downline realize. We had a shoebox swap, a potluck supper and then our time of sharing business and creative ideas.

(L-R) Front Row: Cyndi, Diane, Autumn, Kimmer

(L-R) Back Row: Nancy, Julianne, Sandy, Denise, Deb, and me

This is what my dining room table looks like when we have our creative and business sharing. We are passing things around the table in both directions and everyone is taking photo's, asking questions and admiring it. It could be called creative chaos and what a beautiful chaos it is!

I would love to include you in my Stampin' DIVA Days. Now is the time. The kit is only $125 during Sale-a-Bration. Here are the details:

A FREE package of Designer Series Paper ($10.95 or less) or a digital download (any price) begins the month after a new demonstrator joins Stampin' Up!
The new demonstrator may alternate between Designer Series Paper and a digital download each month.
Free paper or digital download does not include tax or shipping.
The new demonstrator must redeem her free item on a demonstrator order. If a demonstrator chooses not to add any other items to her order besides the free Designer Series Paper, she will incur the minimum shipping charge (there are no shipping charges for digital downloads).
Demonstrator must remain active during incentive period to be eligible for free items.

The Best Invitation

Sue — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 07:00:55 +0000

Stuck in between a handful of Christmas cards and bills in today's mail was this envelope.

Inside was this package. I opened it and found this fan.

These are the invitations to the exclusive Manager's Reception event at the Leadership Conference in San Antonio. We get to attend a show with the Chinese Acrobats of Hebei. I am SO excited! Isn't this the coolest invitation? The fan was wrapped in 122352 Timeless Portrait Designer Series Paper and tied with 117286 Real Red 3/8" Satin Ribbon. Stampin' Up! sure knows how to add those great little touches and set the tone for a party to remember!

Leadership is my favorite Stampin' Up! event each year. And, this year, my registration was FREE! This is a new perk of becoming a demonstrator and getting a few friends to join the Stampin' Up! family. I love knowing that I get to have two mini-vacations a year by attending Leadership and Convention. Both events are inspiring and fun to attend!

Contact me today for information on how you can join my team and start making your own dreams come true; whether you want to get discounted stamping and scrapbooking supplies, need to earn some extra money, want to make new friends, or if you want to travel. I would love to help you!

Stampin’ DIVA Christmas Party

Sue — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 07:00:28 +0000

It was a busy weekend for me, which ended Sunday with my downline Christmas party. We met at Connie's beautiful home in Andover.

The stamping has begun. We made Valentine's/love cards. Just like retail businesses, we have to stay ahead of the holidays!

(L-R): Amy, Julianne, Kathleen, Nicole

And the stamping continues.

(L-R): Sandy, Linda, Debbie, Connie, Retha

We did stop stamping long enough to eat dinner. And the piece de resistance was a red velvet cake made by Retha! It was delish!!!

After dinner, we played the Dice Game for Stampin' Up! prizes.

Stampin’ DIVA Day

Sue — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 07:00:05 +0000

I am blessed that I have such an incredible team of demonstrators. On Sunday afternoon, 12 of them came over for my Stampin' DIVA Day. We started with a shoebox swap. The cards are so beautiful. Some of my team members create their own cards, while others will honestly say that they copied their card. None of us care because we love to have samples.

Today was extra special because we had a demonstrator who moved from California to Minnesota who joined us. She searched for demonstrators who lived close to her and my name came up. She sent me an email, and it didn't take long for us to find out that she had been attending my church. We met at church the next Sunday and just hit it off. The good news is she fit right into my awesome team of demonstrators! So we have officially adopted her! Welcome Kathleen!

One of my Technique Club members also attended my team meeting today. She is thinking about becoming a demonstrator so she can get her supplies at a discount. You know, the HUGE wish list that just keeps growing! Because my team of demonstrators are so welcoming and friendly, Deb had a very enjoyable time. I can't wait for Deb to officially join the Stampin' Up! family!

There are only four more days to take advantage of the Free Big Shot or $100 in Free Product Special for anyone who signs up to become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. Click here for all the details. Then contact me and I'll answer any questions or concerns! I'd love you to enjoy the wonderful camaraderie that demonstrators have for each other.

Here are pictures of a whole lotta creating that took place on Sunday!
