Why I Joined Stampin’ Up!
So as my website continues to evolve and since at this moment, I do not have enough supplies to start posting card and paper projects, I thought I would post some general post. So I thought I would start with why I joined Stampin’ Up!®
Thats get right into it. This could be a lengthy post and I apologize in advance.
I am going to start with the main reason. Color coordination. I love how Stampin’ Up!’s card stock, ink, markers, etc. all coordinate. It makes life so much easier. Not to mention that when you order designer series paper, their catalog lists the coordinating colors. All the hard work is done for you. Can it get any easier? I think not! I love to create clean and simple designs, take my blog for example. It’s clean and there is a lot of white space. Colors coordinate well and are easy on the eyes. With Stampin’ Up! products I can achieve this easily and most importantly quickly. No guess work for me and I can just dive right into the fun.
Who loves to save money? I know I do and with Stampin’ Up! I can save 20% on all orders. 20% might not sound like a lot, but when you break it all down, every penny counts. When you figure in the sales tax, I can get card stock as low as $0.20 a sheet and that’s for a 12″×12″ piece. Now I am sure you asking, what about shipping? Yes, there is shipping on every order as well, but when you spend $150 in an order I also receive hostess dollars. Hostess dollars equals free money, free money equals free products. Who does not love free? Another positive for spending $150 in a transaction, is that I meet half of my quarterly requirement. So in the end it all works out and this my friends, makes me happy (probably more than it should).
Even though there are a lot more reasons why I joined Stampin’ Up!, there is just one more I want to discuss. You become part of a huge community of stampers from around the world. I have not joined in any conversations on Stampin’ Connections, Stampin’ Up!’s community forum, but just by me joining through my upline, Tina, I have been welcomed to a group of stampers like no other. Always interacting on Facebook, showcasing their projects and much more. They have welcomed me with open arms and I am so happy to have join this incredible team of stampers.
Have you joined Stampin’ Up! recently or even if you have been doing this years, what was one of the reasons you joined Stampin’ Up!? Let me know by leaving a comment. Please note that if you have not posted a comment yet, your comment will have to be approved by me first, before it will be published publicly.
Until next time … get creative.
