Stampin Up!

I joined SU as a demonstrator last August for the discount. I’m considered a “hobby demo” because I don’t focus on sales or getting customers. Sometimes I feel if you do it as a business to profit, it takes all the fun out of it. For me anyway. I like to make what I like, and use products that appeal to me, regardless of whether or not they’re good to “demo” to customers.

Anyway, enough rambling and onto sharing. With the debut of the Big Shot and exclusive dies, I’ve been very busy. I’m in an upswing as far as stamping mojo is concerned and I’ve found lots of inspiration out there on blogs and through splitcoaststampers.com (if you haven’t already, you should definitely check out that site). For a downline meeting recently, my upline asked me to come up with some samples and a make & take using the Big Shot. This is what I’ve been up to:
