Expand Your Toolbox!

WOW! OK, maybe that wasn't quite loud enough. Let me say it again - WOW!

Just when I think Stampin' Up! has overwhelmed us with awesome specials, they pull another one out of their bag of tricks. And this one is really awesome!

Now through the end of May you can sign up to be a Stampin' Up! demonstrator (which is, like, the coolest thing to be in the world!) and not only get the starter kit at 20% off the regular price but also get a hodgepodge hardware kit from the Spring/Summer Collection absolutely free! This way, when you get your starter kit, in addition to all the basics like SNAIL, stamps, ink and card stock, you will also have these super cool accessories to really punch up your cards! Are you ready to say it with me? WOW!

And another thing -- if you take advantage of this fantastic offer you will also be eligible to attend the Stampin' Up! 20th anniversary Convention this July 30-August 2 in Salt Lake City, Utah! Since this is the 20th anniversary, Convention is sure to sell out quickly, so if you want to join me and all the other demonstrators this summer I would strongly urge you to sign up as soon as possible!

So, now that I have your attention and you're all excited with the possibilities this terrific offer presents, I'd also like to invite you to join my Stampy Nation demonstrator team.

Stampy Nation is 12 strong, divided about equally between hobbyists and business demonstrators with 8 of us in Illinois and the other four in Florida, Rhode Island and Indiana (but soon moving to Montana!). Because we're pretty spread out, we stay connected through a team blog and yahoo group as well as team swaps, periodic team teleconferences and, starting this month, virtual stamping challenge weekends. We're also members of two other larger demonstrator groups, which provide even more opportunities for swaps and exchange of ideas, both creative and business.

Are you curious, but have more questions? That's totally understandable! I always advocate interviewing your potential upline to make certain you are choosing an upline that will be right for you and will provide you with the support you need regardless of the type of Stampin' Up! business (or hobby) you choose. I would be absolutely thrilled if you decided to interview me for the position of your upline, and welcome you to contact me via e-mail at stampwithdiane@comcast.net or phone at 847-452-8285. Let's set up a mutually convenient time to chat about what I offer as an upline to help you decide if the Stampy Nation team is right for you. And if you want to see a brief video on what it's like to join Stampin' Up! before we chat, you can do so on my web site.

And please be assured that while I am totally and completely obsessed and in love with Stampin' Up!, you never have to worry about pressure from me, whether during our initial talk or later, if you choose to join the team. I encourage, but I never push, and I have no problem accepting "no" as an answer, so you don't have to worry about me hounding you if you decide not to sign up or if you sign up with someone else. So give me a call or send me an e-mail and let's talk stamps!
