Why did I sign up?
I have enjoyed card making and paper crafting for many years. As a stay at home mum with three children, I wanted to have the chance to do something different from just being a mum and share my enjoyment of crafting with others while make some money to pay for my own craft supplies. In August 2012 I signed up as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. I started with a monthly class with three people that I knew who liked stamping and were keen to come to a class. From those three people who started with me, one has become a Demonstrator and has joined my team, one still regularly comes to classes, and the other one has moved on.
Since I started my classes seven years ago, a lot has changed. I have met many new people, taught a variety of classes and I have grown and learned along the way. Not only is it the people I have met through my classes that I appreciate, but also the friendships that I have made with other Demonstrators. I enjoy attending Demonstrator events, as well as holding my own classes. We have a team camp coming up at Rotorua in February 2020 which I am really looking forward to.
When I started out over seven years ago, I never knew where becoming a Demonstrator would lead to. It started with me teaching a class once a month as a way for me to purchase my own supplies. Now that all of my children are at school it has become my part-time job. I teach more classes and have a team. My craft supplies have hugely grown at no expense to the family budget and it is also a way that I can contribute to the family income as well as having fun at the same time.
If you would like to know more about becoming a Demonstrator yourself, please feel free to ask – no obligation.

Frequently Asked Questions:
1. What is the minimum sales requirement to stay active as a demonstrator? You need only submit about $550 per quarter to remain a demonstrator. (This is less than the average sales in a single workshop. If you hold just one event a month, you can usually meet your quarterly minimum. However, you can also purchase the minimum amount yourself or with a few friends). You can submit your sales requirements in one order or in smaller orders over the course of the three-month period.
2. What if I want to do this as a hobby and not necessarily as a business? You are welcome on the team no matter how you want to run your demonstratorship or to what volume. If you choose not to hold events, you can work to generate online orders, orders from family and friends, and order product for yourself.
3. Can I be my own hostess? Yes. You can hold your own workshops and be your own hostess, collecting Stampin’ Rewards as well as your own discount and any other associated benefits.
4. How much does it cost to buy the Starter Kit? The kit is $189 and you can choose what comes in it! Choose up to $285 worth of product plus you will receive a business supply pack valued at $90 (catalogues, order forms, etc).
5. Can I still attend your classes? As space permits. While I very much value having team members in class so they can learn how I work and learn stamp techniques, keep in mind we have many demonstrator-only events. Classes are hosted by and designed for clients, so while my team members ARE welcome, please understand if space doesn’t allow, the clients will be given priority.
6. Do I have to recruit? No, there is no requirement to build your own team. However, there are many benefits to doing so, such as the close relationships and the support you can give each other. I do encourage my team to recruit and if it’s something you’d like to do, I will give you full support and resources to help you meet your goals.
7. What if I don’t meet the minimums or things change for me and I quit? You may stop at any time and will not be penalized. You simply stop placing orders. However, there are many benefits to remaining an active demonstrator.
