My Story--

It has been awhile since I posted anything, so today I decided to share "MY" story of how I became involved with Stampin' UP!.


I was introduced to stamping and card making about 21yrs ago in Italy, on a military base. I would mainly do heat emboss, I thought that was the easiest thing to do. From 1991 til 2001, I would stamp, and make cards off and on. In 2001 I was introduced to Stampin' UP! by my neighbor. I loved the products, the paper and ink, they all match, which I thought was great and still do. In 2008 I decided I would become a Stampin' UP! demonstrator, I was using all their products for my cards why not get it for a discount and I knew I was going to need something else to do with my time since my daughter was graduating in 2009. So, you can join me and make money with Stampin' UP! and get their great products at a discount.
