Become a Big Shot, Get a Big Shot!

Big Shot Flyer Nov

Yes, you will be a Big Shot if you become a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator because that's how much Stampin' Up! values their demonstrators. I can tell you, but you will see for yourself when you become part of the Stampin' Up! family and participate in your own stamping, scrapbooking and/or digital papercrafting business with Stampin' Up! and especially when you attend any Stampin' Up! events, like Regionals or Convention.

You can become a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator any day, but if you do it on or before Friday, Nov. 11, 2011 you will be able to order a Big Shot die-cutting machine…or…if you already own one….order $100 in free products…perhaps more dies and things to use with your Big Shot! This offer began in October but was extended until November 11th.  So time is running out!  Don't put it off!  Give it a try!  There is no obligation to do anything more….but you just might find that you LIKE being able to run your own business and have fun while you do it!  After all, the holidays are coming up fast and this could provide a little extra cash for those holiday gifts!

I'm happy to talk with you about becoming and being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator!  Just email me at Karen@Karenstamps.com and we can set something up.

If you haven't heard, Stampin' Up! has a wonderful digital papercrafting design program called My Digital Studio. It is intuitive and easy to learn, and I think everyone who has it loves it!  There is also a website available to demonstrators and customers alike called MyDigitalStudio.net.  You can go there to see samples of projects, tutorials to help you learn, questions and answers in forums, etc.  It is a great resource and it is free and for everyone.

Today is the last day, Nov. 7th, to get your FREE digital downloads!  Just go to www.mydigitalstudio.net, take a short survey, and then get your free downloads for My Digital Studio.  If you don't own My Digital Studio, but you have some other design program, most likely you will be able to use the downloads.  You can purchase the My Digital Studio software at my Stampin' Up! online store.  You have a couple of options available.

The image at the top of this post is one I made from one of the free downloads.  It was cute enough as it was, but just to play with it I changed the background sky color to a darker one, moved the trees and snowman around and moved the holiday greeting tree over to the left.  It all only took a few minutes.

To see the downloads you can get for free, just click HERE or go to www.mydigital studio.net.

Warmest of Wishes Thanksgiving Wreath Card

Warmest of Wishes Thanksgiving Wreath Card

Warmest of Wishes is a hostess stamp set in the Holiday Mini Catalog, and the wreath can be used on a Thanksgiving card or many other kinds of cards. It's a versatile stamp set. Check it out in my Stampin' Up! store. If you hold a Stampin' Up! workshop, you can purchase this stamp set with your Hostess dollars if you achieve $150 in workshop sales (OR if your own personal order reaches that total).

Stampin' Up! has made it very enticing right now to hold a workshop with your friends!  Yesterday they announced the "It's Good To Be The Hostess" promotion!!  If your workshop (or personal order) reaches $350 in total sales, you will get an EXTRA $35 in Hostess dollars to spend! That's $35 extra in Stampin' Up! products you will receive!

It's Good To Be The Hostess

Contact me at Karen@Karenstamps.com to schedule your workshop between now and December 15 or to place your own order. Another way to "have a workshop" is to show the catalog to some friends and collect their orders.  No muss, no fuss….if you would like to do it that way.  Of course it is always fun to get together to stamp. Contact me if you'd like to participate in this great promotion but would like workshop alternatives.

Happy November! Still Time to Get a Big Shot!

Big Shot Display at Convention

Here's a photo of a real Big Shot and the Doctor's Bag #113474 (bag available for purchase) and a die all on display at the Stampin' Up! Convention!

************

If you become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator right now by purchasing one of the Starter Kits for only $175, you will be able to attend the Stampin' Up! Convention this summer and have the time of your life!  But that is just an extra benefit compared to having your own stamping and scrapbooking business and making money doing something you love! 

You have from today until November 11 to make this important but gratifying decision to start your own business and become a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator….and then you also get a free Big Shot (or, if you already own one, choose $100 in Stampin' Up! product instead!)

You will have plenty of products and materials in your Starter Kit to get your business off to a flying start….but to add a Big Shot Die-cutting Machine….wow!….that is just the icing on the cake!!
