It's always a good time to sign up to be a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, but right now, during Sale-A-Bration is an especially good time!  The Starter Kit, which is normally $175 is discounted 15% during Sale-A-Bration which means you can start your own business in minutes and become a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator for only $148.75 until March 31, 2011.

If you would like to hear directly from Stampin' Up! about the company and about becoming a Demonstrator, you will have an opportunity to attend a special phone call on Tuesday, February 22.  A Stampin' Up! staff member will give a short presentation for about 10 minutes and then take questions.  Space is limited on the call, first-come first-served.

If you would like to take advantage of this unique opportunity just to hear about Stampin' Up!, contact me at KSFontinelle@gmail.com and I will give you further information.  Also, you can find out about Stampin' Up! HERE.

Be sure to contact me before Tuesday, Feb. 22 so I can give you the details on making this call.  There is no obligation and you won't be asked to sign up on the call.  You can just listen in and contact me later to ask questions or find out how to sign up!

Join Stampin' Up! and become a demonstrator by purchasing one of the two Starter Kits valued at over $300!  One is the Standard Starter Kit with stamping supplies, a Decor Element piece, catalogs and business supplies.  The other is the Digital+ Starter Kit, which comes with My Digital Studio software, a Decor Element piece, stamping and business supplies.  

These kits are normally priced at $175, but during Sale-A-Bration, you can start your own business for 15% off the price of the kit!  You can even choose additional Add-Ons if you choose for a little more money if you are particularly interested in scrapbooking or the Decor Elements.

As an EXTRA bonus during Sale-A-Bration, you would also receive this special bundle!

Starter Kit Bonus Bundle

If you join soon, you will have nearly the whole Sale-A-Bration period to get your business rolling with your customers benefiting with free Sale-A-Bration rewards!  It only takes a few minutes to sign up online and make your choices in the Starter Kit. (If you prefer, you can fill out the application on paper and mail it in to Stampin' Up!)  At the end of the process, you will have your Demo ID number, your kit will be ordered (free shipping!), and you will be ready to start exploring the demo side of the Stampin' Up! website where you will find plenty of training and information!

You're welcome to look over the information online, but you probably will have more questions or concerns and I'd be happy to talk to you about those.  Just email me at KSFontinelle@gmail.com and we can get in touch.

No password needed to sign up!  Just go to my website HERE and when you are ready, click the "Join Now" button on the left to go to the application.  It's easy!  And I KNOW you will love being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator!  Contact me!

Any time is a good time to sign up to be a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, but if you can wait a few more days until Sale-A-Bration starts on January 25, 2011, you will find a great deal!  To become a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and start your own stamping business, all you have to do is purchase either the standard Starter Kit or the Digital Starter Kit.  They are both priced at $175 (and valued at over $300), but during Sale-A-Bration, you can purchase a Starter Kit at a 15% discount!

Not only that, but during Sale-A-Bration you will also receive a special bonus bundle of over $50 in free products!  Contact me if you want to know all the details!

*There are quality issues with the Stampin' Scrub included in the Starter Kit which Stampin' Up! is working hard to resolve so depending on when you sign up we'll have to see what the current situation is.

You’re invited!

As I told you the other day, Shelli Gardner decided to deliver the Starter Kit herself to the 10,000th new Stampin' Up! Demonstrator after the big recruiting effort 10,000 in 2010.  I thought it was a wonderful, heartwarming story to read on the day before Thanksgiving and follow along on the little videos Shelli herself was making.  As those of us familiar with Stampin' Up! know, it was just the kind of thing this company would do, and you have to wonder how many other companies show this much heart!

Please read Shelli's own account of the whole story on her blog HERE.  I think it is really an amazing and fun story to read right at the beginning of the holiday season.

Don't forget…..both Starter Kits, the standard one and the one with My Digital Studio….are both on sale 50% off for just a few more days…until Nov. 30th.  You can sign up online these days.  Just go to my website at www.karenfontinelle.stampinup.net  or click HERE to go straight to the "Start Your Own Business" page.

As I recently posted, Stampin' Up! met their goal of recruiting 10,000 new demonstrators in 2010 just the other day!  Shelli has been making videos about it and the count is still growing!!  You HAVE to watch this video and see what she is doing now!!!

Stampin' Up! set a goal of 10,000 new recruits in 2010……and they just reached it!  Shelli Gardner, Cofounder and CEO of Stampin' Up! started making little videos as the count got close!  Can you imagine working for a company that would make such an effort to track their efforts and be so excited when they reached their goal?  They put up sheets of vinyl at the home office like a blackboard and put tic marks to count each new demonstrator, finally ending with a jar of candy kisses to count the last 1500!  And finally to gather all the employees in the beautiful atrium of the Riverton office to congratulate everyone with applause and cheers!

Watch Shelli's videos here!

If you would like to be a part of the NEXT group of 10,000 and to finish off the counting in 2010, please consider the Half-Price Starter Kits on sale now for just one more week!  Never have I seen Stampin' Up! make such an offer, so it truly is amazing!  You will have options to customize your kit and can sign up easily online in minutes…..or mail in the forms, if you prefer….there is still time!

I'm happy to talk about the business opportunity and becoming a demo with you before you sign up if you'd like…..or just email me with any questions!  You don't have to know anything to start…..lots of demos have even signed up without  attending a workshop…or signed up thinking it would be just for their own discount and then built up a good business instead!

At my last stamp camp, as I looked around at the ladies attending, I realized with this particular group, I wouldn't know ANY of them had it not been for being a Stampin' Up! demo!  You'll find it's a pretty good way to meet new people and make special new friends!
