Benefits of Becoming a Demonstrator
Whether you just love to stamp, or you want to grow a successful, thriving business, the Stampin' Up! opportunity is the right fit for you. Stampin' Up! demonstrators enjoy many benefits, with just a few listed below:

Product discount. Demonstrators get a 20 percent discount on all Stampin' Up! products, including stamp sets, paper, and accessories. It's a great way to support your love of stamping and paper crafting.
Extra income. You'll earn extra income based on your sales and recruiting--how much extra income is up to you. Maybe you just want enough income to pay the electric bill every month, or maybe your goal is bigger--the monthly payment for your new car--it's your decision! See the Compensation Table for more information.
Flexible schedule. This is your business, so you can put in as much (or as little) time as you'd like.
Support from Stampin' Up! We love our demonstrators and it shows through our demonstrator support materials, including a monthly magazine, workshop ideas, and audio and video trainings on all kinds of topics available on our Demonstrator Web Site.

More Big Shot Projects

These were a couple of the other Big shot projects from my Big Shot class. I will be holding another 4 month big shot class once my baby is born.

We used the scallop circle die to make these simple cones.


I saw a card done by Cindy Peterson with this cute purse. The top note is my favorite die and I love this design!


Again, the top note used to make a cute bag.


And finally, one of my new favs... Box #2. I love how simple it is to make a cute little gift with this die!

1st Big Shot Class

These 2 projects were CASED from my my friend Susan Campfield. Above, a card using the scallop envelope die. Below a small brag book using chipboard and the top note die.



A gift box using the petal card die. You could also make a closed box with one more petal card on top....


And finally, a small bag tag using the scallop circle die & shrinky dink paper!


I would love for you to join me for my next Big Shot class at the end of February. Email me for more info! april@heartlandham.com
