Stampin' Up independent demonstrator at your service - starter kit unboxing

Hi everyone, 

I'm back from my holiday, I miss the sun already but today is the day I can FINALLY share my exciting news with you...and it arrived in this massive box: 

Just before I went away, I decided to take the plunge into the Stampin' Up world and signed up to become an independent demonstrator!  

"What does this mean" I hear you say? 

Well, as a Stampin' Up independent demonstrator, I get to love what I do and share what I love!  It means I get to continue to create cards and projects, now using the fabulous Stampin' Up products and share them all with you! If my creations provide inspiration or you like what you see and want to have a go at it yourself, then you will be able to contact me for a current catalogue or purchase the supplies from my ONLINE SHOP at Jenfielou.stampinup.net. 

As a new demonstrator you receive a pack of current catalogues and seasonal catalogues, order forms, and invitations, and a wide range of business support resources. However, YOU get to choose what exciting Stampin' Up products make up the rest of your kit.

Let me run through all the goodies I chose for my starter kit.  

First up is the In Color 2016-2018 ink pad collection and matching A4 cardstock.  As these products all coordinate so well together and will continue to be available in the upcoming new catalogue (out 1st June 2017) I thought having as up to date colours as I could would be a good place to start.  Just look how good they look together!! 

To go with my ink, and cardstock, what every Stampin' Up demonstrator needs...some stamps! I chose the Balloon Celebration photopolymer set, and coordinating Balloon Bouquet punch. 

I also chose the Cookie Cutter Christmas photopolymer set, again with coordinating Cookie Cutter Builder Punch.  (It's never too early for Christmas goodies!)

And finally the Brushwork Alphabet photopolymer set, as I'm always on the look out for gorgeous Alphabet lettering to personalise cards (new baby cards in particular) with! 

So that's my kit, once I've had a play with it all, I'll share my thoughts and findings and hopefully a tutorial on how to use the two step Stampin technique which you can see in the Balloon Celebration image below, this is new to me so I am really excited to give it a go! 

All of these products are available in the current catalogue and online, check out my website at Jenfielou.stampinup.net where you can find ideas, my shop, current catalogues, and a list of retiring products - the new catalogue is coming soon so get your favourite retiring sets before 31 May!  Please get in touch if you have any questions or want to know if your favourites are still available!

In the future, I also hope to be able to hold mini workshop/crafting parties, but details such as where and how are yet to be worked out.  However, if it is something you might be interested in and you're in the Chesterfield, Derbyshire area, please do get in touch - you can leave me a comment on my blog or click on the weblink above and there is a contact me form on my site!

Looking forward to sharing the Stampin' Up fun! 

Jenfie
