For Your Country meets Gorgeous Grunge, World Map & Dictionary Stamp Sets

Today is my 400th Blog Post! 

What a Milestone? It was this time last year that I decided to change from doing a once monthly blog post, to a daily blog post. I knew it would be challenging, but I can happily say that I have risen to that challenge.

With the exception of when Christmas and my recent surgery, I have posted daily .... phew
As a result, I now have many new friends. Some of whom are also customers.

I hope that some of you will decide to join Team Warren my nationwide team of Demonstrators  because so many of you who follow my tutorials, are amazing crafters in your own right.

And why wouldn't you join me? Well, with Team Hangouts for tutorials, the chance to attend exclusive Stampin Up! Events, have access to Stampin Up!s online resources, Earn rewards, have your own website if you chose, and of course that fab discount on all your personal orders and commission on any sales you make  (but you are not obligated to do this).
AND you get me as your Upline (supervisor) :)

If you want to explore Joining Team Warren, just lick the JOIN icon below for more information


Now is a great time to Join Stampin Up! as we are only a month away from the launch of the new catalogue, and with the new changes coming in at Stampin Up! you will be starting on an even keel, whereas us more seasoned Demonstrators have to get their heads around the changes, so we will all be learning together! But the principals of Stampin Up! have remained the same. There are loads of resources aimed purely at new Demonstrators to help you on your way, and a career plan too. Joining is about your business your way.
If after watching the short video from Shelli Gardner (Stampin Up Founder) and read the info, you have any questions, email me via kim@stampinupatthewarren.com to arrange a time for me to give you a call.
