Thinking About Joining Stampin’ Up!? Here’s What It Looks Like in 2026

Have you ever wondered what it really means to become a Stampin’ Up!® demonstrator?

For some people, it means building a business.

For others, it simply means getting a better deal on the products they already love.

And for many of us, it falls somewhere in between!

I originally joined Stampin’ Up! because I loved the products and wanted to enjoy the benefits of being a demonstrator. Over the years, it grew into something much more for me — a creative outlet, a business, and a wonderful community of people who enjoy making things with and for others.

If you’ve ever been curious about joining, here’s what it looks like today.

The October 2026 Starter Kit Special

October is an especially good time to join!

During October 2026, you can choose $125 in Stampin’ Up! products for $100 and receive an additional $50 in Stampin’ Rewards.

One of my favorite things about the Starter Kit is that you choose the products you want. You are not getting a box filled with supplies someone else selected for you.

You can choose from current Stampin’ Up! products, Online Exclusives, and eligible demonstrator preorder products.

You Do NOT Have to Build a Business

This is probably one of the biggest misconceptions about joining Stampin’ Up!

You do not have to turn it into a business.

Some demonstrators join because they want the discount and rewards on products they already purchase. Others enjoy getting early access to new products. Some want to earn a little extra money, while others decide to build a larger business.

There is room for all of those goals.

Your Stampin’ Up! experience should fit your life — not the other way around.

What Are the Benefits of Being a Demonstrator?

There are quite a few!

As a new demonstrator, you begin with a 15% demonstrator discount/commission, with the opportunity to increase that to 20%.

You also earn 10% Stampin’ Rewards on qualifying demonstrator orders. Rewards start at $20 orders.

Monthly volume rebates are available as well. They begin at 5% when you reach 300 CSV in a month and can increase as your monthly personal sales grow.

Other demonstrator benefits include early access to many new products, demonstrator-only preorder opportunities, Stampin’ Up! training and resources, creative communities, recognition opportunities, milestone rewards, bonuses, and the opportunity to earn Incentive Trip points.

One thing I really like about the current plan is that you don’t have to build a large team to receive meaningful benefits. There are opportunities whether you simply love the products, want to sell occasionally, or want to build a business.

What About the Quarterly Minimum?

To remain an active demonstrator, you need 300 CSV in personal retail sales each quarter.

Those sales can come from your own purchases, customer orders, or a combination of both.

New demonstrators also have some breathing room when they first join. There is no minimum during the signup quarter, and sales during that time apply toward the first full quarter.

If you already purchase Stampin’ Up! products regularly, the quarterly requirement may be easier to reach than you think.

What Happens If I Decide It Isn’t for Me?

That’s okay!

There is no long-term commitment requiring you to remain a demonstrator forever.

If Stampin’ Up! stops being a good fit for you or you no longer meet the sales requirement, your demonstratorship can simply end and you can return to being my customer.

I never want someone to feel like joining means signing up for something they can’t get out of later.

Can I Make Money With Stampin’ Up!?

Absolutely — if that is one of your goals.

Demonstrators can earn commission on customer orders and may earn additional monthly volume rebates based on personal sales.

If you decide to build a team, there are additional earning opportunities there as well.

You can keep things small, grow slowly, or build something much bigger.

There is no single “right” way to be a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator.

What Is Craftin’ Country Club?

If you join Stampin’ Up! through me, you become part of our team — The Craftin’ Country Club.

My team includes both hobby demonstrators and people who enjoy sharing Stampin’ Up! with others.

I’m happy to help with whatever your goals happen to be. Maybe you want to learn new techniques, get your favorite crafting supplies at a better price, earn a little extra money, build a business — or someday rule the crafting world. 😉

Whatever your goal is, I’m here to help.

And just as importantly, I don’t believe being part of a team should feel like pressure.

You do not have to sell.

You do not have to recruit.

You do not have to do Facebook Lives.

You do not have to run your Stampin’ Up! experience the way I run mine.

You get to decide what works for you.

Is Joining Stampin’ Up! Right for You?

It might be worth considering if you already purchase Stampin’ Up! products regularly, enjoy seeing new products early, would like a discount and rewards on your crafting supplies, enjoy being part of a creative community, are curious about earning extra income, or think you may someday want to build a crafting business.

And if you’re not sure?

That’s perfectly okay too.

I’m always happy to answer questions honestly and help you decide whether purchasing the Starter Kit makes sense for you.
