Stampin' Up Club

Hello all - a dangerous thing has happened here at work, a co-worker has started selling stamin' Up!! And I, being less than rich, am tempted to join her stampin' up club.

For those who aren't familiar with it (not that I am very familiar with it) You commit to $30 of purchases every 2 months. and to host one gathering.....

Have any of you folks joined this, has it been worth it? was it easy to stick to the $30/mo, did you go under it or over it?

Any info would be appreciated....

Thanks!

My SU Rep has a club to. I love it. Its a 12 month commitment. You have to have a minimum order of $15 each month for 12 months. You pick your month that you want to be hostess. You don't have to host a party or workshop because you have enough orders between all the club members. I love it. Great way to get all the stamps and things you want without going broke all at once.

We have a group that does this every month. When it is our month to host the workshop (bring the refreshments and mail out the reminder cards) we can in addition to the regulars invite anyone else to come. The month I was the hostess my total workshop order was over $800. I always send in an order each month even if I can't make the workshop itself. I think our minimum is $15, but I usually try to keep it at around $20. We did the group buy to get the marker set and crayons. It's been great for us. Sandy

Oh yes, that is a dangerous thing Jessica. LOL I joined my upline's "stamp camp" before I was a demonstrator. It's basically what you're talking about. You committed to 12 months of camp, $25 a month, and hosted one month.

Was it worth it? YES! I learned more techniques going to a monthly workshop than I would have just hosting one every once in a while. (Plus, I didn't have a demonstrator before then.) My upline would show us 3 - 4 projects and we would get to make every project. DH knew that whenever I went to stamp camp, to not expect me home in 2 hours. We did quite a bit of visiting while we stamped!

Was it easy to stick with the monthly amount? Oh yes. LOL DH was very supportive in my addiction. We just simply budgeted that $25 in every month. There were a couple months where I could only do the $25, but most months I went over. Once the addiction starts, it's hard to stick to that $25 though. LOL

One thing I can suggest to think about, are you going to use the products you order? I had a gal who was going to my stamp camp, who never actually used the stamps she ordered. Her and her hubby are now divorced, and hubby brought all her Stampin' Up! stuff to church because she never picked it up. Her stamps were still unmounted. So my advice, think about the products and if you'll use them. If you're not going to use them, then don't do it. I'm all for supporting your co-worker, but there's no sense in spending money on something you won't use.

Thank you all for the information, and Deb for the advice.

I did go ahead and commit. I've been wanting to get into more card making (I always make my xmas cards, but I really want to make other cards now), and more stamping, and I love the idea of supporting a Hutch person (I work at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center).

And - I've been selling Avon, and I was thinking I could give some catalogs tot he stampin' up people too (that's the beauty of Avon, no pushy selling-people love catalogs!)

So - I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again for the info!!!
