Highdesert Stamper – Artistic Inkspirations

Aren’t all these bags cute??

All these neat bags and boxes were made by some of your local demos, wherever you may live.. Did you know if you contacted someone locally, you could attend a class and learn how to make them?  I’m saying this, to bring to every customer’s attention, that you can help support your LOCAL demo and keep them in business in this poorer economic time.  When you go out to the corporate Stampin’ UP! website and place an order, NOT through a demo, but just off the website… there are several things that happen.

First: You pay a higher price for products

Second: The commission paid out from your sale goes into a big “pool” that is divided up among all the SU demos who have online ordering websites.

That amount, comes to about 8 cents per demo each month. Not much is it… nope.. not enough even for a postage stamp.

IF you were to find a local demo ( you can search the main SU website and “FIND A DEMO NEAR YOU”), or you could “google” local demos, or even ask around. If you are a stamper, your friends probably know of a good demo.  Once you find a local demo… go to her classes and workshops. See if you like what she/he teaches!! If you don’t like the class or workshop… look around for another demo!!  Then once you find one.. find out if she has an online ordering website. If she does… use that to place your orders (or through a class or workshop she is holding).  If she doesn’t have an online ordering website, you can call her to place an order!! You’ll get a better price on products than ordering through the main website, and you may even get in on some specials she has for her classes and groups. I offer some specials to my customers. And I know a lot of other demos do also.

So go out and look for a LOCAL demo and support her!! We love to teach and we love stamping… so help us keep doing that and bringing you great ideas and classes!!

If you are in the Albuquerque , New Mexico area and looking for classes… I AM HERE!! You can contact me for classes. I do specialty classes (books, portfolios, seasonal cards, etc), and a regular monthly Sunday Stampers class.

But please.. go find a local demo and support her!! Help us keep doing what we love and love to teach!!
