    Wow! You are the second Stampin Up demonstrator that I watched on KZread within this past week that quit Stampin up for the exact same reason. I think Stampin Up needs to re-evaluate their policy because honestly, the demonstrators are subcontractors and I am sure it is very difficult to support yourself or your family solely on promoting their products. I hope you have a happy and healthy new year. I wish you well.

    I was a demonstrator for stampin up for a while. Up until the holiday catalog came out and did not contain any Hanukkah stamps whatsoever. I contacted my upline and did exactly as she instructed me. Stampin UP chastised me for doing as I was told. Eventually I was told that Hanukkah stamps do not sell. I was shocked as I had been purchasing them even before I became a demonstrator. I then asked how this suddenly happened after twenty plus years. All I got was more chastising. When I needed help my upline was not terribly interested in me as I was not a big seller. When this all went down about five years ago I left Stampin UP and refuse to watch their videos nor purchase any products from them.

I worked w/stamps & paper when I worked@ Hobby Lobby. Most of the times the Hanukkah stamps were seasonal. This means that the buyers only bought so many for all the stores & then that was it. They were like .99 & maybe $1.49.They sold, I myself bought several. IMHO I think SU just didn't want to be bothered w/this or any subject that "might offend" their customers.

    KZread recommended your video to me, so I clicked to watch. Then liked & subscribed as I enjoyed your matter of factness, style, & personality. Love your craft room, glasses & top, btw. I wish you continued recovery & years of good health. Thanks for your explanation. I have been a hobby demonstrator but won't be continuing. Most SU products now just don't speak to me & they are frightfully expensive. Plus I think of the company owners & execs & how they must be making $$ hand over first with all the demonstrators worldwide. The is a lot of pressure on "underling" demonstrators to sell & to get more people under them or "on their team." I subscribe to & watch many SU demonstrators, and I feel like it is more a sales pitch in most cases than it is a "let me show you how to create a card." I watch many non-SU demonstrators & like not feeling pushed into buying the products they are using. There seems to be more joy in the card making process in the non-SU card makers videos. I hope you have that same joy & freedom of spirit as a non-SU demonstrator. I look forward to more of your videos. And, I hope you meet your subscriber & monetary goals very soon.

    Stampin Up is a MLM (Multi Level Marketing), otherwise known as a legal pyramid scheme. The "legal" comes in form of a product, not just a promise. The push is to get as many people under you as possible, to line the CEO and execs pockets with all the % of product sold. I do buy some SU, as I like some of their products, but I'd never be a demonstrator, as I can't just solely rely on SU. My tastes are way too varied to be fulfilled only by SU

    Hi LeAnne... it's not hard to understand why you made the choice to expand into other companies. I am a Stampin Up Demonstrator... mostly hobby, and I started making cards for exactly the same reason... to make people happy. What you send out comes back to you in so many ways. The exact opposite happened to me though.... I bought tons of stuff at Michaels, craft stores and online ... for years... much of my shopping was trying to find stuff that matched. It only took 3 Stampin Up classes for me to be totally sold. I had spent so much money on paper, etc ... So, I will stick with SU.... I have made so many friends and met so many wonderful people.... I don't depend on SU for income although is does help me stay active and still be able to buy what I want and what I need. I am so happy for you that you found all this help with your media. I am 78, so my extra time on this earth won't be on media, I can still teach and share and make cards to send out. You are definitely blessed to have found your calling. May God fill your heart to overflowing and keep you in good health.

    I just found your channel and video regarding quitting StampinUp. First i just liked and subscribed!! Second, I ADORE your glasses. Third, I can relate to needing to do things in your own time. I was diagnosed with MS in 2013 after a sudden paralysis episode from the waist down. I had been and continued to work full time, but didn't take enough time for recovery or therapy. The fatigue, weakness, medications etc just wear on you. I am a single mom with 3 kids and at the time they all depended on me, so I had no choice but to keep working. You do what you need to do to take care of your family. I have recovered about 80% mobility but still use a walker since my legs still aren't 100%. ANYWAY, I'm sorry to ramble but after falling and breaking my leg in late 2020, I thought seriously about my health, recovery, quality of life, etc and took the jump to retirement in September last year. A bit scary, tighter budget, but I'm taking care of me. I started making cards again as a hobby after putting it away for almost 2 decades. I still had SU produc from the late 90s. I was talked into being a demonstrator during the $75 promotion late last year. But after thoroughly reading all their corporate protocols I knew I'd never make it a business. I took advantage of the sign up offer and the recent salebration and I'll be out the door at the end of this month. I've seen at least 6 videos of people quitting in the last few months and all for similar good reasons. So congratulations on putting yourself first and doing what brings you joy. 👏 Best wishes on your recovery, good health and business.

    LeAnne - I just watched/listened to your KZread video about why you are giving up SU. I've been a demonstrator for about 11 months and also decided to give it up. I've had 1 customer and bought a ton of stuff. Needless to say, it's been more trouble and expense than it's worth. I don't like the "bundle focus" and the need to buy so many dies. At the same time, SU promotes the "KISS" method in card-making - just paper, stamp, and ink. This is contrary to its marketing strategy. I'm 75 and, like you, handicapped, though moderately so. I love your video, your glasses (!), and your inspiration. I hope your recovery is steady and calm. I'm excited to watch you!

    I am a stampin up personal use only demo. I fully agree. I like to pick things out and think about them for a few days. Look through the book again and notice other things I missed the first time. I want to be sure that I will be able to do several things with each set I buy. Then a new book comes out and you forget about the annual book. I was drawen in because the paper, ribbon, ink ect. all match. But lately they are starting to not match. For example the new ocean wave products list 3 colors the gems come in, but I clearly can see 6-7 different colors. Watching other KZread videos I have heard people say they are Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy, Pacific Point, Granny Apple Green, Costal Cabana, Bermuda Bay and Pool Party. I feel Stampin Up wants to cut out as many companies as possible so they keep more profit. But in the process they are lacking the quality control. Colors have become various shades of colors. Not just one specific color. And my most recent order had 14 different stamp set in it because it included many earned sale-a-bration stamp sets. I had to have 3 sets replaced because they had defects in the stamps. They are definitely going down hill rapidly.

    @@hollylowery5148 you have hit the nail on the head! I can not buy all these stamp sets and other items but they don't seem to care. I also can not promote these huge suites to my customers as these are so expensive. Most of my ladies are on limited incomes. I had 4 people sign up under me last fall and none have met their quotas. I reminded them about the quotas and each said they were going to let their demo ship lapse as it was too hard to continually make quota. I called SU for help. I was told that if a demo lapses, they can literally sign back up the next day/week/month and get a new starter kit as long as they sign under the same upline demo. So why would anyone try to be a long term demo? I am seriously thinking about letting mine drop after 6 years to sign up again and get to pick another $125 of products for $99. Thats what one of my ladies is planning to do every time the annual catalog comes out.It's sad but SU don't care for us small time demos who they relied on when Shelli first started the business. They have their eyes on those million $$ sellers which will never be me.Good luck, Leanne in all your ventures and stay healthy! Keep kicking cancers A*S!

    I've only just found you this evening (I'm in Victoria, Australia), and I am so happy that I did 💕. Like you, I'm on a disability pension (I've had MS for over 30 years now, and can no longer work at all), and I also joined Stampin Up to help pay for the supplies that I desperately need!! I have just started cardmaking again after over 20 years, and everything has changed!!! There were no die cutters or fancy electronic machines that almost make everything for you, stamps were on big wooden blocks, and I had never heard of distress oxides until recently!! I will be doing the same thing as you, but I can't see myself doing this format ( definitely not my idea of fun 🤣🤣) - hopefully I can find someone who will help me set up a daily blog 😉. So pleased that I found you 🥰🥰

    Good for you! I know you'll be happier & healthier. I thought about being one, but I know I will not adhere to the exclusivity. For instance, the XYRON sticker makers are a lot better in sticking cursive die cuts but some encourage you to use GLUE! NO!!! My Xyrons & my Tear & Tape do practically everything. I used to work in the Crafts section with the Stamps & paper(ordering & stocking). There are many more companies that make fun images for stamps. Their papers aren't bad either. Even though I buy SU, I get a lot of older SU stamp sets on eBay. Because of costs I now buy SOME lookalike SU stamp sets on Amazon. I refuse to pay $33-40 on a die set. Lastly, thx for thoroughly explaining the affiliate program. I didn't know it lasted 24 hrs...good to know. Thx for sharing, looking forward to keeping up w/yr journey😍

But they have gotten so expensive and like you said , so many other alternatives and styles that I enjoy better. I will for sure check out your other video’s. Thanks for the info on the Media company. I will for sure check it out. I am dealing with recovering from back surgery and it’s been hard to record video’s and make cards sitting for to long. I just started about 3 years ago and have a lot to learn. My video’s are not very good, but trying. I hope each day gets better for you. Hugs. Tfs

    I watched your video tonight because it was the first thing that popped up when I clicked KZread. Understand you are not alone when it comes to the narrative that you spoke of. There are a few more out there that feel the way you do. This is my second go at SU. I was in late 90's early 2000's and became disillusioned by all that was going on. It was early on in the use of computers, my upline was no help and soon I quit. I joined up again in mid 2018. I was and still am a hobbyist, because at the time I was caring for my mom with dementia. My upline met my SIL at a craft show and I told her that she was my SIL, but she chose to not send her to me as a customer. I blame them both. But, anyway. When SU decided to take away some of the rewards they gave to bronze elite and below, it became a company that only worried about their upper consultants. My up line lives about an hour and a half from me. I might hear from her a couple times a year. And this last year, gifts were sent out at Christmas, I didn't get one. But yet I order every month from SU and line her pockets. I'm close to quitting SU for some of the reason's you stated. I like ordering from other companies, because I'm bored by what SU has. I order from CTMH, CM, and a few others I like. Look this gal up on KZread and she has a why I'm leaving SU from about a month ago. Her site is MyInkieFingers. I love to watch her, she has tons of tips, tricks and such. Good luck with your endeavors, she may even be able to give you some pointers and so. Good luck, I'll be watching for your next post.

    I used to buy a lot of stampin up stuff in the beginning. I was so sick of everything being discontinued so quickly. Also their stuff is too expensive and they are usually late to the game with new products such as the stamping platform. Once in a blue moos they will have something I like and then I’ll purchase. I’d definitely hate to be a demonstrator. They need to rethink their whole policy.

    It is not often that I hit the subscribe button on the first video of a channel that I watch, and it’s is unheard of for me to hit it right in the middle of the program. I did both. Maybe I did it because I like to surround myself with honest and straight-forward people. Maybe because I enjoy learning from others, or maybe because I’ve been able to relate to you as a person with a similar life changing experience. Or, it could be a combination of all three and then some. I had breast cancer and took fourteen months of chemo and thirty-seven radiation treatments. It would even be fair to say, there was a high chance that I wouldn’t have made it. I fought like hell and I’ve won this battle, but at what expense? I have neuropathy in my hands and feet. I am in pain 24/7. It just ranges from minor to severe, and is usually in the middle to the higher spectrum of pain. I never know when I’m to have a good day either, so it’s really difficult to plan and there are times I have to cancel, which I really despise doing. Today, I go and see one of the oncologists. I dread this day and if I’m to be honest, it’s probably been a year. I don’t like them, and I don’t like the place. I personally feel they were a bit cavalier with my cancer. It is my opinion and more than likely why I haven’t been in a long while. I had been diagnosed in the last week of March/first week of April in 2018. It was surreal to say the least. Anyways, I survived, I just have a lot of medical issues since then. So, it might have been that my ears perked up when you had mentioned that you’re still going through a lot of medical like I am. I knew there had to be others, but I was just so sick of all of it that I never went looking. I beat it and that’s all that matters, right? I’m still standing, I may be leaning on something to hold me up, but I’m still standing and we both know how huge that is. Plus, I’m a storyteller too. I don’t think it’s well known in my circle of crafty friends or with the channels I watch and interact with that I had cancer. I just never wanted it to define me of who I am. I’m all strong and hear me roar kinda gal. I’m a new crafter. I didn’t start until I had been done with chemo and awhile after that. I still shake my head that I chose to fall for something that needs my hands when they can be in such pain at times. So I’m a very slow crafter, and it takes me a bit to just finish one card, but I love it. It’s gotten ahold of me pretty tight, and I have no plans of ever shaking it off. I love making things for people, and I always have. I was originally hesitant of writing this in a public space and I didn’t see an email address inn the description box below. Now that I think of it, you probably have a contact button on your webpage. It’s too late now, so I’m just going to go with it. Plus, my hands are really hurting and I don’t want to mess with it all. So anyways, I thought I would just give a shout out and say, I’m ever so happy you won too. You’re an amazing and ever so sweet of a Lady, and I’d like to join this ride with you. As long as you don’t mind me writing a story after one of your videos, we should be good. I will learn from one of our masters and you’ll get stuck with a story. Not an even trade exactly, but I’ll work on it. The craft part that is. Wishing one and all a wonderful and beautiful day, Be well and stay smiling, life is good 🎈

    I just stumbled upon your video with the explanation as to why you are leaving SU after only a short stint. GOOD FOR YOU! LOL My friends dragged me to a SU party back in the early 1990's (or maybe even before) and I got sort of hooked on stamping. I have not bought any SU products for years as their stamps are so boring and there is very little innovation in their product lines; and, I have progressed way beyond SU. I am loving hot foiling, alchohol inks on acetate, and any interactives for my grandkids, etc. I just wanted to say I admire your attitude and hope things will improve for you. I am retired and have a compromised immune system so I have been pretty much shut in since Covid reared its ugly head. I am going to subscribe to your channel for the stamping and the stories. I think it will be a hoot. Take care, will see you soon...Granny in Mpls, MN

    I love how honest you are, card making should be fun, not being pressured into pushing products. Stamping Up products are expensive, I like a lot of their stamps and dies, but refuse to purchase them because of the prices and delivery is 10 days or longer. I have watch other demonstrators and they are also forced into pushing products. I shop at local craft stores and amazon for my products.

    Your craft area is perfect for you!! As long as you know and can find everything you need. I totally understand what you are saying!! I do not like or use all of the Stamp in Up products. I am not going to promote something I do not use. I subscribed to your site. Praying for you as you continue with your recovery journey.

    Thank you so much for subscribing and for your kind words. I made a craft room video that'll be going up in the next few days. After filming I realize just how perfect my space is for me.

    I considered becoming a SU demonstrator but i cannot afford to spend the required amount and i do not have the connections to sell the requred amount! Since I am a newbie at stamping and card-making, I really don't know if this is a medium i will desire to continue with! (I tried to get into chalk painting last year but it was not for me!) Therefore, I don't want to lay out $$ for lots of supplies! Thanks for your honesty and I wish you continued recovery!

    Left Stampin Up as a disabled homebound. Not able to "bring in" others and love getting materials from everywhere. But when they required us to put Stampin Up on all my cards, that was it for me. Too many restrictions and can't afford their products. Thank you for sharing your life and cards. Transparency is important to most of us. :)

    Right?! This makes me feel like Stampin' Up would like to take credit for a card that we took the time to create!

    I just came across your channel tonight. Firstly, best wishes to you with your recovery. 🙂 Having several autoimmune illnesses, I fully understand financial disability income limitations. Trying to supplement that income is not an easy task, so I hope that you are successful through affiliate linking. I love that your craft room looks real. Like myself, others too might not have perfectly coordinated expensive white gleaming storage systems to house their supplies. Lastly, I subscribed to your channel in the hopes of trying to help you reach your 1k subscriber monetization goal. Best of luck. 😊

    I have decided to quit stampin' up for many of the same reasons. I do not do u-tube videos but I can't make money when they cancel so many things and then bring parts of them back in other sets that I then have to.purchase. Also having to invest in 5 new colors every year gets expensive. I am mostly a hobby stamper so I wasn't making enough to even support my habit. I feel encouraged for you that you have the opportunity to make an income.

    Yep, I have been a demonstrator for about 12 years, and I am SO BORED with their catalogs. It seems like they are geared toward a new stamper or something because their stamp sets all look alike year after year, many of their samples are basic and pitifully plain, and they are so behind in innovative new products. I buy from many other companies too, but am not on You Tube yet-mainly a hobbyist demonstrator. But I have been thinking of leaving for a couple years now because I can buy more interesting things from other companies and am tired of having to spend $1200 a year with Stampin’ Up! Good luck in your new adventure! I just happened upon you, and your caption grabbed me since I feel the same. I look forward to checking out your other videos!

    Thank you for being here. 12 years is a long time. It stinks that you're bored. Hopefully you can find things here that reignite the excitement of being creative.
