It’s always a great time to join the Stampin’ Up! family, because the value of the Starter Kit far exceeds the $99 price tag! During Sale-A-Bration (through September 30), the deal is even sweeter! I would not be doing my job if I didn’t help you maximize your value and savings!
I’m also a numbers nerd, so let me share some “Starter Kit math” with you…
NOTE: For illustration purposes, we’ll use 7.75% for sales tax (thanks, Georgia!)
For only $99, you’ll receive up to $206.25 in product in your Starter Kit which includes:
- Up to $125.00 in product of your choice
- A FREE bundle of your choice (from a list of 12) valued up to $60.25
- A past Paper Pumpkin kit valued at $21.00 (prepaid Paper Pumpkin Kit price)
STARTER KIT: With taxes (FREE shipping), you’ll pay $106.67.
If you were to place a customer order for the same items, here’s the math:
- $185.25 in product of your choice
- You’d earn $18.53 in Stampin’ Rewards, which you can apply towards the $21.00 prepaid Paper Pumpkin Kit and pay only the $2.47 overage
CUSTOMER ORDER: With shipping & taxes, you’ll pay $222.50.
TL;DR… The Starter Kit is a 48% discount! While that alone is an amazing reason to purchase a custom Starter Kit, there are so many other benefits that come with it. Here are my Top 10 reasons why it’s the best decision ever!
- Ultimate Bundle – Customize your Starter Kit any way you like and receive up to $206.25 in product for only $99.00 – a 48% discount!
- Discount/Income – You’ll receive a 20-25% discount/income on orders (most popular reason!)
- Test Drive – You get to test-drive the demonstrator benefits through the next full quarter plus an additional “pending” month. So, if you sign up today, you can enjoy the demonstrator benefits through January 31, 2022 without doing another thing! If you meet the quarterly minimum, you’ll continue to remain active for another quarter and so on.
- Zero Obligation – There is no obligation to stay active and no penalty to drop. If you don’t meet the quarterly minimum of $300 in purchases or sales by January 31, 2022, you simply become inactive. You are always welcome to join again!
- No Selling Required – You don’t need to teach classes, host workshops, create videos, or anything like that. The majority of demonstrators are happy shoppers enjoying the discount and building their craft stash! It’s the reason I joined in 2010!
- Color & Product Coordination – Stampin’ Up!’s colors are second-to-none and all of their products coordinate. You can be confident our stamps, ink, paper, tools, and embellishments will work together. It takes the guesswork out of your creativity!
- One-Stop Shop – Stampin’ Up! catalogs offer everything you need to create (well, except for chocolate!) and your orders are delivered right to your doorstep!
- See It First – You get to see catalogs first and pre-order products before they become available to everyone else!
- Community – The Stampin’ Up! community is an amazing source of inspiration, friendship and encouragement! We are a community of people who make a difference in the world one handmade card or project at a time!
- Choose Your Own Adventure – Whether you want to become part of an amazing community, the potential to earn income doing what you love, to make a difference or all of the above, you get to choose your own adventure!
And what an incredible adventure it’s been since 2010 for me! If you’re ready to join me on this adventure, click the button below to start building your custom Starter Kit!

Do you have to file Federal income tax if you are a hobbyist demonstrator and don’t place orders for customers?
Hi Brenda! I’m so sorry, but I’m not able to give tax advice. I recommend you contact Stampin’ Up! (800-782-6787) as well as consult with a tax professional. The IRS website has helpful information about hobby activities as well.
