Help......I have had many people after seeing my cards tell me I should start to become a demonstrator. How many stamping items would you recommend before starting this?? I have only been stamping since February of this year but LOVE doing it. I enjoy trying all new techniques but an limited to papers and ink right now. I have mixed colours from all of the colour families. I have:
Blender Pens, Pastels, Brads, Eyelets, Embossing powders, Pearl Ex, Dazzling Diamonds, Brayer, Roller, etc......Suggestions from any demonstrators?

I say definitley go for it! I just signed last month to be a demo and I mainly signed as a hobby demo to get the discount but I'm already finding customers. I'm having a ball and my stock is definitley limited right now. I just place small orders every month and I'm building it up slowly but surely!
Good luck! If nothing else you'll get the great starter kit! I absolutley love mine. LOTS of information in it!
Woo!!! You're already well ahead of where I was when I started. I had NEVER stamped, went to an event that had a SU Demonstrator doing her demos, and as I like to say, "I went, I stamped, I signed!" I actually signed the next day, but still... It's been almost 2 years and I am having the best time. Don't forget, you really get everything you need to start in your starter kit. Anything else you already have is really a bonus. Good luck!
You are WAY ahead of me! I attended my first SU party at the end of June and I signed up to be a demo the end of August. I should be getting my kit tomorrow! I am hosting my first Open House on Saturday. Go for it!!!!
The starter kit you purchase when you sign up has the essentials in it, including a couple of assortment packs of paper, 5 ink pads, 5 (FIVE!) stamp sets, plus a ton of other stuff. It also has all the business supplies you'll need. Since you've been collecting tools this year, you'd certainly have more than enough to get off to a great start.
SU! has a great starter package. I loved the fact that I could change the package ( not all but alot) seeing as I already had alot of the stuff. I was so excited when I signed up I also got another free set of my choice and didn't matter how much it was.
Once you have your kit and it sounds like you already have alot you'll be on your way.
Congradulations & Welcome to the SU! family( I know a little early !!!)
