Hello friend,
I’m so excited that you have chosen to continue to discover your creative journey. I’ve loved connecting with you as you’ve discovered projects that spark your creativity. Whether we’ve created together through tutorials, classes, videos, or our online community, it’s been a joy watching your confidence grow.
As you’ve journeyed through these pages, you’ve explored whether becoming an independent Stampin’ Up!® demonstrator might be the right next step for you. You’ve discovered the many ways people enjoy being demonstrators, learned how this journey has impacted my life over the past twenty years, and even caught a glimpse of what it’s like to be part of the Stamptastic Creators.
Now it’s time to focus on your personal journey. This guide isn’t meant to convince you to become a demonstrator. Instead, it’s designed to help you pause, reflect, and discover what you truly want from your creative journey.
Sometimes we don’t know what we truly want until someone helps us see the possibilities. My hope is that these questions will help you discover where your own creative journey is leading. As we walk through the questions take your time to really think and imagine what it is you’re looking for and where your path should lead. Remember, there are no right or wrong answers. This isn’t a test—it’s simply an opportunity to listen to your heart and discover what matters most to you. You may choose to come back a month from now or even a year from now and discover your answers have changed and your creative journey is changing. I know that has happened to me. So, grab some paper and a pen and let’s get started. If you prefer a printed Creative Journey Guide, click here.
Looking Back
Why do you create…
- What inspired you to start creating?
- What do you get out of creating?

Looking Within

Dream Bigger
If nothing was holding you back…
- How would you spend your time?
- What would you like to learn?
- What would your day look like?
- Your week?
- Your month?
- How would your life change?

Ask yourself, “What Does Success Look Like to You?”
Success doesn’t have to mean building a business.
Maybe success means…
- making time for yourself
- creating every week
- making birthday cards instead of buying them
- preserving family memories
- encouraging others
- finding lifelong friends
Or maybe…
- you dream of teaching classes
- earning incentive trips
- building a business.
Every journey is different, what does yours look like.
Now let’s look back at your answers. Do you see a clear pattern? Do your answers align with wanting to continue to learn, continuing to create or do you find yourself earning to grow and become something more. This is a question only you can answer. If, as you’ve reflected on these questions, you’ve discovered that your heart is longing for something more, I’d love to visit with you.. No pressure, no expectations, just a conversation about where you are today and where you would like your creative journey to take you next?
Before You Continue…
Through Stampin’ Up!, I found something that helped me feel inspired, connected, creative, challenged to grow…and, most importantly, valued.
My hope is that, whether you continue learning through my Creative Community or decide to become part of Stamptastic Creators, you’ll discover that same sense of purpose and belonging in your own way.
Whatever you decide, I hope these questions have helped you see your own creativity—and your possibilities—a little more clearly.

So which one of the recommended methods is the best and easiest?
If you have access to the internet signing up on-line is definitely the fastest and best way. You’ll have immediate access to the Demonstrator website. Plus your starter kit will be shipped faster. It’s also nice because is steps you through customizing your kit if you want too. The other advantage is you just need my special code which is my first name in order to sign up. To sign up by mail you need an agreement that both of us sign. Let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks, Candice
