Why I Love Stampin’ Up! ๐Ÿ’— It’s About So Much More Than Stamps, Ink & Paper!

๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ’— WHY I LOVE STAMPIN’ UP! — IT’S ABOUT SO MUCH MORE THAN STAMPS! ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ‚

Have you ever wondered why someone would become a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator? Is it just about getting a discount on stamps, ink, and paper? Or is there something more?

For me, the answer is easy. It's SO much more! ๐Ÿฅฐ

I recently hopped on a Facebook Live to share what I love about being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, and I wanted to share those thoughts here, too.

Of course, I love the products! Give me beautiful Designer Series Paper, coordinating stamps and dies, pretty embellishments, and a new crafting technique to try, and I'm a happy girl! ๐Ÿ˜‚ But the products are only one piece of the puzzle.

Watch the Fun Video . . . 

Want to see the process in action?

Check out my YouTube video for a walkthrough of this project.

๐Ÿ’• The Discount

Let's start with one of the reasons many of us first become interested in the demonstrator opportunity: saving money on the supplies we already love!

Demonstrators receive a starting discount on qualifying product purchases, with opportunities to earn a higher discount as their sales grow. If you enjoy stamping, cardmaking, or scrapbooking and regularly purchase supplies, this can be an appealing benefit.

And here's something important: you don't have to build a big business to enjoy being a demonstrator. You can choose to focus on your own crafting, while keeping the requirements for maintaining active demonstrator status in mind.

๐ŸŽ Stampin’ Rewards

Who doesn't love getting a little something back? ๐Ÿ’—

Stampin’ Rewards provide another way to get more from qualifying purchases. Demonstrators can earn 10% back in Stampin’ Rewards on qualifying orders, giving them another opportunity to put rewards toward products they love.

๐Ÿ‘€ Early Access to New Products

One of my favorite things is getting to see what's coming! New catalogs, exciting releases, and fresh creative possibilities keep the inspiration flowing.

Having opportunities to explore new products before they're available to everyone else makes this creative journey even more exciting.

๐ŸŽจ Creative Inspiration & Learning

There is always something new to learn in the crafting world!

Whether it's discovering a different way to use a stamp set, trying a new coloring technique, learning how to make a fun fold card, or finding inspiration for a scrapbook layout, there are so many opportunities to keep growing creatively.

And the best part? We get to share what we learn with one another!

๐Ÿ‘ญ The Community & Friendships

This is where the opportunity becomes so much more than products.

Over the years, I've met so many wonderful people through crafting. I've built friendships, connected with other creative minds, shared ideas, celebrated accomplishments, and found a community of people who understand why we get excited about a new paper collection. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’—

Having people who encourage you, cheer you on, and inspire you makes this journey incredibly special.

๐ŸŽ‰ The Opportunities

When I started, I never imagined all the different directions my creative journey would take!

Today, my experience includes teaching classes, hosting retreats, participating in expos, creating online content, and earning incentive trips. There are opportunities to explore different parts of the business depending on your interests and goals.

Some demonstrators enjoy sharing their creativity with customers. Others teach classes or host events. Some choose to develop a larger business and build a team.

There isn't just one way to be a demonstrator.

And you don't have to do everything I do!

๐Ÿ’— My Creative Journey: 2009–2026

When I joined Close To My Heart in January 2009, I was simply a scrapbooker who loved the products and wanted to enjoy the discount.

I had no idea what was ahead of me!

Over the years, I expanded into classes, retreats, expos, and so many other creative experiences. I've earned 16 incentive trips in 17½ years, and I've met people who have become an important part of my life.

When Close To My Heart closed in 2024, I moved to Stampin’ Up! and continued my journey with a new company and new possibilities.

Then, in October 2026, I reached PLATINUM! ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’—

That achievement means so much to me, and I'm incredibly grateful to my customers and my From the Heart Embellishers team for being part of the journey.

And yes, I continue to work my regular job, too!

But here's the thing: your journey doesn't have to look like mine. Mine has evolved over time, and yours can look completely different.

Maybe you want to save money on your own crafting supplies. Maybe you want to share projects online, teach a few classes, or earn additional income. Or perhaps you have bigger business goals you'd like to explore.

You get to decide what makes sense for you.

๐Ÿ‚ October's Special Joining Opportunity

October is the start of Stampin’ Up!'s new year, and it's typically when we see one of the best joining offers of the year.

Through October 31, 2026, the special offer includes:

  • $100 Starter Kit: Receive a $125 product coupon to choose the Stampin’ Up! products you want.

  • An extra $50 in Stampin’ Rewards: Available immediately after joining and valid for three months.

  • A Welcome Box valued at $60: For eligible first-time demonstrators.

That's potentially $235 in combined product value, rewards, and Welcome Box value for $100! ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ’—

Yes, we're absolutely doing some Crafty Girl Math here!

The additional Stampin’ Rewards are shopping rewards, not cash, and the Welcome Box is subject to eligibility.

And remember, you don't have to sell products to customers or build a team just because you join. You can explore the opportunity in a way that fits your interests, while understanding the requirements for maintaining active demonstrator status.

๐Ÿ’— You're Welcome Here!

I'm sharing this opportunity because I genuinely love what this creative journey has brought into my life. I want others to know it's available, too.

That doesn't mean everyone needs to become a demonstrator. If you're perfectly happy being my customer, I am just as grateful to have you here!

But if you've ever wondered what it might be like on this side of the craft table, I'd be happy to answer your questions.

Interested in learning more or ready to join?

๐Ÿ‘‰ JOIN HERE!!

The special October offer ends October 31, 2026, so be sure to explore the details before the promotion ends.

No pressure. No expectations. Just possibilities, creativity, and a community that loves to create, share, and inspire. ๐Ÿ’—

Frightfully Fun Times! ๐ŸŽƒ 5 Halloween Scrapbook Layouts with Stampin' Up!


Who says Halloween has to be scary? ๐Ÿ‘ป Sometimes the cutest little ghosts, playful black cats, and bright orange scrapbook pages are all you need to capture the magic of the season.

Welcome to another edition of I Made This Myself Monday! Today I'm excited to share a collection of FIVE completed double-page Halloween scrapbook layouts featuring the Frightfully Fun Times Scrapbooking Workshop Kit from Stampin' Up!

Halloween is one of those holidays that gives us so many wonderful memories to preserve. From picking out costumes and visiting pumpkin patches to trick-or-treating and celebrating with family, there are endless opportunities to fill a scrapbook with moments worth remembering. ๐Ÿ“ธ

And these pages? They're just begging for some adorable Halloween pictures.

๐ŸŽƒ Meet the Frightfully Fun Times Scrapbooking Workshop Kit

Item #168203

The Frightfully Fun Times Scrapbooking Workshop Kit is the perfect combination of cute, spooky, and creative.

This Stampin' Up! kit is designed to create THREE double-page scrapbook layouts, but for my I Made This Myself Monday showcase, I'm sharing FIVE completed double-page layouts.

That's a total of TEN 12" x 12" scrapbook pages filled with Halloween inspiration. ๐Ÿงก

One of my favorite things about this kit is how playful the designs are. The ghosts are more adorable than frightening, the bats add just the right amount of Halloween personality, and the traditional Halloween colors make everything pop.

The coordinating colors include:

  • ๐Ÿ–ค Basic Black

  • ๐Ÿ Cajun Craze

  • ๐ŸŽƒ Pumpkin Pie

  • ๐Ÿงก Timid Tiger

  • ๐Ÿค Very Vanilla

  • ๐Ÿค White Willow

Together, these colors create a cheerful Halloween palette that's perfect for everything from little trick-or-treaters to grown-up Halloween celebrations.



✂️ What's Included in the Workshop Kit?

The Frightfully Fun Times Scrapbooking Workshop Kit includes:

  • 10 sheets of Designer Series Paper

  • 7 sheets of cardstock

  • 3 sheets of printed stickers and precut images

  • Step-by-step instructions

  • Photo placeholders

  • Cutting guides printed on the backs of applicable sheets

One of the clever features of Stampin' Up!'s Scrapbooking Workshop Kits is the cutting guides printed on the back of each 12x12 paper.

These guides make it easier to cut your paper accurately and confidently, which is especially helpful if you're new to scrapbooking or simply want to spend less time measuring and more time creating. ๐Ÿ’•

The kit is designed for three double-page spreads, with each individual page measuring 12" x 12".

๐Ÿ‘ป The Cutest Little Finishing Touches

Adhesive-Backed Bats, Ghosts & Dots — Item #168180

Can we take a moment to appreciate just how ADORABLE these embellishments are?!

I love adding little finishing touches to my scrapbook layouts, and these Halloween embellishments are perfect for giving projects a little extra personality.

Each package includes 150 adhesive-backed pieces:

  • 25 adorable ghosts ๐Ÿ‘ป

  • 25 playful bats ๐Ÿฆ‡

  • 50 white dots

  • 50 black dots

Because they're adhesive-backed, they're easy to add to your projects without needing extra glue.

And they're not just for scrapbooking. These would also be darling on Halloween cards, treat packaging, gift tags, and other seasonal paper crafts.

๐ŸŽฅ Watch I Made This Myself Monday

๐Ÿงก Five Double-Page Layouts, So Many Memories.

What I love most about scrapbooking is that you can start with a coordinated collection of supplies and create something that feels completely your own.

The Frightfully Fun Times Workshop Kit gives you a wonderful starting point with its coordinating papers, cardstock, stickers, and precut images.

For this week's showcase, I have FIVE completed double-page layouts to share, and I love seeing how all the different patterns and Halloween elements work together.

Some designs feature playful ghosts and spiderwebs, while others use bold orange backgrounds, black accents, and fun Halloween details.

Whether you're documenting a baby's first Halloween, your family's favorite costumes, a Halloween party, or a fun night of trick-or-treating, there's plenty of inspiration to be found in these pages.

Be sure to check out the individual layout photos for a closer look at each design. ๐Ÿ“ธ

๐ŸŽƒ LAYOUT #1 — LET THE FRIGHTFULLY FUN BEGIN ๐Ÿ‘ป

We're kicking things off with Layout #1 from Stampin' Up!'s Frightfully Fun Times Scrapbooking Workshop Kit. ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ–ค

I love the combination of bright orange, black, and white, along with all the fun Halloween details. From the playful embellishments to the layered patterned papers, this double-page layout is perfect for capturing those spooky October memories.

And this is just the BEGINNING. Follow along as I show you how I stretch ONE workshop kit into even MORE scrapbook layouts. ✂️๐Ÿ’•





๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿ•ธ️ LAYOUT #2 — FRIGHTFULLY FUN & PURR-FECTLY SPOOKY ๐ŸŽƒ

Layout #2 from Stampin' Up!'s Frightfully Fun Times Scrapbooking Workshop Kit is all about those adorable Halloween kitties. ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ–ค

I love the bold orange and black combination, the playful spiderweb, and all those cute little cats dressed up for Halloween. The diagonal paper design adds such a fun twist, while the layered embellishments give this double-page layout plenty of personality.

It's the PURR-FECT way to capture your favorite Halloween memories. ๐Ÿˆ‍⬛๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ’•







๐Ÿฆ‡๐ŸŽƒ LAYOUT #3 — A FRIGHTFULLY FUN HALLOWEEN NIGHT ๐Ÿ‘ป

Layout #3 from Stampin' Up!'s Frightfully Fun Times Scrapbooking Workshop Kit brings all the spooky Halloween vibes. ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ–ค

I absolutely LOVE the dramatic black tree, spooky bats, and moon against that gorgeous orange background. The picket fence, tombstone, and fun "Fright Night" embellishment add the perfect finishing touches to this double-page layout.

It's a SPOOKTACULAR way to preserve all those Halloween memories. And guess what?! We're not done creating with this kit just yet. ✂️๐Ÿ’•






๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿงก BONUS LAYOUT #4 — HAPPY PAWS ๐Ÿพ

Who says Halloween scrapbook paper has to be used ONLY for Halloween?! ๐ŸŽƒ

For Bonus Layout #4, I challenged myself to use the leftover supplies from Stampin' Up!'s Frightfully Fun Times Scrapbooking Workshop Kit to create something completely DIFFERENT.

And what better way than to scrapbook my adorable kitties, Leo and Lola?! ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿ’•

I LOVE how the playful cat-patterned paper, bright orange cardstock, and cute kitty embellishments came together for this double-page layout.

It's proof that a little creativity can turn Halloween supplies into something PURR-FECT for everyday memories. ✂️๐Ÿ’•





๐Ÿ•ธ️๐Ÿ‘ป BONUS LAYOUT #5 — BOO! ONE LAST SPOOKTACULAR SURPRISE ๐ŸŽƒ

We're wrapping things up with Bonus Layout #5, and what a FRIGHTFULLY FUN way to finish. ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ–ค

Using leftover supplies from Stampin' Up!'s Frightfully Fun Times Scrapbooking Workshop Kit, I created one more Halloween double-page layout featuring playful bats, spooky spiderwebs, bold black-and-white patterns, and pops of orange. ๐Ÿฆ‡✨

I LOVE how all those leftover pieces came together to create something completely new.

And there you have it . . . THREE original double-page layouts PLUS TWO BONUS layouts. That's TEN 12" x 12" scrapbook pages from ONE workshop kit, with a little extra cardstock and creativity. ✂️๐Ÿ’•

Stay tuned for my BONUS LAYOUT GUIDE, coming soon. ๐ŸŽ‰

๐ŸŽƒ A Little Creativity Goes a Long Way. ๐Ÿงก

And there you have it, crafty friends . . . FIVE double-page scrapbook layouts from ONE Frightfully Fun Times Scrapbooking Workshop Kit. ๐Ÿ‘ป✂️ What started as a kit designed to create three double-page layouts turned into TEN beautiful 12" x 12" scrapbook pages with a little extra cardstock, some leftover supplies, and a whole lot of creativity. I especially love that I was able to step outside the Halloween theme and create a layout featuring my adorable kitties, Leo and Lola. ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿ’• It's a wonderful reminder that you don't always have to follow the original design or use themed paper for its intended occasion. Sometimes the BEST creations happen when you look at your supplies a little differently.

๐Ÿ’• And the crafty fun isn't over yet. I'm putting the finishing touches on my BONUS LAYOUT GUIDE, which will include instructions for recreating BOTH of my additional double-page layouts! Stay tuned for details on how to get your copy. ๐ŸŽ‰

I hope this week's I Made This Myself Monday inspires you to pull out your scrapbook supplies, use those leftover pieces, and create something special with the memories you've been meaning to preserve. ๐Ÿ“ธ If you enjoyed seeing all five layouts, I'd love for you to visit my Keeley's Kreations YouTube channel, give the video a thumbs-up ๐Ÿ‘, leave me a comment, and SUBSCRIBE for more Stampin' Up! scrapbooking and cardmaking inspiration. Every little bit of support helps my channel grow, and I truly appreciate you being part of my crafty community.

Until next time, keep creating, keep sharing, and remember . . . sometimes those leftover scraps hold the BEST creative possibilities. ๐Ÿงก

These are also the kits that we use at my Girls Night Out (GNO) Events held twice a month at the Hyatt Place in Verona, WI. Come Join Us.
