Can I Join Stampin' Up! Just for the Discount?
Absolutely!
One of the questions I'm asked most often is, "Can I join Stampin' Up! just for the discount?" The answer is yes.
Many people think becoming a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator means they have to sell products, hold workshops or run a business. The truth is, many of my team members joined simply because they love papercrafting and wanted to save money on the products they already enjoy using.
If you're a card maker, scrapbooker or paper crafter looking for great value, becoming a hobby demonstrator could be one of the best decisions you make.
Who is a Hobby Demonstrator?
A hobby demonstrator is someone who joins Stampin' Up! primarily for the personal benefits rather than to build a business. They enjoy creating handmade cards, scrapbook layouts, gift packaging and other papercrafting projects, and appreciate being able to purchase quality products at demonstrator pricing.
There is no requirement to sell products, hold classes or recruit others. You can simply enjoy your crafting while taking advantage of the benefits available to demonstrators.
I have hobby demonstrators in my Crazy Crafters team from all over Australia. Some craft every week, others only when they have time, but they all enjoy being part of a welcoming community of creative people.
I actually joined Stampin' Up! for exactly the same reason—to save money on the products I loved. If you'd like to read how my hobby unexpectedly grew into the business I have today, you can read my story here.
Benefits of Joining Stampin' Up!
Whether you simply love crafting or you're curious about where it might lead, becoming a demonstrator comes with some wonderful benefits.
- Choose your own Starter Kit. Select the products you want most and create a kit that's perfect for your style of crafting.
- Enjoy demonstrator discounts. Save on your future Stampin' Up! purchases while you're an active demonstrator.
- Early access to selected products. Demonstrators often have opportunities to see and order new products before they become available to customers.
- Exclusive demonstrator events. Take part in catalogue launches, creative events and training designed especially for demonstrators.
- No pressure to sell. If your goal is simply to enjoy your hobby, that's perfectly fine.
- Your Starter Kit is yours to keep. Even if you later decide not to remain a demonstrator, the products you've purchased are yours to enjoy.
If, somewhere down the track, you decide you'd like to earn some extra income doing something you love, I'll be here to support you every step of the way.

Why Join the Crazy Crafters Team?
Choosing who you join with is just as important as deciding to become a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. When you join my team, you're not just signing up for a discount—you're becoming part of a friendly, supportive community of paper crafters from all over Australia.
The Crazy Crafters is a virtual team, so it doesn't matter whether you live in a big city or a small country town. We stay connected online, sharing ideas, celebrating each other's creativity and encouraging one another along the way.
Some team members simply enjoy crafting at home. Others teach classes, attend markets or build successful businesses. Whatever your goals, you'll be welcomed exactly as you are.
What You'll Receive as a Crazy Crafter
- Monthly virtual team gatherings full of inspiration and creative ideas.

One of the things I love most about our team is the friendships that have formed over the years. Many members have never met in person, yet they've built genuine connections through our shared love of crafting.
Get Involved as Much (or as Little) as You Like
There is never any pressure to participate. Some of our members join every team event, while others simply enjoy receiving the demonstrator discount and crafting quietly at home.
If you'd like to become more involved, you're welcome to join our card swaps, creative challenges and the popular Crazy Crafters Blog Hop. These are fantastic opportunities to share your projects, gain inspiration and connect with fellow demonstrators from around Australia.
Thinking About Turning Your Hobby Into a Business?
Many people join simply for the discount and never intend to build a business - and that's perfectly okay.
However, if you ever decide you'd like to earn some extra income doing something you love, I'll be here to help. I've been sharing Stampin' Up! since 2009 and love mentoring others as they grow in confidence.
