Hi, I’m Diane Gardner!
I’ve been a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator for 15 years now — and I still remember the very first card class I ever attended. It makes me smile every time I think about it! I was so proud of that first card and couldn’t believe I had actually made it myself.
What really drew me in was Stampin’ Up!’s beautiful color coordination. I loved knowing that when I ordered Daffodil Delight, everything — the ink, cardstock, ribbon, embellishments, and patterned paper — would all match perfectly. That kind of consistency made my heart happy! No more wandering store aisles trying to match shades that almost went together. I was hooked right away.
For a few years, I was just a happy customer. Then my demonstrator suggested I get the Starter Kit to save on my orders. I laughed and said I wasn’t interested in teaching — I just wanted the discount! But before long, a few of my neighbors asked me to show them how to make cards… and, well, here I am, 15 years later, still sharing what I love.
Over the years, Stampin’ Up! has given me so much more than stamps and paper. It’s brought wonderful friendships, creative inspiration, and the pure joy that comes from making something by hand and sharing it from the heart.
If you’ve ever wanted to try stamping — or just need a little creative “me time” — I’d love to help you get started.
Happy Stamping!
