Welcome to the start of my new series, in which we will explore and create together, please remember if you wish to purchase products please use the demonstrator locator and search Andre Gordon. Please Use the Hostess Code which I will have in every post as you will get all the rewards, these are divided by everyone that places an order throughout the month (February code: 43FYU43T) and will be sent at the start of the following month with a thank you from me.

If you have an order worth more than $189NZD then please consider joining my team and save yourself at least 20%. Also note that I can only sell you products if you are in New Zealand.

Currently, we have a great offer by Stampin’ Up! Firstly, choose a whopping  $285NZD worth of products and you also get to choose Two free stamp sets, if you are like me, you will want the best deal possible so my suggestions would be either Letter for you $103 NZD, Christmas Pines, Home life, Happy celebrations, or Number of years as these range from $73 NZD to $53NZD.

But André don’t I have to sell or do what you do??

No, to be honest I am only a ‘hobby’ demonstrator and I do this for me to get the discount off my products. You could become a ‘business demo’ in which you hold parties, or film YouTube videos to help make some extra money. But at this stage in my lift I am personally not interested in this.

So how much do I have to spend to maintain my membership/demonstrate (in full disclosure)

Okay, yes we do have a minimum order that has to go through every quarter, this is worked out with what we call CSV, this is Stampin’ Ups! International currency and this is currently 300CSV or approx. $550.06 NZD and you can do this in little order or one big order.   

(All figures are correct at time of writing (10/2/18))

 

So, enough business talk your not here for that, or are you?

So, now onto my new series, my YouTube Channel is here please go and subscribe.

Techniques Tuesday- In which we will explore both new and old techniques and learn together

Casing Thursdays – In which we will pull out your old catalogues and use them to create new and exciting things and finally

Stamping Sundays- On Sundays we will relax a little with coffee or tea, and stamp away with our stamp set, both old and new

So I have decided to set myself some rules. No, you do not have to play these rules…

1. You can use any Stampin’ Up! Stamp set you own, both old and new
2. You must use the current ink colours nothing retired
3. You CAN NOT use the current or the previous catalogue in your casing Thursday’s
4. You are allowed to anything from your stock (I do own some Non-SU products)
5. You are allowed to use old catalogues, and other demonstrator’s work for inspiration
6. You must have a video – Click here to go to my YouTube Channel.

So please make sure you leave comments and interact, FYI please do note that I do not edit my videos as I am a believer that new crafters need to be able to follow along. If you wish to skip parts I understand.
