Stampin’ Up! is a direct-selling company that offers rubber stamps and paper crafting products through a network of independent contractors called demonstrators.

OUR HISTORY

Shelli Gardner grew up in Kanab, Utah, where she married and started a family. Shortly after beginning their family, Shelli and her husband moved to Nevada, where Shelli’s husband and brother-in-law began a home construction business. During this time, Shelli and her sister discovered rubber stamping and were instantly intrigued by the hobby. As young mothers, they searched for a direct-sales company that would allow them to sell product related to the hobby they loved for a little extra income. Unable to find the right mix, Shelli decided to build her own company. She imagined creating a company that would offer a wide variety of stamp styles, high-quality accessories, ongoing commitment to customer service, and sharing the art of rubber stamping with family and friends through home workshops. Shelli envisioned that this company would work much like a family, where each independent consultant—or ‘demonstrator’—could sell products at whatever level worked best for her.

In 1988, Shelli invested her family’s savings to begin Stampin’ Up! During the first year, orders were filled from her living room. Stampin’ Up! offered rubber stamps designed by other companies initially, but soon the company began custom designing, manufacturing, and selling its own exclusive designs of rubber stamp sets and accessories. Today, Stampin’ Up! fills orders from its 28,000 square-metre home office located in Riverton, Utah. Stampin’ Up! also maintains a 3,700 square-metre manufacturing facility in Kanab, Utah.

Stampin' Up! products are not sold in stores, but can be purchased at home workshops or through a network of independent sales consultants called Stampin’ Up! demonstrators.

Every year, Stampin’ Up! publishes its Idea Book & Catalogue, where customers and demonstrators can browse through Stampin' Up!'s line of exclusive decorative stamp sets and accessories. These accessories — including papers, stamp pads, and markers — are offered in 48 colours, divided into four colour families (another measure taken by Stampin' Up! to make project coordination simpler) and which takes the guess work out of making beautiful cards and scrapbook pages. Many stamp sets also complement other stamp sets—a concept that offers convenience, coordination, value and versatility to customers and demonstrators. Stampin’ Up!’s fresh designs, superb quality, and unique packaging (based on combining stamps in sets of coordinated images) make Stampin’ Up! a leader in the hobby and craft industry.

Currently, more than 40,000 demonstrators throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Europe teach the art of stamping and share their enthusiasm for stamping, scrapbooking and card making.

In the last 20 years, Stampin’ Up! has become one of the top companies in the paper-crafting industry, developing a reputation for quality products, innovative techniques, and unparalleled support for its demonstrators.
