Not sure what to pick for the Starter Kit? Here’s three customized suggestions!

One of my greatest delights is mentoring the new stampers that decide to join the Stampin' Up team. It's so exciting! They usually have a LOT of questions, but I love answering them and reassuring them that it really IS as fun and simple as sharing what you love.

One of the first questions they always have, though, is what to get in the Starter Kit! Unlike many companies, Stampin' Up lets you CHOOSE it ALL–$125 worth for just $99 and no shipping. It's awesome if you already have a bunch of supplies–you don't get a bunch of duplicates–but some stampers can find it a little overwhelming if you're not sure what to pick.

I've put together my suggestions for a great Starter Kit order that would give you what you need in these three scenarios. Hopefully you'll gain a little food for thought, both about what YOU might pick out, and also about the amazing deal that the Starter Kit really is. ENJOY!
