Stampin’ Up! Australia Rocks!

They truly do.  I’ve worked for several very large and generous companies but none of them come even remotely close to comparing to Stampin’ Up! Australia.  Their generosity in time, resources, understanding, encouragement, praise and so many other rewards continues to blow me away.  Exhibit A:

flowers

This is the gorgeous flower arrangement I received by courier on Friday evening, sent to me by Stampin’ Up! Australia.  It was sent to me for being the first Australian demonstrator to promote to the position of Counsellor.  I was totally blown away by this gesture since I had already received a very generous cash bonus for promoting.  I was still lovingly admiring the flowers today when I received this card in the mail, again from Stampin’ Up! Australia.

Um, wow.  I don’t put this much effort into my cards, so I was deeply touched that Stampin’ Up! staff handmade me this gorgeous card.  There’s so much happening here with a spritzed background, distressed sentiment, embossed dots on the scallop background made by using a Crop-a-dile.  So many flowers and leaves stamped and hand-cut!  Dots of Crystal Effects to add shine and texture to parts of the flowers and even embossing with Heat & Stick Powder with Dazzling Diamonds to add sparkle – all tied up with a gorgeous ribbon.

(EDITED TO ADD:  just found out that the very sweet Hollie Thorne of Stampin’ Up! Australia and The Elite Stampers team made me this stunning card – thank you Hollie! I’m unbelievably appreciative of the amount of time you put in to this card)

I’m a bit choked up now so I’ll just finish up by saying how truly blessed and lucky I am to have found Stampin’ Up! and to have them as a part of my life.

Thank you Aaron, Amanda, Ana, Clare, Hollie and Jeanette – you guys are all truly amazing.  Oh, and you all rock!

    Ange you are da bomb girl!! First Aussie Counsellor – what an awesome achievement you’ve made is such a short time and what an awesome team you have (and not just cos I’m in it!) You give so much and its so good to see you get a little love back! I do have to agree with you tho – SU is an awesome company to work for and as you know I’ve worked for a few direct selling businesses and SU beats them all hands down!!

    Enjoy the moment honey and a big congrats from me :D

    (Yup you know where to send the cheque!!)

    your favourite level 2 ;0)

    Awesome achievement Angela! I can see why u’d be overcome with emotion!!! For those of us uneducated folk…exactly WHAT does a SU Counsellor involve/entail. With all the rewards etc…it must be something of note…but…please explain :) . Thanks so much xx

  9. Angela, on June 25th, 2009 at 11:23 am Said:

    Thank you everyone for your beautiful comments. Lynda, apart from the first title which is Senior Associate, each title is achieved by a combination of sales, helping others start their own Stampin’ Up! business and helping those people to grow their business to be successful and profitable. To put it into perspective, I have so far promoted 8 levels and there are only 3 more levels that I can possibly achieve.

    How cool is that? You already know we all think it’s fabulous, but for it to be so warmly recognised by the company over and above their normal incentives is really special. Congratulations again and thanks from me and my team for your leadership and encouragement.

    That last message suffered from early discharge syndrome :) Not sure what button I pushed to make that happen, but here’s what it was supposed to say:

    CONGRATULATIONS Angela – you go girl!! What a great achievement, and you deserve every bit of the flowers, the fabby card, the kudos – well done you!
