I did the same thing about ten years ago. Loved stampin up and was a demo but was in the same position. I still like stamping ups products and do buy things but there is so much out there, a lot more than there was when I signed up. Best wishes on your new adventure 😊
Good luck Wendy. ❤️ Don’t feel guilty leaving. There are so many companies, and fun supplies to work with. You are creative and talented - you will enjoy the freedom to create, and to spread your wings. I was with SU for about 2 year. I bought ALL the inks, reinkers, markers, paper, etc. - then there was a color refresh. I wasn’t prepared for all my supplies retiring and didn’t want to be tied to any one company. My cards are now more creative than I had ever imagined - and I mix old and new products, and supplies from many companies. I hope your journey is as freeing as mine was, and that the changes you make are profitable for you.
I was a SU demo for 17 years but I hit a creative wall. I resigned from SU and discovered a massive papercrafting world. As I explored it my creative joy returned. I wish you joy and blessings in your journey!
I left SU at the end of November then joined CTMH. Well, 3 months later is when CTMH announced they were closing and working a deal with SU. I was devastated. That's when I went completely independent, and I am having a fun time being able to demonstrate with whatever I want and having that creative freedom without having to go by someone else's rules. You go Wendy!
I think that’s fantastic! I could never be loyal to just one brand. It’s a big crafty world that includes so many options. I hope you continue to share your creativity!
Life is short, enjoy your daughter as much as possible! I have never heard anyone say " Oh I wish I hadn't spent so much time with my kid!" You have an exciting future in card making I'm sure!
Bless you Wendy! I know that your heart lies with doing your best for all those who watch your videos, your customers, and down line. I will continue to watch your TH-cam videos. I believe in not having “all your eggs in one basket” so to speak. Also, I still want to hear about your family happenings! Wishing you all the best!
Congratulations to you!!!! As a hobby demonstrator for SU, I too have struggled with only having used SU products for so many years. Over the past year I have been introduced to the many amazing OTHER companies that have amazing quality products. It has catapulted my creativity and I am loving it. I totally get why you want to venture out. I stumbled on your video and will now follow your new journey. Excited to see what is in store. Thanks for helping to get the word out that there are great new DIFFERENT products to help feed our creativity.
Good luck Wendy! You should never be restricted on your creativity. I like some of Stamping Up but not all of their designs as well. I believe their stamps are getting too expensive for my budget. There are so many other companies creating awesome cards. Enjoy!
good for you! I joined SU for 2 years just for product- thought it would save me $$ if I just bought SU- LOL-that was about 3 years ago. no longer buying anything from them now. anyway I have product from almost every company. My new favorite product is the Stamp Wheel from Altenew, a game changer for me. I love the SU inks, cardstock and the SU paper trimmer which I use all the time. Can't wait for more videos, I've been doing this for a LONG time and I know what works well and what doesn't . Have a great Summer.
Sad and happy both at the same time. Admit not fully surprised at your decision. In this journey the past year-ish, the joy of creating was evident. We could all see the change in you and the fun you were having. I agree with many of the previous posts, yes, girl, we will be on this creative train with you. What a hard video to make and applaud h this heartfelt video. A previous post stating not “having all your eggs in one basket” is so very true, to feel like you were limited and stifled when you wanted to “fly”and girl you are doing just that. Along with great instructions, the sharing of yourself was the real treasure. You will be soaring in this new venture.
I have appreciated your openness and honesty from the first video I watched yours back when I was looking to become a hobby SU demonstrator. It's exciting and inspiring to hear that you are getting so many requests from companies wanting to work with you, and of course you should be able to be compensated for that financially! Most of all, you should be able to do what brings your heart the most Joy. Really appreciate the email with the the other demos whom you would recommend, as I am no longer a demo myself. Wishing you all the best although I know that you will keep making videos and I look forward to those.
Wendy...I wish you all good an d wonderful things in the future. I have followed you for a white and appreciate all I have gleaned from you in your videos. THANKS so much!
I love your creative spirit Wendy and what you share is the inspiration to go and play with art supplies and make projects which is the most important thing. There is an amazing world of paper crafting, book binding and mixed media out there...go spread your wings and enjoy
Wendy, people like and love you. I enjoy your honesty and the joy you have shared in the off topic videos - baking, gardening, horses and pigs and such. I will continue to enjoy for art videos because you are so talented and fun to watch. YOU,GO, Girl!! Life is short. Enjoy.
Good for you. I praise you for following your heart. I am a demo and want and do use other products and enjoy exploring other companies. I will continue to follow you as you are a great creator. Wishing you the best of luck.
Hey Wendy I will miss seeing you at the events and I am so glad we were put together back in 2013 to talk at the Annual Convention in SLC. Thank you for doing a talk for my event a couple of years ago, I wish you all the very best and will look forward to seeing you flourish.
All the very best to you Wendy. I still have all my training notes and your Business Budget Workbook which I am still using (in parts) from a few years ago. Thank you for the past wonderful training and encouragement. God bless you on your new journey.
Good luck Wendy, wherever this venture takes you. I’m not a part of your Stampin’ Up team, but I am a part of your online card making team!!! Do what makes Wendy happy!!! Love & prayers!!! 💕🙏🏻💕
Welcome to creative freedom Wendy my dear friend! Can't wait to watch your journey and your creative juices flow with the freedom to use whatever you want. I understand because I did the same thing years ago.
Wendy, you have been a wonderful leader! You are such a lovely person as well as being a great card maker. I, too, have resigned from stampin up but for other ethical reasons (IYKYK). I won't be resigning from you, however! I wish you all the best. You will do great! Enjoy your summer with Macie!
I'm so excited for you! I also feel your excitement through the announcement. You will no doubt do amazing as you poo that bubble and explore all there is in the industry. We will follow and enjoy, learn and be inspired. Looking forward to it! Congrats!
Wendy, this is a wonderful video and you made this announcement with poise and class-something some others could learn from. What a perfect way to announce the closing of one door to open the window to another. Your excitement for what’s next shines through (especially at the end) and I cannot wait to see where this leads you next in your creative and professional journey. I have been a loyal watcher and follower for many many years (I’m a SU Demo celebrating 22 years in August), and I always learned something new from you. Cannot wait to see what comes next. Finally, thank you. Thank you for sharing your creativity with all of us. For someone like me that has not had a real upline in 20’years, I’m so grateful for your inspiration and motivation when I needed it most. See you on here and in the Vault!
So very happy for you. You must take a chance in life to be happy with what you do. Best of luck to you on the new journey, God Bless always 🌹 looking forward to the new videos.
Congratulations Wendy - sometimes we all need a fresh start. I've been following you for a long time and can't wait to see what this next chapter brings. One thing that I'm sure won't change - you'll still have the best hair on TH-cam, lol. Wishing you a beautiful and blessed summer! Enjoy!
Thank you Wendy for all you have done for cardmaking over the years with SU. I'm an SU demo (hobby at the moment) and I have enjoyed learning from you in the past. I look forward to see your next adventures. Enjoy the summer with your daughter!
I wish you the best of luck, Wendy. I admire your bravery as well as your dedication and hard work. I support your decision. You are going to do GREAT and I can't wait to hear your announcement on the 28th!
You are incredibly talented! I know you will continue to grow and flourish in the crafting community! I have enjoyed watching your videos. Wish you the best in your new journey!
I appreciate that you are helping your teammates to have your customers and build their business’s ,instead of giving them to the high achievers just for $$$ Good luck You will do great❤ Blessings
You do you! I am happy for you following your heart on your own creative journey. Enjoy the freedom to go on whatever path you choose along the way. You’ll do great, and I’ll continue to watch.

I am happy for you. You deserve to be happy and to strive to be your best. I read lots of the comments and it seams that everyone is happy for You and your journey forward.
I've been following you for the past 7+ years, and always love your style, your creativity and I will still follow your videos. Best of luck and look forward seeing more awesome contents.
Best of luck to your creative journey. I’ve loved watching your videos and will continue to watch you no matter what company you are with. I liked your scrapbook page.
I once heard Tim Holtz say in an interview “never apologize for your creative evolution.” I think this applies to you Wendy, and I wish you the best.
I did the same thing about ten years ago. Loved stampin up and was a demo but was in the same position. I still like stamping ups products and do buy things but there is so much out there, a lot more than there was when I signed up. Best wishes on your new adventure 😊
Good luck where ever your journey takes you.

I feel we all have the right to find our creativity and express it to others.we love other card makers!

Life is too short to just play with one product line, enjoy your creative journey and keep sharing crafty goodness! 💞💞💞
Life is short, enjoy your daughter as much as possible! I have never heard anyone say " Oh I wish I hadn't spent so much time with my kid!" You have an exciting future in card making I'm sure!
We are all behind you 100% lady. I will continue to watch your videos and stay a member of the Creative Vault. You go girl!
You're the best! Thank you so much
You have to do what makes you happy. I’m so glad you will still share your card making inspiration.
This choice is a huge and emotional thing, good luck and spread your wings. Wishing you all the best in your new venture xx
You Go Girl!!!!
What a compliment- being asked to be part of a design team and sponsored by card making companies!!!!!
Congratulations 🍾
Thank you so much!!

SU is a gateway drug into cardmaking. Many started there but I do get the creative part. I have ventured out and have enjoyed the other offerings.
Looking forward to travelling the next stage of this card making journey with you. Best wishes.
Kudos to you. You need to follow your heart. Those who believe in you will be there for you. Learn, love, grow, enjoy!
