Default Here are some great reasons to go to your local demo!

And some reasons NOT to go to Micheals and Joannes!

- SU stamps and Inks are Made in The USA! and we emply a HUGE amount of US citizens! whoo hoo! Less dependance on foreign Stamps!

- SU and your demo actually care about you! Isn't that worth something!

- Help out a woman owned business. Not only is SU itself Woman Owned, but your Demo owns her own business too. Help her out!

- Save on Gas! have your stuff delivered right to you!

- Shop in your jammies... and no need to put your kids in the car!

- One on One attention from a real person with SU. Not happening at your BIG craft shops in most cases.

So what are you waiting for? Order up some stamps from YOUR SU demo today!

(By the way... I have no idea about how the big crafts stores run their businesses... and this isn't a rip on them in any way... just being funny!)

Hi Sarah from Elgin...this is Anna from DC. I should have know this thread came from you. Thanks for making me laugh. I might have to use it at my open house this weekend. I'll pretend that I'm the sassy demo that I wish I could be. Just wanted to say Hi!

I love my Demo! She's so talented, teaches me lots of cool stuff, and always places my orders right away. In fact, my latest SU order was just delivered today!! Thank you, Demo Staramaze!

Staramaze,
Great incentives to buy from S.U! I did not know that the inks and stamps are made in the U.S. That makes me happy. Thanks for the insight!

You forgot to mention the quality of the paper!
I took the word of some folks in a thread about other papers and bought a pack of Georgia Pacific white CS at Walmart. At first I thought it was pretty much the same...it had a pretty good 'feel' and weight to it and seemed to take the ink pretty well. Then I tried to stamp the same image over itself to intensify the color, and it bled something awful! I was not at all pleased with the way it worked when I tried the WWC and aquabrush, either! It broke down pretty quickly and I couldn't get really good color laid down. I'll use what I bought as card bases, but never for stamping on! It's SU! Whisper White for me from now on! I learned my lesson![IMG]//www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/images/icons/icon12.gif[/IMG]

This is SO true! I swear nothing else compares! It's almost like the Whisper White sucks up the ink! It is MADE for stamping. AND the card stock is so soft and workable... it's almost like fabric! SU ROCKS!
