Stampin’ Up! #1 Demonstrator Pootles – Huge and Amazing Stampin’ Blends Giveaway!
Well I have a surprise for you!
I have a competition and giveaway for the last week of September. Our calendar year ends on September 30th and we will then be in full flight into the next working year. But I wanted to end the year with a bang and celebrate all of you who’ve shopped with me, commented on my posts and videos, shared my projects and just been all round amazing.
If you’ve not yet delved into the world of Stampin’ Blends and our amazing range of alcohol markers, you’re in for a treat. Though of course, if you HAVE already experienced some of them, you will love the chance to fill all your racks and more, because…..
I’m giving away the ENTIRE collection of Stampin’ Blends AND enough Storage for all of them (and there’s space for more as and when SU releases more!)
Okay, here goes
- For every £10(€13.50) you spend on an order, or multiple orders, I will put your name into the draw to win the entire prize worth over £357 that I’ve been collecting for the last few months to gift to you.
- So if you were to spend £45 on an order, you’d get 4 entries into the draw, spend £60 on one order and £25 on another, you’d get your name in the draw 8 times. And so on! So yes, you can place multiple orders
- However, I do want to make it clear that there is no purchase necessary to participate in the competition, so if you leave a comment here on my blog, you can also get your name in the draw too!
- Finally, all people who place an order before the competition closes on Saturday 30th September will receive the usual goodie pack of card and gift , but you will also receive a packet of Rhinestones too.
It’s as simple as that. For every £10/€13.50 you spend, you get an entry into the draw, and there’s no limit to the number of times your name can go into it!
- GOODIE BOX PRIZE
- However I do have some wonderful people around the world who support me and I want to make sure you’re included in a little competition. I can’t send you Stampin’ Up! product, but I can send you a box of goodies that I’ve made.
- All you need to do is leave me a comment telling me a crafty fact about you and which country you’re in.
Best of luck everyone!

Hey Sam, I happened upon your blog a couple of years back when I returned to the UK; I was already familiar with Stampin’ Up! However your blog has really inspired me to get paper-crafting, although I don’t do it as often as I’d like!! I love, love your colour combinations and often simple creations – meaning anyone can make them. I thoroughly enjoyed your card tutorial packs – anymore in the pipeline Sam? I know you will easily achieve your goals for this year due to your creativity, work ethic and care for those paper-crafters all over the world. Sx
Oh and I forgot to say, that you are an inspirational woman! What you have achieved whilst raising your beautiful family is inspirational to many women! Sx
Hello Samantha
How generous you are, not only do you share your projects each day which I watch avidly and you give away lovely hostess gifts, but now this. I must say I watch your tutorials each day as soon as my husband hears your voice he says oh it’s Sam again lol. My husband is in the military and has been for 40 years so I move around a bit, I have a daughter Samantha and a son Christopher we live in England. A lot of my craft stuff is still packed away in boxes from my last move, I can’t wait to have a permanent craft room when my husband finishes from the RAF. so I have been slowly getting things together to do my crafting for Christmas. I mostly make cards, But i will have to give your boxes a whirl.
Awesome! It so exciting win ir no win seeing everybody hitting the keyboards for comments is nice to imagine… thank you Sam for this fun game. Very generous of you. Good luck everyone.
I love check out for ideas every moring.,with my cup of tea. I am from Canada (Québec). A crafty things about me is : its a little me time and I love to make things and give to family , friends and co works.my craft space very messy when I am working on a project.! Have a great day everyone.
Wow what a great and generous gift. I love the way you run your business…the gifts, the vouchers, the retreats, the mentoring. Truly inspiring. Although I do love watching your tutorial and have made many of your creations, it is your business management that I find so intriguing. I am generally a crocheter but do delve into papercrafting as well. Although the markers would be wonderful to win, I would be just as pleased and excited with winning some of your handmade creations. Thanks for all the inspirations. I am in Canada….so sadly, out of your realm of placing and order and winning some wonderful markers.
Oh my Goooooooooood!!! As everybody . . . I love gifts!!!! Have read all the wonderful comments before me. I read your postings every day as well as some of your team members. What I do the most are the boxes and wraps. They have been so helpful for wrapping goodies for the Christmas Bazaar as well as to give small gives to my friends. The person winning will be so lucky!!! I am writing from Algeria, but I purchase from France . . . by the way I will be in Paris soon to pick up my Traditional Christmas Bundle . . . I have to be patient!!! I might purchase something since I know you are getting closer and closer to your one million milestone sales. Good luck to everybody!!!!
Hi Sam
Love your talent & contribution to the crafting industry as a whole. You inspire crafters at all levels and offer encouragement to those of us needing that extra little push.
Continued success and many happy times with your wonderful Stampin Up journey.
You go girl!!

Greetings from Tyndall, South Dakota, USA. My first love is scrapbooking, but cardmaking/papercrafting is now a close second due to Stampin’ Up! You were the first on-line demonstrator that I discovered a bit over 5 years ago. I still eagerly start my day with a cup of Earl Gray Tea & your tutorials. Thank you for this wonderful offer & all of the sharing that you do.
Hi Sam, I check my email first thing in the morning and look forward to your posts. It’s a great way to start my day. Thank you! I live in Dover, NH USA.
Fantastic. Placed an order last week and it should be here today, yipee. You are brilliant and I have a ‘folder’ with lots of your bags and boxes ideas in it. Some are done and some to be savoured. Love the videos every day. Thankyou.
Hi Sam – Have been a daily follower for many years from Florida, USA. Love all your projects and the ease with which you make them. I especially love to make your faceted boxes. Thank you for including us foreigners in your competition. Blessings and Best wishes to you always. Heather V
Dear Sam,
How sweet of you !!! I am new to color blending. What a great give away. I live in the USA and follow you on all your social media. Love all your tutorials.
Thank you, Carol
I watch every one of your video’s and love all the boxes, bags and treat holders that you make. I am a big fan of stamping and embossing. I have tons of die and treasure each and everyone. I live in the United States and I am envious of the different crafting supplies available in the UK. Your voucher system is wonderful for everyone that purchases from you and the many thank you gifts that you make is just so wonderful. I know the person who wins the most precious gift of the blends and the storage are going to love it!!! I really love the blends and how great they are to work with
Thank you , Terri
I am in Minnesota and I love making cards and scrapbooking and all sorts of paper crafts. I so enjoy following you and I love your videos!! You have such talent and I am so glad you share it with us.
You are such a generous, talented woman that is so inspiring and generous. I wish, too, that I lived where I could order from you, but I live in the USA and so I just watch your videos and all each and every day and have made several things from your inspiration on using DSP and such. I always make my own cards, especially for my grandchildren and recently made one using the Dino Rawr paper just like you had shown! My little grandson loved it. I wish I lived closer to my granddaughters as they enjoy doing SU things, too. I always share things for Valentine’s Day so they can give their classmates homemade goodies using SU supplies. Thanks for all your generosity with all of us all over the world!
I love to make all of your boxes! Thank you so very much for sharing all of your wonderful creative ideas with all of us! I also love to scrapbook and make cards. I live in the U.S.
Wow. How kind of you to gift such an awesome prize. Good luck to everyone.
Hello Sam! Sending greetings from California. I love incorporating my love of quilting with paper crafting.
Love watching the inspiring YouTube videos and reading your blog.
I am in Australia so can’t purchase from you both gave a great Stampin Up demonstrator here.
I love your videos.
This past January, my husband had gifted me an envelope punch board. I had never done stamping nor any kind of papercrafting before.
Your videos were the first I had seen doing boxes and bags. From that day to today, first thing I do in the morning is have a cup of coffee and view your video (my husband, lots of times, also watches with me).
I live in California and am I extremely lucky that you have been so generous to others who cannot join your team. I appreciate it very much that I can purchase the tutorials. Wonderful.
Thanks again Sam for all of your incredible inspiration.
What a fabulous giveaway XXX good luck everyone
Okay crafty fact about me is i absolutely love all things Stampin’Up! And the friends we make too! XXX
I am a 66 year old woman who cannot put down my paper, die cuts, rubber stamps, alcohol inks, paper trimmer, etc. I have found over the many years I have been making cards that this has so much helped me with my anxiety and depression. The best medicine around. It makes me happy to hear also how much our craft of cardmaking and scrapbooking is coming back in keeps and bounds. GREAT! ONE thing that bothers me is that the United States is not able to join in on many drawings and giveaways. I purchase magazine’s and lots of them and they always say on their giveaways US is not included. I would love so very much to win a giveaway or contest . Then use these products and display them saying that I had won these from whatever companies. That would give companies lots of promotion. Well all you ladies and gentlemen, have super fun in cardmaking and scrapping always leave a legency.
Hi Sam. It’s not easy for me to write in English but I understand very well your videos , so well explained ! It’s a long time I follow you, you are very talented ! …
Thanks for all. I work in Paris, near Eiffel Tower and live in the suburb.
Wow!!!! What an awesome give-away for your customers!!! I too love the Blends!!!
Good luck everyone!

Hi Sam, I just made your Christmas card ‘book’, your instructions are so easy to follow and hubby even said ‘wow’ when he saw it. Thanks for the inspiration.

Wishing you a fabulous and goal breaking year ahead. ….

I hope you know how much all your efforts and generosity are appreciated. thank you so much for all you share and now a chance to win a prize too. You’re awesome and so are your projects. I live in Arizona, USA
I am 71 years old and I love to make cards and gifts for family and friends. I check each morning to see what new tutorials are in my mail box and watch them to get ideas. I just spent a week making birthday cards for a 90th birthday. I made some for most of my family to give also as It is not easy to find cards for 90th birthday. I love all your box and bag ideas and make many of them. You have a great team and I get the blog post from many of them. You treat your team members really well and really encourage them. I would love to meet you someday but that probably won’t happen. But I can dream. Thank you for sharing your talent and ideas with all of us stampers around the world. JoAnn Porter

Wow amazing giveaway. I often look at your you tubes for ideas for my small monthly class or craft faurs and am grateful you are generous about sharing ideas.
You’ve been such an inspiration to me in my crafting! What an amazing giveaway! A crafty fact….I had been using stamps in my teaching career since 1985 but it wasn’t until I attended an SU workshop in 1999 that it even occurred to me to make cards with them! My first purchase was a bottle of Stampin’ Mist cleaner that I used to clean 15 years of ink off my stamps! (Worked like a charm!) I’ve been an avid card maker ever since! I’m in the US! 🙂

Dear Sam,
what a treat! You never seem to have a lack of creativity. Thank you for presenting a new wonderful project every day.
I am reading your blog in Germany and mostly like the easy one – stamp – set – only projects. Simply because they are easier to handle with my two little kids who love stamping.
Thank you for all the inspiration!
Andrea
Amazing prize, wow so generous. Do the blends have to be used on specific cardstock for the best results?
What a fantastic prize! Wish I could win, but I live in the United States. I love the blends, but they are pricey. Thank you for your tutorials. Always a hit!
Hi Sam,
You do go above and beyond for your customers – this is yet another example of your generosity, which is much appreciated! I’m so hoping to win the blends, as I don’t own a single one yet….
