My entire Stampin’ Up! story is one to share over a pot of coffee…..so I will give you a taste of it here.
I love to stamp and strive to share that love with everyone! I have been a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator since 2000, and throughout my years associated with this company I have gained so much more than I can put into words. The best parts of this business are making friendships and sharing creativity. There are so many magical moments I would have never experienced without having Stampin’ Up! in my life. I am so very thankful for all the opportunities being a demonstrator has given me! Did I mention that I LOVE STAMPING?
Let me know if you want to hear the entire story!
Great cards Robin. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Gayle!

Hello Sherry and welcome to my corner of the stamping world. I hope you find lots of ideas and inspiration!
I’m loving your Friday Crafting Play dates. Haven’t seen them live. Do you do them at a specific time?
Thank you, Jo Ellen! I appreciate the feedback! I have been live around 1:00pm.
I love the 12×12 one sheet wonder that you came up with. I just found you on YouTube and I have been watching all your videos. You do a great job of showcasing your talent for design. I
Michele, thank you very much for your feedback! I sure appreciate you finding my work helpful! It is so much fun!!!😁
Thanks for sharing your passion. Have watched most of your YouTube videos – they are so informative especially for a newbie to card making
Thank you, Rosa, for giving me that feedback, I appreciate it! I am new to making videos and wonder all the time about how to create good content. I’m excited for you to be beginning a card making journey. It has been life changing for me, and can be a very satisfying hobby!
Also let me know, as a new card maker, what kind of information you need, ok?
Thanks
Robin I’m new to scrapbooking I’ve gotten some of the essentials. I’ve been watching your Youtube videos and really enjoy them. I live in Yukon, Ok just west of OKC and I don’t even know if there are StampinUp demonstrates here. Is it possible for you to be mine and you could guide me in the items I need to purchase. Have a wonderful week and thank you again for your gifts and talents!
Hi Lynn! Thank you for finding me! I would love to help you figure out what you are needing. What is the best way for us to chat? If you want to email me then we could exchange numbers and a phone call. ReallyRobinStamps@gmail.com
Love your tutorials. Thank you fir sharing your clever ideas.
OMG, I just came across your YouTube videos a couple days ago and have the running all day on my TVs (yes plural—kitchen and craft room)….. I love your easy to follow tutorials and love how you show what you are doing, then do it….I have stopped several and replayed to catch them. You have inspired me to get back to my crafting room…. I have been a “collector” not a “user” for several years…. But now am back at working on a few of your easy but beautiful designs! Thank you SOOO much for the time and effort you take in doing your demos!!!
Hello and welcome, Kim!!!!! Your comment has made my day-your generous praise humbles me, thank you! It makes me very happy to inspire others and I hope you dust off your supplies and bust out some projects!! How wonderful! Come back often! Where do you live? I’m in IL. Thank you again for leaving me a message!😁
I live in Fairborn (Dayton) Ohio….. Moved here in 2017 from San Antonio Texas….I look forward to following you!
I’m interested about learning the shadow technique. Do you have a video that shows how to make a card using that technique? I saw a card where one of your reviewers had used that technique. Your cards are amazing. Thank you for sharing!
Debbee – I do have a video from a couple years ago about shadow stamping: https://youtu.be/QCsqhfVH1RQ
Robin: this is Linda Cahill, I was wondering if there is a printable color swatch chart that I could download? I would like to swatch my ink pads. I see the colors in the book but wanted to swatch them myself to see true colors. Thanks so much and hope you are doing well. I had knee replacement surgery on the 4th and recovery is painfully slow but doing organizing things.
Your card templates are terrific! The lay out makes it so easy to follow the directions. Always looking for your post and the new card ideas. Thanks.
Hello Marlene! I appreciate your feedback very much and love that you left me a comment! My mom’s name is also Marleen – very special to me! Let me know how I can help you in your stamping journey, ok?
I LOVE all of your ideas!!! Thank you for sharing everything and more important, sharing instructions. And for taking the time to put them in PDF form.
Hello, Angella! Thank you for your sweet message. I appreciate you, and am very glad to share ideas that help others.😁
Found you on YouTube, love your ideas!
Hello, Michelle! Thank you for finding me! Welcome! What can I help you with specifically? Are you a new stamper? Where are you located? 😄
Hi there Robin. I am from New Zealand and am to a demonstrator but only just started a few months ago, i have stumbled across your videos, they are really inspiring. Thank you for that.
Hello Monika and welcome! I’m so happy you are a demonstrator and wish you so much fun! I was blessed to be able to visit New Zealand for my 50th birthday and just loved it! I’m very pleased that you are finding value with my video content and appreciate you letting me know your thoughts. You have made my day!
Thank you for such clear instructions in making cards. Yesterday evening I made the 6×6 “scramble” and produced 5 cards so quickly! They also look good. 🙂 I have a question – do you also share the sheet of paper showing little squares of the DSP and the corresponding colors? They would be a great asset for me, if you can share them. 🙂
Hello Geraldine! I am so very happy that my templates are helping you make cards because that is my goal! I appreciate you letting me know, thank you! I would be happy to share the DSP sheets with you if you let me know which ones you need in particular.
Do you crate the one pagers with DSP square samples and colored card stock? Where can I get those?
Am I able to create those myself?
Hi Charlene! Thank you for leaving me a message! I do create those DSP sample pages myself. You can create them yourself too! I just cut 1″ -2″ squares of the DSP and punch out 1″ circle of coordinating cardstock and glue everything to some inexpensive cardstock. If you send me an email I will send you a file that has the headings for each page of the current DSPs. OK? reallyrobinstamps@gmail.com
So glad I found such a wonderful teacher.
Hi Penny! You words are very sweet, thank you!
I appreciate your simple yet detailed instructions as you walk us through card making. I am new to card making and wasn’t sure how to proceed. Your videos spark my creativity bug! Thank-you 🙂
Hi Michele! I am very humbled to read your comment, and appreciate you taking the time to tell me how my work helps you! 😁
You truly have a gift for the craft and am so thankful you enjoy sharing it with all of us. You have given me such inspiration. I love to stamp but struggle with ideas sometimes and your videos just light a fire. Can’t express how much I appreciate all your wonderful ideas. Thank you!
Hello dear Sarah! Your words have buoyed me this morning and I thank you for being a part of the Really Robin world. I hope we can meet someday! Keep on creating my friend!
I love your cards and your instruction videos!
Hi Ann! I appreciate you leaving me a comment. I love to help others be excited about making cards!
Hi Robin. Just needed to change my e-mail address and resubscribe to your newsletter. I love that I finally found you. I feel that you are one of the best card designers and presenters in Stampin’ Up. You are not only that, but one of the best Teachers, you also give us so many samples to share with us. I could go on & on. Just can’t express how much you have inspired me. Love all of your videos!
Hello Carol, and WOW, you are so very generous with your praise, thank you! I’m thrilled that my work has led to inspiration and lots of cardmaking happiness. I surely appreciate you taking the time to share your appreciation with ME!
Robin…I enjoyed being reminded about the 1.25″ square DSP squares projects. It seems we sometimes get so excited by new techniques and designs to try, that we forget how much fun these old “faithful” designs are. I needed this boost to get back to some basics to use up so many of my bits&pieces I’ve been saving. I will look forward to seeing more of your tutorials!!
Hi Pam! I hope you can put a dent in your scraps and create lots of cards with squares! I agree with you in that tried and true ideas are always a delight to go back to. Happy creating!
Hi Robin, I really enjoy your YouTube videos. I appreciate the detailed demonstrations you have. I’ve ordered for the first time with you today. Is it possible to get the current catalog?
Thanks!
Ruby C.
Hi Ruby! Thank you so much for your kind words and for your order. Yes, I will mail you a catalog!!
Hello Robin! I received the annual catalog from you the same day that my order arrived. I am in my happy space with having a catalog to see so many beautiful stamps, inks, and WOW—Papers! The DSP’s just get more beautiful as I turn pages. I am binging on your videos and love that you share so many options with each card. I am glad I found you – I like your style of presentation and your obvious love of the craft!
I have learned a lot about placement strategies with your Focal Point presentations, thank you for sharing your knowledge and look forward to more Friday Playdates.
Thank you so much, Shirley, for your enthusiasm about the catalog and all the possibilities of cardmaking. Happy creating with your new products!
Hello Robin
What die did you use in your ‘bird’ card (with the branch cutout)? Thank you
Hi Lynn! Can you help me narrow down which bird card you are referring to? A recent card? Thanks!
Robin, just found your channel on You Tube, was watching a video from a few years back, and you were showing how to cut up a 12 x 12 piece of dip, to make many card fronts. I love how you get so much from one piece of paper. I have subscribed to your channel and will be watching for more informative ideas. Thanks, Mary Kay
Hello Mary Kay! Thank you for taking the time to leave me your comment – I’m really happy you have found some good information to inspire your creativity!
Hello Robin, My name is Glenis and I am so excited to have found you. I live in
Sydney, Australia. Last Sunday I celebrated my 81st Birthday with my family and yes I still enjoy making cards. I came upon you on U-Tube. I am “gobsmacked” at your talent and your ability to explain with ease. Thank you for all that you do Robin. Much love, Glenis
Hello Glenis! I’m so happy you have found me and are making cards for your friends and family. Thank you for leaving me a happy message!
Glenis, I can image your accent as I read your comment! Card making is so much fun!
me too!
I think you are one talented lady! I’m amazed how you can match up papers. One’s I never thought would go together, turn out amazing. I’m watching some of your older videos too. I especially like the Squash-Fold cards. Once I learned the technique, I can make them pretty fast. I have made so many different cards over the years and have improved a bunch since watching your shows. Thank you!
H Marie! Thank you for your very sweet message. I’m glad you have found some ideas to use in your card making journey! You’ve given me a huge compliment to say that you’ve improved a bunch since following me. Thank you!
Hello Robin- Nice looking family picture💕 I enjoy your you tube videos. I have really been excited about your focal point videos. I am glad to learn more. I am thrilled that you go into explaining about the focal points & your other videos as well. Giving great explanations on things & deciding what works together, etc. You are very knowledgeable & explain things to us & make it easy to understand. Thank you for your paper crafting tips , techniques & all you do for the community of paper crafters.
Thank you, Judy! Your feedback is very important to me and I appreciate your enthusiasm for focal point clusters. Thank you!!
Robin
my name is Peggy Connors I have ordered 2 orders using your host code i called Stampin up and told them to put your host number let me know if you got credit Thanks Peggy
Hi Peggy! I sure did, thank you, Peggy!
I just found you on You-tube and I am loving your creative cards. I have watched many other and I am really drawn to yours!!! I noticed your well organized stamping room also, so nice. I saw that you put all of your Dies on a magnetic sheet and include them with your stamp sets. So handy!!! Could you tell me where I might purchase them? Thank you so much. Pat
Hi Pat! Welcome to my little corner of the stamping world – I’m so glad you are here! I get my magnetic cards from a company called Stamp N Storage.
Hi Robin. Thank you so much for sending a welcome greeting and the stamping inspiration projects. Wow! My card making had become very stale and I was not enthusiastic at all to sit down and craft cards. You have inspired me to get back into it. I am working my way through all of your postings and learning the ins-and-outs of how Stamping Up! works. Thank you for all of your hard work.
Hi JoAnne! Welcome to my little corner of the card making world. I’m so happy to hear that you are finding inspiration – that is my singular goal for what I do. I appreciate your comments and hope you stay in contact with me!
I enjoy your ideas, and love when you share life. I would love to have coffee and hear your story.
My challenge is to increase my creativity. I have overcome cutting, can almost stamp without using 6 pages.:)
tragic story about the Stampin’ Up supplies I have acquired for years to work on in retirement. anyway, all those wonderful coordinating packages of color and pattern. I recently did the episode 100 of “One sheet wonders with some paper given to me getting rid of scrapbooking paper. Now what to do with base cards. color and pattern. colors on cards not to awful.
My rambling is to ask what next, how do you decide on the focal point, color, etc.
Hi Debi! Thank you for taking the time to leave me a message and tell me about what you are creating. I think when in doubt, a go-to focal point should be your greeting on some sort of shape. This piece can be layered with a coordinating color in another shape. Keep watching the videos and learning! Happy creating!
Thank you so much for sharing and for your inspiration. Oh what fun to be stamping again and finding you on YouTube. Now to build up my supplies.
So happy to hear that you are stamping again! Happy creating.
I just accidentally saw you on you tube this evening! I had never seen you before! I really enjoyed your long video about 1,2,3 z-fold cards! You did a great job of showing how to make them! I really enjoyed it and hope I can find more of your videos to watch! I live in Iowa. Thank you!
Hi Elizabeth! Thank you for you sweet comment and I hope you stick around and find some more fun folds and techniques to love! I will look for your comments on YouTube too! 😁
Robin,
I have been enjoying the comments you have received. I too just recently found you on you tube. When I first saw your face, you reminded me of a cousin of mine. I cannot find any more words to express how I like your videos. The comments said it all and I agree. I plan to watch your up coming videos. I have made about 20 cards from your instructions for the cut stack and shuffle. I also made a card using your instructions for a coleage card, it turned out ok but I want to make a better one. Thanks and I hope you can continue teaching. Looking forward to next video (they are so much better than regular tv. Jane
Thank you, Jane! You are so very generous with your support and enthusiasm. Keep stamping and I look forward to connecting with you more.
Yes Robin, I want to hear your entire story! Xx, Mercy
Lol! Do you like coffee?
Um…LOVE coffee!
We need to hear your full story! I have been following you for a year now, and I truly love your videos. They are instructional and informative. How do you come up with your card layouts and plan? I struggle deciding on, card stock, dsp, layout/design etc. I do like cards that are simple but detailed. As always a fan of your work.
Hello Cheryl! You are so sweet. I’m glad you like my vibe, and I’m so glad you are here!
I’ve been stamping since the mid 90’s and I recently found you on you-tube, and love what you create! Love your videos and would love yo see a tour of your craft space. Thanks for sharing your love of stamping and paper crafting!
Hi Shauna! I will definitely keep this in mind.
Hi Robin. I have been stamping for 3 years now, I took it up after my daughter died in 21 she left a cricut with a lot of paper. So I tried on my own to make cards I started looking an the web and YouTube for Ideas that when I saw a advertisement about stampin up card kits so I joined . It asked me to pick a demonstrator it gave me a list to choose one that is how I come to have you as my demonstrator, I live in Idaho in a small town close to the Continual Divide
in a town called Salmon. I’m 81 years old live with my 2 daughters and 2 grandkids I’m disabled so I make cards to sell as well as, paper flowers\, covered candy dishes, and vases. I also have thyroid cancer, I hope this tells you a little about me
Thank you, Cindy, for taking the time to help me get to know you better! I’m very happy to hear that you are enjoying card making and get to share your craft with others through your sales.
Robin, would love to hear your whole story. I think that it would be very interesting. Would love to know what awards you keep receiving from stamping up. I know that you are one of the smartest demonstrators on you tube. I appreciate that you share your knowledge with us. I have made some wonderful cards because of your talent. I can’t thank you enough. Regards Debbie from Melbourne Australia. I will be waiting to hear your story.
Thank you, Debbie, for being such a great cheerleader to me! I’m really thrilled that you are enjoying your cardmaking and learning new things! Keep going!
Hi Robin, I haven’t been very active making cards this year due to illness. I am starting to do more. I watched you tutorial on the Bookbinding Gateway Fold card. What a fun card. Love it. Love the other Fun Fold cards you have created. It is one of my favorite card designs. I don’t know if I am on your list to get a catalog, but I would love to get the new catalog.
Love & Blessings
Anita Rock
Hi Anita! I’m so glad you are feeling like you can get back to your card making. You will be getting a catalog for sure!
