MDS Announcement

Major changes are underway at Stampin' Up! We have been examining programs throughout the company to determine how effective each one is—all with the intent to provide our demonstrators with the best possible opportunities for growth and success. After careful evaluation and consideration, Stampin’ Up! has determined that we will no longer offer MDS or its associated professional print services. Though we understand that this announcement may be difficult for some of you, change is an inevitable part
of any business; innovation is in fact one of our guiding principles at Stampin’ Up!
