Not everyone is ethical about the way they carry out their business practices. However, I think you are being a little unfair to class all Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as people who cheat and steal designs belonging to others and blame Stampin' Up! for this issue. From your description of this transaction, your customer stated that she got the design from someone at the Stampin' Up! class that she attended, but did not state that the class taught that design or supplied it. It could just as easily have been shared by another attendee from the class perhaps sharing between friends (as friends often do) and may not have been related in any way to the class or the Stampin' Up! demonstrator holding the class. I hope that anyone reading your blog that has been misusing your designs will cease this practice and be ethical in their future practices. I hope you will give those of us who do follow the rules the benefit of the doubt and not include us with those who have no respect for the rules. There are many designers selling their tutorials on the internet and there are a lot of similarities between different designers selling similar tutorials. I have seen ugly situations where designers have accused each other of stealing their designs. For me, the safest way is to not purchase tutorials online and that way I do not get caught up in the ugliness. I hope that you will have more positive experiences in the future, including those with Stampin' Up! demonstrators and customers.

The world just seems to be getting more and more greedy! :( This really saddens me:( You make beautiful designs and you deserve to earn a profit from it! I'm so sorry this has happened to you! :(Janet Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12773045570483903281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088615652094181561.post-33809367386126317752013-10-15T10:17:58.806+11:002013-10-15T10:17:58.806+11:00So sorry you had to finally be effected by these r...So sorry you had to finally be effected by these rude people! I've read similar stories on other Blogs. It's not like you or others are trying to sell things for big bucks that would cause people to steal by getting from others who bought!<br />I have bought from you numerous times, never had a problem receiving the purchase. Once I had a problem on e-bay but through e-mails with the seller, I found they had a medical emergency & was out of town. As soon as they returned, my purchase was shipped.<br />My husband & I also have our own business (not internet related) but it always amazes us when we receive a complaint via the Better Business Bureau and we never heard from the customer directly. By the way, the BBB always found in our favor. But if they don't tell something is wrong, you can't fix it.<br />So, anyhow, I hope you don't stop sharing & selling your designs!! Been following you for quite awhile and don't want to lose you!!<br />I was a SU Demo for awhile, as a hobby demo, but never took it any further because I couldn't follow their rules.<br />Keep your chin up & know that there are a lot us out here that want you to stay around!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088615652094181561.post-59399688555706828482013-10-15T10:15:24.040+11:002013-10-15T10:15:24.040+11:00SOOO SORRY you're having this trouble Valita!!...SOOO SORRY you're having this trouble Valita!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
