Who is Lisa Stenz?

I have had many people contact me wanting to take advantage of the great Starter Kit and become a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. Understandably, they want to find a team leader that they can relate to and want to know a little bit more about me and my business before joining my team. I thought it might be beneficial to post a little about myself here for those of you would like to get to know me better. (Of course you are always welcome to contact me me if you have any questions or would like to know something more specific about me or my business.)

My name is Lisa Stenz and I am 54 years old. I live in Southern California with my hubby of 24 years and my two amazing kids who are 18 and 21. I am a Christian and try to live my life first and foremost for the Lord.

I have a Bachelors Degree in Graphic Design and worked as a Graphic Designer in the corporate world for many years before starting my own company. I owned a stationery business where I custom designed invitations for 4 years and then became a Close to my Heart Consultant/Maker, which I enjoyed for over 19 years. When CTMH closed their doors in April of 2024, my team and I made the move to Stampin’ Up! where I am now a proud SU! Demonstrator. I enjoy teaching workshops and classes and holding monthly online clubs where I can help others foster their creativity as well. Feel free to contact me if you’d like more information on hosting an event, attending a class, placing an order, or joining a club.

I am currently the leader of a Stampin’ Up! team called the Paper Trufflez with demonstrators that currently reside in 20 different states. I enjoy having both hobbyists and business builders on my team. I try my best to support each individual team member in whatever way they like. (I never want to pressure my hobbyists, and yet I want to encourage and support those who want to build a business.) I send out monthly team newsletters and have a special team Facebook page where all of my downline (1st – 3rd) are welcome. I offer my team free access to all of my custom designed project guides for personal use and/or to use with their customers. I try to be available to my team whenever anyone needs me via email, phone, Facebook, etc.

During my time with Close to my Heart, I had the honor of serving on the 2012-2013 CTMH Advisory Board, the 2015-2016 Product Strategy Committee, and teaching/presenting at 16 Conventions and other Corporate Events. I have received 11 awards for being a Top Team Builder in the U.S. I was privileged to be asked by the CTMH Corporate Office to record some Consultant training videos, design artwork for some of their publications, and design some of their workshop kits. I have earned 8 incentive trips and was blessed to be able to take my entire family to Hawaii a few years ago courtesy of CTMH. I feel truly blessed to be part of this amazing paper crafting community which is honestly more like a family to me!

I hope you enjoyed getting to know me a little better. Feel free to post questions here or contact me directly if you’d like to know anything else about me, Stampin’ Up!, or joining my team.

Have a blessed day!
Creatively Yours,
Lisa Stenz

This is my wonderful family.
