What can I say??

Jackie and her team are just plain awesome. I think I've only missed two retreats and am so happy when I get to join them and stamp, the Simple Way, that's all me. Thank you to the whole team, Connie, Sharon and Brandy too, it's a great time of learning.

Summer Retreat

I have attended all of the retreats and plan my schedule around retreat dates! I have been stamping 30+ years and still learn so much watching Jackie, the simple stamper queen, Brandy the out of the box queen, Connie, the box queen, and Sharon the technique queen! I love how I can go back and try something new with the videos and PDFs. Each retreat is a gift I give myself which I in turnI share with others!

Jackie is so generous in sharing her time & talents!

Jackie is a terrific demonstrator, and such a generous person! She happily shares tips and creative ideas with anyone, regardless of whether they're a demonstrator or her customer, or someone else's. I have benefitted from Jackie's creativity and sharing for several years, and as a semi-orphaned hobby demonstrator, her generosity means a lot! And the Creativate Retreats are incredible! I've attended every last one, and look forward to the next!!

Creativate Spring 2025 Retreat

I have attended all the retreats and just when I think they have to run out of ideas, Jackie and the team come up with new and gorgeous layouts. The retreats are fun and their videos and tutorials are well thought out and thorough. Jackie does a great job not only during this creativate retreat but also on a daily basis - sharing her knowledge and expertise with all of us. Her layouts are easy and simple to follow.

Wow, another great retreat. I am hooked. The new projects and cards are completely new and unique. I can't wait to try everything. I'm definitely signing up for the Spring retreat.

Winter 2025 Retreat

I've attended every Creativate Retreat and each one has been superb. While I always think it's the best, I believe this was the best one yet! Loved the techniques, the card layouts and Connie's box gives me impetus to make a box! Thank you ladies for sharing your talents with us and giving such easy to follow instructions. Looking forward to the next one in April.

Fall Creativate retreat

This is the first time I've attended a retreat. I can't tell you how fun it was for me! I loved all the demos; all were a reasonable length of time, and there weren't so many that I felt overwhelmed. I'm just starting to try some of the ideas presented - the written tutorials are excellent. I follow Jackie but was happy to be introduced to the other demonstrators. I'll definitely be signing up for the January retreat!

Margie Howard

Great retreat!

2024 autumn retreat was terrific. Lots of great ideas and inspiration. Jackie always has the best cards simple but big bang for your buck!!!. I really enjoyed how theses demonstrators are different but so imaginary. Will definitely sign up for the 2025 winter retreat!

You Are Why I Always Attend The Retreats

I so much enjoyed the 2024 Fall Retreat as I do each one. They keep getting better and better. I am always excited to see the new fun you have in store for us, Jackie! I love the way you explain each card, show us the instructions, and are always real! You have told us that it's okay to make mistakes, how to fix them and even shown us in real-time when you have made a mistake. You are my inspiration, young lady! Thank you for being YOU.

Love your enthusiasm

Jackie, first of all, I just love you and I love your energy, enthusiasm and encouragement that you continue to give everyone. You continue to help us to keep our creative juices flowing. You are the first demonstrator I watched when I got the card making bug in 2021 and I have stuck with you because of your character, sense of humor and your ease in instructing others. I get very excited for the retreats, so keep them coming. ❤️

Lavena Johnson

Thank you for you

Hi Jackie, I just want to thank you so very much for your positive attitude and enthusiastic instruction. Your teaching is concise, yet thorough and interesting . You have been a great source of information and inspiration to me. I have so benefited from the YouTube videos which you (and Dave) do so well. I love the fun fold and card template classes. The card ideas are so helpful to me as a demonstrator. God’s blessings. Raye

To the creative team, You are awesome. You have cards for beginners, intermediate and advance. Your instructions are easy to understand and will take to explain how to emboss, use stamping up products. I can’t say enough how awesome you are. I have been to several of your retreat and will be back . I have followed you on your blogs. I have suggested to new stampers, to follow you to get new . Planning to see you in the Fall.

Creativate Goodness!

Jackie & all the Ladies, were great. Like visiting with long-time friends. Excellent ideas, clear instructions, enthusiastic teachers. I would like to see "class time" extended to 45 minutes per session. Maybe ways to modify the projects or even a second card. Offering pre-retreat challenges, a facebook page to share photos and, most of all, the tutorials are superb benefits of these Retreats. Thank you!! # 16 Creativate, here I come!

Fall Retreat

Jackie, I would like to thank you so much for everything I learned on your Fall Retreat. I rejoined Stampin' Up a few years ago after taking a 10 years hiatus. Your retreat filled me with so much enthusiasm. I was unable to attend the live presentations, but I was fully prepared with all the findings for all the projects ready to do. Thank you to you and your team for a great Retreat!

Fall Retreat

Thank you for putting on the Fall Retreat. I have been busily making all the cards, although at a much slower pace than you all! I'm looking forward to competing all of the projects for the rest of this month. It's been fun finding alternative stamps and paper for those projects that use items I don't own. The possibilities are endless!

Klompenstampers Leader

I am a demonstrator under Jackie Bolhuis. I could not ask for a better "up-line" demonstartor. She sends out timely e-mails at least weekly to keep us informed of all that is going on at StampinUp. She generously gives us many tutorials of cards ( both simple and advanced). She not only gives great support to those stampers who have gotten into stamping for a business but also to those of us who wish to remain "hobby stampers."

Marcia Slotman

HOLLAND, MI , mi

Love being on the Klompenstamper Team!!

Why?? Because I can find great new ideas, always get my questions answered in a timely manner, we’re always kept up to date on what’s happening, and it’s just fun!! Thanks Jackie!!!

Why Jackie is so great

Jackie is a great leader. She doesn't care if you are running a business or are a hobby demonstrator. She treats everyone with the same respect. She is generous with her time and knowledge. She encourages everyone to try new things.

Deborah McLain

Why I love Jackie and being a klompenstamper

I am strictly a hobby stamp. I never have had any intentions of building a business, but I love to stamp. I joined Stampin Up under Jackie 5 years ago. Through Jackie I have learned lots of new techniques that have taken the quality of my card making beyond what I would have on my own. I feel proud of my abilities. Klompenstampers has given me a sisterhood of wonderful people who support and celebrate each others’ triumphs and challenges.

Team Klompenstampers

Jackie is a fantastic leader. She provides us with numerous opportunities to learn, grow and makes sure we are informed and challenged. As a member of her team, we have access to her tutorials and the opportunity to earn a free registration to the fantastic creative retreats. The benefits are numerous and I am happy to be on her team. I am a hobby demonstrator and I have the same access to resources as a business builder demonstrator.

Pat Zurga

Join Jackie's team as a hobby stamper!

Jackie is fantastic! I am a hobby stamper and just like having the discount. She does not pressure me to build a business at all, yet makes all the information and opportunities available in case I want to change my mind. This also helps me as a shopper, because I will know of upcoming sales and opportunities ahead of time, so that I can do my own planning. I also get access to all her past card templates!

Becky Anderson

Klompenstamper Team member

Being a part of the Klompenstamper's team is like a family. No matter why you joined Stampin' Up! everyone is valued and supported.

She has knowledge, skills and maturity in Stampin'Up! that oozes in humility and kindness to her team. Join for the discount, stay for the fun!

Joining the Klompenstampers

Being part of Jackie's amazing Klompenstampers community was an unexpected benefit of joining Stampin' Up!, but it is one of the most valuable benefits! Jackie works hard to give her team members lots of opportunities to grow in crafting friendships, get card making inspiration, gain the tools needed to share Stampin' Up! as a business and just be encouraged. It really does matter which team you join!

Online Retreat #14 is in the books, but the ideas, sketches, team enthusiasm continues. I never walk away disappointed or lacking because I have great projects and they’re accompanying tutorials to refer to forever. One of the biggest benefits is the wide range of projects and level of difficulty. Jackie’s projects are clean lines and simplicity and hers are my first to be finished. I’m excited to use her card ideas in my next month card class.

This is my second time for this retreat. I just love the projects, the videos, and the tutorials. The team is well organized and the projects are challenging yet very doable. I thought the idea of registration to the next retreat as doorprizes was excellent. I didn't win, but it is still a good idea.

Debbie Patrick

Best retreat ever!

I have subscribed to all the retreats except for the first one.. All of them have been wonderful, and represent a lot of hard work on the part of the Creativate Team. However, this one, Summer 2023, was just the BEST! I loved all the cards and projects, found them to be very creative and detailed, yet easy to understand and make. I always look forward to all the cards , especially all the “fancy” 3-D fun folds. Thank you for a delightful weekend!

I've stamped for many years and am amazed at some of the techniques are new to me--the pinwheel was my first ever to attempt. The projects are very well explained and demonstrated, and the tips shared are so helpful. Can't wait for Creativate 15 in October!.

Spring Retreat 2023

I want to thank all of you for the well organized, interesting, and challenging retreat. I really enjoyed having the project instructions ahead of time to read them, print them, and use them to follow along so I could understand the parts I couldn't at first. Now I can make the cards on my own without too much trouble. Trouble is, they are all so beautiful that I don't where to start first! I can't wait until the next retreat! THANKS AGAIN

The retreats get better every time. That is tough to do when they started out from excellent. I love the wide variety of easier and beautiful to more pieces and stepped up projects. Something for everyone. It’s been hard the last 2 months as I lost 3 longtime friends. These two days of creative inspiration is just what I needed. Thank you for your patience explaining the aspects of each of your projects. Made templates to keep it going.

Fastastic!

This is my fourth or fifth retreat and each one gets better! I like the pace with breaks in between presentations. It is great to see three samples of each project and so helpful to include a masculine card. Also fun to see what each of you had done with the early challenges. I got so many good ideas and your presentations and videos make them doable! It certainly helped me decide on some stamps that I now have to have! Thanks for all your work!

I really enjoyed all of the projects in this Retreat and have already completed the pinwheel card you presented and will be starting the rest of the projects on Monday of next week. It is such a great time spending virtual with all of the presenters and their projects and I have really enjoyed watching the lives that I could. I will be going back to watch the replays of those I couldn’t watch earlier.

This retreat by Jackie, Connie, Brandy and Sharon was awesome. I have attended all of their retreats and just when I think what more could they do, they surprise me and do so many new presentations. Their videos, tutorials and tips are well done and one can learn so much from attending. They do an outstanding job and I take away so many great new ideas. Keep them coming!

Betty Sokolosky

Spring 2023 Retreat

Another amazing retreat! It is so great that we can watch live or after the retreat, whatever we like to do. The tutorials are awesome and the price is extremely reasonable. I also like that it is more about templates and ideas rather than specific stamp sets, which makes the information so much more useful.

Tammy Wilgenbusch

Spring Retreat

Jackie, along with team of Sharon Armstrong, Brandi Cox and Connie Stewart presented and inspired me to reach for my creativity and make some special cards. Their professionalism and enthusiasm shone through their card tutorials presented in print as well as video. The two options covered both types of "learners." Jackie kept in contact via email through the weeks leading up to the event as well as after. THANK YOU Jackie!!! You are amazing!

WOW! It seems each Retreat gets better than the last. All you ladies out-did yourselves at Retreat #13. Totally love that we are now YouTube viewers vs. Facebook. So good to see Aunt Gertie at the end. What a surprise. All the pre-retreat challenges and live presentation of projects give me more ideas how to use the stamps, inks, and paper I have. The Creativate Team gets a standing ovation from me. Looking forward to the next Retreat.

The retreat was outstanding! I'm impressed with the entire online setup. It is well organized and easy to use. The projects were wonderful! I learned a lot and got a lot of inspiration. it is great to have replay opportunities for those of us who need a refresher or weren't able to watch the lives. The price was just right!

Creativate 13

Fun way to learn. Everything tech worked and kept me focused . All presenters were comfortable sharing/teaching their portions of the retreat. Was able to "make along with" because tutorials were available prior to beginning the event and I could precut materials and follow along as well as add notes onto the print out. Pre-event challenges were fun and loved being able to see what others made . Will be back for more.

Creativate Spring Retreat & Jackie

Jackie is an incredible ‘stamping ambassador’ for StampinUp! She’s wonderfully creative, an excellent & enthusiastic teacher & such a generous soul. I first found Jackie through YouTube videos and began following her. When the first Creativate retreat came along, I signed up without hesitation & I’ve now attended all 13! They’re so well organized, full of beautiful, creative projects & tons of little tips! And the atmosphere can’t be beat!

Karen Bussa

13 Retreats and each one a "knock-out!"

So much inspiration!

Just finished watching the Creativate Retreat videos. So much inspiration! The style of each one of the team is so different which means you get to see such varied projects. I love the website format, especially for those who can’t always watch everything live. Plus the awesome written tutorials with a link to videos will always be a valuable resource. Can’t wait to get creating!

Winter Retreat

I had such a fun time with Jackie and her team. I loved the cards and found some interesting techniques to try in the next couple of weeks. I am definitely going to try quilting with paper since I do not sew. I appreciated the downloads beforehand so I could follow along and the access to the videos since I had to look at the folding process for the corner fun fold. Thanks for a great time.

WINTER RETREAT 2023

I have not attended all the retreats, but of those I have this was the most fun. There were a few uh-oh moments, but each demonstrator brushed it off and went on to fix it. I learned a lot of tips and love the tutorials to try. I look forward to Jackie's Fun Fold classes with husband Dave each month and am building my 'shoe box' with samples. This is an invaluable tool as I use them ALL the time. Thanks, Jackie for all your work.

Review of Winter Retreat

Jackie, I love your classes and especially loved the entire retreat. Even though I couldn't print a thing (new computer wasn't communicating with printer), I watched every session.

Winter Retreat and Jackie Bolhuis

I really enjoyed the retreat. I was impressed that all the demonstrators just went with the flow when something didn't go as planned. Very talented demonstrators. I also like Jackie's tutorials because she gets right to them. Very imformative and I got a lot of ideas and suggestions I never would have thought of. I need to think more "out of the box." Thank you so much for the retreat. You all did a great job.

Creative and Responsive

I found Jackie on Youtube during the COVID shut down( March 2020). She inspired me with her clean and simple 'Stamps, Ink and Paper' card making series. I made hundreds of cards and donate many, gave away many to friends and family and began sending out handmade cards for special occasions and as encouragement as we weathered that scary time. Jackie and her team are responsive to customers and I love Jackie's approach to card making. Thanks!

Jackie is very helpful and sends out frequent videos on cardmaking and Stampin Up merchandise. She is quick to answer questions and goes beyond by sending cards in appreciation. A great demonstrator.

Outstanding Demonstrator

Jackie Bolhuis is an exceptional demonstrator! She keeps me informed about new products and Stampin Up! specials, She provides a new catalog walk-through that is very helpful, and I count on her card ideas to be quick to make, yet impressive. Her videos are easy to follow and adding her husband to some of the videos has been a delight! She is outstanding!

Jackie Bolhuis

What an awesome demonstrator. Jackie always has easy to follow card making ideas. She is always their for me when I need help and answers all questions quickly, sometimes after business hours. I started watching videos in December 2021 and placed two or so large orders in January 2022. That's how impressed I was with Jackie. As of September 2022 I've spent somewhere in the amount of $2000 worth of Stampin'Up products and still want more.

Great Demonstrator

Jackie is a wonderful demonstrator. She always shares such lovely projects with easyto follow directions. She also makes sure that whatever project she is showing can be adapted to use with what you have on hand. I love her videos, especially her new series where her husband is making the card following her directions so that you can see how you can manage to follow her directions easily as well. Always helpful and appreciative.

Great Demonstrate

I searched Stampin Up for a demonstrator and found Jackie. I enjoy her style of card making. I enjoy her classes. I enjoy her classes with her husband. She does such a good job that she makes me want to make cards all of the time. So thankful that she is my demonstrator. Sharon

I love Jackie

She presents her demonstrations with good cheer and encouragement. She explains things well making you KNOW you can do it, too. I like how she reminds me that I can use stamp sets other than the one she is demonstrating, so I don't get discouraged when I don't have that one (yet). She is innovative,, for example the monthly series on fun folds with her husband. I also appreciate how quickly she answers questions or solves problems.

Jackie is so easy to talk to and is very efficient. Her tutorials get to the project without a lot of extra chit chat (I prefer that). She is very good at making cards that look really good but don't require a lot of time. She is tops!!

Review of Jackie Bolhuis

Jackie does the most amazing YouTube videos of designing and making cards using SU products. I have learned so much from her over the years and I have purchased many of her card making tutorials. She is smart, informative, talented, interesting, and fun to watch. And she always makes such wonderful cards and teaches her audience how to make them too.

Jackie Bolhuis Review

I like her. She is a very good demonstrator--explains things that newbies like myself can understand. She doesn't push products. Her card recipes mostly can be used with any stamp set. She presents her videos well and doesn't chit chat too much. I have learned a lot from her, through her videos and her posts on Pinterest.

Love Jackie!

I just started stamping and card making in July, 2022. In addition, I'm not a crafter. So, I have found Jackie's Basics videos fabulous! I have a friend who has. been using Stampin Up for several years and could not answer my question. But ... Jackie's videos answered them! While I've moved passed the "basics", I continue to learn more every week from her. I highly recommend Jackie.

Jackie Bolhuis

Jackie has been my preferred demonstrator for over 2 years now. (That's when I got started in card making.) I love to watch her videos to learn as well as pick up ideas to try later. The few times that I've gotten in touch with her personally, she has always answered back promptly! She has a great personality and likes uncomplicated card making. If you don't have a demonstrator, give Jackie a try. I think she's awesome!
