On Stage Make and Takes

During OnStage there are several stamping make and take opportunities for attendees.  This is one of my favorite activities because we get to stamp with people at our table and we get to use new products!  So much fun! 

Here are the make and takes I made.   **Sneak peek alert****

Stamp set:  Forever Blossoms

(Special note:  Petal Pink 1/4" Metallic Edge Ribbon and Label Me Fancy Punch)

Stamp Set:  Timeless Tulips

(Special Note:  Tulip Builder Punch)

Stamp Sets:  Painted Poppies and Peaceful Moments

(Special Note:  The ribbon on this card is Whisper White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon.  The ribbon itself was stamped with the splatter stamp from Painted Poppies.  It's a very cool look!)

Stamp Set:  Dressed to Impress

(Special Note:  the super cute coordinating Best Dressed 3" x 3" Note Cards and Envelopes)

I hope you've enjoyed this look at some of the new products that will be available beginning January 3, 2020!

Free Skate

Hi there stampers!

I've been home from OnStage for a week, and wrapped up another terrific craft show yesterday.  Now I finally feel like I'm back on track!  Do you ever feel like that?  You're working so hard to get caught up?  That was me, but now I can take a deep breath and relax a little!

For today's card I pulled out a stamp set that has been calling my name.  Free Skate.  I love both the artwork and the sentiments in this set.

Here's the card I made to share with you today.

When we were kids, some friends of the family lived next door to their neighborhood tennis courts that were flooded every winter to make a skating rink.  Santa brought us new skates one year so we could skate on that rink when we were visiting our friends.  We weren't very good - in fact I was pretty bad, but we had fun!  I bet you have fun memories like that, as well.

Winter Gifts

Hello stampers,

When I got back from OnStage I had a treat waiting for me - the November Paper Pumpkin kit, Winter Gifts!  I truly have not had one minute to make cards this week.  I have another big craft show this weekend and I needed to replenish a lot of my stock after the last show 2 weeks ago.  Normally that wouldn't have been an issue, but I had several days "off" for our trip to Las Vegas.  Not that I'm whining, but I miss the relaxation I get from just stamping.  Anyhow, I digress.  I took a few minutes to make up one of each of the 4 adorable tags in the kit.

Aren't they great?  I'm really looking forward to sitting down to make the rest of them - next week!

Now is the time to subscribe in time to receive the December kit, Something for Everything.  December’s Something for Everything kit includes a super-versatile stamp set complete with 13 sentiments that can be used for occasions ranging from wedding, to get well, birthdays, and more! Plus, the three full-sized card designs (four of each) are gorgeous AND multiuse!

To get started, click here.

OnStage Recap

Last weekend I attended Stampin' Up!'s OnStage event in Las Vegas, Nevada.  I had a great time there - met some new friends, received some great training, got new catalogs, and even brought home some new products!  Take a look, with me, as I recap the day.

As we gathered at around our table, we shared gifts and looked with anticipation at the projects (marked 1 and 2) in front of us!  (St Louis friends, notice the Gooey Butter Cookies from Dierbergs on the table!)

Every attendee receive this backpack decorated with images from the upcoming Painted Poppies product suite, a pack of pens, trading pins, a button with our number for Prize Patrol, our name badge, a notebook, and a new stamp set!  

There were a lot of us in that room!

And we received prizes!  The Designer Series Paper pack is from the new Country Club Suite and was an all attendee give away.  The Forever Blossoms stamp set is from the new Parisian Blossoms Suite.  I won that set when my number was called during Prize Patrol.  During one Prize Patrol drawing, the winners received two stamp sets.  They had to choose one and give the other away to a stranger.  Mary Quast from Plainfield IL was a winner and she chose me to gift Breathtaking Bouquet!   Thank you, Mary!!!  (Wait till you see what Mary made for swaps--I'll share them next week!)  

And we all received the new January-June 2020 Mini Catalog and the Sale-a-Bration brochure!  We were so excited to get them and there were so many ooo's and aaaa's as people started flipping through them!

Throughout the day, we saw many product demonstrations and we got to make cards ourselves.  At the end of the day, the supplies used for the make and takes are divided among the people at the table.  This is my "haul" from the supply box.  Take a look at that ribbon.  I promise you'll see it a lot!  It's Petal Pink ribbon with champagne metallic edges!  Woohoo!  The champagne foil is my favorite of all the foils!  

Are you interested in joining me next time?  Reach out to me today to get the conversation started!  And thanks for joining in for my recap of OnStage.  It was truly a great event, and as always, Stampin' Up! spoiled us!
