Onstage At Home 2020 - A Recap

 Last week on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday Stampin' Up! held it's annual convention for demonstrators.  When I first signed up to be a demonstrator more than 7 years ago, I had no intention of every going to Onstage.  Well, this year was my third year to be there.  However, due to Covid, this year we met virtually.  In true Stampin' Up! style, this year did not disappoint.  And thanks to the virtual platform, I captured better photos to share with you!

We started out Thursday evening with a concert by Pat Benetar and her husband, Neil Giraldo.

Their show was very entertaining and I've found myself going back to rewatch parts of it this week.  Pat Benetar's voice is still amazing!

We then moved into a mixture of awards presentations and new stamp set demonstrations.  The presentations were done by the million dollar sales achievers that helped create the stamp sets.

This year, thanks to my awesome team and my wonderful customers, I was awarded in two categories - Title Advancement and Leadership.

Two of the Million Dollar Stamp Set presentations were:

Hey Girlfriend by April Lopez

Pretty Perennials by Dena Rekow

On Friday, we saw a number of presentations by both members of Stampin' Up! Leadership.  And we had several break out training sessions. We finished up the day with a presentation from Brenda Ster, a favorite of the Stampin' Up! demonstrator community.  I'll have photos from Friday a little later.  We did some group stamping, so I'll be sharing what I made.

Saturday was filled with stamping presentations using new products by Stampin' Up! demonstrators.  

Ice Cream Suite

Sand & Sea Suite

And then it was time for the closing - and my favorite part of every Onstage.  No, not because it's over, but rather because it's time from Shelli & Sara to stamp together.  Shelli is the founder of Stampin' Up! and Sara is the current CEO.  They are mother & daughter.  And watching them stamp together is not only educational, informative, and entertaining, their bond is unmistakeable.

They demonstrated the Fine Art Floral Suite and had a wonderful time using the new Gilded Leafing Embellishment.  While I wish I could share their entire video presentation, enjoy these photos I captured.

I hope you enjoyed my look back at Onstage and the sneak peek at new products coming in January!  

Please join me Thursday evening on Facebook at 7:00 EST.  We will be making a couple of Christmas gift card holders.

The host code for November is QPJHDJ3K.   Please use this code when placing an order when your order is less than $150.00. If your order is over than $150.00, do not use the code.  Doing so would forfeit your earned hostess benefits.  You will still receive this month's ordering bonus from me.  

As always, let me know if there is anything I can do for you!

 

Happy Stampin'
