Beautiful, right? And lots of texture built into this Designer Series Paper too with it’s hand painted look. I’ve got some fun cards to share with you today using this Suite. This first card, which was a team swap, uses a fun flower box fold to create a lovely pop up card.
It folds down flat for mailing but will stand on it’s own. The signature panel is on the inside of the card like a normal card base so you get the full effect when displaying.
Next I’ve got a card that uses the lovely Paper Butterfly Accents (162612). These paper butterflies are a lot of fun since you’ll get 5 different butterflies on each sheet.
You can add color to them and more. On this card they are used straight out of the package
Did you know that in flower language different color lilacs have different meanings? The purple lilac symbolizes spirituality while the white lilac represent purity and innocence.

Today I’ve got some more swaps to share with you that I got during OnStage in Houston. It’s a variety of sets and dies that were used to create the floral inspired cards that I’ll be sharing today, so there is a little bit of everything.
This first card uses simple stamping and this final one uses a quick and simple Faux Tile Technique. What’s that? It’s a simple grid of 1 inch squares created with your Score Board.
And now a little bit about OnStage Houston. Stampin’ Up! displays are always the best, bright, colorful, tons of texture, and of course new products. A winning combination for sure. During our mid day lunch we were also given time in the Product Playground which was filled with lots of displays and information including the two new kits that will be released on April 2nd. I think you’re going to love them, stay tuned for more information when they go live!
Here I am in front of our new In Color Glitter Paper display – wow you’re going to love this paper!
Ribbon, touch feel and tie – the new ribbon is lovely.
And how about some color combos?
Display boards for projects shared with us during presentations that were filled with creative inspiration and highlighted some of the new products.
During this event Leaders that attended also had a VIP lounge
that was filled with goodies and treats during the morning and afternoon. Even these fun logo refillable cups – perfect for coffee or tea on the go for the event which is always a hit!
What a great treat to be able to stop by, pick up something, or visit with others in a quiet area. Can you say feeling pampered? OnStage this year was fantastic!
If this is something you think you may enjoy why not join my team and join me next year in Raleigh?

This set is a reversable set that allows you to use the both the back side and the detailed front side too. Check out these lovely cards using the set.
And for the last card today here is a bright and cheerful card using a little Basic Rhinestones Jewels (144220) to add some bling to the colar.
After all Rhinestones make everything sparkle!
I think if you are a animal lover, you’ll love this set with it’s choices. And as someone who has just added 2 babies to our family I know it is a hit here in our house! Here is a picture of our pups Kona and Hana after their first official grooming at 6 months. The little one, Hana didn’t leave Kona’s bows alone long. lol
OnStage Houston was a lot of fun, yesterday I shared what we did the first day of the event, so today I thought I’d share a bit more. Of course the there was a lot of excitement as we got a copy of the 2024 Annual Catalog and our first peek inside the covers!
Swaps and swap boards are always a highlight of any Stampin’ Up! event.
And there were a lot of boards to get inspiration from
At lunch we got to play with some of our new products that are part of the quick & easy options from the new 2024 Annual catalog. A great new stamp sentiment set, Simply Said (163756) and our new Calming Creek Cards & Envelopes (163753), Labels & Layers (163764), and Fully Flowering Ephemera Packs (163762).
In addition we had an evening event to celebrate our achievements
and had a prize patrol for all attendees. The evening also
included some treats and a fun party afterwards – here was a view from our room. My husband was wondering what in the world was going on with all those flashing lights!
It was a full day to be sure with a lot of sharing, learning, and fun!

Whew. I’m catching back up after returning from Houston and the fantastic Stampin’ Up! event there. So today I thought I’d share some photos and some of the swaps I received during the event.
Stampin’ Up! outdid themselves with this event and the excitement was high – it’s been along time since we have been able to gather like this. My husband, Larry joined me for this event since we have family in Houston and would spend some time with them after.
Yep, that’s my cutie enjoying a bit of lazy river time on top of the Marriott with myself and other demonstrators before check in time for the event. He seemed to enjoy the energy that surrounded him and I had a hard time getting him to give me back my bag as I got ready for the General Session to start. Check out the goodies our Summer Splash trimmed backpack was filled with. A fun crafting bag tucks in the bottom and slides out through the pocket and a coordinating pencil “cup” bag in our new In Color Pretty in Pink.
A wonderful beginning for sure where I had a lovely opportunity to connect with some new stamping friends. A quick dinner at the Saltgrass Steak House with some yummy food
and then on to After Hours and some on hand stamping fun with new products from the 2024 Annual Catalog!
Hundreds of us filled the space for an full evening of stamping, laughter, and fun. Everyone was excited to see the new products and In Colors! They sure didn’t disappoint. I choose one of the Bundles, Spotlight on Nature (163579) that was offered since it has some great images and basic shape dies.
I’m looking forward to sharing these projects and more with you soon. Along with more photos from the event throughout this week.
Now how about some swaps? I thought I’d share of my Easter swaps with you since it is right around the corner. There were some really cute projects swapped for Easter here are a few that I received.
This first one is a fun little 3d treat holder that uses the Diaper Fold.
