More OnStage Swaps & Team Gifts

I’ve got soo many great cards to share with you I’m not sure where to start – so today’s post  will be focusing on some of the cards I made during Sherrie’s Shoe box Swap again. All the sets can be found in our Annual Catalog.

This first one using the Floral Frames stamp set (146505/146508) we heat embossed the image and sentiment using White Embossing Powder and then used our Smoky Slate Blends Combo Pack (145058) to color in the images. So simple – but clearly beautiful as you can see.

And this next card uses the Friendly Expressions stamp set (146670/146673).

Done in Night of Navy and Granny Apple Green with a splatter of our Frost White Shimmer Paint (147046) I think the combination is quite striking.

These two were my favorites from today’s cards – but here are some more great cards too.

How about this fun and vibrant card using the Varied Vases stamp set (146644) and the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper (146289)?

And these next two cards are made using the Dandelion Wishes stamp set (146744/146747).

Or how about this one using the Hanging Garden stamp set (146236/146239) and color blocking?

And the final card today is one that uses the Enjoy Live stamp set (148190)?

Can you pick just one favorite? LOL! why not leave me a comment and let me know?

OnStage Team Goodies

And now a little more about OnStage Live in Orlando – I love making these little name tags for my team for event event, after all when there are over 6,000 of the same bag roaming around you want to make sure you can find it, right? And so here is what I came up with for this events bag tag.

Each tag had 3 special charms to commemorate the event plus a special charm that my fellow team member Sue made for the end of each.

She created such a lovely dragonfly charm for me with just wire, beads and pliers. She made it look sooo easy that I can’t wait to give it a try myself when I get a chance. Although something tells me it won’t be quite as easy as she made it look! But then that is the great part about being part of a team, we all have different strengths that we share with each other!

They really looked nice on our bags I think.

I also tried my hand at some special organizers for everyone that a fellow leader shared with me.

I love the way they turned out and the little post it holders with flags for marking our new catties!

And what can I say I was having way too much fun playing in my classroom – so everyone received a little OnStage Live Survival Kit too.

Filled with everything you might need for our 3 day event. I found this cute little list and adjusted it to my needs.

What can I say, I appreciate and value my team and the richness they bring to my life! They are truly a blessing.

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some more wonderful swaps and some of the display boards from OnStage too!

Country Road & More

I’m feeling a little bit country today and this set has a wonderful nostalgic feel to it for me and I almost missed it in the Annual Catalog. I’m a country girl at heart and grew up among the dairy farms of Wisconsin so these images remind me of my childhood and the country side dotted by red barns.

Today’s cards are done in our neutrals and make great masculine cards. This firsts card is done with Crumb Cake and Basic Black – a monochromatic card that is striking.

And this second card uses our new colors, Gray Granite and Merry Merlot along with the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper –

a bit of Silver Embossing and Silver Mini Sequins add a bit more texture to the card. Can you see the plants stamped in the background of the wheel and weather vain? It just adds a hint of interest and texture.

And how about this card done with the Artisan Texture, Enjoy Life and Stitched All Around stamp sets.

I love the way the Linen Thread is applied to the card strip – an easy technique, but it adds a lot of interest.

So, have a favorite? Why not leave me a comment and let me know which one you like and why?

Enjoy Life & Color Charts

I’m catching up from my Team Weekend Retreat this past weekend (but I’ll share more about that later this week), and so I thought I’d share some swap cards with you along with the final organizational item too.

These color charts allow you to see the colors by family in one handy place. You could also use this to see what you have since you can add each color as your collection builds.

Simply print these PDFs onto Whisper White Card Stock and start adding your cards stock, then stamp or add a swish with your marker – it’s quick and easy. I slide mine into a clear page protector. The charts also have the Item numbers.

COLOR REVAMP CHARTS Brights PDF

COLOR Revamp CHARTS Regals PDF

COLOR Revamp CHARTS Subtles PDF

COLOR REVAMP CHARTS Neutrals PDF

IN COLOR 2018 CHARTS PDF

IN COLOR 2017 CHARTS PDF

You can find more of my organizations items such as Labels, Designer Series Paper chart that contains card stock colors, Framelits Case Inserts, and Color Revamp tri-fold chart HERE and HERE  or simply click on the Organization category on the side for even more items and past years.

And now onto some cards – The Enjoy Life stamp set is one of our NEW sets that was inspired by one of our Million Sales Achievers – that’s a big deal, and Connie created a wonderfully inspiring set with some wonderfully uplifting sentiments.

Check out these beautiful cards made with this set. I think this first card is my favorite with it’s tie died coffee filter background.

And these two use our Watercolor Paper (122959) and Aqua Painters (103954) to create a wash of color – the first with ink pads for a bold feel and the second with our Watercolor Pencils (141709) for a bit softer look.

And finally a softer look done in our NEW In Color, Blueberry Bushel and So Saffron.

Notice the ribbon? No, we don’t have this ribbon in So Saffron, but it is easy to create the ribbon color of your choosing with a Stampin’ Write Marker and our 1/8″ Sheer Whisper White Ribbon (144172).

So different but yet all so beautiful.
