Today’s cards have been created with products from the Floral Delight Suite (164716) found in our Mini Catalog. These cards are bright and cheerful with their pop of Daffodil Delight, their perfect for spring.
Today’s first card uses the color combination found in the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper (164700) to set it’s color scheme using two step stamping to create the focal point.
Little gems are used for the dots of the i’s along with another tiny bee while this next card adds Pool Party as a backdrop for the sentiment and a tiny bow.
This next card focuses on the Peach Pie in the paper and uses the Peach Pie 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon (163783) for texture and uses simple stamping. Love the paper in this Suite?

Today’s swaps all use this fun bundle but all have different takes making them a lot of fun. check out this first card using classic black and yellow.
The little wrap works like a book and the card stock measures 3 1/8″ x 2″ it has been scored at 1 3/4″ and 2″. A piece of Baker’s Twine creates the closure and is simply tacked to the back cover with some adhesive and then the chocolate adhere on top. The Die cut pieces using the Storybook Moments Suite (164681) decorate the cover. Cute, right?
#OnStage Wrap up –
I can’t tell you how much fun I have had over the last 16 years attending Stampin’ Up! events like this. While the format may have changed the experience hasn’t. Creativity, NEW products, sneak peeks,
and best of all gathering with Demonstrators from all over the world who love to paper craft like I do.
Meeting new friends is part of the fun. Here is a group we connected with at dinner the last night since reservations were hard to get. We had room at our table we asked them to join us and had a great time getting to know each other.

Today I’m going to share some more about #OnStageRaleigh and some of the wonderful swaps I’ve received, so this will be another longer post. lol Today I’m going to start with the swaps, but you’ll want to read all the way to the end since I’ll be sharing the NEW 2025 In Colors with you too!
Since it is the first day of spring I thought I’d start with cards that make me think spring. So I’m going to start with the cards I received with the Storybook Moments Suite (164681) as I have a fun 3d tutorial using this product that I’ll be sharing with you tomorrow. This first card the Storybook Friends Dies (164674) and our Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (165679) to create the fun frames that you see.
Done in blues these flowers make me think of my Mother-in-Law who always had them in her yard. Do you see the Two Tone Sparkle Gems (Online Exclusive 164633)? This gems are just beautiful in person and add a lovely hint of color with their two tones.
Now on to a bit about #OnStage, our first full day included sharing and learning about the new 2025 Annual Catalog and Online Exclusives that are coming soon.
In the evening we had a choice to participate in OnStage After Hours and play with the new products! Who can resist that?
As we gathered with new and old friends at our tables we crafted! Here are the cards I made that evening using the upcoming May Online Exclusive, Impressions Abloom stamp set (Online Exclusive 165605).
And here is one using the Turtle-y Awesome stamp set (165223) that will be available in the NEW 2025 Annual Catalog and is part of a suite
that my table mate made. Same sketch with a twist. Isn’t he cute? Watch for more coming on this sketch in my tutorials soon.
And of course you’ll be wanting to see the NEW 2025 In Colors, right? They are a beautiful sets of colors that I think you’ll enjoy adding to your current color selection.
In the order on the photo they are Darling Duckling, Timid Tiger, Cloud Cover, Strawberry Slush and Secret Sea. I’m thinking the Secret Sea is going to be a wonderful neutral to use in projects as it seems like it is almost black.
Stay tuned for color comparisons with our current colors as we get closer to the catalog launch.

Wow. I’m back and trying to catch up and catch my breath again after another fantastic Stampin’ Up! event in Raleigh. My mind is always a swirl with fresh ideas created by the inspiration of gathering with my fellow demonstrators.
As for many of you in the South who experienced the bad weather over the weekend I was glad it wasn’t worse driving back to Georgia on Sunday with the storm we arrived safely at home. The winds were kind of crazy for a bit as we drove across North Carolina but it could have been worse. It was horrible to hear of the loss that evening of so many lives as it moved across the south. Spring storms are definitely here.
Today I wanted to share some of the event with you through pictures. As always Stampin’ Up! creates a fun feel with lots of color. My husband walked over with me as we entered the convention hall and picked and stopped at registration.
He’s a cutie, isn’t he? I think Larry has enjoyed the change to join me for the last couple of OnStage events and is already asking about the next one Here I am with our bags
This year although I had my 16th Anniversary right before the event, I was able to celebrate my 15th Anniversary with my friends as we walked across stage together.
Stampin’ Up! had some fun ways to celebrate those milestones too with their displays and sneak peeks like this one with our photo opportunity.
It’s also always nice to see someone we’ve connected before in line and chat while we wait.
I actually was speaking with my table mate from the Maui Incentive Trip Luau, Betsy this time.
And of course what could be more exciting than getting the NEW 2025 Annual Catalog in our hands for the first time?
It’s a beautiful book with some of our favorite organizational items coming back that allow us to keep track of what we have and find things quickly. I love the way Stampin’ Up! listens to us and responds.
After our opening session we had a wonderful welcome party that included a silent disco and some yummy treats. This was a lot of fun with the 3 different genres we had to choose from. It was fun to people watch and move to our favorite tunes, what ever they might be.
They had told us to wear white for the evening and was that a sight, 2200 demonstrators dressed in white walking through the area. I think we turned some heads. I snapped this picture as we were starting to wind down and head back to the hotel. Wish I’d gotten one with the blacklights on earlier
While I’ll share some more photos of the event I thought I’d end my post with some of the fun swaps I received during the course of the event. I love to swap with my fellow demonstrators and see all the different styles and products.

I’ve been sharing my card sketches with you over the past months and today I’m going to share one of the ways I store them on my desk with this cute little crate I decorated.
I’ve used a inexpensive wooden crate that I found at my local dollar store to decorate and have given you a PDF that even has the labels that you can die cut in both black and Blackberry Bliss so you can choose how you decorate your little crate. Simply print the PDF you want on Basic White Card stock and go!
These card sketches are great for inspiration and having them handy on my desk makes it easy to get started!
I’ve punched a hole on them and put them on a ring to keep them together so they sit up nicely in my wooden crate.
Want to see how I decorated this crate? I’ve got a PDF and video tutorial for you so you can make them too!
If you haven’t seen my past sketches, you can start by checking out my Darling Dinos You’re the Best Card & video tutorial from Wednesday this week or click on Sketches in my categories to see them. Then stay tuned as I’ll be sharing more with you in time.
I hope you’ll enjoy this little 3d project and crate a crate of your own. This fun little project can hold all kinds of things!

Today I’ve got another tutorial sharing another fun card using the Darling Dinos stamp set (164728) and a Card Sketch I’ll be sharing with you too!
Today’s card uses the same Timeless Plaid 6×6 Designer Series Paper (164678) I shared with you on Monday and even yesterday too, but a different color pallet! I love the way we can do that with our Stampin’ Blends and a pack of our Designer Series Paper like this one. The color choices are endless.
Want to see the card?
I just love these little guys and they are a lot of fun to color! So without further ado here is the video tutorial and PDF too.
Did you know that I include my you tube link on the PDF for you too so that you can find it when you are ready to create. Simply print off the pdf that contains your measurements, supply list and even step by step directions!
As I mentioned earlier this card uses a card sketch.
Card sketches are a great way to create and be inspired when crafting. And as a tool I’ve create a PDF so that you can create one to keep on your desk. I’ve been sharing these with you over the past months so you’ll be able to see them in my Sketches Category if you missed some and want to see my others PDFs so you can create them all.
Meanwhile here is the PDF for today’s card sketch. I’ve also noted the Card Sketch on today’s card tutorial pdf too for your reference.
You’ll want to be sure to stop back by on each day this week as I’m sharing 5 tutorials with you. I’ll also be sharing a fun little 3d project that can sit on your desk that will hold these little sketches for you.
