Guy Greetings & More

Today I wanted to share some of the swaps that I made in Sherrie’s Shoe box swap at OnStage. I enjoy this event and stamping with demonstrators from all over North America. It’s face paced, and fun since we swap 40 cards in 3 hours!

Today’s cards use stamp sets and other products that are all part of the Last Chance List and will be retiring in May. I’m really sad to see this first set, Guy Greetings (138825/138828) go. I love using it for those guys in my life.

It has a fun fold too.

I love the colors we used for this card – It uses our True Gentlemen Designer Series Paper (145593), Night of Navy 3/8″ Corduroy Ribbon (145597) and Tranquil Tide 1/2″ Finely Woven Ribbon too (144136). Rich bold and perfect for those dudes in our life.

And here is a fun card that has no stamping on it – Our Big Shot Celebration Duo Embossing Folders (142760) and Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies (137547) were used to create the bright bold card.

And how about this soft and subtle card a mask and sponging create this lovely focal point.

The final stamping was done in our Archival Basic Black Ink (140931) using our Thoughts & Prayers (128751/127805) and Touches of Texture (1419341/143251) stamp sets.

This next card uses the You’ve Got This stamp set (139572/139575) and it is done with our Watercolor Pencils and teamed up with our Fresh Floral Designer Series Paper Stack (144131).

And finally this bright bold card using the Pansy Punch (130698) and coordinating stamp set, Birthday Blossoms (139167/139471).

The sentiment is from our Picture Perfect (145519) set and the color palette is pulled from the Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper (144185). Can you see the stripes created with the Simple Stripes Embossing Folder (145648) on the Lemon Lime Twist background?

Our Last Chance List promotion is currently in full swing, so why not stop by my online store and see what items are going away at the end of May?

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing a fun nugget treat video tutorial I made for my 3d swaps at OnStage.

OnStage 2018 Annual Catalog Product Purchase Premiere Sneak Peek

My internet has been down for a couple of days since Windstream decided to flip a switch to upgrade me, but didn’t tell me LOL! Technology – got to love it right? Any how today’s post is going to be quick since I intended to share this with you on Friday and couldn’t.

I received my OnStage Product Purchase Premiere Preorder goodies and wanted to give you a sneak peek of what is coming! So I made this video to share-

I think you’ll love the new colors AND exciting news – we will have a Simply Shammy!!! We got to use it at OnStage and I loved it – it’s a reusable cleaning mat that makes cleaning our stamps effortless since it can get in all those nooks and crannies AND it durable since it is thick – no more lint or chemicals since you just add water. Good news – you’ll be able to store it in our stamp cases so it can go with you or sit nicely in your stamping space. Whoo hoo! No more baby wipes – can’t wait until June 1st to get one. Sorry I didn’t think to snap a really good pic so you could see it. But I did spy one on our Make n Take table LOL!

Want to see some more pics of OnStage – Atlanta?  Here are some more of our time Prize Patrol is always great fun – and Stampin’ Up! is always generous!

I can’t believe everything I received at OnStage I couldn’t fit it all in my bag!

We get to do some stamping –

And even got a sweet treat

Love the time together getting to meet new stamping friends and team time too

Color Revamp & CenterStage

Stampin’ Up! events are a lot of fun and because of you I’ve been lucky enough this year to attend CenterStage. This event is a special one since it is based on title and by invitation only.

We were pampered and given special training along with this color swatch ring. What does that mean for you? It means I get to share more with you of course – And I love to share with you!

So today I’ve whipped up a quick video sharing the Color Revamp  that is coming in the 2018 Annual Catalog – I thought seeing them “in person” would help. Of course you’ll be able to get your hands on them and play at my upcoming Catalog Kick Off (more details coming soon) and team meetings!

2018 COLOR REVAMP SNEAK PEEK VIDEO

So what do you think? Love them? The great news is we can use them all! Just because some of our favorite colors are retiring doesn’t mean we have to stop using them, the Color Revamp just means more options! So you can still stock up on your favorite colors, card stock and other items during the Last Chance promotion.

Here are some more pics from CenterStage for you. Check in says it all…

The tables were decorated with an 80’s theme and strobe lights of course were flashing. I was sporting my shoulder pads!

Here are some of my table mates – Susan and Sherrie

And of course the big reveal! I was so excited to see the 2018 Annual Catalog for the first time! LOL we all flipped to see if Lovely as a Tree was still in the cattie along with our personal favorites!!

And a group shot of my extended stamping family that was there at the event.

What a night – it was so much fun! Here’s a quick shot of the swag we received for the night! Stampin’ Up! is always so generous

What could be better? Doing what I love, Sharing what I love, and meeting wonderful folks like you!

Please stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing that project with you. Mean while as I posted yesterday –

It’s that time of year again!  It’s time to say good-bye to some products from the Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 Occasions and 2017-2018 Annual Catalogs.
