Beautiful Butterflies & More

If you haven’t seen this Bundle in the Mini Catalog, the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle (164615) is one that you’ll want to check out since it contains a fun movement shaped option along with a fun hybrid embossing folder with dies. It’s all part of the Beautiful Bokeh Suite (164619).

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.

It was created using the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper (164700) and Floral & Gingham Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper (164713).

And this next one uses the Smoky Slate, Daffodil Delight and Petal Pink color combination for a softer look.

Open the butterfly and you’ve got a fun fold that is sure to impress.

This next card teams up the small butterflies from the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder & Dies (164614) with the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper (161467).

That fun little window was created with the All Around it Dies (Online Exclusive 164725). And speaking of Online Exclusive products these next two cards use the beautiful black & white patterns from the Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 165545).

Last but not least today I’ve got a couple of 3d swaps for you. First is a fun little ruler holder

using the lovely Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper (164607) and Brass Butterflies (158136). And this last little 3d is a treat that holds a mini Ghirardelli square.

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.

Simply add VersaMark Pad (102283/102193) to your card stock, sprinkle with the embossing powder and heat. Voila! shinny frames that have kind of a patina look The sentiment is from the Unbounded Love Stamp set (163378). This next card uses the fun pack of Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper (164662) and it’s die cut pieces to create this simple note card.

This next card uses the Spotlight on Nature Bundle (163581) one of my favorite since the dies are so versatile. It also uses the

This card uses just two colors Memento Tuxedo Black and Misty Moonlight making it quick and easy. The Elements of Text stamp set (Online Exclusive 164774) that has been used behind the sentiment and image gives it some texture along with the Tinsel Gems Three Pack (161624).

These next to card use the Memorable Blooms Bundle (164826) and their color choice give them such different feels. This first card has a soft feel

and this next card that uses our Unbound Beauty Designer Series Paper (163372) has a more bold feel with its Petunia Pop and Summer Splash colors.

And check out this fun card using the Happiest Day stamp set (163605) who can resist this bright cheerful colors?

And for my last card today that I’ll be sharing with you the Thankful Garden Bundle (Online Exclusive 165534).

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.

#OnStage Swaps & More

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.

This first card uses the Meant to Bee Bundle (Scrapbook Brochure 167243)

Isn’t the Cute as Can Bee Designer Series Paper (Scrapbook Brochure 166621) cute as can bee? And I love that our products work so well together check out the cute little Tiny Bee Trinkets (164714) next to the sentiment for a bit more pop.

And how about these next 2 cards using the You are Remarkable stamp set (Online Exclusive 165445)

And how about another Online Exclusive Bundle? These two cards use the Year of the Flower Bundle (Online Exclusive 165375).

Simple stamping? or the addition of dies? Which do you like better? And last but not least here is an adorable take on the Etch a Sketch

using the Cutest Cows stamp set (162892) and it’s coordinating Cutest Cows Builder Punch (162896). The window was created with the Nested Essential Dies (161597). Cute idea? I think so of course for me the Etch a Sketch was a bust as a child, I couldn’t make much of a picture.

So there you so I’m going to be sharing swaps with you again tomorrow so stop on by and check them out!

Another OnStage After Hours Spotlight on Nature Card & More

Posted on by

Today I’m going to share another fun project that we got to do during the After Hours event in Houston for one of our Make n Takes.

This card uses a fun water color technique using our NEW color Basic Beige. Stamping the image using the Basic Beige allows the water coloring to look almost line free but still gives subtle detail. A pretty fun process I thought.

I’ve whipped up a video tutorial for you so you can make one too.

Spotlight on Nature OnStage After Hours Card Tutorial

Posted on by

Today’s card uses a favorite from the 2024 Annual Catalog, the Spotlight on Nature Stamp set (163579).

This set has some lovely images and all occasions sentiments and a versatile set of dies that coordinate with it.

We made this card during our After Hours event in Houston and Stampin’ Up! gave us a sketch that I’ve changed up a little bit and made my own for my Sketch Tool Ring I shared with you earlier. Make sure to scroll down since I’ll share it with you today too.

This will be the first of the 3 cards we made during the After Hours Event. But today here is the card we made using 2 of our NEW In Colors Summer Splash and Shy Shamrock. While they might look similar when apart, you can definitely tell the difference when layered together. I fell in love with the Summer Splash as soon as I saw it and wasn’t real sure about the Shy Shamrock, but am finding I really like using it in my stamping too.

Here is a quick video on how I put this make n take together for you along with the PDF with the supply list, measurements, and step by step instructions.

Spotlight on Nature OnStage Card Tutorial PDF

And of course here is my Card Sketch #27

And here is the PDF so you can make one too as a design tool too.

Card Sketch #27 PDF

Did you know my Card Sketches use different color combinations that can inspire you when you are stamping projects? Create them and add the colors to the back if you’d like and you’ll have color combinations and color swatches too of our card stock to create with!

On a personal note:

You may have noticed I didn’t post every day this week. I had some unexpected appointments that took a lot of time, so I wasn’t able to share like I wanted to. I’ll be having a procedure done next week, and may not be sharing quite as much as I normally do, but I have some things set up that I think you’ll enjoy.

Of course, I’m happy to help and I will be available, but might not be able to respond as quickly as normal.

Enjoy!

OnStage Swaps – Heartfelt Hexagon

Posted on by

today’s cards all use the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set (162882) and it’s coordinating punch the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch (162888).

This first card uses our retiring 2022-2024 In Colors and simple stamping to create a lovely birthday card.

And the bit of Linen Thread (104199) tied in a bow adds a nice little bit of texture. This next card uses the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper (Retiring 161640) to set the tone.

The Starry Sky 1/8″ Metallic Woven Ribbon (Retiring 159198) and Tinsel Gems Three Pack (161624) add a bit of shimmer to the sentiment punched out with the Lasting Label Punch (Retiring 158651) for a little different look.

These next three cards use the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder (162935) to create a subtle background for the sentiments. This first card is done in Sweet Sorbet and uses a strip of Gold Foil Sheets (132622).

While this next card teams the gold foil up with Very Vanilla and the Gold & Vanilla 3/8″ Satin Edged Ribbon (Retiring 159555) for a very elegant look.

And finally a monochromatic card done in Azure Afternoon and Starry Sky

A bit of the 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack (Retiring 161635) adds a pot of texture and shimmer with it’s stitched edge.

And on a fun note – I received my package from the Product Purchase Premiere from #OnStage Houston and am sharing my sneak peek video with you today.

So what do you think? Love the new items too? It’s just a peek of what’s inside the 2024 Annual Catalog! And as I am sure you can guess, being the first to see this new catalog or any of our new catalogs is a very exciting AND a  huge perk of being a Demonstrator – after all who wouldn’t want to be first, right?

#OnStage Fun & More

Posted on by

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 using the Circle Sayings Stamp set (Retiring 161348) for it’s sentiment and the fun Shutter Card Technique

The lovely Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper (Retiring 161192) is surrounded by our lovely Fresh Freesia strips. And this next card is the Gorgeously Made Bundle (161203)

And this next one uses some beautiful Stampin’ Blends and gold embossing powder to create a striking card.

The Enduring Beauty Bundle (162674), Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (Retiring 159237), Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (161600), and Adhesive Backed Dragonfly & Birds (Online Exclusive 162743).

And how about quick and easy? This next card using the Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper (161289) and Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder (162927)

creates a striking card. A bit of color added with the Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends adds some color to the sentiment and some texture has been added behind it with the 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim (161637) and Adhesive Backed Solid Gems (Retiring 161300). The last two cards today use the Cheerful Daisies stamp set (161290).

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?

More #OnStage fun and swaps

Posted on by

Today I’m sharing some of my swaps from #OnStage Houston using the Pets & More (Online Exclusive 163607) a set filled with fun animal images.

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.

This first card teams up the set with the Doggone Friendly Stamp (162729) using it as a backdrop highlighting this pooch.

The sentiment comes from the Sweetly Scripted Stamp set (Online Exclusive 163600). A few of our Adhesive Backed Solid Gems (Retiring 161300) add a bit of texture . And next we have this fun little card with a cut out

that was created with the Modern Oval Punch (162234). The pup has been stamped in Pecan Pie Classic Ink and uses the stamp off method to create different shades. A bit of Linen Thread (104199) as been used to create some interest along with the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper (Retiring 161640).

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!

#OnStage Houston and more

Posted on by

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.

This little treat uses our Excellent Eggs Bundle (Retiring 162808) and our Subtles Designer Series Paper (Retiring 161644). And this soft and sweet card also uses the Excellent Eggs Dies (Retiring 162807) in the background for the little bunny but has a totally different feel to it.

The sentiment has been punched out using the Double Oval Punch (Retiring 154242) and the sweet little bow was created using the 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack (Retiring 161635). Sweet, right?

And finally a bright and cheerful card using the Easter Bunny Stamp set (Retiring 160272) and Easter Bunny Punch (Retiring 160331).

Isn’t the little pompom adorable for the tail? Colored with Crumb Cake Blends to pull in the dry embossed background using the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder (160580) and cheerful Glorious Gingham 6×6 Designer Series Paper (Retiring 163170). The Stylish Shapes Dies (159183) were used to cut both the opening for the bunny and sentiment.

That’s it for the day. Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some more photos and swaps with you.

#OnStage & Swapping fun!

Posted on by

Wow, I just got back from another fun Stampin’ Up! event in Jacksonville and as usual it was a blast! It’s definitely wonderful to gather again after so long and the energy was high, even with having to drive through the tropical rains of the hurricane as I went south. lol You never know what weather will bring here in the south.

Anyhow, I thought I’d start by sharing some of the fun swaps that I received over the next couple of days from my fellow stampers. The selection covered a wide range and it’s always sooo much fun to see what everyone creates. I’m going to start with the 3d items, as they are what drew me to stamping in the first place.

This first one is so clever for the fall and thanksgiving

And speaking of fall here is a lovely card made with the Hello Harvest Bundle.

And this next one uses the Very Best Occasions and our sweet little Bells embellishments (159980)

along with a card using the same set.

And these next 2 cards use the Santa’s Delivery Bundle

The belly band on this card when removed reveals a fun fold card.

And how about some cards made with the Sweet Candy Cane Bundle?

And my final card today uses the Christmas Banners Bundle

Wow, right? That’s it for today, why not leave me a comment and let me know your favorite? Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing more from OnStage with you!
