Last week I shared the opening day of our Stampin’ Up! OnStage@Home event, as always these 3 days fly by too quickly. And while we weren’t together in person this year the chat rooms, personal messaging, and texts were fast and furious as we shared with each other.
Saturday was filled with creative presentations and break out classes. My head is still spinning with all the great information! In between we did some stamping with the Dragonfly Garden Bundle and products from the Dandy Garden Suite.
These projects were a lot of fun since they were quick and easy – Know that I’ll be sharing some tutorials with you for these cards and others for sure as we get closer to the catalog launch in January 2021!
Sara & Shelli’s closing time together is always one of the most enjoyable portions of the event for me. I love to watch the back and forth between mother and daughter it is filled with laughter and wonderful projects too.
And this OnStage@Home was no different. You could see they were clearly enjoying their time together as they shared some wonderful projects using the Fine Art Floral Suite of products which has a lot of fun elements!
I was sad to say goodbye as we wrapped up the event – but will be looking forward to sharing with my Team this Friday during our OnStage After Party!
One of the perks of attending OnStage@Home was being able to participate in a Product Purchase Premiere. Being the first to receive our copies of the Mini & Sale-a-bration brochure along with stamps and more!
I got my box today and thought I’d share some of the fun with you of the unboxing. The video is not the best angle, my Ipad which is my normal way of videoing is giving me fits and I haven’t been able to figure out why yet. Sigh… the love, hate relationship I have with it! But you’ll get the idea.

Whew! The week is flying by and tonight starts the Stampin’ Up! OnStage@Home event. I’m excited about this opportunity to gather with my fellow demonstrators from around the world. It’s sure to be a jam packed 3 days as always and while it is not a live event in Salt Lake as planned originally I’m just happy that I’m able to participate this way from home. Stampin’ Up! never disappoints at these events.
I didn’t want to spoil the surprise earlier this week, but by now everyone should have received their little goodies in the mail. So….. today I thought I’d share with you a fun project that I made as a gift for my team members that will be joining me for the OnStage@Home event. I just love the Quite Curvy Bundle so I started there.
I just couldn’t resist these sweet little birds and the fact that the sentiments curve along the die cut edges! So want to see what I made?
Here you go this soft and sweet note pad holders
I’m really pleased with the way they turned out and I had some sticky notes and flags that I thought went perfectly with this project too!
So what do you think? Want to learn how to make your own? While you may not have the same little flags and sticky notes I’m sure you can find some similar sized for your projects. Or how about a sticky note and mini calendar? The options are endless and I find that one of the fun things about creating a gift like this.
I’ve put together a video tutorial for you. It’s a bit longer than my normal videos, but it shows you the how to from start to finish. And as always I’ve given you a printable PDF with a complete supply list and step by step instructions.
Quite Curvy Note Pad Holder Video Tutorial
I’ve also got this great tip for cutting out your stamped images with our dies. Do you ever miss cut? I really hate that and this quick little tip REALLY helps!
How to Cut Die Cut Images Consistently Video Tutorial
So what do you think? Helpful? Why not give it a try and then leave a comment to let me know if you like doing it this way. Either way I hope this little tip helps you with your crafting too!
And now without further delay here is that printable PDF I told you about with the complete supply list.
To go along with the note book I created a little treat bag to celebrate the event using our fun 3×9 Gusseted Cellophane Bags (151312) filled with a variety of items.
After all who doesn’t appreciate a little treat bag too?
Enjoy!
Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some more OnStage@Home fun with you!

What fun it was using this new stamp set to create this card. This NEW Quite Curvy Variety Bundle (158396) has so many options too! I just love it’s curves and images that tuck right into them.
I’ve whipped up a quick card to share with you today using the Curvy Christmas stamp set along with the Curvy Die Case Insert for your organizational needs too. So you’ll want to read all the way to the bottom.
The Classic Christmas Designer Series Paper in this stack only uses 3 colors Cherry Cobbler, Sahara Sand, and Shaded Spruce so it makes it a great option for beginner stamps since you the 3 ink colors will give you all kinds of options for the holidays. AND the stack has 4 great patterns in all the colors making it easy to create a bunch of cards too.
Want to see how I made this card? I’ve put together a video and pdf for you today
AND if you want a case insert to put these dies into that matches your stamp set and other die case, you’re in luck while this die set will be available in the 2021 January – June Mini Catalog I’ve got one for you today so you don’t have to wait!

Want a bright cheerful fall thank you card? The Poppy Parade just screens maple leaves to me with it’s bright cheerful color. Team it up with the In Color Bumble Bee and I think you have a winner. Check out this card I made for this month’s Thank You cards.
Makes you smile, right? I’ve whipped up a quick video and pdf tutorial for you so you can bring a smile to someone’s day too! Why not check it out?
Beautiful Autumn Thank You Card Video Tutorial
I love having the measurements printed out so I can refer to them also, so here is a PDF for you. And of course all my tutorials include the link to the video on them for easy reference when you are ready to craft.
Have you ever wondered why I include both the ink pad AND refill number in my PDFs? Well back when I started stamping I only purchased the ink pads and then when I needed the ink refill I didn’t have them. Lesson learned, now I always suggest purchasing them together – no headaches when you need to them and are in the middle of the project your making. AND even more fun there are some great techniques that use those reinkers by themselves too!
Enjoy and you’ll want to make sure to keep reading until the end for the supply list.

Yesterday I shared the Home Decor project that we made at the Peak Princess event this past weekend, today I thought I’d share the little treat item that I made.
They are filled with these fun fall Hershey’s Kisses that I found locally.
I just love the colors of the candy – yes, I do shop for candy that way. (My daughter thinks this is a pretty crazy way to shop for chocolate, but she is always on the hunt for me too!)
These treats were quick and easy to make for everyone. I have whipped up a quick video so you can make some to if you’d like.
Beautiful Autumn Tiny Treat Box Video Tutorial
And of course it’s always fun to have a PDF that contains a complete supply list for projects. So here it is.
I also mentioned I’d share some more photos so here are a couple from the classroom.
This last picture is of the Sweet Potato Crostini I made for the event. The marshmallows spent a bit too much time under the broiler I’m afraid. Don’t you hate that? But they were still quite tasty.
They were a big hit with my guys so I thought you might enjoy the recipe – they are light, tasty and easy to do.
Sweet Potato Crostini
2 T. sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
24 slices 1/4″ thick French bread baguette
2 to 3 T butter, melted
Topping:
2 c. mashed sweet potatoes
1/4 c. chopped pecans
3 T. packed brown sugar
2 T. butter, melted
1 1/4 c. miniature marshmallows, halved
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix sugar and cinnamon. Arrange bread sliced ona baking sheet. Brush with butter; sprinkle with sugar mixture. Bake until lightly browned, 5-7 minutes. Remove from oven; preheat broiler.
Mix sweet potatoes, pecans, brown sugar, and butter; spread over toasts. Top with marshmallows, pressing lightly. Broil 3-4 inches from heat until marshmallows are lightly toasted, 1-2 minutes.

This past weekend I gathered with my Team, The Blue Mountain Stampers for a special biannual event. This event allows us to gather and celebrate everyone’s accomplishments over the last 6 months. We have a special project, along with prizes, and appetizers. So today I thought I’d share our project that we made.
This project was a lot of fun to make and everyone’s turned out differently since they could decide on which patterns they wanted to use. Here is mine.
I really love the colors and patterns of the Gilded Autumn Suite of Products and so I couldn’t resist making a home décor item with them. I also really love the way the little swirls of copper ribbon finish off this project. They are so easy to make – I bet you are wondering how I made them too!
You’ll need a wooden skewer or dowel along with your heat tool and Heavy Spray Starch. Yep, that’s it! You’ll also need a bit of patience as you make them since it does require some dry time tho. I’m not sure how they would hold up outside, but since I’m planning on using this project inside my home I wasn’t worried about our heavy Georgia humidity of late.
Want to see how we made them? Here is a video for you.

I’ve also included a link for the pumpkins and PDF pattern on this Tutorial for you.
Want to make some of these too? Here is the information on the wooded pumpkins for you that I found on Amazon along with a PDF pattern for this pumpkin.
I really love these gatherings we have a lot of fun together and it’s a great time to share what’s been happening in our lives, and relax too. Here are a couple of pictures for you of some of the finished projects.

The 4th of July is this weekend and we have a couple of family birthdays coming up so I reached for the Blossoms in Bloom stamp set and my Stamparatus. I really like this stamp set with it’s bold watercolor feeling images. The set has some great all occasions sentiments in addition to the birthday one I used for this project and since it is 2 step gives me a lot of great options.
Check out this card using the set that I’ve done in red, white and blue so it have a patriotic feel to it.
I love the way it turned out. The fact that this set is a Distinktive set make it soooo easy to create this wonderful card. Check out this quick video I made for you.

Today’s card is made with our In Good Taste Suite of products – as soon as I saw this suite I knew it would be one I’d reach for again and again. Not only does the stamp set have some great sentiments in a lovely font, it also has some wonderful collage type stamps which I’m always looking for to build layers of texture and interest on a card.
And the Dies! What can I say…. I love basic shapes that I can use with multiple stamp sets and this set is fantastic with their stitched edges and embossed details.
Today’s card is quick and easy since it uses the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper as a back drop. I love paper like this that has texture and versatility making it great for masculine cards too.
I’m thinking the Bumblebee and wood give this card a rather country feel to it. What do you think? Gingham always reminds me of my childhood summers, so I’m excited to have a couple of gingham options in this catalog.
Here is a quick video for you along with a PDF that includes a supply list and measurements too.
