Dragonfly Garden Mix It Up Series #1 final Tutorial

Today marks the end of my Mix It Up Series Series #1 and it’s final project. This week I’ve been sharing with you cards all made with the same pieces, just mixed up. This technique is a fun and quick way to create cards quickly. Whether your new to stamping or a avid crafter like myself you’ll find this series a great way to craft.

Today’s card once again uses the classic Misty Moonlight and Bumblebee combination. Since it uses just 2 ink pads it’s a great way to start building your color collection. And since they both are part of our 2020-2022 In Color Collection you can choose our Cardstock Assortment pack since it contains all 5 colors in the In Color collection.

Done in a landscape layout it with simple stamping – this sentiment is a great way to spread some cheer.

Here is my video tutorial and a printable PDF also for you. Did you know that each of my PDF tutorials not only gives you a complete supply list, measurements, and step by step directions as a companion to the video but it also includes the YouTube link? Yep, they do – that makes it simple to keep everything in one place!

Mix it Up with Dragonfly Garden

Today I’ll be sharing the first card tutorial in a series of tutorials. It’s a series of tutorials that I’m calling – Mix It Up. All the cards in this Series use the same pieces in different ways. So you can cut once and create multiple cards. I had hoped to share this concept that was introduced to us at OnStage@Home last year, but after I filmed and downloaded things they got lost in my computer. I didn’t realize it until I was cleaning up things in my classroom. Sigh. But the good news is I’m sharing them with you now.

So here is the first card in Series #1 – there will be 3 different tutorials in each Series

This series of cards is done in Misty Moonlight and Bumblebee Classic Ink – a classic color combo.

I’ve got a video and PDF for each of the cards in the series –

And if your wondering you can get a bunch of dragonflies out of this stack of Designer Series Paper – here is a quick look at how I cut it to get the most out of the sheet when using the punch.

Enjoy and then stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing the second of 3 cards with you.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Dragonfly Garden (*154411)

Inks: Misty Moonlight (153118/153124) and Bumblebee Classic Ink (153116/153122)

Team Fun at the OnStage@Home After Party

I love sharing with my team and coming home after a Stampin’ Up! event is no different. While this year we gathered virtually we still were able to gather for an After party and share the excitement of the NEW 2021 January – June Mini Catalog.

So I created these cute little flag holders using the Quite Curvy Bundle (156228) that is currently available. I just love these little sweet birds!

I used the colors from our OnStage@Home swag so everything coordinated

and was able to put the logo on the inside of these folders with the little flag sticky notes. We are going to need lots of sticky notes!!!

I also put together some little charms using some images from the stamp sets, the catalog, and logo. Each one was a bit different

but they all had one thing in common – a prize patrol number!

Things were all set up for a light lunch and an couple of hours with the team.

Of course, no team event is without stamping, so I had packets for everyone with their little team gifts waiting for them all their stamping spot.

We also had a table to share all the Product Purchase Premiere goodies – there is nothing like being able to touch and feel in person!

And of course I shared my copy of the real Mini & Sale-a-bration Catalogs that they could look at too.

We made 4 projects using new products from the 2021 January – June Mini Catalog and Sale-a-bration brochure.

And of course while we stamped prize patrol numbers were called and prizes were given out!

Lots of smiling faces

Want to see our projects?

Not only did stamp together, we got to use the new Blending Brushes found in the Mini Catalog and learn a fun new technique too.

I’ll be sharing these projects with you later so stop back by to see my tutorials and videos for these projects and more!

So what do you think? Sound like fun? Love the new items too? It’s just a peek of what’s inside the 2021 January – June Mini 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?

OnStage@Home: Projects, fun & more

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.
