Father’s Day is right around the corner and here is a cute way to give a gift card or other small gift to dad.
I made this little box with the Geared Up Garage Bundle (150610) from the Occasions Catalog – a perfect set for the guys in our lives! I meant to share this earlier with you since I made it back at OnStage, but the tutorial got lost on my computer and I ran across it the other day. Do you ever do that? LOL if I don’t see it… you know how it goes.
I LOVE the gift items we can make with our stamps and paper and so today I thought I’d share with you some of the cute little items I received in a swap I organized for OnStage in Orlando.
I’m starting with this adorable Turkey – such a clever idea using the Christmas Bulb Builder Punch (148013) and some simple circles.
He holds a little Peppermint Pattie – so simply add a name to his tummy and you’ve got a perfect table setting piece for this Thursday.
And here is another treat made with the Making Christmas Bright stamp set (148046).
Open it and you’ll get a wonderful surprise – Yumm I’ve got to go looking for some of these chocolates myself it was so yummy!
And this cute little box using the Santa’s Workshop suite of products holds some Ghirardelli chocolates.
And this snowflake beautiful box was created with the cool colors of winter – done in Bermuda Bay and Pool Party the box has been brayered with color and spritzed with some Frost White Shimmer Mist. Pops of Silver Foil Paper and some Silver Mini Sequin Trim finish off the elegant look.
The sentiment is from the Farmhouse Christmas stamp set (148478).
And here is another treat made with this same sentiment – it’s a great size for all kinds of projects!
This treat was created using the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper (147820) and a cello bag that holds some Hershey’s Nuggets.
And finally a little top hat treat
I love the simplicity of this little top hat filled with Kisses. I immediately thought of Frosty the Snowman. LOL
I can’t wait to try some of these treat ideas myself – as I do I’ll be sure to share how I created them myself!
I’ve been doing swaps for years with some of these ladies, but this is the first time I’ve done one in person so it was wonderful meeting each other after years of emails and packages. They are just one of the many blessings stamping and being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator has brought into my life.
OnStage CentreStage – Epcot
Stampin’ Up! events are special and because of you all I was able to get a special invitation to CentreStage & Epcot.
I was so excited to be able to qualify for this event for a number of reasons – one of which I’ve never been to Disney in Orlando! Another making making memories, meeting new friends, and see old ones.
Here’s a new friend, Linda Baker, we met on the bus ride over and decided to join forces for the day with Tracey who was meeting me there.
After a full after noon at Epcot’s Wine & Food Festival our CentreStage event included a wonderful evening of deserts & karaoke.
The fried donuts with fresh vanilla bean ice cream were fantastic!
The evening ended with the fireworks display – I was even able to catch a selfie with Sheli and Sarah towards the end of the event!
And of course our first glimpse of the NEW 2019 Occasions Catalog! Squeel!
Thank you again for helping me reach my goals and be able to qualify for this event – I couldn’t do it without you my stamping friends and team!
OnLine Extravaganza starts Friday November 23rd – and You’re going to LOVE it!!!
I’ll be posting more details on the 22nd for you until then safe travels
The Brusho Color Crystals are so much fun to play with I don’t want to stop! If you haven’t tried them yet, you won’t be disappointed with the variety of uses with your projects.
Here is a card we made during our April Team meeting that focused on different Brusho Techniques.
This card uses a simple masking technique that creates a wonderful look and was soooo easy to do with a bit of painter’s tape!
Want to make some too? Here is a tutorial for the card so you can play and create too.
And how about a video tutorial showing you just how simple it is?

Blue Mountain Stampers’ OnStage Stream Event
I love to share and so as a team we always gather together to share with those team members who weren’t able to attend the Stampin’ Up! event itself. We gather, have dinner, stream and stamp together with the new products introduced from the latest catalog – this time the NEW 2018 Annual Catalog & the color revamp!
Before the event my husband, Larry helped me do some prepping for one of our Make n Takes – everyone who attended was able to make a 2018 Color Ring with the NEW colors! He’s such a trooper! (Watch for information next month about how you can get one of these too.)
I always try to bring a little taste of OnStage back to the group. This time the lovely little butterflies that decorated the tables – at the end of the night team members were able to choose one to take home, just like at the event.
And of course you have to have some “swag” – So I created these fun little Mini Pizza Boxes (144645) using the Picture Perfect Designer Series Paper (145559) and our new Detailed Trio Punch (available June 1st).
The Mini Pizza Box contained a little charm to go on their key chain commemorating the launch of our new catalog.
And of course NEW product displays
And of course we HAVE to stamp – after all everyone wants to use some of those new products! So we did 3 Make n Take projects. (watch for me to share those projects soon)
Laughter, fellowship, and stamping – what could be better?
