#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!

#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!

OnStage 2019 Annual Catalog Product Purchase Premiere Sneak Peek & More

Posted on by

I received my OnStage Product Purchase Premiere goodies yesterday afternoon and didn’t get the video uploaded until late, so today I’m sharing it since I wanted to give you a sneak peek of what is coming! You are going to fall in love with the NEW In Colors – I know I have!

Friday night I was able to attend CenterStage. The excitement was high as we entered that evening.

I love this event since it is a much smaller group of us – it’s a great chance to share and make new friends over a lovely meal.

The excitement is always high since it is our first time together AND our first peek at the 2019 Annual Catalog.

And of course Stampin’ Up! makes it extra special with an CenterStage gift – check out this beautiful wrist purse and punch.

Saturday morning when we entered the room – the tables were set up and decorated

I always enjoy seeing how they “hide” our Make n Takes in the center piece of the table – they are hiding in the Stampin’ Up! box this time, perfect coordination for our Follow Your Art Suite. lol!

Want to see some more pics of OnStage – Charlotte?  Here are some more of our time together.

Everyone was excited to get their catalogs first thing! (That’s our new stamping friend on the far right, Orliea who joined us at our table.)

And of course, what would be a Stampin’ Up! event without stamping together?

Prize Patrol is always great fun – and Stampin’ Up! is always so generous!

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

I was thrilled to be able to share my walk across the stage for reaching my $100,000 sales goal this February with my team there. And touched by my team who was waiting for me right below the stage snapping pictures and cheering me on. How special they made me feel!

I’m so lucky to be able to share what I love with you. I truly appreciate you and am so blessed to have met such wonderful friends over these past 10 years. I can’t imagine what my life would have been like if I hadn’t started down this road all those years ago. I couldn’t do this without you, my wonderful customers and team members!

What can I say? Can you tell? I LOVE the creative time, getting to meet new stamping friends, and of course time with my team time too! I can’t wait until November when we’ll be doing doing this again in Atlanta!!!
