It’s been a rather sultry week and the temperatures have been as high as the humidity so it’s got me thinking of tropical things. So today’s card highlights the Happy Hibiscus stamp set (Online Exclusive 164877).
This stamp set allows you to create these lovely flowers year round if you choose since the set has some great all occasion sentiments. Check out today’s card that uses this stamp set.
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.
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.
Are you enjoying the swaps and sneak peeks into OnStage? If this is something you think you may enjoy joining my team may be just the right fit for you so you can attend these events, get to see NEW products first, and our Catalogs.
It’s just a peek of what’s inside the 2025 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? Add the fact that you’ll receive a discount on all these products and you can’t lose! If you feel this is a good time to join Stampin’ Up! and my team, the Blue Mountain Stampers, you too can be first too!

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.
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.
Speaking of the NEW 2025 Annual Catalog – Do you want a copy mailed to you?
How do you get your catalog:
I’m working on my 2025 Annual Catalog mailing now and will finalize it March 25th. If you have placed an order with me during the last 3 months, you’ll automatically get a copy. And of course, if you place an order with me by March 25th you’ll also be included and receive a copy by mail. (Just a note: if you place your orders in my Online Store, please make sure your mailing address is up to date and you’ve chosen me as your demonstrator so your copy can be delivered to your correct address.)
If you haven’t ordered with me recently, you can place an order with me now so you’ll be included in my mailing. Catalogs begin arriving Mid-April. Or if you prefer you can email me (info@StampwithJini.com) and request a 2025 Annual Catalog. If you are not a customer that shops with me, the Catalog is still FREE, you’ll simply pay the postage. After I receive your email I’ll send you an invoice for the postage to be paid by PayPal.
