Beautiful Butterflies & More

Posted on March 20, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

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.

It was created using the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper (164700) and Floral & Gingham Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper (164713).

And this next one uses the Smoky Slate, Daffodil Delight and Petal Pink color combination for a softer look.

Open the butterfly and you’ve got a fun fold that is sure to impress.

This next card teams up the small butterflies from the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder & Dies (164614) with the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper (161467).

That fun little window was created with the All Around it Dies (Online Exclusive 164725). And speaking of Online Exclusive products these next two cards use the beautiful black & white patterns from the Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 165545).

Last but not least today I’ve got a couple of 3d swaps for you. First is a fun little ruler holder

using the lovely Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper (164607) and Brass Butterflies (158136). And this last little 3d is a treat that holds a mini Ghirardelli square.

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?

Storybook Friends & more

Posted on March 19, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

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.

Simply add VersaMark Pad (102283/102193) to your card stock, sprinkle with the embossing powder and heat. Voila! shinny frames that have kind of a patina look The sentiment is from the Unbounded Love Stamp set (163378). This next card uses the fun pack of Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper (164662) and it’s die cut pieces to create this simple note card.

This next card uses the Spotlight on Nature Bundle (163581) one of my favorite since the dies are so versatile. It also uses the

This card uses just two colors Memento Tuxedo Black and Misty Moonlight making it quick and easy. The Elements of Text stamp set (Online Exclusive 164774) that has been used behind the sentiment and image gives it some texture along with the Tinsel Gems Three Pack (161624).

These next to card use the Memorable Blooms Bundle (164826) and their color choice give them such different feels. This first card has a soft feel

and this next card that uses our Unbound Beauty Designer Series Paper (163372) has a more bold feel with its Petunia Pop and Summer Splash colors.

And check out this fun card using the Happiest Day stamp set (163605) who can resist this bright cheerful colors?

And for my last card today that I’ll be sharing with you the Thankful Garden Bundle (Online Exclusive 165534).

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.
