The Magical Meadow Bundle (retiring 162144) is filled with lovely images and sentiments that can be used through out the winter months and the images are DistInktive (TM) stamps give you lovely shading and texture since it is already built in.
While these first two cards use the greenery images to create a lovely card, they both have different feel to them due to the color choice. And this next card uses the Magical Meadow Bundle along with the same Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper (162133) to create this lovely Starry Sky inspired card.
I’m excited that some of the elements from this Suite will be carrying over so you’ll want to make sure that you get the Bundle that is part of the retirement list now so you don’t miss out.
Enjoy and don’t forget to stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing a tutorial with you!

When I returned from Las Vegas I told you I’d share some of the swaps I received while I was at the event. It has taken me a bit to get back to full steam with my computer but I think I’ve finally have gotten back on track. While I have a love hate relationship with technology I just don’t think about how much I use my laptop and something like this reminds my just how much easier technology can make life. How about you, feel the same way?
On to the fun stuff, my swaps. I just love creating and sharing at these events. Everyone has such a different style and ideas while using the same products. It’s always fun to see what folks are doing and I find I always learn something that I can share with you! So I’m going to start with this fun fold card.
Here is another card that uses Designer Series Paper as it’s focus, this time the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper (161304) with it’s fun little animals and black and white patterns.
And for my final swap today this fun little card using the Crafting for You Bundle (161226) and our Take Your Pick Tool (144107/150006).
Did you know that our Tool has a NEW Crafters Tip option? The Take Your Pick Crafters Tip (144107) option gives you 4 more fun options to choose from when using the tool. This card use the rotary perforating tip to create the grid background for the card and also the dotted line on the sentiment panel. How fun is that?
I always love the swap boards at our events too – tons of sharing going on. I’ll continue sharing more swaps with you over the coming weeks.
Speaking of BackStage I thought I’d share some pictures of the event too. I’ve never been to Las Vegas and was fascinated by the view out my window and the landscape below. And of course the airport itself was so colorful with the slot machines all around.
My husband Larry has thought about going with me but decided not due to his surgery earlier this summer. So I took full advantage of walking around and checking out everything at the Red Rock Resort including some time at the lovely pools! For some reason he didn’t think I was working when I sent him this picture. LOL!
And of course once the festivities began the evening before the conference it was non stop. We checked in on Thursday and got a lovely swag bag that included our agenda and more along with a photo of me, at our fun photo booth.
Our welcome Sweets & Swaps event was by the pool that night
And come to find out the fun neon sign we saw as we walked in contains a sweet little surprise for us too. We handed in our ticket and
we received a pair of sunglasses with a fun little case as gift that was perfect for around the pool or to wear around town.
During breakfast one morning I sat with a lovely group of ladies who had made some of the cutest gifts. Check out this adorable Sticky Note Pad holder – perfect for the event. Cute, right?
When the conference started Thursday we had some wonderful training with breakout sessions and speakers.
As we wrapped up the conference Saturday afternoon, Stampin’ Up! surprised us with a live performance to announce the last evenings experience!
A bus trip to the The Mirage for the Beatles show!!!
I’ve never seen Cirque De Soleil before and what a experience for the senses! It was so cool watching the wave of #BackStage Coastal Cabana LOVE t-shirts walking through The Mirage and filling the seats.
And the reactions were pretty funny from the folks when we got back to the Red Rock resort as to what they thought the group was all about.
Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some more swaps with you.
And of course if you have any questions or help with the Online Store please let me know. I’m here to help.

Sentiment stamp sets are one of my favorite things to add to my collection. They give me a fresh new selection of greetings that breath life into sets I already have on my shelf. Are you a sentiment set fan too?
Here are some lovely cards using the sentiments from this set. This first card uses Heat Embossing in silver to create the focal point of the card and the coordinating punch has been used to add interest.
The Silver Metallic Edge Cotton Ribbon (159193) adds a bit more shine. This next fun fold card uses the same sentiment but adds the wonderful Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper (Host 159913) for a fun bold color pallet. The Decorative Circle Punch (159174) adds a whimsical feel to the project and a bit of shimmer was added with the Opal Rounds (1542898). Can you see them on the ornaments?
And how about this next card? The traditional colors found in the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper (159559) make a great back drop for this sentiment on this fun fold card that will stand up with just a couple of score lines. You simply take your 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ Garden Green panel and score at the 2″, 3 1/8″, 5 3/8″, 6 1/2″ marks.
Last but not least here is a Valentine card using the set along with Real Red & White Glimmer Paper (159578) and the same Designer Series Paper as the card above. The back side of this holiday paper has wonderful patterns and textures too making it extend the use of the paper into the new year.
So what do you think no two cards alike, right? Isn’t that one of the great things about paper crafting? We start with the same stamp set and end up with tons of choices! Have a favorite card? Why not leave me a comment today and let me know which one you like?

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!
