Team's Weekly Challenge: Critters

Our team challenge was to create something with some type of critter.  I chose to use the stamp set "Animal Outing" I received at Fort Worth OnStage. This stamp set was just one of the free goodies that was inside our bags. The stamp set will be available in June in the new catalog. I really love that the images can be colored with whatever medium you choose or left blank.  The sentiment are also super cute. I decided to use the kangaroo and koala image because I think they're just super cute.

Thursday Treasure: Stampin' Up! OnStage Swaps!

March 2018 Paper Pumpkin Kit "May Good Things Grow" Images©Stampin' Up!

Images©Stampin' Up

March 2018 is Paper Pumpkin’s 5th anniversary, and along with celebrating five amazing years of creating and sharing together,  they also found a way to say thank you to their friends with an amazing March kit which includes a fantastic, FREE gift—a pack of beautiful wood embellishments.

Because this is such a special anniversary for Paper Pumpkin, a lot of love went into creating this kit, and they hope you’re as crazy about it as they are. Its vintage floral design with seed packet envelopes is a first for Stampin’ Up! and they have to say—the Paper Pumpkin team just about fell out of their chairs when they first saw it. It’s uniquely beautiful, collectible, and almost sure to go down in Paper Pumpkin history as an all-time customer favorite!

While I was watching the video and going through my kit I fell in love with all of the super cute materials; however, I was also inspired with some great alternative projects. Below is my first alternative using the stamp set.

Using the wild wasabi stampin write markers to ink up leaf image. Once finished stamp image according to your design pattern. Next use rose red stampin write marker to ink up floral image stamp. Let your creativity flow and stamp floral image according to your taste.  *When creating your own background there is no wrong or right way*. The best way is to let your creativity spirit be your inspiration. 

Once all the stamping is complete use the snail adhesive and attach your background layer to the rose red cardstock. Next attached everything to your card base. Next using the rose red ink stamp your sentiment on the top layer. Voila your super quick and easy alternative  is complete.  You can create a matching envelope for that little something extra. Now this project is ready for that someone special.

Stampin' Up Local OnStage Swaps featuring "Truly Tailored"

What is OnStage?

Love it. Live it. Share it

Each year Stampin' Up holds this awesome stamping party.  At OnStage, you’ll have the time of your life crafting with fellow demonstrators, connecting with the home office, and seeing brand new products before anyone else. Last year I attended the Onstage Local in Shreveport and it was a blast. I met lots of new demonstrators and had the opportunity to learn new techniques. Throughout the convention there are several prize patrols and you get lots of free goodies; and who doesn't like free stuff! This year the Onstage Local will be held in Fort Worth, Texas.  

All demonstrators are encouraged to participate in the swap activities. What is a swap? Handmade and heartfelt creations that you make and exchange with other demonstrators. The swaps are basically samples  that you can use as creative inspiration.  Just another great perk of being a part of the Stampin' Up family.

This year I decided to feature products from the True Gentleman Suite. This suite can be found in the Occasions catalog. I really loved using this suite to make these cute masculine  cards.

As you can see I created  four designs using the True Gentleman Designer Series Paper and cardstock pack. This is a very easy card to make.  I  really missed putting some type of embellishment but most guys don't like all that bling.
