Team Gifts for Onstage@Home Attendees!

Whenever I attend Stampin' Up! events I love to spoil my team with gifts and treats. Not being able to see each other in person this time though meant I needed to think ahead and get gifts sent to them before the event.

I found these bright and cheerful cooler bags and decided to fill them with yummy treats and some tea/coffee/hot chocolate. I had lots of fun choosing (and a hard time not eating them too!). I even found some little cheese snacks called Amazeballs which I couldn't resist purely for the name - my girls certainly are Amazaballs!!

And I made a slimline card to go with them using the colours in the bag as my insipration (but it seems I didn't take a separate photo of it - whoops). You can see it in the first photo.

I hope they enjoyed snacking on them over the 3 day event.

Onstage@home

Wow, what a fabulous weekend I have had! It was the annual onstage event which usually is in person with about 300 of my favourite people! But this year has turned everything upside down as we know so the event became virtual - and Stampin' Up! kicked it out of the ball park as usual.

It was a full event with an opening act of Pat Benatar and her husband belting out some of their memorable songs. The next few days followed with new products, fabulous presenters, prizes, a sneak peek at the new catalogue coming out next January and even some stamping too!

Before the event I received my swag bag full of goodies and a brand new stamp set! I was also sent a gift for achieving Centrestage too - how spoilt was I!?

And I was also recognised for kicking some major goals that I was striving for this past year.

I am so thrilled to call this my full time job, I love what I do! BUT I cannot do it alone, so I am very grateful to my customers, my team and my family. Thank you for being you xxx

Nothing's Better Than..... Chocolate?

I titled this post Nothing's better Than - as it's the name of the bundle I used for these treats but if I am perfectly honest with you, there isn't much that is better than Chocolate to me!!

These wrappers are so easy to make using the Celebrations Dies and the Brightly Gleaming DSP. I then added a heart punch in the gold foil and added the die cut word. Not a stamped image in sight!!

Welcome to the Team / Fancy Phrases

We have had anther Happy Camper Stamper join our family so I needed a special card. She loves bright colours, flowers and bling so I decided her card needed to reflect that!

I chose to make a slim line style card and stamped the large flower image from the Fancy Phrases stamp set in Magenta Madness onto whisper white card stock. I then used my blends pen to flick ink spots onto the background the soften the white spaces.

The sentiment comes from a stamp set called Stamping Your Way to the Top (a demonstrator only stamp set) I coloured some basic rhinestones pink with my magenta madness blends.

StampingPals Challenge #9 | Christmas

Time for another Stampingpals Challenge - this month's theme is Christmas! This was an easy challenge for me as I am in Christmas mode, deciding on my Christmas projects for this year for family and friends.

Today's card was a CASE of one I saw on Pinterest by Kim Gavarra that I wanted to try with card class in mind. I am always looking for fun ideas and this one certainly is! Fun stamp set, fun papers and a fun sentiment!

This is an easy layout that I gravitate towards often - a splash of designer series paper, a focal stamped image/sentiment and some bling - it always works well.

I stamped the ornament in black memento ink then coloured it with my blends, coated it in wink of stella then fussy cut it out. I also did the same with the sentiment. It was too big to use on this card as is so I cut out some of the words to make my own words.
