#Onstage2017 Display Stamper Submission

January 4, 2017Leave a comment

I have it marked on my calendar to apply again to be a display stamper at our all demonstrator gathering coordinated by Stampin’ Up! The gathering is called Onstage and it is great fun! In fact, attending convention is one of the reasons I signed up to be a demonstrator 13 years ago! If you would like to attend Onstage in the Twin Cities as part of my team, you need to sign up to be a demonstrator through my website to start enjoying the best winter hobby ever! Haha! Onstage registration starts January 10th. The midwest gathering has either been close to capacity or sold out so don’t delay in joining my team!

Okay. On to my submissions for display board stampers. Hope they pass the test!

That’s It! The home office asked for 3 greeting cards, 2 of 3-D projects and 1 scrapbook page. Hope my samples have inspired you to get stamping!

P.S. It is going to be bitter cold in my neck of the woods. Did you know my online store and the demonstrator opportunity are available to you from the comfort of your computer? No braving the cold for supplies anymore! One of the many reasons I love Stampin’ Up!

Happy New Year!

A fun card created by Kathy Baumann says it all for today! She used rich razzleberry as the base, layering with silver foil and shimmery white cardstock. Thanks for swapping this festive card Kathy!

Hope to stamp with you soon during Sale-a-bration!

3rd Day of Parade of Holiday Cheer

The Ugly Sweater Addition! I so love the cable knit embossing folder. I see more creations using this folder during the upcoming winter months!

Here are 2 designs that my Mom and I whipped out for a card exchange with her stampin friends. Although the patterned paper is retired Stampin’ Up!, we had to go outside of Stampin’ Up! for bling!

Yes, those are mini, real ugly sweaters! Mom has the greatest props!

Rudolph and the reindeer gang card was created by Cheryl Wenker.

Last, this design is not so ugly and shares the versatility of our stamp sets. The Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set has images of Rudolph, Santa, Gingi, Bear and this Eskimo. The same punch cuts all these images as well!

Eskimo was created by an unknown designer. Let me know if it was you so I can give you credit!

I hope you enjoyed my Parade of Holiday Cheer! Not sure if I will create any more posts before this weekend, so I’ll say Merry Christmas to you!

P.S. I do have an idea for one more post. It involves the story of why half of you will receive your Christmas cards next week. So if you have not already received your card from me, you are in that group! It’s a groaner for sure!

Good Morning! It is bright and crisp here. Sun shining down on new fallen snow with outside temperatures in the negatives. Although it is pretty, it is not my kind of weather! Much prefer gentle warm breezes while sipping a refreshing kombucha. Looking forward to those days already!

Let’s stay in the moment and current season for now. I’ll share swaps received at #Onstage November 2016 in Madison in the next few posts. I’ll stack ’em deep in case you need holiday inspiration. Here goes!

My design…I learned that the cut designer series paper can’t be jumbled around in the storage container because then the patterns don’t match! I created a video to share how to cut the angle perfectly every time here.

Unknown designer…

I Love You designed by Tina Petko…

The next two flew all the way from Maryland! Andrea Haines created both of these. The Tidings of Comfort and Joy card will be scrapbooked for sure! Andrea blogged about her journey with Gingi here.

Check back tomorrow for another stack of holiday inspiration! If you would like to order any of these products, my online store is open 24/7. I appreciate your business! Thank You!
