Australian Snail Mail Delivery!

August 4, 20192 Comments

Was I surprised when I received this card from Tracy! So much more surprised because she lives in Australia! It was a happy snail mail day!

Here is how I arrived at getting snail mail from Tracy. Stampin’ Up! convention gathers demonstrators from all over the globe. It is one of the perks of attending Onstage. During the 30th Anniversary Stampin’ Up! celebration in Orlando, we had a meet and greet with fellow demonstrators that are part of a facebook group I co-admin. We are all direct to Stampin’ Up!.

Tracy had traveled all the way from Australia to attend convention and took me up on my offer to attend the meet and greet. We have been conversing via Facebook since convention. She also is a hop stop on our monthly blog hop. Click here to zoom the current blog hop featuring a bling spotlight. You will hop all over the world without leaving the comfort of your chair including to Tracy’s blog.

Thanks Tracy for the happy snail mail! Looking forward to our continued friendship and shared support of our love of all things Stampin’ Up!

My Onstage Swaps

April 20, 2019April 15, 2019Leave a comment

A highly anticipated activity when demonstrators gather is swapping. I knew my time leading up to Onstage convention was tight so I did not sign up for any swaps.

A day before departure, I realized I had some Card Buffet kits that just needed assembly. I brought 7 cards to swap and came back with 5. That math is a little off but I gave 2 of them to worthy demonstrators. Maybe they will snail mail me a card instead? I can only hope for happy mail:)

Here is the card I created…

I used sponge daubers for quick and easy coloring. Plus, the puppy needs to look fluffy so sponging was the best coloring option for this outcome. The stamp set Bella and Friends is being retired at the end of May. So order yours today from me!

These are the swaps I received in exchange from fellow demonstrators…

Is convention starting to look like a fun day? It is. I would love to have you join me in November. First step is to become a demonstrator on my team. Click the Contact button above to get started!

New Catalog Products Sneak Peek Make n Take Edition

April 15, 2019April 14, 20192 Comments

Stampin’ Up! hosted demonstrators for an evening of Centrestage Leadership and a day of Onstage stamping fun during #minneapolisonstage2019. Other events were located around the world simultaneously. Click here for my Centrestage post. Click here to see the Prize Patrol post.

This post will contain the 5 make n takes we completed during Saturday’s all day event.

Our co-founder, Shelli Gardner, worked with designers to create the May Paper Pumpkin kit. It promises to be vintage inspired since that is Shelli’s style.

I had great table mates that worked together to open the sealed products, adhere stamps to blocks, pass the supplies to the right and clean and put away stamps. Great team work! Sadly, I did not get a photo with my table mates since we were kept busy from the 9am start time to just after 5pm. We even had make n take time over lunch.

If you would like to feature these sneak peek products at your upcoming paper crafting party with your friends, click the Contact button above to get the conversation started.

Thanks for enjoying stamping with me!
