It’s Sunday! That means all my Stampin’ Up! events have come and gone. Time for me to sleep or catch up on my creating time. My day will probably be spend doing the latter – that’s just how I roll.
Today I wanted to share the cards Pam and I gave to our amazing friends who (formally) helped us with the event. Some helped to prep items beforehand, and others helped us make it through check-in and prize handouts. I am still amazed that so many people showed up to spend the day with us and am thrilled that so many offered to help us along the way.
Here’s the card that each of our formal helpers received:
The cards weren’t only gift, though. We gave them a little bag of fun stampin’ supplies as a thank you. The gift bags were adorned with a tag made from coordinating patterns of this same Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper, accented with a bow of Cucumber Crush 5/8″ Mini Striped Ribbon. Here’s a look at the bags:
As you can see, I stamped “thank you” from Vertical Greetings stamp set on each tag – what a perfect way to showcase this stamp set, don’t you think? The long, slender tag is a perfect, new home for the sentiment.
Vertical Greetings, Stampin’ Up!
For each envelope (our Medium envelopes are the best), I glued a piece of coordinating paper on the back flap and snipped around the edges to complete the look:
You know I love my “infinity shots” – it’s fun to look at all the cards lined up next to each other. Not only does it showcase the beauty of the card, but it also shows the amount of work that went into them. Here are some of the thank you notes, all lined up next to each other:
Stamp Sets: Sunburst Sayings, Vertical Greetings (on bags) Papers: Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper, Watermelon Wonder, Basic Black, Thick Whisper White Inks: Watermelon Wonder, Archival Basic Black Accessories: Medium Whisper White Envelopes, Layering Ovals Framelits Dies, Cucumber Crush 5/8″ Mini Striped Ribbon (on bags), Stampin’ Dimensionals
Don’t forget! On Friday I shared my Blog Candy Giveaway – featuring several items from the Candy Cane Lane Suite of products. Wow, you all love some sweets! The winner will be announced this evening, so don’t miss out – click on the picture below to see that post and leave a comment there. If you left a comment yesterday or Friday, you can leave another comment today. 🙂

Love your ideas! Thanks for sharing your tips and creativity.
How wonderful of you and Pam to make those gorgeous cards and I’m sure everyone loved their gifts. The vertical greetings set is a go to set for me. The only way I could love it more is if it was photopolymer. I’m sure everyone that attended your even had a fantastic time. How could they not with you as host and mastermind! Thanks for all you do Brian.
I have 2 favorite treats for the holidays.
1. My mother’s Apple Pie
2. Grandma T’s Pecan Tassies
Yummy for my tummy!
Brian, beautiful use of colors! I was on the fence about the both stamps and now I know I want them. I wasn’t sure about the colors and Fruit Stand DSP but they both were put to good use. I love your blog because you show how beautiful and useful SU products can be.
What a wonderful event!!! Thanks for all your hard word preparing for such a fun and informative event! It was a great weekend and I don’t want to leave Atlanta!
Hi Brian,
Love the tag on the bag. Cute card too. My fave sweets is brownies sprinkled with white powdered sugar. Have a nice day.
What a sweet card and gift bag! And, in perfect Brian form, you made me look at a set that wasn’t on my radar- Sunburst Sayings.
Way to rock everyone’s world, Pam & Brian!!!
Beautiful collection . . . love them mass produced in the photo!
Great blog candy and thanks for your creative inspiration every day.
Those are some beautiful cards to go with the very thoughtful gifts. I imagine you had a great time this weekend so just sit back and enjoy the memories!
Who wouldn’t want to spend time with Pam and you? Love the infinity shot – that always makes me smile. Speaking of smiling, I love the little gingerbread guy with his top have a cane – candy cane that is! He is ready for his stroll down Candy Cane Lane! Love the bag ornaments too with their pretty bows and vertical sentiment. My third favorite holiday sweet treat would be the little raspberry candies that have a hard candy shell with little bumples like real raspberries do and then there is that rich raspberry jam filling in them. Yum! Did you happen to tell us what your favorites are, or was I already swooning in a sugar rush to remember?
Glad your event was a success. Onstage was great in Kansas City.
Love the bag and the infinity shot – enjoy your creativity and/or rest today!
Love the bag and card!
I don’t think a day goes by when I don’t case one of your cards. Sounds like you put together a fantastic weekend.
That DSP in background, looks like flowing fabric…beautiful backdrop to this card. Can’t get enough of the infinity shots!
Love the infinity shots also! You are such an inspiration!
Love the infinity shot-super cool! Really shows off those beautiful cards!!
