While many of my friends and team members have been filled with the excitement over Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage (Convention) this past week in Raleigh, Strasbourg and Brisbane, I’ve been home. I’m wrapping up things at work and starting to line up my projects for around the house. I’ve worked on Fungeon organization, too, but I still have a long way to go before I feel good about it. Soon I will have time to devote…
I hosted product shares from the Online Exclusives offering that launched last week. Those shares were delivered to the post office Monday morning. It’s always fun to get those out and to hear from folks as they receive their beautiful bundles. Later this week, I’ll share some of the adorable tags that accompanied these goodies (but I want to give each recipient time to receive their tag first). When I launched these product shares, I…
While many of my friends and team members are having the time of their lives at OnStage in Raleigh (Stampin’ Up!’s convention), I’m at home. I was wait-listed on the first day of registration for the event and didn’t get in. I’m in a good place with my exclusion because there’s a lot going on as I wrap up my career job over the next two weeks. There will be more years. Even thought I…
In January I reached a huge milestone in my Stampin’ Up! career – less than 1% of demonstrators reach $1,000,000 in sales, so I am honored to be a part of a small group of incredible people. I received so many kind messages – text messages, phone calls, Facebook comments, emails and comments here on my blog. Thank you to everyone who reached out and helped to make my accomplish feel that much more special….
When I start a project, I am often distracted or change coarse midway through. Can you even imagine such a thing?! I cropped the beautiful flowers from the Memorable Blooms Dies nearly two weeks ago, and the gorgeous cut out has been bouncing around my craft room. I reference it every time I sit down to create and see it out of the corner of my eye while I’m in business meetings at work. That…
St. Patrick’s Day is a week away (Monday, March 17 this year). I don’t send out St. Patrick’s Day cards, but I couldn’t resist making a green-filled thank you card with a peppering of small shamrocks. To become one with the design, I rolled around in a field of shamrocks for an hour and then popped up to make this happy card: The sentiment – “so lucky to know you” – is a great sentiment…
Emma Goddard is an incredibly talented and kind demonstrator in the UK, and we’ve been great friends for a several years. Emma and I have very similar (and also very different) styles with the cards we make. While she features a lot of beautiful flowers and loves to incorporate lots of ribbon and embellishments on her projects, I mostly create bold, graphic designs with many layers. At the end of the card-building process, though, we…
It’s been another busy week. Stampin’ Up! launched a boat load of new products in its Online Exclusives launch on Tuesday. Most of my posts this week have been dedicated to these new products, and you’ve been excited about them, too! Thank you for the orders you’ve already placed (or for the order you are placing today). 🙂 Several of my team members (and many of my friends) are gathering in Raleigh, NC this week…
Back in Stock The project I’m sharing today features the Everyday Arches Dies, an incredible set of nesting dies that are perfect for SO MANY projects on your to do list. Along with other sets of dies, the Everyday Arches Dies were backordered for a bit in February – but they returned to the warehouse this past week. As I write this post, the dies are back on the Low Inventory list, so if you…
Every card needs a little texture. Whether its a rough strand of twine, a glistening embellishment or a bumpy, textured backdrop, all cards benefit from the recipient’s desire to touch the card. With Tuesday’s release of new Online Exclusives, Stampin’ Up! has given us many options for adding a little texture to the projects we create. Yay! Here’s a card I made with some of these new products: The only stamping on this card is…
