Month: April 2018

friends, fun, fabulous

What a fantastic weekend!  Stampin’ Up! On Stage Milwaukee was a blast! I had a great weekend with great friends.  Stamping friends are the best!

Great celebration for Stampin’ Up!’s 30th anniversary.  I can’t wait for the BIG Celebration in November in ORLANDO!

I was blessed to be chosen as a Display Stamper for Milwaukee.  Stampin’ Up! sent a box of stamps, paper and accessories form the NEW catalog and I made samples to help inspire other demonstrators.  I will be sharing my creations here over the next few weeks.  Make sure you check back to see them all!

Big high light of the weekend is getting the NEW 2018-19 catalog!!  Oh. My. Word! So much fun coming!  I can’t wait to get my hands on new goodies and start creating! 

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

time for a road trip

It may be cold still, but I’m not going to let it bother me this weekend.  I am heading to Milwaukee for Stampin’ Up! On Stage!!  So excited to spend a day with fellow Demos, swapping, stamping and socializing.  But the best part is – we get a copy of the NEW 2018-19 Annual Catalog!!!!  So excited to see what new treasures Stampin’ Up! has for us.  Another highlight this weekend is, I was asked to create samples for the Display Boards with some NEW product!  They will be displayed to give demos in attendance some inspiration.  I had a lot of fun making these samples.  Make sure you come back as I will be sharing those samples as soon as I am able.

For now, I will leave you with this fun card.

Petal Palette From the Heart- Center Stage Stamping

I love the detailed flower cluster framelit.  So Saffron, Sahara Sand and Whisper White are a soft color scheme with white baker’s twine and delicate pearls for accent.

I’m off to road trip with my demo friends Lisa and Roxie.

Thanks for stopping! Happy Stamping!

petal palette duo

I can’t believe it is April already.  Spring is coming – well, eventually.  Unfortunately, Minnesota didn’t get the memo.  We had snow last Friday and more is coming this week.  UGH!  Enough already!  At least today’s cards have a springtime feel to them.  They spotlight the Petal Palette stamp set and coordinating Petal Passion DSP in the Occasions catalog.  I used the same colors and layout for these cards.  I changed up how color was added to the DSP and the sentiment.Petal Palette - Center Stage Stamping

The black and white prints of the dsp offer great versatility for your projects.  Add in a pop of color (Calypso Coral for these) and you can customize the DSP to you project.  For the card on the left, color was added to select flowers in the DSP with a blender pen and ink in the lid of the ink pad.  The card on the right, I stamped one of the flower images int he Petal Palette set in Calypso Coral to give more depth to the DSP.

Try customizing your DSP.  It’s a lot of fun and adds a fun element to your project!

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!
