Hello Friends,

Wow, that felt amazing to type 2021 in today's title.  How would you like a Sneak Peek from the newest Stampin' Up! Catalog that is set to launch in January 2021?  We made these 3 cards with the Dragonfly Garden stamps at our Virtual Stampin' Up! OnStage in November.  Stampin' Up! events and Sneak Peeks are just two of the many perks of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  

Did I mention that you will be able to purchase the Dragon Garden stamps as a bundle with a dragonfly punch when the catalog launches in January 2021?  If you looked closely you may have noticed that the big dragonfly was punched from the new Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper.  Yay!

In fact, all 3 cards feature little pieces of the Dandy Garden paper.  On this card, the dragonfly has been stamped with Bumblebee ink and then punched with the Dragonfly punch.

In addition to punching big dragonflies, you will also be able to punch bitty dragonflies with the Dragonfly punch.  My favorite stamp from this new stamp set is probably the wildflower garden stamp pictured on this card. Beautiful!

With all this talk about 2021 catalogs, I bet you would like to see them for yourself.  Yes, I did say catalogs!  In addition to the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog, the January-February Sale-a-bration catalog is also launching in January and.....

on Tuesday I ordered packages of catalogs to mail to all my Stamping Country Customers!  What a fun thing to show up in your mailbox!  Stampin' Up! catalogs would most definitely qualify as happy mail. 

By the way, if you are new to Stampin' Up!  you may be wondering what the Sale-a-bration Catalog is all about.  It's about FREE STUFF FOR YOUR CRAFT ROOM!  This little catalog is filled with beautiful products that you can choose for FREE with every $50 or $100 you spend (before tax and shipping).  There's no limit to how many free products you can earn, so you can collect the whole catalog if you want.

Hello Friends,

We had a fabulous time at the 2018 Stampin' Up! OnStage!  Today, I thought I would share my OnStage Card Swap with you and how I made it.  It's a long standing tradition to swap cards and 3-D Paper Crafts when attending Stampin' Up! live events.  Since Stampin' Up! is celebrating 30 years, I went with a Congratulation theme and since we meet in Orlando, Florida,  I also went tropical.

First, I stamped all my elements starting with the two-toned flowers from the Tropical Chic stamp set.  To make my flowers, I inked the center of my rubber stamp with Flirty Flamingo Ink with my sponge dauber.  Then, I ink around the center with Daffodil Delight ink on another sponge dauber.  After I had them all stamped, I cut them out using my Tropical Dies.

Stamping the flamingoes was a 3-step process.  I used my Stamparatus, stamp positioning tool to stamp multiples of the flamingoes.  I find that stamping the flamingo outline first makes it easier to line up the other stamps.  My second layer was stamped with Powder Pink and my third layer was stamped with Flirty Flamingo.

By using several different Stamparatus plates I was able to stamp my partial Buffalo Check background, my flamingo legs and my sentiments by simply changing out the plates.  Speaking of Stamparatus plates, did you know that you can purchase additional plates now?  See all the new Stamparatus new accessories here.

Hello Friends,

Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world are gathered together for OnStage 2018.  It's fun to share creative paper crafting ideas with each other.  One was that we do that is to swap card ideas.  Here are my favorite 6 swaps from OnStage 2018.  

This first card is a beautiful example of the Eclipse Technique made by Sou Kaci from Lyon, France.

This beautiful Rooted in Nature Card was created by Janet Moore.

I'm sorry to say that the designer of this lovely Christmas Card is unknown.

Just look at this elegant Bride Card designed by Yvette Sanchez.

The crafter of this charming Christmas Card is also unknown.

This sweet and simple Christmas card was crafted by Carolyn Dick.

Have a fabulous day,
