Thanks for stopping by today!
One of my Stamp Club hosts, LaAnna, recently had a party during her month. This is such a great idea because it gives her a chance to get her friends together for a fun time and build on her group orders to earn more FREE product.
We made this cute card as our make-n-take project. We used the notecards, which come pre-cut and scored and include envelopes.
Stamps: Daisy Delight
Cardstock: Whisper White Notecards and Envelopes, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White
Ink: Night of Navy
Punch: Daisy
Paper: Delightful Daisy DSP
Other: Gold metallic thread, Gold faceted gems
If you’d like to have a girls’ night out with your friends and make a project or two, let me know! We can party at my house (or yours). You invite the friends and bring the snacks. I’ll do the rest!!
Yesterday, I posted pictures from my recent VIP party, honoring my top ten customers from the last two years. If you missed it, you can find it here. Today, I’m showing you more from the party.
Prize patrol!! We drew two or three colors from the bucket, and the guests with the corresponding wristbands were prize winners. Of course, everyone won something before the night was over.
They worked hard on their make-n-takes, and when they were finished affixing all the labels……..
…..they had a cardstock sampler of all the current colors with product numbers for easy access.
Each guest received a brown paper bag decorated with twine and a tag to match their wristband color. Inside was an ink pen decorated with their color, along with a New Catalog Survival Kit. This led up to the moment they’d all been waiting for…….
….New Catalogs!!!
I’d been teasing them for days, and they finally got their hands on the catalogs! Things slowed waaaaaayyy down then, as we took quite a while just looking at all the new goodies.
Of course, no stamp party is complete without stamps, so each guest received a stamp set from my stash of retired product.
My last gift of the night was a personalized “suitcase”.
The wristband color coding had all been designed so that I could give them items throughout the night which coordinated with this gift I had made for each of them.
They were pretty surprised and excited to get these!
Now that the VIP party was such a success, I’m working on a Host and Customer Appreciation Party!! If you’d like to party with us, I’d love to be your demonstrator!
I recently had a VIP party for my top ten customers. I tried to spoil them rotten to show my appreciation for their support over the last two years.
I sent them this cute invitation using the now retired Birthday Fiesta bundle. I got the idea from a card by Melissa Stout. You can see her card here, along with a few other cards using this set.
Stamps: Birthday Fiesta
Cardstock: Tempting Turquoise, Sahara Sand, Whisper White
Ink: Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise, Basic Black
Paper: Festive Birthday DSP
Dies: Fiesta Time Framelits Dies
We had a great time at the party! My friend and helper, Jessica, showed up to keep me on track and take photos.
When the guests arrived, they each got a wristband in one of the “Bright” colors. This was used for prize patrols, plus I had personalized gifts and the color coding helped me give them items to match……more on that later.
I had all the fixings for taco salads, chips and queso, and a chocolate eclair dessert.
Some of the ladies checked out the new product display while waiting to make their salads.
We got the food out of the way first, so we could move on to the fun and prizes!
I’ll be back tomorrow with more photos of the party and some of the gifts and the make-n-take.
If you’re in my area, and would like to party with us, I’d love to be your demonstrator!
My last share from Onstage is also my favorite. I’ve been hoping for a crate die for some time, and this one is the perfect size!
This suite has a Wood Textures Designer Series Paper (DSP) stack, and many of the papers have the same design on both sides, so when using them with the crate dies, they have the same wood look inside and out.
There’s also a coordinating stamp set, Wood Words, with cute rustic images. For our Make-N-Take, we made the crate, three coordinating mini cards, and packaged them in a cello bag, which fits inside the crate to make a gift. Isn’t it cute?
Stamps: Wood Words
Cardstock: Whisper White
Ink: Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler, Bermuda Bay, Early Espresso
Paper: Wood Textures DSP stack
Dies: Wood Crate Framelits
Other: Linen Thread, 3″ x 6″ gusseted Cello Bag, 1/4″ Copper Trim

Stampin’ Up! has released their own line of Memory Keeping supplies, called Memories & More. You can use these supplies for traditional 12″ x 12″ scrapbook pages, pocket pages, and even cards!
To show the versatility, we made this card at OnStage using Memories & More products. The white layer is actually a lined M&M card, as is the green ombré card. We stamped the flowers and sentiment on this card, and also on our cardstock base. The flower image is cut from another M&M card.
Stamps: Colorful Seasons
Cardstock: Dapper Denim
Ink: Dapper Denim, Old Olive
Other: Color Theory Memories & More Card Pack, Crushed Curry Mini Chevron Ribbon, Gold Faceted Gems

When demonstrators attend Stampin’ Up! events, we get to do make-n-takes and play with new products! This is one of the cards we made at OnStage in April.
It’s from the new Birthday Memories suite. This suite includes a three-piece bundle consisting of the Birthday Delivery stamp set, Birthday Friends Framelits dies, and the Birthday Memories DSP (designer series paper).
Unlike our other stamps and dies, these dies can also be used to cut images from the DSP!! The banner and fox are cut from the DSP, and the words and presents are stamped.
Stamps: Birthday Delivery
Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Pacific Point
Ink: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso
Paper: Birthday Memories DSP
Dies: Birthday Friends Framelits

One of my good friends and Stamp Club members, Vandy, asked me to design a card using the One Wild Ride stamp set. I thought she would like this card, and I was right. Can you believe she bought the supplies to make 100 more of these?! Wow! There’s a lot of fussy cutting on this card, so that will be a lot of work.
Stamps: One Wild Ride
Cardstock: Tangerine Tango, Basic Black, Whisper White, Silver Foil
Ink: Basic Black
Punch: Best Badge
Other: Hexagon Dynamic TIEF
This was a fun card to make, and the Double Z fold is a lot easier than it looks. If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below.

At May’s library class, we made two quick and easy cards. The first was a Mother’s Day card. You can see it here.

Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla
Ink: Soft Suede, Early Espresso
Punch: 2″ Circle, Triple Banner

Tomorrow we’ll have a new catalog, and all new products! I hope you’ll come back to see some new projects!
