New Stampset - Animal Outing

Wow, what a week I've had!! I have spent three days away on a residential trip with my school. I've recovered and caught up on my sleep and thought I would do a quick post for you all today to give you a sneak peek at a new product from Stampin' Up!'s annual catalogue due for release on the 1^st of June 2018.

I made this card for my nephew's 2^nd birthday.

I used a new stampset - Animal Outing, that was given to all demonstrators that attended OnStage in April.

I used the leaf punch to create the tree and the Happy Birthday greeting is from Picture Perfect Birthday; both have carried over into the annual catalogue.

I coloured the giraffe with Stampin' Blends in Dark Daffodil Delight and Dark Crumb Cake.

If you wish to purchase any of the items used to make this project, simply click here to go to the Stampin' Up! Store. Be sure to select me as your demonstrator to receive a free thank you gift for shopping with me!

OnStage Part Four - Team Gifts

Yesterday I shared with you the team gifts that I made for my fellow Crafty O.W.L.S. (obsessed with lovely stamps) we are a group of fellow demonstrators (mainly from East Anglia) and come under one 'Upline' demonstrator that we joined Stampin' Up! Under. Today I am going to show you the gifts that I received from the team.

But before we get to the team gifts I just want to show you the table gifts I made for whoever I shared a table with at OnStage. There were over 500 demonstrators attending at the weekend and it was possible that I wouldn't know anyone on my table, so I though a small table gist would be a nice way to introduce myself and break the ice. I was luck enough to be with my fellow team members, but that is not always the case.

I made a really simple bag/box that I saw Sam Hammond demo on a video, on her blog a few weeks ago, that was the perfect size for a few sweeties.

Anyway back to the gifts from my fellow O.W.L.S. 

What a talented bunch! I'm so lucky to know and craft with such amazing, generous crafters. Here are just a few close up.

OnStage Part Three - Team Gifts

Yesterday I shared with you the swaps that I received in return for the brooches that I made to swap with other demonstrators; today I am going to show you the team gifts that I made for my fellow Crafty O.W.L.S. (obsessed with lovely stamps). We are a group of fellow demonstrators (mainly from East Anglia) and come under one 'Upline' demonstrator that we joined Stampin' Up! under.

This is us attending OnStage (with a few adopted demonstrators).

Before we get to the team gifts I just want to show you a few photos of what we experienced at OnStage.

So here are the team gifts I made...I had to make 13 of these, plus one for myself :) These are A5 sized chipboard notepad covers.

The notepad can be removed and replaced and I personalised them all with the recipients initial.

I also stamped and made paperbag packaging with a cute little tag.

Pop back tomorrow to see the beautiful gifts I received in return.

OnStage Part 2 - Swaps

So as I told you earlier in the week, I spent the weekend in Telford at Stampin' Up!'s bi-annual event for independent demonstrators. We get to share our love of crafting, find out about exciting things coming up and we get to see the new catalogue before its release on the 1^st of June.

Yesterday I shared with you the brooches that I made to swap with other demonstrators; today I am going to show you just a few of the swaps that I received in return. The quality and variety of the swaps I received was outstanding.

Here are the card swaps I received.

Here are a few of my favourites.

Here are the 3D swaps I received.

OnStage Part One

So as I told you earlier in the week, I spent the weekend in Telford at Stampin' Up!'s bi-annual event for Independent Demonstrators. We get to share our love of crafting, find out about exciting things coming up and we get to see the new catalogue before its release on the 1^st of June.

I am part of a team of demonstrators, mainly from East Anglia, called The Crafty O.W.L.S (obsessed with lovely stamps).

We travelled to Telford in a few small groups and bumped into each other at the service station.

Here we are at OnStage.

One element of the OnStage event is swaps. Demonstrators make something (a card or 3D item) using current Stampin' Up! products and make enough to swap in exchange for another demonstrators swap.

I chose to make a 3D swap this time and created this flower brooch using the Balloon Bouquet Punch, Leaf Punch, Copper Foil Sheets and lots of gorgeous 2017-2019 In Colour A4 Cardstock and Inks.

I made 46 swaps, so swapped with 46 demonstrators.

Pop back tomorrow to see the swaps I received back.

Stampin' Up! OnStage

Welcome!

I have spent this weekend in Telford attending Stampin' Up!'s bi-annual event (OnStage) where I get to share projects, business presentations and the new Annual Catalogue (due for release on the 1^st of June 2018) with over 500 other Stampin' Up! Independent demonstrators. I have got so much to share with you from OnStage that it would be too much for one blog post, so I'm going to break it up and pop back every couple of days to share something new with you. I'm currently experiencing technical difficulties in transferring photographs from my iphone to my laptop so I'm sorry this contains no colourful pictures... I'm working on it!
