It’s the last week of November… if you haven’t already, cue the holiday music! This week’s project sheet features the Candy Cane Season stamp set and the Candy Cane Builder Punch which you can get as a bundle. Here’s the project sheet with all the supplies and instructions you need. Let me know if you need anything!
Loving this card swap from Diana Langman it is a Gatefold card featuring the Farmhouse Christmas stamp set and the Layering Oval Framelits which are keeping the card closed. She also uses the Real Red 3/8″ Mixed Satin Ribbon and Pearl Basic Jewels. I also love how she used sponging to create the leaves on the left hand side of the card!
I decided to go a little unconventional with the colours for this week’s project and the First Frost stamp set lends itself well to that as it’s not your traditional Christmas/Holiday stamp set. The flowers were cut with paper snips as this is easy enough to do, but there are also framelits that coordinate with this bundle if you love your Big Shot as much as I do.
Enjoy this week’s project sheet and let me know if you have any questions!
With the holidays only 35 days away (OMG! how did that happen?!) I thought I’d start sharing a few more swaps from the Holiday catalogue swap I participated in with my team. The first card is by Roxane Hendrie featuring the Peaceful Noel Bundle which includes the stamp set and Sprig Punch. She also used the Joyous Noel Specialty DSP and Copper Foil sheets.
The second card was made by Moira Sands and also features the Peaceful Noel stamp set. She also used the Blizzard Thinlits die with the Joyous Noel Glimmer Paper, Copper Metallic Thread and the Merry Merlot 5/8″ ribbon.
Thanks ladies!!
If you have a list a mile long of all the Stampin’ Up! products you’d like to buy like me, here’s the chance to have others buy it for you!
So I’ve been back for a week from my trip to Orlando, Florida and Stampin’ Up!s 30th anniversary and I thought I would share some of my pictures and thoughts from my time at OnStage. The whole week was filled with fun, crafting and lots of FREE product!! I was very thankful on Saturday when they gave us all a tote, as I was worried that the bag I got at registration was not going to be big enough and boy was I right!
(p.s.- if you want to check out all my free swag I’ll be going live on my Facebook page tomorrow, Nov. 19th around lunch time to show it off)
Other than the free product, my favourite part of OnStage was being with and meeting demostrators from all over the world. When I was swapping I challenged myself to get a swap from as many different countries as possible. Obviously the bulk of my swaps come from North American demonstrators, but it was such a treat to meet demonstrators from Australia, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and France!!
(p.s. – check out my Facebook live from this past Friday, Nov. 16th, if you’d like to see them all. I’ll be posting a bunch of them throughout the week)
And while I loved meeting so many members of my Stampin’ Up! family, NOTHING could top meeting and talking with both Shelli, co-founder and Board Chair of Stampin’ Up!, and Sara, her daughter and current CEO of Stampin’ Up! They were both so sweet and genuine and truly wanted to get to know everyone they posed with for a picture. At no time did I ever feel rushed or that they were just there for people’s photo ops. Love you both!!
And here’s my immediate Stampin’ Up! family. The picture on the left is myself with my upline, and bestie since university, Stephanie Nash and my sideline Lisa Hardie who gave an awesome presentation on Friday night. On the right is all of us from Jenn’s Stampin’ Junkies who could make it to OnStage. I love getting together with these awesome women for meetings and crafting and this is the group that I’ve been swapping with up until this point. I really appreciate all their support and creativity!!
Another great part of OnStage was all the creativity that was showcased. There were so many great projects that demonstrators presented on stage as well people were free to post their own projects. Here are just three projects demonstrating three different suites of products that will be coming with the Occassions and Sale-a-bration catalogues in January.
(p.s. – send an email to inkspirationwithteresa@gmail.com and I’ll make sure to send you both catalogues!)
All in all the week was amazing and I was sad to see it end…. especially since that meant returning to snow and winter like temperatures. I am glad to be back though… glad to be back home and with my family and back so that I can share this with you.
Stay tuned for my 2019 calendar of events, and let me know if there’s anything in particular you’d like to see happen. Also if you’d like to join in the fun and family that is Stampin’ Up! and OnStage I’m happy to answer any questions you may have and you can check out my website for more information as well. (January is an awesome time to consider signing up as there’s an additional incentive which all demonstrators are dying to get their hands on!)
We’re half way through November and the holiday season is now quickly approaching! This week’s project is a cute and simple to make envelope that can be used to hold a gift card, a tea bag or even a 3″ x 3″ card. Here’s the link to the project sheet and as always please let me know if you have any questions about the project sheet, how to order the supplies needed or anything else.
Here is the project sheet for this week, which can be used to hold a gift card, a tea bag, or even a 3 x 3 card (or even all of the above). Enjoy!
If you’ve checked out some of my other posts, you’ll have seen some of the cards I’ve received from previous card swaps which have had a specific theme and set of rules to follow. In knowing that I would be attending OnStage to celebrate their 30th anniversary in Orlando I thought it would be a great opportunity to do some swapping with demonstrators outside of my own team, but decided not to join an organized swap since I wasn’t sure how many I was going to be able to get done. This is a sneak peek at what I received. I love that I was able to get so many different cards in return and I even received a few 3D swaps! I also loved the opportunity to meet demonstrators from almost every country that Stampin’ Up! is in!
Make sure to check out my Facebook page as I’ll be posting some pictures once I get these sorted and I’m looking to go live on Friday afternoon and share a bunch of my swaps as well!
I wasn’t able to get a picture of this week’s project to post here, but you can see it very clearly in this week’s project sheet. This week’s project, as you may have guessed features the Lovely as a Tree stamp set, the Softly Falling embossing folder, Tranquil Tide Velvet ribbon and involves some heat embossing. It is such a gorgeous card!

Even though I’ve know this day was coming and even got a jump start on my swaps for OnStage, I was still working on them up until last night. Thankfully they’re done and I can’t wait to see what I get in return!
The first swap uses a phrase from the Christmas Pines stamp set, the Pretty Pines thinlit dies, copper trim, the Festive Farmhouse DSP and the rhinestone basic jewels. My second swap features the Follow Your Dreams bundle, gold glimmer paper and the Tranquil Tide artisan pearls.
Make sure to pop over to my Facebook page to catch the sneak peeks from OnStage!! I can’t wait to share this with all of you!
Here is the project that I created for the 5th week of my 12 weeks of Christmas. This wine tag will add an extra little something special to all of those bottles that you will be taking on your holiday visits. It uses both the Christmas Pines and First Frost stamps sets along with the Pretty Pines Thinlit Dies, Copper Trim and the Gold Mini Sequin Trim.
