2 years ago I was hanging out in Florida with one of my best friends and hundreds of other Stampin’ Up! demonstrators for OnStage. I had such an amazing time stamping and celebrating Stampin’ Up!s 30th anniversary! This year though OnStage was different. This year I attended OnStage at home.
For obvious reasons Stampin’ Up! switched to a completely virtual event. Even with that they kept as close as they could to how they would have run it in person. There were great information and business sessions and amazing speakers. And of course we got a sneak peek at the upcoming new catalogue and got to see some samples using some of the new products. We even got to do some stamping with some of the new products! They sent all the measurements we needed and we were able to order to the new products in advance if we wanted. I totally wanted to so I ordered the products and here are the 2 of the cards we made together, so to speak.
The one downside though of course was that we couldn’t do it in person. I haven’t seen my team, my Stampin’ Up! family, in person since before this whole pandemic. This reminded me of how much I miss being able to sit with them and whisper back and forth during the stamping presentations. We made due and I chatted in messenger with my smaller team. I chatted with my larger team in a special Facebook group that we set up just for this. We even did a ZOOM team photo since we couldn’t do an in person photo.
OnStage at home was still alot of fun and as always we got free Stampin’ Up! product! Once I get my new goodies from the upcoming new catalogue I’ll share them on my Facebook page, so make sure to check that out. Or if you live in Canada and would like to get in on all the fun then join my team. I’d love to work (aka stamp) with you!
