More OnStage highlights!

Here are more photos of our wonderful weekend in Minneapolis at OnStage: 

Our new patterned papers for all color families!  Love that we're getting gingham in all colors!

This photo doesn't do these papers justice!  They are gorgeous and showy. 

Come Sail Away Suite; full of nautical products perfect for scrapbooking or masculine projects. 

The 'Everything is Rosy' product medley; coming to everyone on May 1st!!!  

Our newest In Colors; the 2019-21 In Colors!  This isn't the best photo but they're similar in real life.  I will get my actual product next week!

And now for some photos of the Million Dollars Achievement on the stage.  Stampin' Up! makes a big deal of this and I want to thank each and every one of you who has supported me through the last 13 years.

It was so special to be able to be with my friends Dena Rekow and Susie Wood.  They are both from Iowa and we hang out together at Stampin' Up! events.  

This was so much fun!  Even though we knew the confetti was coming the big boom scared us and we all jumped!  You cannot see the crowd that cheered for us, but it was so incredibly special to have so many of our Demonstrator friends and team members support us. 

There are just a handful of Demonstrators that have earned this achievement so far.  Susie is #30, Dena is #31 and I am #32! 

In fact Susie and I have become great friends and tend to talk everyday stamping together via phone texts.  Her husband Deke and my Andy are friends too and we always hang out together on our annual incentive trips.  

I am so blessed to have so many amazing customers and team members that I get to stamp and share with.  

Thank you for being a part of my journey!

Make the most of your Designer Paper with this Fun Fold Card; video instructions!

Each Tuesday at 11 am CT I share a few projects on Facebook Live.  This week I featured an easy fun fold card that was new to me.  At least the way you add the Designer Paper is new and super easy! 

It uses just one piece of Designer Paper measuring 4" X 6" that you cut to fit the front and use the rest inside the card.  Here's another one:

   

I used the Around the Corner and Treat Time stamp sets on this card.  Treat time is retiring.  See the entire  AC 18-19 Retiring List_US here. 

On the above cards I chose the Happiness Blooms designer paper from the Occasions catalog along with the Bitty Blossoms punch pack.  These flower punches are so adorable and match some of the flowers in the DSP perfectly!  Night of Navy and Call Me  Clover are the colors I used.  See this suite of products here. 

The other project I made in yesterday's Facebook Live video is this cute Pinwheel box inspired by my friend Dawn Griffith.  

It's made from a 6" square of designer paper; In Color designer paper in this case.  I am using some of my favorite retiring 2017-19 colors as much as I can! 

I hope you can watch the video below. I also share a few sneak peaks of items I received at Minneapolis OnStage this weekend. 

Thanks for stopping in today.  Have a great day!

OnStage Highlights!

We had a fabulous time in Minneapolis at the OnStage Stampin' Up! event.  I was able to connect and spend time with so many of my Stampin' friends there.  Twelve of my Flowerbug's Team from Kansas, Minnesota and North Dakota attended the event with me.  We had soooo much fun!  

Here are a few of the highlights of our weekend:
