Stampin Up Sample Boards and More Peeks at the New Catalog

I know I said that I wrapped up my last post on the Stampin' Up! On Stage, Convention. But, this is all about the stamps, samples and creative ideas that were shared.

I have some cool scrapbook pages to share, that were made with Stampin' Up's Project Life kits and that were displayed on the many display boards at Convention. Plus, an adorable surprise at the end of my post.

I'll start with this cute spread...

I love this one. Its so cheerful and bright.

Don't you just love all the new Project Life cards and elements?

Here's a little peek at some new designers series paper that will be in the Stampin Up Annual Catalog- 2016-2017. Stunning!

Ok, so this is a teaser from the New Catalog... one of my favorite new sets, Baby Bear. I was able to give this set away, to some lucky demonstrators, as my prize patrol during my presentation. Too bad, I didn't get to keep one!

 

That's all for now, folks. I've got to work on my upcoming "Kim's Card Class" and also my Team Meeting and 2 workshops, coming up this week.... not to mention my son and my dads birthday parties!

Until the next time...

Keep on Stampin' and Come back again soon!

Stampin' Up! On Stage Convention- Wrapping it Up

One last post about my trip to SLC and the Stampin' Up! On Stage Convention.

There was so much to see and do over the 7 days that I was in SLC. So many friends to see and spend time with, so much to learn and many friends and accomplishments to celebrate.

First stop after I landed was a Diners Drive-Ins and Dives place called the Blue Plate Diner.

It was early morning, so I had the Veggie Omlet- it was as big as my head!

Next, it was off to the Salt Palace Convention Center for rehearsal and hanging with the SU staff backstage. It was so much fun and really helped me relax before my live presentation.

Shelli Gardner- Co Founder of Stampin' Up! and Sara Douglass- CEO,  with Janna the fabulous make-up Artist, and Marlee their assistant, prepping backstage.

 Making a back-up video, just in case..

The night before the kick off of Convention, my friends, Cindy, Linda and I had a Premiere Kick Off Party to celebrate our teams. The theme was "Apple of My Eye" because our girls definitely are that!

Here they all are at our cute apple themed table.

Our demonstrators friends from Hawaii, are ready for the Opening Session of Convention. Don't Martha, Cindy and Zeny look awesome in their matching Hawaiian shirts?

It's so fun to get to see friends that we don't see often. This is our friend Dawn from Michigan.

 A live band, balloons and confetti to get the crowd going!

There was a special dinner for Silver Elites and above that night and a  dueling piano show that was so fun and hilarious!

It was a great black and white affair at the Grand America Hotel.

My presentation was the following morning.

Next was our Advisory Board Alumni Dinner at Gracies in SLC. I celebrated with my Advisory Board sisters from both years that I served, and all of the other Alumni over the past 25 years.

My AB sisters Cindy and Linda...

and Lisa and Robyn.

Our final day. Its so much fun when my bestie, Raelene, is part of my team.

My #1 Stampers Team, rocks! Raelene, Me, Connie, Kathy, Kristi and Alyssa, representing Pittsburgh, PA!

My friends, Cindy, Linda and I celebrated our Sales Milestones that day. We all reached our goals of $500,000, $600,000 and $1 million in personal career sales, respectively.

That evening we celebrated, "Million Dollar Linda" with a surprise dinner at the amazing Roof Restuarant in SLC.

Lest not forget, one of the best parts of Convention are the Sample Boards. Here's just a few:

And the NEW In Colors: 2016-2017- they are gorgeous!

Whew, well I think that wraps it up in a nut shell. I hope you enjoyed seeing a little of what happens at the Stampin' Up Convention. Maybe one day, you too, will join me as part of my #1 Stampers team.

Until the next time...

Keep on Stampin' and Come back again soon!

 

Stampin Up On Stage Convention Part 3- Apple of My Eye Party Swaps

During my visit to SLC for the On Stage Stampin Up! Convention, I participated in a couple of swaps.

We had a "Premiere Party" for our teams before the kick off of Convention began to celebrate and thank our team members.

I posted some pictures the other day of the "Apple of My Eye" theme that we used for our party.

Now, I would like to share a few swaps that were made. Of course we used the "Apple of My Eye" stamp set as the swap theme. This set is just adorable - AND it will be retiring soon, so if you have had your "eye" on this one, get it soon!

Check out the awesome swaps created by our talented team members. All cards were made with the "Apple of My Eye" stamp set. Such a great variety!

I am going to post a few of the swaps. Here's a pile of them:

This cute lemon card was made by : Alyssa Trunzo. Alyssa used dazzling diamonds glitter to sparkle up the lemon and the softly falling emboss folder to give this card texture.

This beautiful citrus card was made by : Raelene Ellenberger. Raelene used hello honey and mossy meadow inks along with the circle framelits dies and some silver thread and striped hello honey ribbon. She also used the decorative dots emboss folder and the heart punch from itty bitty accents punch pack to give this card some dimension.

This vibrant gem was made by: Kristi Kildoo- see her blog here

Kristi used tangerine tango ink and the clear wink of stella pen on the oranges, then she covered them with crystal effects. Yum.

This adorable "out of the box" card was made by: Zeny Lucey

Zeny used the Love Blossoms designer paper and a variety of circle punches on this card.

How cute is this apple shaped card made by: Cindy Baughman? Visit her blog here

Cindy used the deco label framelits for the shape of the apple.

I made this vibrant card with tangelo twist, hello honey, real red and mossy meadow inks and cardstocks, and added a strip of striped cotton ribbon in tangelo twist.

This refreshing lemonade card was made by Sheryl Wheatley. Sheryl used the uber cool bokeh technique, some velum and striped designer paper to make this darling card.

This cute basket of apples was made by Cindy T. She used the Berry Basket die to form the basket and the Farmers Market designer series paper for the background.

 

Check out this cool Envelope Card made by Linda Bauwin. See her blog here.

Linda also used real red and garden green cardstock, along with the Elegant Dots emboss folder.

A bright and shiny card made by Kathy Sullivan. Kathy used clear emboss powder to make the fruits look juicy. Looks good enough to eat!

Wow, its amazing how many card ideas can come from ONE stamp set. The possibilities are endless. If you don't have this set, you may want to get it before it retires!

I hope you enjoyed these cards as much as I did. These ladies are super talented and so creative!

Until the next time...

Keep on Stampin' and Come back again soon!

Stampin Up On Stage Convention Part 2- more sneak peeks!

I wanted to share all the "loot" that I received during the On Stage Stampin Up Convention. We get so many cool products and of course there is swapping and gift giving and prizes too!

Check out all the cool stuff that I hauled home:

We also made some cool Make n Takes while we attended the Stampin Up! On Stage Convention. Everything shown here will be in the NEW Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog 2016-2017.

Here's and adorable shaker card made with the new stamp set called, "Confetti Celebration." We even have a new Confetti Punch and foam strips to make shaker cards the easy peasy way!

 

Here's a super cute card made with the new Card Kit- "Oh Happy Day" this has got to be my most favorite card kits ever. (wish I would have noticed that the bow was messy before I took the photo)

This is the "Oh Happy Day" card, opened: So super cute!

This is a card made with the new "Love and Affection" Stamp set and coordinating "Affectionately Yours" designer paper and also the new "Floral Affection" emboss folder. This paper is stunning in person- it has copper highlights throughout.

If you look closely, you can see the copper highlights on the designer paper.

This is just the tip of the ice berg. The new catalog is amazing and will be available June 1st. I will be taking Catalog pre orders now. Watch for the email, soon.

Come back again soon, to read about more On Stage fun.

Until the next time...

Keep on Stampin and Come back again soon!

 

On Stage 2016 Fun in Salt Lake City!

Hello, from SLC! Having a fabulous time here. I wanted to share some highlights with you before I head home.

We have had such a great time and it has been a great experience for me this year. As I mentioned, I was asked to present at the Stampin' Up! On Stage Convention this year, and I was a bit nervous, as I haven't presented in many years. Sara Douglas- CEO of Stampin' Up! did tell me that it was just like "riding a bike." I'm not sure it was that easy to get adjusted to again, but with the support and encouragement of my friends, family, downline and Stampin' Up!, I managed. Thank you all for believing in me!

So, until I get home and can post some samples, here are a few highlights from my trip. This is a sampler made with the "A Nice Cuppa" stamp set that our friend Missy Shipman sent to us when we arrived in SLC. She couldn't attend, but was sweet enough to send us this awesome gift. Thanks so much Missy- you rock!

Preparing for our team Premiere Party before the kick off of On Stage with my beautiful friends, Linda and Cindy.

Our Theme was "Apple of My Eye". We used the "Apple of my Eye" stamp set of course, to decorate for our team dinner.

Photo of our wonderful team. We love these girls!!

My amazing and talented team- the #1 Stampers- waiting for General Session to begin.

 My awesome Co- Presenter, Brandy and I.

Hanging out back stage with the hilarious and super sweet, Bonnie Farley and the fabulous Carrie Cudney.

Me, presenting my Business Presentation On Stage.

And my Stamping Demonstration, On Stage.

 And a little sneak peek of a NEW stamp set that I demonstrated, from the 2016-2017 Catalog!

Stay tuned for more fun photos of Convention and even more sneak peeks!

I will be posting again tonight, so come back again tomorrow!

Until then...

Keep on Stampin' and Come back again soon!!

 

 

Where Have I Been?

So, I know I've been MIA. But, there is a good reason. I'm in Salt Lake City, Utah attending the Stampin' Up! On Stage Convention with some of my downline.

Not, only am I attending, but I have been asked to do a Business Presentation along with a Stamping Demonstration- Live on stage! So, for the past week I have been finalizing my presentation and graphics and stamping projects to get ready for the big day.

I was in rehearsal all day today with the Stampin' Up! staff and it was so much fun. We were suppose to film a video too, but the camera broke ( no, I didn't break it... I don't think I did anyway) so I have to go back tomorrow and finishing taping. Convention doesn't begin until Thursday and my live presentation is on Friday, so luckily Wednesday was a free day anyway.

I'm going to try to post some photos while I'm here- BUT we are not permitted to show photos of the new products or of the new catalog yet. But, I have to say- I received my copy today and it is A MAZE ING!!!!! So many new products- 377 to be exact.

So, thanks for understanding my absence, its been a whirlwind week- and I had to fly out early too- so It put me a little behind.

Here's a quick photo of the behind the scenes fun..

 

 

 I'll be back later with more fun photos from Convention.

Thanks for stopping by!

Until the next time..

Keep on Stampin' and Come back again soon!
