A New Ink on Life

OnStage Orlando Display Stamper Application

Last week I registered for Stampin' Up's OnStage Convention. To say I am excited to be in Orlando in November would be an understatement, I can't wait to soak in all of the amazing creativity and see some of my favourite people:) One of the hilights of Convention is checking out all of the fabulous display samples created by fellow demonstrators, showcasing new and upcoming products. This year I thought I would apply to be one of those stampers (fingers crossed). 

To apply I need to showcase my work with 3 cards, 2 3D items and a scrapbook page. These are the projects I am putting forward for my application.

This card showcase the petal Promenade DSP and Dragonfly Dreams stamp set and coordinating dies. I just like the photo realistic floral in this patterned paper pack, so pretty.

 

A soft pretty watercolour wash on Shimmery White Card stock create a back drop for the die cut floral from the Petal Palette stamp set. 

 

This card proves that some times all you need is paper, ink and a gorgeous stamp set to create a pretty card. The Healing Hugs stamp set is a must have and and pairs perfectly with this little label from the Stitched Labels Framelits. 

Stampin' Up! has these adorable little kraft pillow boxes that are just perfect for decorating, just the right size to tuck in a small chocolate treat or gift card. The holly images were watercoloured, the stamps and die cuts are from the current Colour Your Season Bundle Promotion. 

Another cute little box that Stampin Up! has available to purchase are these white mini pizza boxes. You can colour the box with a sponge and ink or decorate it here like I did with card stock, die cuts and DSP. 

This is one of my favourite recent scrapbook pages. The DSP is retired now but I think the layout is so versatile and I plan on creating another page soon based on it.  

Well there you have it, 5 projects that I am using to apply to be a display stamper, wish me luck:)

I am Thankful

I have just return from Stampin' Up's OnStage Live Event in Salt lake City and to say my heart is full would be an understatement! I got to spend time with some of my favourite people and meet many new friends that I know will be life long. The theme of this years convention was Live It. Love It. Share It. and I can say with all certainty that that is what I intend to do! 

One of the best things about Stampin' Up! for me has been the lasting friendships that I have made over the years and one of those would be with the amazingly talented Connie Collins.

Not only did I get to give her a great big in person hug after 6 years of not seeing her, I got to be her roomie and spend as much time as possible that we could cram in together over the course of 4 days. The photo above shows the bracelet and card that I gave her. I also got to share in the joy of her being named to the Artisan Design Team for the 4th time (she is the first demo ever that has been named to the team that many times!). 

Here is the full view of the card. I used the Painted Harvest Stamp Set, coordinating DSP and matching Leaf Punch.

I also gave my amazing upline Jenille Pauls the same engraved bracelet and created a similar card using the same supplies. It was so great travelling and spending time with her. She truly is such a wonderful upline and more importantly a caring and supportive friend. I was ecstatic to find out that of the over 4000 demonstrators in Canada she ranked 45th!

Live it. Love It. Share It. I can not wait to implement some new and exciting things into my SU! business and I hope you will continue to follow my journey here:)
