Celebrate with Lavender

Hi again!

Hope you are doing well and having a great week!  Today's inspiration features a New SALE-A-BRATION stamp set called Lots of Lavender and I've combined it with the Petal Pair textured impression embossing folder (TIEF for short!).  This stamp is so lovely and it's designed as a 2-step stamp with the outline detail image shown in black, and then a 2nd step bold image that you would stamp to color in the flower portion, also an image to stamp and color in the leaf portions, as well as the bow ... and a few other pieces in the image set.

However I wanted to introduce the NEW Stampin' Blends, our alcohol markers that have been brought back to life finally!  The colors come individually or in a color pack, with the light and dark!  So you can purchase them individually as needed if you use up a color, which I can see happening as you stamp and color tons of leaves, someday you might just need a new green!!

The focal image was colored and then fussy cut out the old fashioned way before the big shot and framelits and thinlit dies ... and layered on an oval of the dazzling diamonds glimmer paper, backed with an oval scallop of whisper white.  The Celebrate was also die cut from the NEW Level 2 SAB choice (free with $100 purchase) the Celebrate You Thinlits!!  Adhered with a bit of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Let me tell you the shimmer and dazzle on this card is spectacular!  Oh and I think I added some Wink of Stella over the flowers too - seems that Glitter Brush pen is always in my hand!

Let me know if you need anything, I would be happy to help you!

Make n Takes

Hi

It is always fun to get to be an attendee at an event, or to attend a team meeting!  My direct recruiter (upline in SU terms) quit a couple of months after I joined.  For a few years in the beginning my 2nd upline lived in Gilbert and I was able to attend her team meetings.  My third upline was her sister-in-law and she lives in New Jersey.  So for a few years that was a great source of friendship and very educational way to learn about SU products, policies and opportunities!
I am the team leader for my INKin' All Night! demonstrator team.  So I am always the one preparing the events and meetings - which I enjoy doing so don't get me wrong, but it sure is refreshing to be able to show up and not do all the work!  I did do some work because I prepared a presentation and display, but still it was a break from my normal routine!

We had a mix of presentations and then had an awesome lunch and spent basically the rest of the day rotating around to complete several different make-n-take projects!

The projects feature new SALE-A-BRATION and OCCASIONS Catalog products!  Let me know if you don't already have a demonstrator that you do business with and I'd be happy to add you to my customer lists and help you with any SU! product needs.  Please send me a message with a full mailing address and your phone & email info - if catalogs are needed please let me know which ones and I'll get them in the mail to you!

Thanks, Happy Stamping!

Hi,
Happy Spring Break, wow that was a busy week off!  Thanks for letting me enjoy it!  Back now with a few updates to share!

SALE-A-BRATION
We are in our last two weeks of our annual promotion and due to the untimely discontinuation of the Blendabilities Markers which were available as a SAB choice, Stampin' Up! has stated that ALL SAB items are available while supplies last (except for stamp sets).  In addition to the 4 NEW exclusive SAB choices that were announced on Mar 1st, they have also announced some additional catalog merchandise that may be selected when choosing your FREE SAB items. 

These are the 4 exclusive SAB items added March 1st

WEEKLY DEALS
It's Tuesday so that means NEW Weekly Deals!! Here you go, some adorable embossing folders, I have a hard time making a card without using one!!  Which is your favorite?

Other Announcements were made today with regards to a couple of other products / programs that Stampin' Up! has evaluated and deemed that they are no longer going to offer these after May 31st, 2015.

MY DIGITAL STUDIO:
My Digital Studio software, digital downloads, print products and support.
*If you have purchased the software and any downloads, please ensure that you actually download the items to your computer and do a back up!!
*If you have any projects that you are currently working on with plans to print through the SU print house, please complete those quickly!!
*Digital items will no longer be available through the Stampin' Up! store, so if there is other digital artwork (stamp sets, dsp, kits, embellishment, etc) please make sure to order (& download) these while you can.
*You may continue to use the software and downloads that you have purchased on your own, with e-cutters, etc afterward but going forward there will be no online or software support or training, videos etc.

HISPANIC MARKET:
The Spanish Celebrando Creatividad catalog and offering of translated stamp sets will be available only through the end of May.  There are other changes with this program but they impact the demonstrator side of business.

While today has several announcements please be confident that Stampin' Up! is constantly evaluating the success of its programs and product offerings to ensure that they are always bringing us the best.  Although change is sometimes frustrating and hard, it is also necessary to move forward to see what NEW offerings they can bring us.  Also please note that they do not make these decisions lightly, this is after much consideration and review.

Happy St Patrick's Day today too!!  Go stamp something GREEN!

Spring Fling, Birthday Cake

Happy Friday!!

You did it!!  You made it all week and to the end of the Spring Fling Projects too!  I hope you have enjoyed seeing what we designed and prepared for our guests.  It was a great day, the feedback we have received was all in favor of a nice assortment of projects, good mix of difficulty and what can we say, they LOVE making cards but we love to throw in a few gift packaging ideas too!!

Here ya go!!  This features the Big Day SAB stamp set and the Blendabilities markers, the Artisan kit and the Big Dot TIEF to pump up the background!

There ya have it, all the projects and a recap of everything they made!  I will have to find my pictures of everything they received in their cute Hot Pink AZ INKers goodie bag!  That picture was equally amazing too!  We try to maximize every penny back into the day and into the projects and we hope they feel special and spoiled, our way of THANKING THEM for trusting in us to deliver them an awesome day of stamping!

Have a great weekend!  Hopefully I will be back with more to share!

Spring Fling, You Made my Day!

Hi!
This card is a CASE of an idea I found on Pinterest using the Best Day Ever SAB stamp set doing the Bokeh technique of soft faded dot images floating in the background.  We used the Old Olive and Blackberry Bliss that the guests were using on yesterday's card.  This way we could also tie in the Blackberry Bliss velvet trim ribbon from the Artisan kit and the tag is punched with the NEW Ornate Tag Topper punch too!

Card idea by Sara Rayner, her original found here on Pinterest

Have a great Thursday and see ya tomorrow for the last Spring Fling project!!

Spring Fling, Lotus Blossom

Hello!

I hope you are having a great week!  We are getting ready for Spring Break already, wow, this year is flying by!  Seems like it was just January and I was at Leadership in Orlando and then bam, February and our Spring Fling event, and now shazam it's already March and we're cruising right along!  I must say I hope it slows down a bit as this is Senior Year for my lovely Miss Rachel and I would like to enjoy it a bit!!  But I am sure that's wishful thinking on my part ... dance competitions every month and then it'll be May ... ay-yai-yai!!  Okay I admit, I don't know how to spell that but y'all know what I meant right!

Back to business!  Ha!  Here's a lovely card made featuring the Lotus Blossom SAB stamp set and the Something Borrowed DSP, Sahara Sand Lace ribbon trim with a touch of the Blackberry Bliss velvet ribbon from the Artisan Kit too! Oh and the Tag Greeting is from the You Brighten My Day SAB set and the Note Tag punch which carried forward from the Holiday Mini!

The Lotus Blossom stamp is a 3-step stamp image which layers each image over the other to create the depth of the amazing flower.  Colors are Blackberry Bliss for the darkest detail image, and then it's Rich Razzleberry for the other two layers (one full strenth, and the other image blotted once before stamping) and good ol' Old Olive for the greens!

Have a nice day!

Rhonda

Spring Fling, Artisan Stencil

Hi and welcome back!

I will continue on with some more of the projects that they got to make!  These two cards feature the Stencil from the Artisan Kit embellishment box.  Both have Sahara Sand card bases, with a panel layer of Sahara Sand that has been embossed with the Small Polka Dots embossing folder.  They also each have a few of the soft pink rose trim and about a 1/3 of a doily.  The greeting is from the Lotus Blossom SAB stamp set, one stamped in Black ink and the other card with Sahara Sand ink.

Sponged Rose Chalk ink through the Stencil onto the white cardstock layer
We sponged onto a layer and then trimmed and mounted to a 2nd layer of white as a frame
Several of our guests just stamped on the 'frame' layer and skipped the extra step!

Stencil has the white side (other side is Sahara Sand) facing up,
layered over a piece of Pink Pirouette cardstock

Thanks for stopping in today!  Have a great day!

Best Day Ever

Hi!

I hope you have had a great Sunday! I have had a wonderful day. I slept in a little bit and then I enjoyed a cup of coffee  and cinnamon rolls with Rachel. We watched a movie and I finished my preparations for my team meeting tomorrow. Rachel grabbed us Teas and we made dinner together tonight.  And I managed to makey swaps for tomorrow night already!!  Yay me!!  

So here you have it!  My theme tomorrow  is using the SAB items and I LOVE this card from Pintetest by Mandi Swanson (Nope, don't know her but THANKS)!!  I changed it just a bit for colors and ribbons but every once in awhile you just want to make something you've pinned!!

It is simple but to me Packs a Punch of WOW!  Love love love the crisp color combination (strawberry slush, coastal cabana, daffodil delight) paired with classic Black and White.  Lots of punches in there: scallop tag topper, banner, flower from Itty Bitty Accents trio pack, project life corner rounder and even a strip of Washi tape!

Well I hope you will stop by again tomorrow and I'll share some more Spring Fling projects with you!

Have a great night!

Spring Fling, Cafe Treat Bag

Hi!

Have you created with our Petite Cafe Bags that were in the Holiday Mini that rolled over into the Occasions Mini?  They are wonderful and can be super easy and fast, but always adorable!

Here's one that we pulled together to show off several new products from both the Occasions Mini and the Sale-a-Bration brochure too!

The Petite Cafe Bag is the perfect size for lots of treats and small gifts.  The natural craft color base lends it to work easily with just about any color combination you want!  

We used the NEW Chalkboard Paper with the Party Pennants Bigz Die and the Celebrate your Big Day SAB stamp set, the Artisan Kit, Wild Wasabi and Pink Pirouette Blendabilities ... along with Whisper White Craft ink and white embossing powder and a touch of Pear Pizzazz Cotton trim ribbon!

This is so much cuter in person!  So soft but just striking!

Have a fun day!

Rhonda

Spring Fling, Take Out!

Take me Out to Spring Fling, take me out to stamp all day ...  well, sing it any way you want!!

We love to offer a vareity of projects that showcase our wonderful Stampin' Up! products!  So we create a wide display of projects from the products that we provide in their Goodie Bags! Showing versatility and using the items in a different way or in other combinations can make our products even more versatile.  We hope our guests not only enjoy the day but learn a new little somethin somethin too!!

Take Out Box & Celebrate Big Day Tag

Close up of the Tag

This was one of our favorite projects to make, because our inspiration came from the one and only Shelli Gardner, cofounder of Stampin' Up!!!!!  Diana received a beautiful gift box and we designed our own version to share at Spring Fling (completely different in every way other than the layout) with our guests.

Take Out Box, SAB Celebrate Big Day, Artisan Kit, Pink Pirouette Blendabilities, White Jute Ribbon, Soft Sky Seam Binding, Framelits, Embossing Folders and more!

Have a great day!

Balloon Bash

Hi!
Over the next couple of days I will share with you some of the projects that I have made with the NEW birthday stamp set, designer series paper and embellishments featured on page 12-13 of the Occasions Mini Catalog!  This is an awesome color combination and the embellishments are really FUN!  Pom-pom trim & sequins, oh my!  This product suite is called BIRTHDAY BALLOON BASH - let me know if you enjoy it!

 Using the GIFT BOX PUNCH BOARD and the new DSP, 3 different sizes of boxes stacked creates an adorable gift, topped off with a cute tag (new tag topper punch too!), ribbons, sequin trim, stamp set and more!  Quick & Fun!

And I love mason jars or Ball jars of pretty much any size and shape!  This cute lil' guy is the 4oz jelly jar size!  Calypso Coral seam binding around the lid and the new DSP and our circle punch to cover the lid!  Filled with the new SAB buttons, but I've already used almost 2 packages of them, sigh, so not so filled anymore!

I can't wait to show you the rest of this ensemble!  Stay tuned and come back tomorrow!

Happy Stamping!

Demo Day Make-n-Takes

Hi!
Just stopping by to share with you the projects that I provided yesterday at my team meeting, Demo Day Event.  The day was designed with an Open House feel to the flow but we actually fell together into more of a structure which worked well too!  They all kind of came in and viewed the displays, we did some introductions and by far the 'most favorite item from the SAB Brochure' was the Lotus Blossom stamp set (shame, haven't even had time to open mine yet!).

I had two projects for them and after some brief tips and instructions, I let them at it!  They all worked on them and helped each other and chatted while they waited for something ... and it was funny because I was free to take pictures of all their amazing creations that were proudly on display!  I think I got pictures of them all!

oh, okay, what'd they make?

A cute little Love Note (3x3" card/env) and a Berry Basket!

Both projects featured the NEW SAB DSP - drooooooling, seriously I love this color combination and I don't think I will ever have enough of this paper pack and oh did I mention the coordinating ribbons & designer buttons too!  And we used one of the SAB stamp sets on the card/env set!  Easy but Adorable!

There ya go!  Now ya have it!  

And for anyone wondering, yes I did go back in time to blog this event.  I had all the pictures but need to get them uploaded and rather than skip blogging the event all together, I decided to blog and post it on the dates I intended to do it!  Hope you don't mind the time travel!

Have a great day!

Rhonda

Demo Day

Hi!

Demo Day - what is that you ask?  Well this year I changed up my regular meeting schedule for my downline team of demonstrators.  So I created a quarterly schedule of events to offer a different variety and hopefully a little something for everyone regardless of what their hobby or business level is with Stampin' Up!  I firmly believe in gathering and sharing our passion for Stampin Up products!  {1st mo -Event Day, 2nd mo -Shoe Box Swap, 3rd mo -Build Your Business}

This was the 1st time I've offered this event day and given the timing on the actual calendar and it coinciding with the start of both Sale-a-Bration and the Occasions Mini Catalog I decided that I would host my January team meeting as an Open House to share inspiration and feature the new products.  I asked my INKin' All Night! team and my Adopted INKers gals if they would like to be Display Stampers, it was optional.  I had about 7-8 that offered to volunteer to make 3-5 samples (cards and or 3D items) with 1 product/tool, product suite, project kit or whatever they had pre-ordered themselves.

I had been busy stamping and preparing as well but I really wanted this event to be about engagement and enthusiasm, and there's no better way to do that and create excitement than to involve your team!  It was so fun, they all did amazing and I was so impressed and pleased how the day all came together!  Big believer in the statement that if we each do a little and come together, we can create a lot!  I think they all enjoyed the day and I know that I cannot wait to do it again!

I provided a couple of make-n-takes and several door prizes too, it was so fun!  Here's a couple of pictures from the day!

I think there were 15 of us!  Doing a little business before the stamping began!

 

  

   

My dining room table and buffet filled with all kinds of
beautiful inspiration from my team and adoptees!

Thanks!  I'll be sharing the projects that I created!  And if you are local, pencil in my OPEN HOUSE on JAN 17th (11a-2p) and stop by and check it out!

Happy Stamping,

Rhonda
