Events Council Blog Hop #3, Class Samples!

Hi and welcome back!

Thanks for joining us today as we share our CLASS SAMPLES from our April On Stage presentations!  Please be sure to go all the way around the blog hop, everyone has great ideas and you won't wanna miss out on any of them!

I will be hosting a class for customers once the SHARE WHAT YOU LOVE SUITE becomes available as an Early Release to customers on May 1st!  So stay tuned for more details in the coming week with regards to pricing and dates!  I want to leave myself a little "wiggle room" to change things up if I want!

For now, please enjoy what I presented at On Stage!  I designed a class with the stamp set featuring four cards and envelopes along with an adorable gift box made using the Envelope Punch Board to complete the packaging.  My customers love making cards and functional 3D packaging - which means something that is useful to them and that they can easily duplicate at home in their paper crafting!

For my class, I planned the cards with the idea of the attendee each receiving the LOVE WHAT YOU DO Stamp Set in clear mount along with a full package of the 

ARTISAN PEARLS and 1/4 package of the SHARE WHAT YOU LOVE DSP.

I would supply them with additional pieces of the Embellishment Kit, the Pearlized Doilies, and using the coordinating 8.5"x11" Cardstock package, and some of the wonderful Rich Razzleberry Velvet Ribbon!  My intentions are that they are able to leave my class with take home product that they can use right away and to be introduced to as much of the remaining product suite as possible!  This way they can decide what they'd like to add to their wish list!   

Old Olive Card base, Pearlized Doilies, Mini Paper Clip, White Pearlized Ribbon,
Artisan Pearls, One of the Greetings, Stitched Shapes Framelits & Layering Squares
and 3 of the DSP patterns, colored with Stampin' Blends

Grapefruit Grove Card base, White Pearlized Ribbon, 1 pattern of DSP, Dynamic TIEF,
Artisan Pearls (oops, took my pic too soon!), One of the Greetings, Stitched Shapes Framelits 

Mint Macaron Card base, Pearlized Doilies, Tranquil Tide Bakers Twine, White Pearlized Ribbon,
Artisan Pearls, One of the Greetings, Stitched Shapes Framelits and 1 pattern of DSP (fussy cut too).

Rich Razzleberry Card base, Pearlized Doilies, Tranquil Tide Bakers Twine, Artisan Pearls,
One of the Greetings, Stitched Shapes Framelits and 2 of the DSP patterns, colored with Stampin' Blends

And here is the 3D Gift Box using the Envelope Punch Board!  Using a larger piece of 1 of the DSP for the 'box' and another pattern for the belly band!  Used the Scallop Tag Topper punch on each end, tied off with the ribbon and added a little gift tag -- featuring the MAKE A DIFFERENCE ALPHABET set for their name!

So as you can see, that's 7 of the DSP patterns and 2 more in the Packaging!!  I used 4 of the 5 colors of Artisan Pearls!  Incorporated all 4 colors of the coordinating card stock as our card bases!  Used both the thread and twine, a mini paper clip & a metal rose from the Embellishment Kit!  Stamping and old school fussy cutting!  Topped off with the lush pretty Velvet Ribbon!

I hope you enjoy my idea and the projects - be sure to leave me a comment, I'd love to hear what you think!  If you're in the Phoenix area and would like to attend in person, please let me know!

Don't forget to continue the loop and see what everyone has to share today!!

Love What You Do, Thank You!

Hello and happy Friday!

I hope you enjoyed the BLOG HOP yesterday, if not and you missed it that's okay you can just go back one post and catch it today!

I have another card to share with you today from the display samples, it's a pretty quick and easy card!

Can you tell I am kind of in LOVE with the Dynamic TIEF - used it double time on each outer edge of the card.  A quick and simple greeting stamped in the center, added the little Floral Image from the MAKE A DIFFERENCE ALPHABET set, colored in with our Stampin' Blends, a pop of pearls and a little twine bow!  Pop that up with a 1/2 of the Pearlized Doilies underneath and then a final layer of black to bring it all together!

I'm off to Tucson to watch my baby girl Rachel dance tonight!  She is part of the University of Arizona, Black and Blue Hip Hop Crew and it's performance night!

Have a great weekend everyone and see ya next week!

Hello!

Thanks for joining us today for our second round of our North American Global Events Council Team Blog Hop!  If you're joining us here to start, please make sure you go all the way around to see all of the beautiful samples that our team created for April On Stage events in the North American region (US & Canada).

Today we are sharing some of our favorite samples that we made!  We are challenged to create a wide variety of samples, so I always try to use the different colors, different images in the stamp set, a variety of color combinations, as many of the patterns of dsp as I can ... you get the idea!  Leave me a comment if you would with which sample is your favorite!!

Grapefruit Grove (new color!) & Watercolor Background images

Primarily the DSP takes center stage here!

Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz, Mossy Meadow (welcome back!)

So many pretty greens and blues in this paper pack!

Another one of my favorites, features the super shimmery

Rich Razzleberry and Crumb Cake, the Dynamic Emb Folder,
Velvet Ribbon, Artisan Pearls & popped up flowers and embossing!

To be honest, who doesn't love Pink!

I've always enjoyed pink but it's kind of a signature color now!
Basic background stamping, single layer stamping and coloring in!

Please make sure that you continue on the Blog Hop all the way around!

Love What You Do, Favorite!

Hi!

I wanted to continue to share some of my samples from our Love What You Do product suite with you!  Today is probably one of my absolute true favorites!

Let me know what you think!

This card uses a little bit of everything in the product suite!  It features the Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder in the background on Whisper White Thick card stock - in person this really pops and you can't help but reach to touch it!  

I also fell in love with the blue/green floral page and immediately went old school with fussy cutting as many bits and pieces (save em all!) and some full images of florals and leaves too!  I added some DSP to the bottom portion of the card and a band of Tranquil Tide ribbon, which kind of framed the card.  

I stamped the greeting and then used the ever popular (and always on stand by!) Stitched Shapes Framelits to cut out the greeting with the square, and then lined it up a 2nd time to trim it down a bit to make it a rectangle just the size I needed.

I tucked the greeting under the ribbon and then started layering bits and pieces of the floral cut outs and leaves.  Vary the heights by using mini glue dots and dimensionals.  Once secure, I finished it off by adding some Artisan Pearls here and there!

Labor of Love with the fussy cutting, but it was so worth it!

Hugs,

Happy Hump day!

Note Cards, Love What You Do

Hi!

Thanks for popping back by!  I hope you had a great weekend!  They are never long enough are they?  Luckily for me, I have Monday's off from my day job!!  I try to use my Friday's and Monday's to work on my house duties and on my SU! business!

I wanted to share another set of cards that I made for my displays, this time it features the Notecard & Envelope size cards!  These are perfect and they are pretty cute if I say so myself!

I used the Share What You Love DSP, the Rich Razzleberry Velvet Ribbon, the Make a Difference Alphabet, the Love What You Do stamp set and the Artisan Pearls, The Embellishment Kit for the laser die cut tags, and Stampin' Blends to color in!

This one is probably one of my favorites!!

This paper is seriously so fun to work with!
Just look at all of the color choices!

Playing again with the Alphabet and a favorite pattern of DSP!

Using the Embellishment Kit tags and Mini Paper Clips!

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you are enjoying the display samples that I've made!  We are doing another round of the EVENTS COUNCIL BLOG HOP#2 on Thursday - so come back by and hop around with us!

Have a great day!

Share the Love, Love Notes

Hi
I hope you enjoyed the Blog Hop yesterday!  And thank you for stopping back by today!  I'm going to share with you a set of Love Notes that I made for my display.  They are the cute little adorable 3"x3" Note Cards and Envelopes, often this size is referred to as Love Notes!

These were so fun, quick and yet adorable!  Simple layers of DSP, touches of ribbon and for most there is a popped up greeting featuring punches and framelits.

Check back next week for more!
Hugs
Rhonda

North America Events Council Blog Hop

Hi!
Welcome to our first North America Events Council Blog hop! We've talked about it for awhile and we finally decided to make it happen!  We've been together on this team for the past 18 months!  Last weekend we each presented at our local Stampin' Up! corporate On Stage Event!  I was assigned to work and present in Las Vegas!  The others were at different venues in the USA & Canada!

As part of the EC team, each event we are assigned a product suite to showcase in a Product Spotlight stage presentation, along with delivering a business strategy on how to use that featured product in our business, sharing it with all attendees as well as all demonstrators once we return home and our spoiler alerts have been lifted.

This time we were assigned the SHARE WHAT YOU LOVE product suite.  It's a new EARLY RELEASE from the upcoming 2018-19 catalog!  It is available now to demonstrators and will be released early to customers in May!  As the 7 of us worked on our display samples, and as we neared the end, my friend and council mate Bonnie was texting me about a page layout she was working on ... so I quickly grabbed some product and started playing on my work space ... sharing ideas to see if I could help her along to complete her page ... thank you Facetime!!

In the end, we each ended up making a 12"x12" page and sharing them with our team and quickly, I mean by the end of the day or within 24 hrs, the next thing you know we EACH had completed a page!  We all chose to feature our time on the Events Council team on our page - kind of like a farewell hug!

Here is mine:

Each of us did a page and used pictures from the ONE TIME we were all together as a EC Team in SLC, at our Live On Stage event!  It's when we all met in person and the bonding and laughing and joking and really getting to know each other kicked into high gear!  They are such special ladies and we served on a very special unique team!

I know these 6 other ladies will always hold a very special place in my heart!  There are sweet things about each of them that just makes me smile!  We look forward to seeing each other in Orlando at the SU! 30th Anniversary On Stage event in Nov 2018!

We've also decided to host a BLOG HOP each week on Thursdays during April to share our other project samples featuring the SHARE WHAT YOU LOVE suite!  So be sure to go all the way around the loop, to see everyone's pages this week and we'll start with cards next week!
