SSC359 Turtle-y Awesome

Hi All!  Welcome back for another Sunday Stamps challenge.

The new two-tone card stock has a white core, which is great for sanding techniques.  It reminds me of the old Core'dinations paper, so I dug some of my old stock out to play with.

Here is this week's sketch by Heather.

Stamps: Turtle-y Awesome, Oceanfront; Paper: Gumball Green Core'dinations, Cloud Cover, Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Whisper White, Turtle-y Cute DSP; Ink: Balmy Blue, Gray Granite, Memento Tuxedo Black, Versamark, Stampin' Blends; Accessories: Shade of Green Hexagons; White EP, Sanding Block, Turtle Textures EF, Turtle-y Awesome Dies, Die-Cutting Machine, Dimensionals.

At OnStage, we attended an after hours event using Turtle-y Awesome, and I managed one make & take with limited supplies.

Sara and Logan did a cute turtle-y stage presentation at the closing session of OnStage.  I sent this gif to my sons, who were huge TMNT fans as kids.

OnStage Raleigh 2025

Hi All!  Post-OnStage, I've returned from Raleigh after a couple days of friend-visiting and hiking in Shenandoah National Park.  I didn't participate in my typical OnStage photographing of all the things, so I thought I would create a post for the memory banks of the few photos I did manage.

My downline Melissa was kind enough to model the Bogg-type event bag for us.

Here's all us roomies together enjoying the All-White Welcome Party on the first night and celebrating Pi Day later in the week.

They had a new fun thing - a t-shirt cannon, and I ended up with one!

Here's all the swag I came home with.

In the Product Playground, we got to play with some techniques using the two-tone card stock,

and here are the new 2025-27 In Colors.

It was another great Stampin' Up! event.  I really enjoyed my time with other lovely crafty ladies!!

Creativity Now 2024

Hello All!  Recently Stampin' Up! demonstrators had the opportunity to attend Creativity Now event from home featuring Nests of Winter suite, coming in the Sep-Dec Mini Catalog.  In addition to the previous card I posted for my Creativity Now swap, I have a bunch of cards to share.

Here was our warm up card, coloring with Stampin' Blends.

Here's a fun card using the die-cut frame and Watercolor Pencils.

This was a popular sample, that used the die-cut frame as a mask to sponge the background.  Very fun!

The last sample was a little gift box.  I took the idea and created a card instead.

And finally a couple of bonus cards.

SSC338 Winterly Tree Tops

Hello All!  Welcome to another Sunday Stamps sketch challenge.  This past weekend demonstrators attended Creativity Now online event, which included an early release of a new Nests of Winter suite, available in the upcoming Sept - Dec Mini Catalog.  My downline and I always create a swap with the new event bundle, so this was a good occasion to combine my swap with this week's sketch.

It's so nice to have a large collection of coordinating product to create with.  The projects literally creates themselves.  The birds were die-cut straight from the DSP, and I usually back them with an additional card stock die-cut to give them more stiffness.

Here's this week's sketch by Amy.

Stamps: Winterly Tree Tops; Paper: Gray Granite, Basic Black, Whisper White, Nests of Winter DSP; Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Versamark, Stampin' Blends; Accessories: Earth Tones Shimmer Gems, Natural Tones Linen Thread, White Embossing Powder, Birch Wood Embossing Folder, Winterly Tree Tops Dies, Die-Cutting Machine, Dimensionals.

OnStage @ Home 2023

On Saturday, we attended OnStage @ Home demonstrator event from the comfort of our computers ~ very convenient!  

Before the event, the event swag box, celebrating Stampin' Up!'s 35th anniversary, arrived in the mail.

It included:

• Notebook & pens
• OnStage pin
• Photo props
• Socks (always love fun socks!)
• Puzzle (desk toys are a good idea)

My downline swap using the sneak peek Bee Mine bundle was posted on the blog on Sunday.  Here are the additional samples we created during the event with the bundle.

This card has a funny side-eye expression. I'm wondering what other card I can use this emoji with... hmmm.

Super fun to stamp together, even virtually.  If you are thinking of joining Stampin' Up, there's a great join offer coming during Sale-a-Bration!

Creativity Now

Last weekend we had our online Creativity Now event, presented for demonstrators by Stampin' Up!  It was just a fun time to create together.  We were able to purchase the Splendid Thoughts bundle ahead of time in order to play along at home.  Here are the cards we made at the event.

This is a bag tag.

I love this sample!

This sample highlights the beautiful foil designs in the patterned paper pack.

And finally I went out on my own to create this card, inspired by a card from Lorri Heiling.
