    2016 OnStage Display Board Samples–Tip Top Taupe!

    display stamper

    Welcome to Day 2 of my display stamper shares for the 2016 OnStage Display Boards in Salt Lake City!  Yesterday I kicked things off by sharing the samples I made with Watermelon Wonder and today I’m back with a little Tip Top Taupe for you.

    As I mentioned yesterday, the way it worked is they asked me to create 20 samples, approximately 4 each focused on each of the returning In Colors.  I did a mix of cards, 3D projects, and scrapbook pages – and I plan to have full blog posts for each project down the road, but I couldn’t wait to share them as a collection now… especially as we start getting excited for the new Annual catalog coming out on June 1st!

    Let’s kick things off with one of my more simple but such a pretty color combination card –

    I don’t know why it took me so long to discover Tip Top Taupe, Elegant Eggplant, and Whisper White as an amazing color combination!  Seriously, you have to give it a try!

    Or step away from the delicate and elegant style to a more contemporary, all occasion look.  See, the You’re So Sweet stamp set isn’t just for going on the Mini treat bag (even though it has been in a great discounted bundle together… they go together fabulously but don’t hesitate to separate them.  I promise, they can handle it! Winking smile)

    I made a fun little box.  This guy is 2”x2” and was simply made by scoring cardstock and using the Scalloped Tag Topper…. did you spot that Affectionately Yours designer paper again?

    And then, another case where I had photos begging to be scrapbooked!  This was from a trip with my guy on Valentine’s Day weekend to San Francisco.  I thought the boat from the Swirly Bird stamp set was a perfect touch to go with the photos.  I also love making my titles using the Epic Alphabet!  Yes, I stamped each letter, but it is easy and goes by quick because they are the clear photopolymer.  Sadly, I didn’t realize it was being discontinued at the end of May… you better believe this one is staying in my collection too. Smile

    Well, I hope you enjoyed these ideas today!  I really enjoyed creating them and with the different styles, there are options for everyone!

    Join me tomorrow as I have more display board samples to share!

  • One Tag Fits All Gift Toppers & Fun from the Sale-a-Bration Celebration

    One Tag Fits All Gift Toppers & Fun from the Sale-a-Bration Celebration

    A week ago, I held my Sale-a-Bration Celebration – my customer appreciation event to thank everyone for supporting me and stamping with me.  Because without you all, my crafting and business would be pretty sad and boring! Smile  I was inspired by the idea of a rhinestone gift topper by Dawn Snowangel and so I decided these would be perfect gifts for everyone who earned an invite to my event:

    Tips for making this project:

    • The Top Note Die makes a perfect sized topper for the top of Pearls and Rhinestone packages!  Score it the long way to make it easy to fold.
    • Adhere your Top Note with Fast Fuse or Sticky Strip straight to your package.
    • Layer the Notetag punch and the Scallop Tag Topper punch for a fun gift tag.
    • The “You’re a Gem” sentiment from One Tag Fits All is perfect to go with the rhinestones!
    • Get Golden!  Use the gold washi tape (watercolor wonder washi), gold sequin trim, and Gold Foil paper for the gem to really coordinate everything.
    • When stamping on Gold Foil, use Stazon to make sure it doesn’t smear later!

    Don’t Miss Them!  These items from the project are retiring!

    Want to see what we were up to at the event?

    They made two make & take projects – a butterfly card

    And a Sheltering Tree card  (Don’t worry, I’ll be posting the cards close up this week!)

    They played “Guess the Retiring Stamps” game  (see all the retiring stamps here)

    2015-04-20 20.02.24

    And studied for the “Guess the Colors” game

    2015-04-20 20.02.30

    Some people didn’t study and just made it up as they went along Smile

    2015-04-20 20.03.02

    2015-04-24 14.40.27

    2015-04-20 20.58.43

    And of course there were goodies and lots of fun for everyone!  And those folks who couldn’t join us because they lived too far away got their gifts and projects mailed to them because they still deserved the love too!

    Oh, and I had WINNERS!

    • Guess the Retiring Stamps Game – Kelsey was the big winner by getting all 10 of her guesses right!  Maybe she has some secret inside line to Stampin’ Up…. Smile 
    • Guess the Colors Game – Trisha & Saundra (not using the catalog) tied with 10 right!  Shannon (using the catalog) got 16 right!

    And if you are curious, here are all the colors they had to guess!

    I did have fancy sheets all printed out and ready to take with me, but I totally left them on the floor of my craft room, so enjoy our fancy grid paper sheets. Smile
