convention 2014 – Northwest Stamper

A Monochromatic Thanks with Seasonally Scattered

I was thinking last night about blog posts and realized that I had been so good about posting my display board projects from the 2014 convention, but then got sidetracked with other projects (and to be honest, I wanted to mix up the stamp sets I was featuring here) and completely forgot to finish sharing the display board projects! I had saved some of my favorites for last and so I want to make sure to get them posted…. like today’s card!

This was one of the first I did with the Seasonally Scattered stamp set that I LOVED. It’s not flashy, but I like it’s understatedness. What do you think?

Tips for this card:

Did you know, the Lovely as a Tree has a leaf stamp that goes PERFECTLY with the Seasonally Scattered thanks stamp?? Stamp your thanks image and then start stamping some falling leaves in Versamark and heat emboss with gold ink for a pretty fall touch.
Wrap some linen thread around a few times to add some texture and a simple rustic touch to your card.
In keeping with the brown monotone look for the card, I sponged the edge of my Very Vanilla cardstock with Crumb Cake to help all of the cardstock pieces transition nicely with each other.

Its delightfully simple and yet elegant to do… and you could mix and match your colors to get exactly the look you want. For this card, I used: Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, and Very Vanilla; but shake it up when you try it at home!

Stampin’ Up 2014 Holiday Catalog Sneak Peeks!

So, I’ve been hearing that a lot of folks are eager for sneak peeks from the holiday catalog and while I don’t have copies of the new catalog yet – I can get those on August 1st – I do have my photos from convention that I can share! So, I thought I would put them all in one place for you to have a chance to scroll and see lots of what is coming out soon at the end of August! So get ready for a lot of scrolling!

Some quick side notes:

We are not allowed to show pictures of the inside of the catalog, just the cover. So we are limited to the samples and displays from convention until I place my preorder and start creating and sharing more of what I have here at home.
Want a copy of the Holiday catalog? If you have a demonstrator, make sure they know you are waiting for yours – we get to order and start mailing ours in August! If you don’t have a demonstrator, let me know you want one! I’ll be automatically mailing out copies to all of you who have ordered from me in the last 6 months – so, don’t worry, you’ll get yours early! Then after August Stamp Club, I’ll start mailing out extra copies to folks who request them.
Want to get your hands on Holiday items early? Did you know that if you join my Fun n’ Crafty group of demonstrators, you could see the entire catalog online AND get your favorites first in August!? No selling required! Email me (jennifer@nwstamper.com) to chat about how you can get $125 in Holiday catalog items for only $99 with free shipping. THEN get 30% off your first order of $150 or more!

Project Life Cards Make Great Altered Picture Frames!

By now, You’ve probably heard of Project Life and know the cards in each kit are great for quick and easy scrapbooking (if you want to learn more about project life, I have a video about it here). But when they gave a set to us to use for the 2014 Stampin’ Up Convention display boards and use in other ways, I found myself looking at them in a different light. And thus, this altered picture frame came to be!

I loved this project and even my non-crafty hubby liked it and said he wanted one for his desk at work! Thankfully the frame is only $1 at Michaels and another set of Everyday Adventure Project Life by Stampin’ up is easy to come by! So, I’ll be creating another one soon for him.
See all the cards in the kit here.

The idea was to take this chunky frame and then start layering the cards around the edges to create a tiled design. It all started with the Best Day Every card that is found in the Everyday Adventure Accessory Kit. I thought it was cool because it is die cut so that you see through the card to whatever is behind it, so I thought it would look neat showing the wood of the frame through the letters.

From there I started laying out other cards that I thought had cool complimentary colors and patterns to fill up the frame. Once I had the plan, I could flip over the frame and trace the edges of the frame on the back of the Project Life card for any given spot.

Then just trim off the extra paper and glue to your frame. In my case, I ended up using the Tombow Liquid Glue. And then finish up the seams by adding some embellishements from the Accessory kit (like those clear hearts) and other items in my craft room (like the rhinestones on the honeycomb card and the wooden accents such as the arrow and banner piece).

It actually came together really quickly and easily. And did you realize, that the Banner Punch actually is the same width and just a smidge shorter than the banners in the Wooden Accents? Cool huh?

Finally, I didn’t use it a lot, but I love the Remember This Project Life stamp set and it turned out to be perfect for stamping one of the stickers from the Accessory kit and balancing out everything on my frame!

Its an easy and inexpensive idea for a great gift!

Wanna Make This With Me?

I’m running a Project Life Night class next Monday and RSVPs are closing first thing tomorrow morning! We will be making lots of fun projects including:

Amazing Birthday Thank You Card–Display Board Sample

I’m back! I made it home from the 2014 Stampin’ Up convention and had a great time. As I mentioned before, I was honored to be invited to create samples for the display boards this year. Everyone coming to convention received 3 stamp sets – Amazing Birthday, Kinda Eclectic, and Seasonally Scattered (coming soon in the 2014 Holiday Catalog). So, as display stampers, we received our sets early and were asked to make 8 projects for each stamp set. I will admit, this was an intimidating task, especially when I learned the caliber of stampers who were joining me with creating for the boards. I eventually decided to just think of it as “they will make the stunning over the top cards and I’ll make the simpler card class versions” .

I wasn’t allowed to post or share my samples until after Convention, so here we are and I’m excited to start sharing with you!

Thank You card with Amazing Birthday

When I first saw this stamp set, I kept thinking I needed to make birthday cards. But then it hit me, there is this sentiment that doesn’t need to be birthday at all! So, I started pulling different colors and stamped images together to create this card.

But you want to know the best part? I mailed this card in to Stampin’ Up in the beginning of June (so they could get the Display Boards together in time) and then on the last day of convention, Shelli Gardner showed this card during her main stage presentation!

Sure they aren’t exactly the same, but my the similarities are there! It made me feel extra proud of my card that I could have had a little moment where my design idea overlapped with the creative inspiration from the head of Stampin’ Up!

In both cases, we used the striped banner stamp to form a layer between the Starburst pieces – hers pointed out and mine pointed in (you can’t see the banner tips because they are under the Pumpkin Pie starburst. Plus that super fun Surprise circle for our center element. With everything popped up on dimensionals of course!

Oh, here is the stamp set we were both working form so you can see what we were using!

Amazing Birthday stamp set (wood mount – clear mount)

Card Supplies Used:

Amazing Birthday Stamp Set
Sweet Taffy Designer paper
Starburst Framelits
Big Shot
Banner Framelits
Colors – Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Crumb Cake

Also, many of the Display Board stampers are sharing their convention projects up on a Convention 2014 Display Board Stampers board on Pinterest. So, watch that board for lots more great ideas over the next month or two!

Stampin’ Up Convention 2014–Display Boards and Day 1 Activities

Well, once again here I sit after midnight working on my blog post. ha ha! There must be something in my DNA that says it is not possible for me to go to bed before 12am!

But, I just had lots of photos and details to share with you from today’s Stampin’ Up Convention activities that I figured I had to jump on and get them posted!

You may have seen some of them throughout the day on my Facebook page or on Instagram, but some are new too!

So a quick run down on the highlights of the day…

We started out with the opening session, kicked off by seeing all the different teams of employees from the Home Office and then a chat by Shelli Gardner

Oh, and did I mention they started it all off by giving everyone a random single stamp (I’m looking forward to playing with my camera stamp!)

Then we got to see the cover and get a walkthrough of the upcoming 2014 Holiday Catalog!

I’ll admit, I wasn’t wowed by the cover… but then they started showing what was inside and lets just say that my attitude turned around REALLY QUICK!!

While I can’t show you the inside of the catalog, I can show you a few products and project photos

But there is so much good stuff including new framelits, new embossing folders, new paper, new GIFT BOX PUNCH BOARD, new mini stapler, new Project Life by Stampin’ Up kits, great new décor kits, new TREE PUNCH & stamp set, ENDLESS WISHES is BACK, and more! Oh and the new ribbon and embellishments…. guess I’ll be doing a share for those because you will want to try them out!
(email me at jennifer@nwstamper.com if you want to get to the head of the list for shares as soon as they are available!)

Yes, I’m already trying to start working on my holiday catalog budget

Then we got to do some make & takes

Before heading over to look at displays including the AWESOME board created by many talented stampers on my Fun n’ Crafty team!

Contributers included:

Stacey Lane
Kathy Thisted
Rosemary Bryson
Sara Grafton
Elise Hamilton
Jennifer Blomquist

Seriously, don’t they rock!

See All The Display Board Photos Here

I also got to see my name in print too!

It is so incredibly amazing to see my name next some of these amazing stampers and Artisans.

Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing the projects I created for Stampin’ Up to give ideas for the 3 stamp sets we got at Convention – Kinda Eclectic, Amazing Birthday, and Seasonally Scattered (from the holiday catalog). So make sure to check back often!

…

We had some great classes with stamping and business tips and then some of us went to evening classes while others headed out to Riverton to visit the home office!

We got to see the shipping department along with great stamping inspiration.

(amazing hot air balloon by Ilina Crouse)

See All the Home Office Tour Photos Here

Then it was time for a late dinner and back to the hotel to check out our swaps, reflect on the day, share with our Fun n’ Crafty group members back home who couldn’t attend, and try to get some sleep!

Tomorrow is going to be a great day!

Stampin’ Up Convention 2014–Check In Day

I told my mom that I wasn’t going to stay up until 3 again… but somehow it is 2:30am and so I’m going to have to keep this quick. But I couldn’t go to bed without sharing some of the fun that is happening here in Salt Lake City! Oh, but first:

Ok, now on to the fun stuff, right? Here is your 2014 Stampin’ Up Convention recap for check in day:

We left hot and sunny Seattle early in the morning (we being my mom, Kathy, and myself) to fly to Salt Lake City for the Stampin’ Up convention. The night before I learned that Karen (one of my downline and Fun n’ Crafty stamper) had not been able to make cards for a swap due to life circumstances. And since I knew she would have tried if it was all possible for her to do it, I decided to surprise her by creating 25 card swaps for her while on the plane…

ok, I didn’t finish them all on the plane, but I did get the stamping done! the rest we finished at the hotel.

Then after some lunch, myself, Kathy, and Karen headed in to the Gathering Place and the display boards to start setting up the board that my group had been asked to fill. We have some fantastic stampers in our Fun n’ Crafty group and I was so excited to be able to share some of their creations with everyone at convention!

(For those of you that love display board pictures, check back tomorrow when I’m allowed to officially post pictures )

We went off to a group dinner and stamping with some friends and then soon it was 6pm and time for Convention bag pick up and the Paper Pumpkin Night Out party! As you can see, a lot of people were excited to get their convention bag.

I got in and out of line 3 times over the course of the evening but turns out the “B” line or “A/B” line (since we were picking up based on our last name) was a popular one this year.

Something fun to see… Rich Jutkins (the President of Stampin’ Up) and Sara Douglas and her family all were helping get bags and supplies put together for use! It’s not everyday you see executives for a company getting down and dirty helping serve the rank & file. And this is one of the many reasons why we love them!

Then it was off to the party with lots of cookies and cake treats, a make & take featuring the September 2014 Paper Pumpkin kit, prizes, and a couple displays (though the lighting was terrible for photos).

I’m so grateful to be able to attend many of the Stampin’ Up events and thought it was so cool to get a chance to hang out for a few minutes with Stampin’ Up home office staff and stamper extrordinaire – Shannon West – and the oh so sweet Andrea Withers who has been the coordinator for all my Convention Display Board activities this year! <3 them!

And eventually I got my bag and all the goodies it contained (stamps and supplies for this weekends crafting projects, including NEW sneak peek stuff!!)

The Convention bag this year is actually a nice bag that is perfectly sized for tablets (or a few stamp cases as I discovered). It isn’t huge, but that is probably a good thing for me! Have you seen how full I stuff my bags??!

These aren’t all the photos I took, these photos and more are up on my Facebook Page and I’ll be sharing more over the next few days while I’m out and about the conference and then posting many of them at night. So, make sure you have liked my page to get all the updates!

Ok, and now I REALLY need to get some sleep. My alarm goes off in 3 hrs!

Stampin’ Up! Convention 2013–Day 3 Wrap Up

Well convention wrapped up this weekend and ended with a bang! I’ve been traveling ever since (flew home Saturday night then flying out to Arizona to visit family on Sunday)! But I wanted to share some of the fun of the last day of Convention too. So here we go!

More amazing swap cards

Every time I go to convention, I save some of my swaps to trade each day. That way I can have fun swapping cards each day and this year I was so glad I still had cards on the last day since there were some fabulous cards being swapped then. Like this adorable card:

If this is your card or you know whose card it is, let me know so I can give appropriate credit.

General Sessions

Then it was on for more stamping presentations and business classes. First up was Sara Douglas (Shelli Gardner’s daughter) who always shares some amazing projects. This was no exception!

First she showed some great class ideas that share some adorable banner project. The first up was a cute halloween banner.

Don’t forget this banner kit and accessory kit are one of the options available free as part of the Pick a Project bonus when you sign up as a demonstrator between now and August 31st!

Next up was an adorable mini album out of a place setting project kit (also available as a Pick a Project bonus) and a cute set of Christmas cards.

More Milestone Marches

I also have to give a shout out to my mom who reached her 5 year milestone and got to march across the stage which is awesome, especially with a big crowd clapping and cheering for you. So CONGRATS, MOM! (she is just to the right of Darla who is waving to the camera)

And that was just the morning! I spent lunchtime meeting Shelli Gardner

Lots of Display Boards

And checking out display boards (I thought it was cute that they spelled out “Inspire Create Share” out of the cards on the boards.

Closing Session

The more business classes and closing session. I loved some of these scrapbooking projects that were shown using the This and That journal and a new cool divided page scrapbook album.

We learned about Stampin’ Up!’s investment in innovation and change and it got me excited to try new things and see how I can do more different things. I’ll be putting together some new offerings but if you have suggestions for what you would love to see from me, please shoot me a message at jennifer@nwstamper.com or leave me a comment!

Session ended with a bang – literally!

And more prizes too! The very last prize patrol gave 25 people every single stamp set in the holiday catalog!!! WOW! Then they ended with a final giveaway for everyone – another super fun stamp set called Yippie Skippie!

It was the end of an awesome few days full of gifts, learning, inspiration, and friends! I can’t wait to come back next year. If you want to join me, don’t forget to save the date – the week of July 14th (most likely wed or thursday through Saturday)

This was my 5th convention and tonight I’ll finish uploading all my pictures so you can get the rest of the feel of it. Then on to posting more projects that inspired me here on the blog. Until then, have a fabulous day!
