CARD: Father’s Day card from the retiring Lovely as a Tree stamps

CARD

I need to have a moment of silence and reflection on the fact that the Lovely as a Tree stamp set is retiring. I have been a demonstrator for 15-1/2 years and this set is older then me. One of my first stamp sets. So versitle. Works for every occasion. I'm very sad to see it go. This is a great example of a masculine / Father's Day card created with the set. It's layered on strips of the retiring Wood Textures Designer Paper.

CARD: A birthday note from the retiring PS You’re the Best Stamps

CARD

The Flirty Flamingo polka dots are the Brights DSP, and the banner tails are cut with the Triple Banner Punch. The background is textured with the Subtle Folder.

CIRCLE CHART

We designed the center of the camera (lens) to coordinate with the Circle Punches and Layering Circle dies to create different effects. You can stamp words in the center, stamp a scene, punch it out to make a shaker card, add a photo to make it a photo card or stack them to create a zoom lens. Here's a chart of what punches and dies work with the lens.

STAMPIN' UP ON STAGE

April 2019 Stampin' Up!'s Onstage Events wrapped up this weekend. This is an epic event, held twice a year for demonstrators of any level who love to craft, learn new techniques, get new products and best of all...get the new catalog! The events took place simoulanteaously across the US & Canada (and around the world). My Stamp It demo group were spread out at their local locations. I love that we have family every where we go. For many this was the first time ever coming to a Stampin Up event, and even meeting our stamping family in person. Since we share with each other on our facebook group, it feels like we've known each other for years. In addtion to getting sneak peeks at the new catalog, I got to debut my Million Dollar stamp set called "Capture the Good". Papercrafting and Photography are my two favorite things, and I love that I could combine them into this set. We designed it to go with the circle punches and dies. I did a presentation sharing many different ways to use the set. I'll share some on the sneak peek video too.

Smile you on candid camera! Eclipse card from the special Capture the Good stamp set

WELCOME

Blog hopping with the Stampin Up Incentive Trip Achievers. This blog hop is always filled with amazing ideas, from a few of the company's Top Demonstrators. It’s an honor to be a part of this, and I know you’re going to enjoy these projects. Our theme this month we are featuring Sneak Peeks from the upcoming Annual catalog. I am blessed to be able to share something special and very personal for my Blog Hop project today. It's featuring a brand new Stampin' Up stamp set called "Capture the Good" that I designed for being a Million Dollar Seller in the company. I've waited a loooong time for this debut. Papercrafting is my first love, and photography is my 2nd. With this stamp set I was able to put them both together. I've included the video of my presentation at the Atlantic City OnStage event featuring tons of ideas, and different ways to use this stamp set. My card share is the Eclipse technique featuring the camera from the Capture the Good stamp set, and "SMILE" from the Large Letters Dies. If you haven't made an Eclipse card , they are so fun and easy. I have a video here showing how to make them. But be warned, these Large Letters dies are retiring and will only be available "while supplies last". Be sure to pick yours up asap if you don't have them yet.   [caption id="attachment_43610" align="alignnone" width="640"] Here's the stamp set!
