My Trip to New Jersey for OnStage!

Posted in About me, Card Ideas, Card Share, Special Promotions by

onstage-2016-nj

Sign welcoming us to the event

As many of you know, last weekend I went to Secaucus, New Jersey for the Local OnStage Event with Stampin’ Up!  It was an AMAZING time!  Oh boy where do I start…..

We left on Friday morning for a reception for Leaders on Friday night and the conference on Saturday.  On our way through Paramus, NJ we stopped at IKEA to wander around and look at all the pretty things they have.  They had a few set-ups in their showroom that would make a beautiful organized craft room.  I told my husband we are taking a road trip, I am so going back to get a few of those things!

Bright and early Saturday morning we had our event bag in hand including the first of our free giveaways, a stamp set from the new Occassions catalog, which becomes available on January 4, 2017.

DSCN0769.jpg

This is my bag full of all the goodies I received!  Be sure to check back over the next few weeks as I start unveiling new items and showing samples!!

We had a wonderful presentation and welcome from the CEO, Sara Douglass. Then it was time to get our hands on the new catalogs, the 2017 Occasions Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration mini catalog. Oh boy are you going to love them!!  I know, I know I say that every catalog but these really have some impressive products!  One particular set really caught my eye and I knew that was going to be my favorite one in the whole catalog. It went to the top of my wish list!  Then it was time for Prize Patrol and another giveaway.  And wouldn’t you know it was the set I was in love with!  I sat there like a little kid muttering… “Please call the letter T, please call the letter T”.  We are assigned a letter and if they call it then you are the winner of that particular set.  And what an awesome moment when they called my letter, I was so excited to win my one must have set!  I can’t wait to play with it and show off this gorgeous set, it reminds me of several sets Stampin’ Up! had years ago that were a favorite of mine.

After the initial shock of winning that stamp set I was so happy to be a part of more giveways and prizes to the tune of $163.75 in free sets and accessories!! Yowza!!  Have I mentioned I love being a demonstrator?!?! smiley-face

We spent the day listening to demonstrations using the new sets and accessories so we could bring back tons of ideas to share with YOU!  We also had stamping time with some of the new products, more prizes, more free giveaways, and of course swapping!

dscn0763

Make & takes using new sets and accessories!

At these events we make card fronts to swap with other demos for ideas.  There are so many talented stampers I am always amazed at how creative people are.  These were my swaps for the event.  I used Baby Bear and products from the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog. Baby Bear is also one of the stamps on sale this month for 25% off.  I just love this set, it is extremely versatile and can be used for almost any occasion! The set contains greetings for baby, love, wedding and thank you, but you can easily add a party hat and make it a cute birthday card!

Supplies used:

The event was so much fun and going to these is just one of the things I love about being a demonstrator!  Sometime I just can’t believe I actually get paid to stamp!

Thank you for visiting! Over the next few weeks I will be giving sneak peeks at some of the stamp sets that will be in the Occassions catalog and for Sale-A-Bration.  If you would like to get a notification each time I post a project share, specials from Stampin’ Up! or myself, class schedules or video tutorials, please make sure you click “Follow By Email” at the top of this post.  That way you won’t miss a thing!  As always, please feel free to share any post on Pinterest or Facebook!

Bleach Technique – Happy Ornament Card

Posted in Card Ideas, Card Share, Christmas, Holiday Catalog 2016, Techniques, Video Tutorial by

Hello everyone!  Today’s share focuses on using regular household bleach to whiten up areas when using a darker cardstock.  Every time you use it you never know the effect it will have.  In the sample below it doesn’t bleach evenly but almost takes on a look like a globe. To me  the lighter parts resemble countries, doesn’t the area under the “HA” and “every” look like Africa? I did go in and add a little Elegant Eggplant to the ribbon and top of the ornament after bleaching.  Then for the final touch, a little Wink of Stella over the whole thing, although it is a little hard to see in the picture. Enjoy!

Card Dimensions:

  • Elegant Eggplant – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
  • Gold Foil – 4″ x 5 1/4″
  • Elegant Eggplant – 3 3/4″ x 5″

Supplies Used (Not Stampin’ Up!):

  • Household bleach (not diluted)
  • Old paintbrush

Santa’s Golden Sleigh Card

Posted in Big Shot, Card Ideas, Card Share, Christmas, Holiday Catalog 2016, Video Tutorial by

This is another card that has been super popular on Pinterest and I have had some requests for a video so here it is!

The card uses the sleigh and reindeer from the Santa’s Sleigh Framelits, a greeting from the Oh What Fun set and This Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper.

As you watch the video, you will see me use the Multi-purpose glue, which is an awesome product but it tends to get everywhere.  At the end, in typical Jo fashion, I end up gluing the card to my grid paper.  Well there is an easy fix for this, the Silicone Sheet!  I have one but it had gone missing, thinking the last time I used it I may have picked it up with papers or an old grid sheet and it now resides in my county landfill. I looked everywhere and it was no where to be found. I did order a new one but at the time I shot the video it hadn’t arrived.  If you use this mat under your project, the glue won’t stick.  If you happen to get some glue on your project, you can use my other best friend, the Adhesive Remover, to get it right off.  I just wanted to go over this since I forgot to mention it in the video.  Enjoy !

Card Dimensions:

  • Cherry Cobbler cardstock – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″

Try Different Colors this Holiday

Posted in Card Ideas, Card Share, Holiday Catalog 2016, Video Tutorial by

Today’s share features the stamp Happy Ornament and of course watercolor!  I used the colors Sweet Sugarplum, Rich Razzleberry and Smoky Slate.  I have been seeing these colors a lot lately so that inspired me to try a color pallette not traditional in Christmas cards.  I also used the 1/2″ punch to make the little corners and a splatter technique using Wink of Stella. Enjoy!
