CentreStage – Melbourne

Posted on November 30, 2018 by sharon

Centrestage is an event for Demonstrators titled at Silver Elite or above. I made the title of Silver Elite a couple of years ago and have been fortunate to attend 4 of these events.

Centrestage is a time when we have some specialised training for leaders and Stampin’ Up! make announcements so that we can better support our downlines.

In Melbourne this year we were treated to a lovely dinner and dessert which I got to enjoy with the lovely Marelle, our Team leader and Melissa a fellow demonstrator under Marelle. This was the first time we’d met Melissa as she is from WA.

And finally the three of us also had a photo with the Stampin’ Up logo. It was such a great night to share with these two amazingly talented women.

If you would like the opportunity to start and grow your Stampin’ Up! business then contact me and we can set some goals and get you on the path to CentreStage

Stampers Anonymous Team Blog Hop Sketch Challenge #1

Posted on November 14, 2018 by sharon

Thank you for joining us for our first Stampers Anonymous Team Blog Hop!

The challenge has been set by Nikki Stalker and here is the sketch we are to work with. The inspiration for this sketch is from page 97 of the Annual Catalogue.

Here is the card that I made for the blog hop. I used the Snow is Glistening Stamp Set which is only available till the end of November or while supplies last. I used the colours in the Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper as my inspiration. If you love this paper I would suggest you purchase it as soon as possible as its been very popular and has sold out overseas and will sell out here too and once its sold out its gone.

If you get out of order you can click on the links below to get to get back onto the blog hop.

Customer Thank You Cards for September & October

Posted on November 7, 2018 by sharon

I love to make thank you cards for my customers as I really appreciate everyone that comes shopping with me. So with that in mind I made this gorgeous cards using the new stamp set Happiness Surrounds which is only available during the month of November or while stocks last. This stamp set can be used for so many occasions and if you just change up a sentiment you can add so many more cards.

I was inspired by a card that Connie Collins from Constantly Stamping made during the Artisan Design Team Blog Hop. I was at my team leaders house having a stamping day and so only had very limited supplies with me, though I could have used my team leaders ink too, I liked that I made this with only a couple of colours.

Hers 60th Birthday Card

Posted on November 5, 2018 by sharon

I have a customer that recently had a BIG birthday. She turned 60 so I made her a special card.

I have kept this card very simple and used Thick Whisper White Card as my base then used the subtle embossing folder on the Whisper white layer. I used the Petals & More Thinlits dies for the leaves and cut some to add a bit more texture.

The ribbon is gorgeous Merry Merlot & Copper 5/8″ Reversible Ribbon. I just love this ribbon and how it looks on this card.
