Second: TODAY (Wednesday, October 9th) is the last day of our Stamp Sale~ 15% off all stamp sets from the Annual Catalog!

Traveling with Stampin’ Friends

March 28, 2024March 28, 2024Leave a comment

Stampin’ Up! offers a reason to travel with friends: Two weeks ago, a few of my Sprinkled Ink team (& friends) flew to Houston, Texas for OnStage (the SU! version of convention). We went a day early and did a bit of sightseeing at the Cockrell Butterfly Center, followed by lunch at our new favorite mediterranean restaurant “Fadi’s” (there is *always* good food involved on vacation).

The next few days were filled with fun like stamping, learning, greeting friends from all over the world, celebrating milestones, eating more good food, winning Prize Patrol, hearing the vision and strategy of the company, seeing the new catalog and enjoying (enduring?!) so much togetherness!

This was the card I created to trade with other demonstrators using the Filled With Happiness bundle (I will show how to create this fun-fold in a future video). Swapping is an essential part of stamping events, and I came home with 30 different samples to display at upcoming events.

It’s fun to feel spoiled by all the SWAG you receive at these events~ I snapped this photo at our hotel of the amazing backpack and gifts we received on check-in. In addition, we took home rubber stamps, Designer Series Paper, a color wheel and the catalog (it’s important to leave extra room in your luggage for all the goodies)!

Next year, OnStage will be in Raleigh, NC (March 2025) and I’m already looking forward to it! What would you suggest are things we MUST SEE in/near Raleigh? Best food?

Would you like to come with us? There is room at our table for more stamping friends… invest in yourself with a Starter Kit and we’ll happily save you a seat!

Pink for October

October 19, 2019October 29, 20191 Comment

Updated 10/29/19: Marni Maxwell is the winner of the giveaway! Hurrah!

The most frightening things in life aren’t monsters, witches and goblins. The scariest things are more personal and realistic, like loneliness, human cruelty and illness that can lead to loss of life. If you or someone you love is/has gone through cancer, you know how truly scary that can be.

Let’s pause the Halloween parade for a moment and find a way to give support to those who are struggling with cancer. Sometimes we don’t know what to say or do when a friend is going through illness: a card can be a tangible reminder that you are loving and praying for them always.

While I made this Tri-fold card pink for Breast Cancer awareness, you could easily change the colors to support the challenge you are consoling. IMG_3441-(W) 2

It opens twice, with plenty of space to write your message. IMG_3442-(W) 2

The internet is good for some things: When I was looking for what to write to someone with cancer, I found this article (from the cancer.livebetterwith website) had the best advice. Here’s a tidbit from Alison & Brian, who were interviewed for ideas:

” ‘Anecdotes of everyday life connect the reader back with the real world’ – and this can be a pleasant change for people who are spending lots of time at home in bed, or traveling to and from the hospital… Even small observations can really help to draw your reader out of their day-to-day routine and give them pause to think and reflect.”

Download card tutorial here

Let’s make someone’s day: If you have a friend going through Breast Cancer now (October 2019), please leave a comment and tell me why they are special to you. I’ll draw a winner at random for the Support Ribbon Framelit Dies (for you to keep and make this card) and a lovely Breast Cancer Crusade Ribbon bracelet (for you to give to your friend)!

Winner will be drawn on October 28th.
