Retiring: Custom Tee Bundle

Today is like to spotlight the retiring Custom Tee Bundle.

I think this bundle has been highly underrated even though there was even an accent set included in this year's sale-a-bration offerings.

Check out some of these super cute designs by some of my Demonstrator friends

The bundle includes the Custom Tee photopolymer stamp set and the T-Shirt Builder Framelits.  Both items can also be purchased individually.  

What cute designs would you come up with if you had this set to play with?  I'd love to see your ideas.

Happy stampin'

The Sun is Setting

Some are up to 50% off. All are while supplies last! Shop now and get yourself a Paper Pumpkin subscription while you're at it. You won't be sorry!

OnStage April 2017

What a fantastic day!  My day started far too early for a Saturday morning.  I was awoken by some very noisy birds outside the window at my parents home, where I stayed last night.  Why, was I there, you ask?  Well, the answer is quite simple.  It was closer to the Allstream centre in Toronto where I'd be attending OnStage local, and they were going to be watching my kids so it was really a win, win!

So, I was up at 5am with the birds, but I really didn't get going until about 6:15.  I got up and dressed and set out for my day.  I knew check-in for the event was going to open at 7:30, so I wanted to try to get there as close to that as possible.  I arrived at OnStage around 7:15, and there were demonstrators already lined up to check-in.  Lucky Stampin' Up! has this process down to a fine art and I was registered and ready to go in really quickly!  I could hardly contain my excitement.

Each Demonstrator received a bag full of goodies upon our arrival, including a new stamp set from the upcoming catalog.  Of course, I can't share that with you yet; but keep checking back as I'll be posting some samples using new products in the coming days.  Also in the bag were our credentials for the day.  These included our name badge and rank.  I also received a button to indicate this was my first ever OnStage event...FINALLY!  After 6 years as a Demonstrator, I'd say it was time ;)

The day consisted of recognition, business practices, the new catalog stamping demonstrations and of course STAMPING!  We made four different make & takes, again using new catalogue products and I can't wait to share these with you. I know you're going to love them.  Prize patrol was in full effect throughout the day and both of my downline who attended, and I, were lucky winners.

Congratulations to Lisa Hardie and Teresa Steinman!

It was an amazing day of learning, crafting and spending time with my downline, upline and teams.  I can't wait to do it all again next year!

Birthday Bright Project Kit

Did you notice the Birthday Bright project kit in the Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog? As you can see in this picture, there are supplies to make 12 cards with envelopes and 12 tags. There are lots of special accents on these projects - foil and glimmer paper, fringe, enamel shapes, mini bows, mini clothespins, acetate sheets, confetti, honeycomb circles, etc.

Not to mention, the box! Did you see that adorable box in the corner?!

To complete the cards and tags, you need the Birthday Bright stamp set, some ink (Basic Black, Emerald Envy, So Saffron, Watermelon Wonder) and adhesive (Fast Fuse, Fine-Tip Glue Pen, Dimensionals).

Instructions are included with the kit, so you could easily complete the projects on your own. However, since stamps and ink are not included, I am having a class on Saturday, March 25, from 8-9:30pm where you can come to my Stampin' Spot to make your projects using my stamps and ink! The class fee of $45 is the cost of the kit, plus shipping and tax. Contact me or join my Facebook Event BY MARCH 10, so that I have time to order your kit for class.
