Day 2: Stampin' Up! OnStage Orlando

Good morning Stampers,

I hope you all enjoyed reading my Day 1 post yesterday and getting a sneak peek at some of the products that will be released this January in our Occasions catalogue.  

Day 2 was just as exciting and enlightening.  

I met quite a few demonstrators from around the world.  Swapped cards, listened to guest speakers, watched stamping demonstrations and more.

The sign driving into the Orange County Convention Centre.

This was the first of many exciting moments...meeting Shelli Gardner, co-founder of Stampin' Up!

My downline, Lisa and I

The last two photos are of my sideline and downline.  These ladies and I see one another fairly regularly; but, it was awesome to be with them in Orlando.

Sara Douglas, CEO of Stampin' Up! and I.  Sara is truly amazing.  She was interested in speaking with everyone that wanted to meet her and was genuinely invested in the conversations we had.

My team with Sara!

Dale Hampshire, Demonstrator Development Manager for Canada.

There were a lot of Demonstrators from Canada in attendance and Dale (above) arranged for us all to meet for a Team Canada photo.  While not everyone could make it, we definitely had a great turnout.  It was absolutely amazing when we spontaneously broke into the National Anthem.  I had goosebumps and was near tears it was so incredibly moving.  Head over to my Facebook Page to see the video that was captured on Facebook Live.

Dale plays a mean air guitar.

Lisa was a presenter and got called back out on stage.

Kylie Bertucci of Australia, a fellow demonstrator and adorable person.

Kylie's hubby, Bruno, took a selfie with us all.

So, there have been lots of sneak peek samples posted.  Have you seen anything you like so far?  Leave me a comment below.

Day 1 - Stampin' Up! OnStage Orlando!

Happy Monday, Stampers!

I got home from Orlando last night and I'm bursting to share with you the details and photos from my trip.

I am super excited about some of the new products that were announced and will be coming out in the January catalogue.  I will be sending out catalogues to those who have requested them.  If you haven't yet asked for me to send one to you; but, you would like one, please send me an email with your address information and I'll ensure you get a catalogue.

Sara presented Shelli with the "Heart of Stampin' Up! Award".  Shelli was completely surprised and overwhelmed; but, I cannot think of anyone more deserving.

Prize Patrol!

Cling Stamps are coming!!!  This is one of the exciting announcements we learned about.  

We were fortunate to get to use them during our make-and-take sessions and OMG, these little beauties aren't going anywhere.  You're all going to love them.

All attendee Prize Patrol!  These super cute tool-bags are to die for.

Day 1 ended with a dinner out with my roomies, Lisa, Diana and Teresa; and, a toast with mango sangria.

I was pumped after the first day and there were still two more to go.  Check back tomorrow for my Day 2 update and more sneak peeks at new products.

Happy stampin'!

Signs of Santa

Here is another card from fellow demo, Tami White.  She posted this card on her blog and it's just super cute!  I absolutely love the new stamp set, Signs of Santa, from the new Holiday Catalogue.  The card also uses the Santa's signpost dies and Santa's Workshop DSP (which just happens to be fuzzy)!  The houses in the background were created using the Hometown Greetings edgelits and the cute little tag is from our Christmas Tags die.  

So how much do you love this card?  A shout out to Tami and Veronica for this super adorable card!

Show me your creations on my Facebook page, or in the comments below.

Alpine Adventure

I saw this card posted on another demonstrator's website (stampwithtami.com) and I had to share it.

I absolutely love how this card uses the new Alpine Adventures stamp set, paired with the I'll Be Home stamp set.  The greenery and bow are from the Pretty Pines thinlits.  Festive Farmhouse DSP lends the wood grain panel and the new pearlized doily adds a feminine touch.  

Tami gives credit to Veronica for the design, and so I will do the same.  Veronica, this card is stunning...thanks for sharing.

I would love to see your holiday card creations.  Share them in the comments below, or hop on over to my Facebook page and join in the conversation.

Happy stampin'!
