I was recent asked about some of my storage solutions for my studio.  Although I am in the middle of revamping several of my own storage solutions and studio design, I’ll share a few of my storage solutions. I don’t have a good storage solution 

OnStage 2017 Swaps: Cool Treats

OnStage 2017 Swaps: Cool Treats

I have to say when I saw that Cool Treats was carrying over from the 2017 Occasions Catalog to the 2017 – 2018 Annual Catalog, I was very excited!  I really think this is a great all occasions set.  It’s perfect for a little pick

OnStage 2017 Swaps: Dragonfly Dreams

OnStage 2017 Swaps: Dragonfly Dreams

I have to admit that when Dragonfly Dreams first came out, I was not a fan.  However, after seeing a few samples made with Dragonfly Dreams, I became a fan and it has become my go to set in recent months.  It is such an 

2017 – 2018 Sneak Peak: Color Theory

2017 – 2018 Sneak Peak: Color Theory

I just can’t get enough of the Color Theory suite.  I was honored to be asked to share this suite with the OnStage Shreveport attendees.  I really pushed me out of my comfort zone – but so glad I was pushed.  The great thing about Stampin’ Up! is that it allows you to be the person you want to be.  Whether that is creating at home for yourself, creating for others, or creating with others.  Although I was super nervous, I am so glad that I had my Stampin’ Up! family with me to share this incredible honor with.

These are the last of my projects that I shared with the OnStage Attendees.

 

This was probably one of my favorite projects that I created.  I plan to use these bags in my business.  However, this would make a super cute package for a gift card, cookies, candies, or small gift.  Instead of using the spring/summer flowers you could change them to the fall leaves or winter snow flakes as the seasons change.

To show an alternative use with our memory keeping cards, I created two notecards.  Our notecards are my go to cards in a pinch.  They come in a pack of 20 and include envelopes!  How great is that?

I love the bold sentiments of Colorful Seasons stamp set.  With this next card which I think is my second favorite card I presented I used a masking technique to get the circle behind the sentiment.  I’ll share a tutorial about that later.

Lastly OnStage attendees across the World created this Make n Take which I shared tips and tricks on.  It highlighted the Colorful Seasons stamp set, 3/8″ Mini Chevron Ribbon and our new memory keeping cards.

2017 – 2018: Sneak Peak: Color Theory

I wanted to share a few more photos of some of the display samples I created using the Color Theory suite.  I just can’t say enough about the Stampin’ Up! Staff, other Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators and my team who lifted me up when I needed it the most for my presentation!  What a blessing they are.

Color Theory really does offer something for everyone.  From the two step imagery,  edgelits, intricate thinlits, bold sentiments.  I can see how easily this is going to be my new favorite.
