2018 OnStage Orlando Display Boards

OnStage Orlando was a whirlwind of fun-filled days! I met a lot of new friends, learned some new techniques, and, best of all, previewed the new 2019 Occasions and Sale-A-Bration products! Let me tell you, these upcoming catalogs are fantastic! You could even say they are the cat's meow!

All My Love is a two stamp set and framelit bundle Valentine's Day product suite perfect for all ages and genders. The designer series paper in this product suite is Lovely Lipstick, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, and Flirty Flamingo, which reminds me of a color palette from a few years ago that I truly treasured! I am happy to see a similar color palette this year. The framelits in this mega suite are gorgeous! Check out the stitched scalloped hearts!

The Classic Garage Product Suite is perfect for the mechanics and car enthusiasts in your life, whether they are male or female. The gear framelits and the metallic key elements are two of my favorite products from this suite.

Floral Romance is a delicate, romantic looking product suite well-suited for anniversary and thinking of you projects. The designer series paper in this product suite consists of designer series paper and patterned vellum! I can imagine wrapping an LED candle with a piece of this vellum!

Give your cards and envelopes an extra special touch with these faux wax seal embellishments. The detail on these seals is amazing!

You all know I love the Buffalo Check background stamp. So, it goes without saying I LOVE the Gingham Gala Product Suite too! The designer series paper features bright, spring gingham check. Sometimes patterned paper looks great, but the scale of the pattern doesn't fit your project. Stampin' Up! solved this problem by putting a larger scale gingham check pattern on one side of the paper and a smaller scale gingham check pattern on the other side of the paper. Use the larger gingham check side for larger projects and the smaller gingham check side for smaller projects, so the gingham check reads beautifully. So smart!

The bright, bold floral patterns of Happiness Blooms Product Suite was inspired by Scandinavian design. Happiness Blooms is all flower image stamp set that is bundled with 4 mini-punches. Gotta love punches!

There is a coordinating Memories and More Card and Envelope Pack too! They can be used for card making as well as for scrapbooking. I am looking forward to playing with this product suite more.

How Sweet It Is is a bright, fun candy shop inspired Product Suite. The color palette reminds me of different flavors of jellybeans or bubble gum. I love the apothecary jar stamps and framelits! I can't wait to fill these jars with stamped images of candy. Enjoy some candy without all of the calories!

Needlepoint Nook is a nod to embroidery techniques and stitches. The stamps are the highly detailed, photo-realistic DistINKtive(r) style. The DistINKtive stamps look so real, you can see stitches! The framelits cut out images as well as cut designs into card fronts and embellishments. One of the framelits coordinates with the Pretty Label Punch to add a stitched line around the edge of the punch.

Two new project kits are coming in the 2019 Occasions catalog. Both come with stunning, keepsake worthy boxes to store your finished cards in. Two new colors of Stampin' Blends will also debut in the 2019 Occasions catalog - Balmy Blue and Mossy Meadow.

There will be a sweet, animal-themed project tin with exclusive stamp set and punch combo as well as watercolor pencils (including an exclusive Call Me Clover Watercolor Pencil). I can see lunch box notes and tags using this project tin.

The Lace Laser-Cut Specialty Paper is Petal Pink on one side and Whisper White on the other side. Use as is or sponge, spritz, or Brusho the Whisper White side to suit your project needs.

Above are some of the Stamp Set and Thinlit Bundles debuting in the 2019 Occasions catalog. Check out the hummingbird in the upper right corner. We learned two techniques with Brusho pigment powders that are stunning!

One technique uses a framelit as a stencil and the second has pigment powder sprinkled in specific parts of the hummingbird and in the hibiscus.

There are two butterfly stamp sets and thinlit sets in the 2019 Occasions catalog - one from the Gingham Gale Product Suite and one called Beauty Abounds. The butterfly thinlits are enormous and large enough to almost fully cover a card front. Wow! Love them!

The middle right grouping of rectangles doesn't look like much here. However, they are a huge bunch of stitched rectangle framelits. YESSS!!

Can you spot the dog punch in the lower left corner? It corresponds with a dog-themed stamp set. There is also a cat-themed stamp set that coordinates with the Cat Punch in the Annual Catalog. These are tops on my must have list!

There was a single product display board of some of the 2019 Sale-A-Bration products. This board only shows 6 Sale-A-Bration items. There are a lot more, including a cupcake stamp set, a frog stamp set, and a rooster stamp set. I am so glad to see more butterflies! They lend such a pretty burst of color to projects!

As a demonstrator, I was able to order a selection of the new products from the 2019 Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogs during OnStage. I almost ordered almost everything! The one thing I didn't order, I will order in January. My OnStage pre-order should arrive by the end of the day on Thursday. I will have more stampin' goodies to show you on Friday!

Thanks for stopping by!

2018 April OnStage Display Boards

It was amazing to see the new products at OnStage in Atlanta! Between Make and Takes and skill building, I snapped a few photos of the new product display boards.

The Delightfully Detailed Product sweet is just as it sounds delightful and detailed. The Specialty Designer Series Paper is laser-cut lace! I love the watercolor wash notecards and ribbons.

The Petal Promenade Product Suite reminds me of vintage florals.Shelli showed us how to use sponges to create an aged look on the Designer Series Paper that was gorgeous!

Here is the Share What You Love Product Suite that is an early release for the month of May. The designer series paper is on my all-time favorite designer series paper lists! I especially love the Statement of My Heart stamp set, which features Stampin' Up!'s heartfelt motto!

The Garden Impressions Product Suite is at the top of my list order list! I love the bright, bold floral designer series paper, the thinlits, the rose embellishments, and the stamp set (not shown)!

I was saddened when Botanical Blooms retired a few years ago, but I am excited to see a fresh, new tropical leaf set! I like the color palette of the designer series paper too (Basic Black, Blushing Bride, Granny Apple Green, Shaded Spruce, and Whisper White).

In Atlanta, we received the Animal Outing stamp set from the Animal Expedition Product Suite in our goodie bags. This super cute animal suite will be great for kids and adults alike. Check out the thinlits! They cut out not only the stamps but a leafy vine and giraffe spots!

The Tea Room Product Suite is second on my must order list. In fact, this product suite is the inspiration for June 16th's Catalog Launch Party. We will have an afternoon tea with make and takes, games, prizes, and more. Mark your calendar!

These are some of the new embossing folders and edgelit thinlit dies. I LOVE the details on the edgelits! The upper right embossing folder, called Subtle, is difficult to see the texture in the photograph and in the catalog. It is a soft almost grasscloth texture. I think the Subtle embossing folder will add a subtle, elegant touch to any card!

Above is the new tin kit. It comes with two Stampin' Spots, a clear block, an exclusive stamp set, and an exclusive punch! The tin is gorgeous with the navy and gold!

There is are new collections of Memories and More card sets. Memories and More can be used for scrap booking and for card making.

Here are some of the new bundles that will be offered in the new Annual Catalog. We all received the bottom stamp set Pick a Pennant stamp set as an all-attendee prize. This set is right up my alley! You know I love banners! The stamp set also includes alphabet stamps to personalize your banners.

Tranquil Textures is a great masculine product suite! The paper is divine! I am looking forward to playing with this suite!

Graceful Glass is a product suite centered around stained glass windows. The font on the stamp set reminds me of the Gothic style of calligraphy. The vellum designer series paper and the thinlit dies are unbelievably intricate and gorgeous!

The Nature's Poem is another great masculine product suite! It is also pairs well with the Lovely As A Tree stamp set. This product suite was number three on my must have list.

Sometimes it can be difficult to see the entire sheet of designer series paper in the catalog. So, it is fantastic to get an in person look! This designer series paper is more of a traditional, classic style that is sure to be a favorite this Christmas! It's on my list for sure!

Broadway bound is one of the new birthday product suites. The designer series paper is filled with classic birthday and celebration images, including cake, candles, hats, and birthdays as well as geometric designs that can be for all occasions.

The Twinkle, Twinkle product suite is adorable for babies and little ones, but it also has some greetings suited for anniversaries, such as the "I love you more than the stars" greeting stamp. The designer series paper has softer colors mixed with Night of Navy and tans, making this paper stack perfect for both boys and girls.

Best Route is fabulous for graduation, college students, and life's milestones. It would also be great for a travel journal or scrap book. The enamel shapes are little destination bubbles like the ones you see on Google Maps(r). So cute!

I am overjoyed that Stampin' Up! has a calligraphy kit! I see diy calligraphy sets all over the internet and in craft stores. So, I am glad to see one in the new Annual Catalog.

 Here are the 2018-2020 In Colors! Woohoo! I look forward to the reveal of the new In Colors each OnStage. This year's colors are Lovely Lipstick, Grapefruit Grove, Pineapple Punch, Call Me Clover, and Blueberry Bushel. They are more primary colors. At first, I wasn't sure I like them, but after seeing all of the new colors, returning colors, and current colors, I really think they fit well! Right now Grapefruit Grove is my favorite!

This display board shows some of the new ink choices and ink pads. There will be more Stampin' Blends debuting. The ink pad in the upper right of the above photo shows the new ink pad style. It is easier to open, solves a few problems that the old ink pads had, and comes with more color labels. The uninked ink pad in the upper left of the above photo is a blank striped ink pad. You can make your own custom, striped ink pad! It could be ombre, rainbow, gradient, your favorite sport's team colors - you name it. Basic Black Embossing Powder is returning in June!

Here are some more bundles that will be offered in the new Annual Catalog. There will be many more punches, framelit sets, and thinlit sets that will pair with stamp sets to help cut out and embellish your projects. This will make creating easier and less stressful fussy cutting! Woohoo!

If you look closely at the right corner below April's Paper Pumpkin, you will see a sneak peak of June's Paper Pumpkin. It looks like Crumb Cake cardstock and a Father's Day greeting.

Here are our Make and Take projects.

The first Make and Take uses the Graceful Glass product suite. We used some of the new Stampin' Blends to color in the embossed vellum.

Here is the Nature's Poem product suite in better focus. I love old fashioned botanical prints, leaf imprints, slices of tree trunks, and dried flowers, so I was thrilled to see this product suite! I loved it so much, I overnighted my pre-order just so I could create with these products!

Our third Make and Take really shows off the laser-cut lace Specialty Designer Series Paper!

Our fourth Make and Take features the Share What You Love product suite. The designer series paper is so spectacular that I ordered 2 packs and am thinking I will need at least 2 more!

Thanks for stopping by!
