Getting Ready for OnStage!!

Craft with Beth: GIngham Gala DSP Designer Series Paper Circle Punch Classic Label Punch Starburst Punch Easter Spring Treat Holder OnStage Joining Promotion Pearl Basic Jewels Dove Chocolate

I am working on some treats for handing out at OnStage on April 13th. I picked up a “few” bags of spring and Easter candy over the weekend. I tried to tell the checkout cashier that it wasn’t all for me, but I don’t think she quite believed me.

When I make a large batch of treat holders, I like to gather and prepare all of my materials beforehand like I do for my mise en place in cooking and in baking. Getting everything ready to craft makes projects less stressful. I know where everything is, I cut the right amounts of cardstock, and I can create without interruption.

I first counted all of the chocolate squares in the packages - 53. There are 3 colors of foil wrapped chocolate squares - purple, blue, and yellow. I wrote down the number of each color of the foil wrappers that were in the packages. I chose which color of foil would pair with which colors of the Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper circles and wrote that down. I chose a coordinating color for the Classic Label and wrote that down.

Next I punched the Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper circles using a 2" Circle Punch. I punched circles according to the number written by each foil wrapper color. Then I punched the same number of the solid cardstock using the Starburst Punch.

Then I glued the Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper Circles to the center of the Starbursts.

 Next I punched out Classic Labels in coordinating colors and stamped then with the "Easter Blessings" sentiment stamp using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I added mini dimensionals to the backs of each of the Classic Labels.

Lastly, I adhered the chocolate squares to the gingham circles with glue dots(r), added the Classic Labels, and placed pearls on both ends of the Classic Labels.

OnStage is the name of Stampin' Up!'s demonstrators only convention where new products and techniques are shown for the upcoming catalog. Twice a year demonstrators can attend OnStage to see, experience, and preorder the new products, so we can prepare for classes, workshops, retreat days, etc.

The few months before OnStage, the excitement builds! I look forward to seeing my demonstrator friends that don’t live locally as well as spending time with my demonstrator team the Purrfect Stampers. April’s OnStage is focusing on the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, which also includes the new 2019-2021 In Color collection! Stamping with, hanging out, and laughing with my friends and my team is my favorite part of OnStage. My second favorite part of OnStage is seeing the new products, especially the In Colors. It is a surprise that I really enjoy.

I love seeing what is new, building my stamping skills, and hearing what other demonstrators are making and doing. I come back refreshed and full of ideas! I can’t wait to see what is in store this April!

Sale-A-Bration Gets Better and Better!!

Let's keep the Sale-A-Bration party going! Today kicks off two Sale-A-Bration promotions! The first is Sale-A-Bration Coordination, which is available starting March 1st and ends March 31st or while supplies last. You can purchase framelits, a punch, and a stamp set that pair with some of the Sale-A-Bration stamp sets, including those adorable frogs! No more fussy cutting! YESSS!!

Craft with Beth: Stampin' Up! Sale-A-Bration Coordination Graphic

You can choose from 4 different thinlit sets that cut out images from the Hello Cupcake stamp set, the So Hoppy for You stamp set, and the Lasting Lily stamp set.

The More than Words stamp set comes in English and in French and comes with greeting stamps that match the fonts in other Sale-A-Bration stamp sets! For example, the greeting stamps "Today calls for something sweet" and "with extra sprinkles on top" has the same font as the Hello Cupcake stamp set! Talk about bonus!

The Story Punch coordinates with the Part of My Story stamp set and frames the greetings beautifully to enhance your cards!

Just when you think Sale-A-Bration couldn't get any sweeter, Stampin' Up! has added even more products to the Sale-A-Bration product list! Stampin' Up! has added 8 more products that you can earn with each qualifying order starting today March 1st and ending March 31st or while supplies last.

Craft with Beth: Stampin' Up! Sale-A-Bration Third Release Graphic

Because these products come from the current Annual and Occasions Catalogs they have special item numbers when you redeem them as your FREE Sale-A-Bration products. For example, if you have a qualifying order and want the Mini Pizza Boxes as your FREE Sale-A-Bration product, you must enter the item #152836 found on the Sale-A-Bration Third Release Flyer and NOT the item number from the catalog.

The quickest way to see ALL of the products available for Sale-A-Bration is to check my online store. This is the final month of Sale-A-Bration, so many of the products are sold out or approaching low inventory. If you would like to earn these products for FREE, I recommend placing your qualifying order soon to avoid missing out on your favorite Sale-A-Bration products!!

Please let me know if you have any questions about Sale-A-Bration. I am happy to help!

Thanks for stopping by!
