Shop - Did you know, you can earn a FREE exclusive Sale-A-Bration goodie, that could be stamps, embellishments, dies, punches, embossing folders or designer series paper, every time you reach one of spending levels.

We actually have two different levels, where you can earn free product:

Team Recognition - Modern Heart

A new month is always so much fun for me. It's the time when I get to look through the past months numbers and charts and recognize some of my team members who have worked super hard and have hit a few milestones in their Stampin' Up! business.

I love spoiling my team, and today's card is no exception. This card was made a a few months ago, but I didn't want to share it until I knew the recipient had received it and then... well I forgot all about it.

This team mate had hit a title promotion and along with this card, I sent her a gift of Bronze (Or in my case Copper) coloured products to recognize her promotion to Bronze Elite. Think Copper embossing powder, Copper foil cardstock and Copper trim.  Fun have!

It's always surprising how cards evolve sometimes. This was actually a mistake card to start of with believe it or not and was destined for the bin. But after coming back to it again a few hours later I had an idea and saved it.

Have to say I'm really happy with the end result. Plus I have loved the Modern Heart stamp set, which was designed by  Million Dollar Achiever Steffi Helmschrott, since I first saw it in the catalogue and it's been paitently waiting for me to have a play with it.

Are you wondering how I made the background? Well wonder no more. It's a technique that I call Watercolour Smooshing and it's so simple. You added a few drops of ink to a piece of clear window sheet. Add some water  and then place it, ink/water down onto your watercolour paper and smoosh all the ink around. Voila!

Well, I hope you've enjoyed today's card. Please come back and visit my little piece of craft heaven again and don't forget, all the products I've used today can be purchased from my online store.

Orlando Onstage Report - Centre Stage and Onstage Live

What can I say but WOW!!! What an amazing week I've had. I honestly can't believe that after all the planning and the prep Onstage has been and gone and I am already back home in Australia.

Those of you who follow my Facebook Page (Find it HERE) will have already been sharing the journey with me, but I also wanted to post my adventures here too, for those who may not have seen it.

CentreStage:

CentreStage was amazing. I checked into the convention centre at 12pm and collected my gorgeous bag and all my ribbons for my lanyard. I was so excited to see my Silver Elite title ribbon and my CentreStage Attendee ribbon, but that wasn't the only surprise. I had also received a ribbon for level one in Leadership. I had no idea I would be receiving that.

I caught the bus to Epcot to spend the day with 100's of other Silver Elite and above demo's. I was so lucky to be Adopted by two gorgeous American demos, Sandy Hancock and Carol Nordquist. They both really looked after me all day and well into the evening. Stampin' Up! had put on a dessert platter in the evening plus Karaoke. My goodness those demo's could sing. I got home around 9pm and couldn't believe what an amazing day I had had, and the fun was only just beginning!!


Onstage Live:

Ok so this is about to get very photo heavy...

All I'm going to say about this is... YOU... MUST... GO... TO.... ONE!!!

If you are a demo and have never been to an onstage event, you need to make it your goal this year to attend one. The information, friendships, resources and of course the freebies, make this an experience every Stampin' Up! Demonstrator should have. I learn so much one these 1 day or 3 day events that it totally makes it worth wild. I have made friends with some of the biggest demo's around, i have gained so much information and knowledge that it makes the cost Priceless!!

And if you aren't a demo yet, why not? Whether you would love a permanent discount off everything you purchase, or would like to earn an income to help pay some bills. I joined for the friendship and the like minded people, who are as crazy about craft as I am. The fact that I can go to these events is really the icing on the cake!!

So If you have every even, for one moment thought about becoming a demo, please, please, please, contact me and let us talk about it. I can answer any questions and support you the whole way. My crazy Closet Crafters would love to welcome you to our family!! and talking about my team, here is a few photo's of some of my girls who went off to attend the Onstage Local event in Brisbane:

Phew.... what a week. Thank you so much for dropping by and for continuing to support my business. You guys mean the world to me. I have come home with lots of ideas, so look out 2019, I'm coming for you!!

Happy Crafting,

Onstage 2016 Sydney - Part Two

Hooray, the silence has been lifted and we can show and tell to our hearts content!!

Ok so I'm guessing you will be wanting to see us receiving the new catty well here are the pics.

Though I can't show you whats inside, all I can say is the catty is absolutely gorgeous and full of fantastic double page spreads with lots of ideas. The guys behind the designs this year, really have been on fire.

We got to make three different cards during make and takes. One of the cards is a cute little fold out card that is one of the designs available in one of the new card kits. Think Watercolour Wishes but bright, bold and colourful.

 

We also got lots of freebies!! I came home with three free stamp sets, a bag, new in-colour markers, two stamp pads, and of course heaps and heaps of fantastic swaps!! I can't wait to look through all the amazing creations that my fellow crafters have come up with. 

 And lastly I always come home so inspired and recharged. Brimming with ideas and inspiration and that's why I go to Convention as many times as I can... I've already booked my annual leave for Onstage Live Brisbane in November!!

Happy Crafting,
