It was called Leaders Summit last August. This year the Stampin’ Up! leadership conference was titled BackStage@Home. It was held this past weekend and was again an incredible virtual experience full of information, inspiration, motivation, fun, and more! Just like last year, Stampin’ Up! spoiled the attendees (demonstrators from all over the world) with a box of fun and colorful goodies.
I LOVE the Coastal Cabana folio and gem-topped pen!!
Susan Campfield, my upline (who is always so creative and generous) drove door-to-door the morning of the first day of the event to drop off a gift to each one of us attending. Check out all the goodies she gifted!
Isn’t the notebook and pencil so precious!?
I also got a gift bag full of treats with an incredible mini album from my team members, Nancy & Kayla. Click here for their 4-part video series on how to make that album. They are super creative and fun to watch.
My gifts (that I had my husband, Tim deliver directly to those in my team attending this event with me) were not as amazing, but still heartfelt. In fact I forgot to take a photo. It’s been quite busy here this August, and I feel like I’ve been flying by the seat of my pants lately.
I gave them each one of these pink thank you cards (shown below), a packet of 2021-23 In Color Jewels, a packet of Be Dazzling Specialty Paper, and a 4-pack of fancy cupcakes from a local bakery, Something Sweet by Maddie Lu.
Here are the details if you wish to recreate this card.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements
- Basic White Thick Cardstock
- 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored parallel to short side at 4-1/4”
- Scraps for punching flowers (4 small and 1 large daisies)
- Scrap for stamping and punching sentiment piece
- Magenta Madness Cardstock
- Scrap for punching sentiment layer
- Expressions in Ink Designer Paper
- 3″ x 4″
Directions
- Punch the daisies. Assemble three flowers from the five punched pieces by layering two together for the two smaller flowers and cutting the larger one in half and layering it to make a larger half-flower. Then add Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the center of the two smaller ones and allow to dry (may take overnight).
- Add Gilded Leafing to the dried tacky glue flower centers. Then curl up the ends using a Bone Folder.
- Stamp the sentiment and punch it out. Punch from the Magenta Madness Cardstock, cut the punched piece in half, then add the two pieces behind the stamped sentiment piece.
- Add the designer paper to the card base, Add the sentiment layered piece using Dimensionals placed near the back center.
- Add one of the small daisies in the lower right using a Dimensional. Add the large half flower tucked underneath the sentiment piece and this small flower using Seal. Add the other small flower tucked under the sentiment piece using Seal.
- Then add a few gems (Pearls or In Color Jewels).
Enjoy these last couple days of August. And see you September 1st when I share my next project using the You’re A Peach Suite.
