I ABSOLUTELY love what I do. So I thank my lucky stars every day that I get to share my passion for paper crafting with all of you. About a week before flying to Portland, I found out that I ranked among the top performing Stampin’ Up! demonstrators again this past Stampin’ Up!® year. And I was able to celebrate these achievements on Saturday: #15 in the US for leadership, #15 in the US for recruiting, and #42 overall in the world! Eek! Thank you, thank you, thank you to my team, my customers, my subscribers, my fellow demonstrators, my family and friends, those who work at Stampin’ Up!,…
It was also super exciting to see several of the demonstrators in my group get recognized for some of their achievements as well. We were spread across three tables in Portland (AND across 5 different OnStage locations around the US), so I don’t have photos of everyone. But here are a couple. Ashley Kuphal promoted to Bronze Elite!
And Vicki Spicer and Cheryl Lee were recognized for their sales!
I love attending these events and growing my friendships with my team members, but I also love the friendships I’ve made (and continue to make) with so many others at these events. On Friday night I was able to reconnect with Jeanna Tudela. She always has a bright smile and a warm hug for me. We met on my first incentive trip in 2006! She cheered me on for my karaoke contest.
I’ve known of Robyn Cardon for awhile, but we officially connected on a bus ride taking us back to the ship during the Alaskan cruise in July of 2018. She’s such a sweetheart.
Margaret and Leo Van Vliet are two of the kindest people you’ll ever meet. I’ve known them since 2006, too. (That first incentive trip fostered some wonderful friendships.)
Ms Jeanne Ciolli is another ray of sunshine. And this fellow Paper Pumpkin fanatic was an OnStage presenter on Saturday! She did a fantastic job showing off my favorite new products…the Peaceful Poppies Suite. (I’ve got a photo of her projects below.)
And then on Saturday I had a lot of fun helping at the check-in table with these Stampin’ Up! staff members, Jason (JZ) Zarogoza and Sean Galloway. (You can tell we had a lot of laughs.)
I was excited to get this fancy backdrop photo with Deb Naylor and Jeanne Ciolli. We were the Paper Pumpkin Advisory members in attendance at this Portland OnStage location.
Ruth Bingle is a gem! We’ve both been with Stampin’ Up! for many years, and it was wonderful to spend a little quality time chatting with her.
Did you see some of the display board photos I shared Saturday? Here are photos of the rest of the display boards featuring projects demonstrated on stage and several swap cards. (This first one features Jeanne’s projects. I can’t wait to get my hands on this suite of products!)
LOTS of fantastic new products are going to be available in the upcoming 2020 Jan-June Mini Catalog and 2020 Sale-a-Bration Brochure.
And as attendees of these events we got to take some of these products home with us. Here are gifts from Friday night – a new stamp set and a credit card case with the awesome poppies suite design.
Then on Saturday all the OnStage attendees received this cute backpack, some pens, some pins, and another new stamp set.
Prize Patrol is always exciting. We get even more new products in our hands. Below are Mary, Lisa, Nancy, Marciene and Ashley sporting their prizes.
And ta-da!!! Look at the stamp set I won…Painted Poppies. Needless to say, I was thrilled. We also got to split up the products from the make-n-takes. So we each took home a few more gifts. Plus each of us received a pack of the new Country Club Designer Paper.
When OnStage was over, our group of 15 gathered at our hotel to visit, eat supper, show-n-tell our swaps, and exchange more gifts and cards. Front: Kayla Cory, Vicki Spicer, me, Theresa Gloe, Lisa Marshall Back: Verla Carpenter, Kristie Strum, Mary Marohl (squatting lower), Nancy Forsberg, Cheryl Lee, Ashley Kuphal, Diane Keough, Amanda Martin, Marciene Ingram, and Teri Zupancich
Here are photos of more gifts I got. Amazing creativity, right?!

And we are looking for more to join us. The commitment is to order at least $25 worth of Stampin’ Up! product in each of those 6 months. In one of those months, you would reap the hosting rewards (free merchandise based on the club orders). And then you’d also be able to get in on monthly product perks that would be sent to you along with your monthly club cards.
I’ve been blessed with several cards and gifts recently. Some of these stamped items were thank you cards sent in the mail, some were given to me as gifts and extra samples from Demos Galore last month, some were gifted to me at Creative Connections, one is a very belated birthday gift and card, and the rest are swap cards from my creative Stampers With ART group. I’m just going to share them all (there are 52 photos!). Sorry I’m not elaborating on any. Those that made the card or project are indicated in the watermark of each photo. I hope you enjoy all the creativity shared with me that I am now sharing with you!
(Vicki Parson’s Instragram post can be found here.)
Amazing ideas, right?!
My boys are now on a 4-day break from school. Last night their dad took them out to eat and to a trampoline park to celebrate. But really it was to get them out of the house so I could host our Stampers With ART Online Team Gathering through Zoom. It was SOOooo much fun seeing each other, sharing ideas, celebrating, etc. We had a special guest join us, too…Donna Griffith from the Stampin’ Up! home office! We ended with prize drawings and the make-n-takes. I’ll share those with you in future posts. So be sure you are tuned in so you can see those fun cards.

I can’t get enough of this beautiful Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper!!
This paper comes in a 6″ x 6″ size. Thank goodness! Because I could NOT bring myself to using just a small piece of this gorgeous imagery. I had to use the full 6″ width when I came up with a design that I’m calling the 3-Panel Scenery Z-Fold Card. Just a small 2-3/4″ wide piece is on the front of the card. But when it opens, the rest of the paper is revealed. Can you imagine how big this card would be if the designer paper came in 12″ x 12″?!
Yesterday I posted my video where I shared how to make a this fun fold using the Dinoroar and Bird Ballad designer papers (both part of the BUY 3, GET 1 FREE promotion which ends September 30).
And today as promised I’m sharing photos, measurements and supplies for the ones I made with for my team with the Feels Like Frost paper.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements for Feels Like Frost Card…
Base cardstock (Night of Navy, Merry Merlot, Pretty Peacock, Blackberry Bliss, or Early Espresso)
5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored at 1-1/2” and 4-1/4”
Whisper White Cardstock
1-13/16” (or just over 1-3/4”) x 5-1/4”

Feels Like Frost Designer Paper

I made 24 of these cards, but I think I need to make more. They were so much fun AND so easy.
Here’s diagram of how I cut the Frosted Frames die. (This was added to my blog post at a later date to help someone who requested this information. Hope it helps you, too.)

I finally started creating with my MOST favorite designer paper in the 2019 Holiday Catalog…Feels Like Frost.
As I was creating, I came up with a design that shows off the full 6″ span of this pretty paper. The photo images are stunning, and I wanted to use as much of the full design as I could. So I altered a z-fold card. Typically a z-fold this size would be scored at 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4″. But I wanted less designer paper on the front panel of the card. This way when the card opens it’s even more of a beautiful surprise seeing the paper expand so much. So I moved the first score line to 1-1/2″ and I’m calling this the 3-Panel Scenery Z-Fold.
After making 24 of these cards (which I’ll be sharing tomorrow on my blog AND which you can see in the video below), I decided to see what other designer papers would work with this fun-fold. I demonstrated those cards this past Wednesday in my Facebook Live Online Paper Crafting class.
I then uploaded the recorded version of my Facebook Live video to my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook). Be sure to watch the video (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), scroll through the close-up photos, check out the products lists below the photos, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos and products lists for the Bird Ballad and Dinoroar cards. And then tomorrow I’ll be sharing photos, measurements and a product list for the original stack of cards I made that are my absolute favorite using the Feels Like Frost Paper. By the way, the Bird Ballad and the Dinoroar Designer Papers are part of the BUY 3, GET 1 FREE promotion going on this month. But hurry, this promotion ends September 30.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

Eek! Just as Stampin’ Up! promised us, the September 2019 Bone Appétit Paper Pumpkin kit DOES give new meaning to the word “handmade.” ☠︎It’s a fun one for Halloween fans and for those who just love skeletons in general.
As many of you know, I LOVE getting these monthly kits! This month’s kit included supplies to put together 20 food-safe treat boxes. And it included the supplies shown below.
But I like to think outside the box…see what else I can come up with, and create alternate cards, scrapbook pages and more. So I added the extra supplies in the product list at the bottom of this post to the above kit supplies and created my alternate projects that I’m sharing with you today:
THREE fun fold cards
A non-halloween card
Wedding favors
A “house” Halloween treat box
And a tombstone treat box
Watch my video first to get to get measurements, directions, and tips (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog). Scroll down to see close-up photos, access the links that I mentioned in my video, and see a list of extra supplies (linked to my online store) that I used to make my creations. Then be sure to visit my blog again soon, because I have many more alternate projects that I’ll be sharing in the coming week or so. 😁
Here are the treat containers that the kit instructs how to make.
And here are close-up photos of the alternate projects I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch the video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)

It’s a favorite of mine because of the colors, the copper accenting, and the simplicity and ease of creating gorgeous cards and gifts. Gotta love punches! I shared three of these projects on my blog the morning of September 18 to pique your interest in joining me for my Facebook Live broadcast later that day. Hope it helped some of you to find me. 😊
Then I shared how-to tips for those and several other creations that I made with this suite in that broadcast…my Wednesday, September 18th Online Paper Crafting Class on Facebook. I uploaded the recorded version of my Facebook Live video to my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook). Be sure to watch the video (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), scroll through the close-up photos, check out the products lists below the photos, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are some measurements and the remainder of the close-up photos. Click here to see many other photos that I posted on the morning of the 18th.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
This was the first card I shared showing off the Hammered Metal Embossing folder and the copper printed ribbon.
Measurements…
Night of Navy Cardstock
4-1/4” x 11” scored at 5-1/2″ and folded in half for the card base
Very Vanilla Cardstock
4″ x 5-1/4″ (for the inside layer)
3″ x 2-3/4″
Scrap for stamping and punching large ornament
Old Olive Cardstock
3-1/8″ x 2-7/8″
Scrap for stamping and punching small ornament
Copper Foil Sheet
2-3/4″ x 4″
Then I shared how to assemble the ornament that I showed on my September 18th post. The one on the right is the one I already had assembled prior to the broadcast. The one on the left is the one I started building during in the video.
And here it is! There are two stamp images that match the larger ornament punch. This image gives it a bolder look.
And I created this one with Mint Macaron Cardstock on the base so it can be written on and used as a tag on a present.
I shared this super simple card towards the end of the video featuring the Pressed Petals Designer Paper which is part of the Buy 3, Get 1 Free Promotion (see below for details). Isn’t it awesome that the punches can be used in other ways? Here the larger ornament punch is a vase.
Measurements…

A PEEK AT OCTOBER’S & EVEN NOVEMBER’S PAPER PUMPKIN KITS Christmastime papercrafting with Paper Pumpkin has become an annual tradition! So to deliver more of what our subscribers love this holiday season, in October and November we are offering back-to-back coordinating kits, one with Christmas cards, the other with Christmas tags. Both kits make it easy for you to add a handmade, personal touch to your holiday giving—without a lot of fuss. It’s Christmas made easy with Paper Pumpkin! The October 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit makes ten 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ cards and includes envelopes. The November 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit makes 24 holiday-themed gift tags of 4 various sizes and designs. Both kits include coordinating colors: Early Espresso, Pool Party, Poppy Parade, and Shaded Spruce. The October and November kits coordinate; however, each kit is all-inclusive and can stand alone. Click here to get your subscription started by October 10th for the next kit.
