Welcome to the April 2019 Greek Isles Achievers Blog Hop! Follow along and check out all the other blogs in the hop (click on the names of other participants in the list below my signature) so you can see some fabulous cards and projects created by other demonstrators who also earned the Stampin’ Up!® Greek Isles incentive trip that will take place this July 2019. This month’s hop features peeks of the upcoming 2019-20 Annual Catalog.
One of the perks of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is being able to order products early. And those that attend OnStage (Stampin’ Up!’s convention) events get to order even earlier.
I haven’t had a lot of time to play with much it yet, but I finished my make-n-takes with some extra new products we were gifted at OnStage. Here are images of the make-n-takes the way we were supposed to make them.
I only did two as intended: the bird’s nest card from the upcoming May Paper Pumpkin kit & the birds on a branch card from the Free As A Bird Stamp Set and Bird Ballad Designer Paper. So pretty, right?!
Because of the suggestion from Amanda Martin while we were working on these cards at OnStage, I punched out a section of this Bird Ballad Designer Paper before finishing my card above.
Then I brought it home and added it to a Whisper White card base along with the pink flowers from the other make-n-take card which I altered a LOT. Both of these cards below used the supplies from the Perennial Essence Suite make-n-take: the Floral Essence Stamp Set, the Perennial Flower Punch, the Perennial Essence Designer Paper, the Perennial Essence Vellum, and the Perennial Essence Floral Centers.
I didn’t do the next make-n-take as is either, because I received the It Starts With Art Stamp Set as a product gift. And someone at my table (Amanda?) gave me their make-n-take packet (so I had an extra pieces). That fun Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon is carrying over into the new catalog. So I used that along with the Follow Your Art Designer Paper, the It Starts With Art Stamp Set, a little extra cardstock, and Rhinestones to complete these two cards. Gotta love that sentiment: “Follow your art.”
These last two I made with the make-n-takes supplies from the Come Sail Away Suite and a little extra cardstock: a Crumb Cake card base and some Basic Black. The Sailing Home Stamp Set is amazing and includes some wonderful sentiments. I have a feeling it will be pretty popular. The Sail Away Trinkets are adorable. And the Come Sail Away Designer Paper is both beautiful AND handsome!
I shared several photos including product and sample display boards yesterday, on my April 15th post. But here are a few more photos from OnStage April 2019. It truly IS an amazing experience to be at one of these events!
Besides all the ideas with new products that we get to create with, that are on display, and that are demonstrated…
…we get to swap cards, receive training and inspiration from presentations, take home prizes and gifts (see yesterday’s photos to see what I took home),…
…we celebrate accomplishments…
(Kim Peck and I walk across stage to celebrate our $700,000 milestones. And below Dena Rekow, Susie Wood and LeeAnn Greff walk across stage to celebrate their $1,000,000 milestones. Amazing!!)
…and we get to connect with friends – old and new.
These gals all helped with Check-In.
Rachel Durtschi and I teamed up to check in demonstrators before OnStage began.
Here I am with my dear friend, Mary Haugen, fellow demonstrator and co-owner of Stamp-n-Storage.
You can’t help but smile when you are around this bunch. In the photo with me are Kelly Acheson, Dena Rekow, Susan Campfield and Barb Mullikin.
Susan and I got to visit briefly with our friend BJ Peters (my fellow Demonstrator Council Member for the Mountain West Midwest North Region).
I met a demonstrator from Germany (here also visiting family), Katharina Pollak.
These are three wonderful team members of mine: Joann Knutson, Vicki Bibeau, and Julie Haugen.
And these gals (Vicki Spicer, Kayla Cory, Nancy Forsberg, and Mary Marohl) are some of my other wonderful team members. You can click here to see the video of new products that Kayla made.
I’m looking forward to the next one! Not sure which location I’ll be attending (the live 3-day event not listed is in Dortmund, Germany), but I’ve marked my calendar. Would you like to join me?!
I hope I inspired your creativity and you enjoyed what I shared.

ANNUAL CATALOG NEWS
Due to recent supplier issues (and other factors), Stampin’ Up! will no longer be carrying the current die-cutting machine and trimmer: The Big Shot and Stampin’ Trimmer are retiring. These changes are giving Stampin’ Up! the opportunity to research and explore replacement options. But there will be a gap when we do not have a trimmer or die-cutting machine available. You will not see these items in the upcoming 2019-20 Annual Catalog that debuts June 4, 2019. Click here for more information.
What a fabulous weekend! I attended Stampin’ Up!’s April 2019 OnStage event in my home town area… Minneapolis, Minnesota along with 32 others in my Stampers With ART stars group. These events bring me joy in so many ways…friends, inspiration, creative ideas, new stuff, fun and goodies, all that we take home, the swaps and gifts from others,… I’m in my happy place! 🤗🦋💕
#OnStage2019
This OnStage was centered around the unveiling of the new products coming out in the 2019-20 Annual Catalog which will debut on June 4, 2019.
Before I share some photos from this fun event I want to remind you that along with the coming of a new catalog, comes saying good-bye to the current catalogs. And Stampin’ Up! has posted its list of products that are now retiring from the current ones: the 2018-19 Annual Catalog and the 2019 Occasions Catalog.
Be sure to take a good look at the retiring products lists so that you don’t miss out on getting items that you have wanted. Some things (like designer papers, ink pads and refills, cardstock…) sell out quickly!
CLICK HERE for more detailed information, to access the lists and links, for dates about transitioning into the new catalog, AND to find out how you can get your hands on the new 2019-20 Annual Catalog. I’m mailing them directly this year instead of having them sent through Stampin’ Up!. So please be sure to read through how you can get your own copy sent to you.
This time the OnStage Live (the big three day event) was in Auckland, New Zealand. So I attended one of the OnStage Locals. And I was blessed to have a few team members travel far to join our big group: two from California, one from Iowa, one from North Dakota, one from Wisconsin, and many from Minnesota but a good drive away.
For those of us at a leadership level, we were treated on Friday evening to an extra special event called CentreStage. I roomed with my good friend (and upline) Susan Campfield. This is a photo from her camera that we had taken before we entered the event.
Susan’s team of Silver Elites and above (which I am a part of with my team member Cheryl) is pictured below: Me, Carol Rosengren, Cheryl Lee, Linda Larson, Susan Campfield (in the back), Kelly Burkhart, and Carol Baumgartner.
The food was incredible and tasted wonderful! I was amazed that there were so many choices for my restrictive diet. So I dished up to get a taste of everything.
I shared this photo of Cheryl and me on Saturday, but thought I’d add it here since this was a huge highlight of being able to attend this leadership event…getting the catalog early!
Cheryl and I sat with these wonderful ladies…Sandy Carlson, Terri Gaines, Denise Quale, and Sue Lehrer.
And below are the gifts and goodies I took home from CentreStage. (The bracelet was a gift from Susan.)
The next day was the main event for all…OnStage. I love how the tables were each decorated. (Notice the miniature Stampin’ Up! box filled with candy? Those mini boxes are one of the new products that will be available in the catalog. So cute, right?!)
These beautiful gals (that I sat with on Saturday) are four members of my Stampers With ART community that I met in person for the first time this weekend!! They each traveled a good distance to be here. The two gals in the back each flew in to be with our group…Jenny Rehder from Corona, CA and Amanda Martin from Plumas Lake, CA. Waving is Kym McCutcheon from Mountain Lake, MN. And next to her is Lisa-Marie Ramer from Gaylord, MN. What fun we had! Ashley Kuphal from Cokato, MN joined us later in the day but wasn’t in our photo. 🙁 Hopefully when I share more photos tomorrow, I’ll have one of her. She was delayed in getting to the event.
In fact I’ll share a few more photos of other friends and of projects tomorrow, too that you’ll want to come back to see.
The rest of these photos are of the products and samples on the display boards and a few good ones I took during the demonstrations. It’s fun to see all the NEW!!
This special double-sided display board below gave us all a sneak peek of the Paper Pumpkin kit coming next month…May’s kit which was designed with the help of Shelli Gardner, Stampin’ Up!’s board chair and cofounder. Shelli worked closely with designers and concept artists to create a Paper Pumpkin kit that is uniquely hers. It includes an exclusive photopolymer stamp set, paper, and crafting materials to create 12 mailable cards (3 cards of 4 unique designs), 12 exclusive, coordinating envelopes, and a Classic Stampin’ Spot. Coordinating colors: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Pretty Peacock (a new 2019-21 In Color), Soft Suede, and Very Vanilla.
I was super excited that we got to make this card from the kit, too! Click here to see the video for even more information on this kit. I’ll share photos of this with my other cards I made from the make-n-take materials tomorrow.
Here are the rest of the display boards showing off new products!!! Eek! Can you pick out what I’ll be buying first?
The names of the new In Colors (in case you haven’t heard yet) are…
Rococo Rose
Purple Posy
Pretty Peacock
Seaside Spray
and Terracotta Tile
I overnighted my order, so I’ll have samples of these colors in my hot little hands tomorrow. My goal is to share these colors compared to other Stampin’ Up! colors (present and past) in a post later this week.
There are so many new amazing designer papers, embellishments and stamp set images! Below are products from the new suites.
There will be more Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers offered and six fun Pigment Sprinkles (similar to Brusho Crystal Colour). And pictured below are two new card kits.
These last three photos are of the rest of my many gifts and prizes I received.
The beautiful bag, the things that came in it, and the two all attendee product gifts: Daisy Lane Stamp Set and Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Paper
The fantastic new 2019-20 Annual Catalog, my name badge, my prize patrol button and prize I won (the Woven Heirlooms stamp set), and my recognition letter to walk across stage for achieving $700,000 in career sales.
Image sheets from the make-n-take packets and all the fun items I got to take home with me from the our products we used at our table
Come back tomorrow to see more photos from OnStage and photos of what I created with the make-n-take supplies. I changed most of mine up! 😉

ANNUAL CATALOG NEWS
Due to recent supplier issues (and other factors), Stampin’ Up! will no longer be carrying the current die-cutting machine and trimmer: The Big Shot and Stampin’ Trimmer are retiring. These changes are giving Stampin’ Up! the opportunity to research and explore replacement options. And there will be a gap when we do not have a trimmer or die-cutting machine available. The order limit for the Stampin’ Trimmer Cutting Blade Refills is at six until supplies are depleted for good. (From now until September SU will receive intermittent shipments from the supplier.)
The dies and folders that will be offered will not be from our current supplier. So there will be small changes: the dies and folders will be manufactured differently; this means the way you use the new style of dies and folders will be a little different than how you used the old style. Both the new-style and old-style dies and embossing folders can work with any die-cutting & embossing machine (in some cases, adaptations like shims may be required because the gap between rollers on machines may vary slightly between manufacturers). Click here for more details regarding the changes to our die-cutting machine, dies and embossing folders.
I realize for many of you that this news may be a little jaw-dropping at first. I had a similar reaction. But after giving it a little more thought, reminding myself that change is an opportunity for new and better, and knowing what a strong company Stampin’ Up! has been for 30 years, I now anticipate some marvelous changes to come! And I’m excited.
#OnStage2019
Eek!! Many of us Stampin’ Up! demonstrators are in the midst of OnStage right now. Many of us have the new 2019-20 Annual Catalog in our hands – those who are attending in New Zealand, Japan, Germany, the UK or France and those of in the US and Canada that attended the leadership dinner, CentreStage last night! (Today all demonstrators attending OnStage will have their copy.) I’m drooling over all the new designer papers, stamp sets, embellishments, colors, etc!!
I appreciate all those who are sharing on social media using #OnStage2019 or #AucklandOnStage2019 .
It’s so fun to see what everyone is sharing out there! I’ll post more photos from the Minneapolis local event on Monday when I also share the list of products that will be retiring from the 2018-19 Annual Catalog and 2019 Occasions Catalog. So stay tuned!
Saturday is typically the day I share here on my blog what I demonstrated in my Wednesday’s Facebook Live Online Paper Crafting Class. This time I couldn’t settle on just one card! So I have TWO cards for you today. I just couldn’t decide which one I liked best! I used the popular Wood Textures Designer Paper for each. And both cards have raised panels creating a channel either in the middle or on the sides. (By the way my second card was inspired by a very artistic Emma Goddard card. Thanks Emma!)
Rather than writing out all the details & directions for these cards, I shared that information in my Facebook Live broadcast. Then I uploaded the recorded version of this 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), check out the measurements and products lists below (for BOTH cards), scroll through the close-up photos, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed this video! Here are the measurements you’ll need if you plan to recreate the boots card I demonstrated in the video.

Here are more close-up photos. Above are the ones I demonstrated. Below are the ones I had made beforehand (which are just slightly different).
Click here to see Emma Goddard’s card that inspired my simpler version above.
I hope you enjoyed what I had to share today!

Big Shot Standard Cutting Pads (item 113475) – please know that even though Stampin’ Up! no longer carries this, you can still find Sizzix Cutting Pads elsewhere
I have some fun cards to share with you – our make-n-take projects from this past Saturday’s Stamp Share put on by my wonderful friend and team leader, Susan Campfield. She designed these make-n-takes, and I absolutely LOVE them! Plus… below are more photos from this amazing event.
The background of this card was created by first inking up one side of the Country Floral embossing folder BEFORE adding the cardstock and sending it through the Big Shot. Isn’t it amazing the effect that you can get? Those flowers really pop! This folder just got added as a free Level 1 Sale-a-Bration product.
These last two pop out cards show off the Painted Seasons Bundle (a new Level 2 Sale-a-Bration pick) and the Four Seasons Framelits Dies (another Sale-a-Bration Coordination product available to all in March). The card base of this larger one measures 4-1/4″ x 9″ folded in half. The inside explosion piece measures 6″ x 6″.
This card base of this smaller one measures 3″ x 8″ folded in half. The inside explosion piece measures 4″ x 4″.
I love that my local Stampers With Art team members can attend this event. And I really love that we broadcast parts of this event in our team Facebook Group so that those in my team who aren’t local can still benefit in some way. Swapping is also an option for everyone. It was fun to see all the swap cards that my team members sent in or brought.
Here are a few more photos of the fun. These first three are pics I took while we were in line for our make-n-takes.
Vicki Bibeau, Maria Gobernatz, and Marciene Ingram…
Beth Ferguson, Anita Dickson, Tricia Josephs and Susan Campfield (in the back left)…
Julie Haugen and me…

A week ago I shared some photos from our fan-tabulous biannual event, Demos Galore that was held on Saturday, January 26. Today I thought you’d enjoy seeing the gifts the demonstrator helpers received: the pretty butterfly name tag, the tiny treat bag, the make-n-take Gate-Fold Pop Out card (that everyone attending, attendees AND demonstrator helpers got to make), and the product gift with direction/idea sheet (that purchasing customers also received).
I loved how the Dove chocolates matched my Balmy Blue butterfly in my name tag.
Here is the fun make-n-take card she designed for this event using the Botanical Butterfly Designer Paper. Susan said she got the idea for the fun fold from Linda Bauwin. So yay!!! Thanks Linda.
I turned my product gift into a Gate-Fold Pop Out card, too. You can see photos of the suggested card layouts in the direction sheet (in the first photo above). But I changed my product gift supplies up a bit and added in some extra items for my version. I’ll share that card in a couple days along with directions and tips for making the fun Gate-Fold Pop Out card. So I hope you are able to stop back again. I also hope you enjoyed seeing these fun gifts from our event. Thanks for visiting!

Our 10th grand biannual team/customer event, Demos Galore took place yesterday in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. It was one of our coldest days this winter, and we still had a great turnout and lots of fun! This amazing event started 5 years ago as a way for the demonstrators in our group (those in my Stampers With ART group, my sidelines, and those in my sidelines’ groups – anyone connected to Susan Campfield, my upline) to share fun new products with our customers at the start of the seasonal catalogs (Holiday in September and Occasions in January). And it’s become an event that no one wants to miss.
We have a free make-n-take for everyone, gifts for participating/attending demonstrators and for customers that place a minimum order, several product demonstrations to go and watch around the room, displays and ideas everywhere, prizes, and of course yummy treats. Our next one will be September 28, 2019. Mark your calendars if you live locally, so you can attend!
I team up with Susan to plan, prepare and run the event. And then while the event is happening I am in charge of broadcasting it live via Facebook to our demonstrator team. I have several on my team who live all over the US, so it is important to me that we can share this with them in this way. I don’t have a photo of me to share since I was behind the camera the whole time (hahaha!), but here is a display of ideas I brought.
I want to give a shout out to those in my Stampers With ART team members who participated in some way… Nancy Forsberg & Kayla Cory from Stamping Bae shown here behind the tables and Vicki Spicer on the left (she also is one of my assistants) helped run the make-n-take area.
Cheryl Lee made us drool over the How Sweet It Is Suite when she demonstrated this fun shaker card.
And Ashley Kuphal rocked the Best Catch Bundle with her ability to make those fish look real just with a few colors of Blends markers!
I’m so proud of them all!! Pure evidence that my stars are stampers with art (and heart!).
