OnStage@Home Swap (Daisy Garden / In Symmetry)

by Kylie November 6, 2021

Hi everyone, with OnStage@Home rapidly approaching, our extended team came together to join in on a card swap. I love these. They are so fun! Okay, first up, you might be wondering what OnStage@Home is. It’s a demonstrator only event where we come together to see the new catalogues, learn new business and creative ideas, and to meet up and network with fellow demonstrators. This year, due to Covid, it will again be held virtually. One fun thing about OnStage is – swaps! It’s totally optional but I love participating. Usually, you make up some cards (as many or as few as you’d like) and at OnStage you trade them with others. It’s a fun way to connect, and receive new ideas and inspiration.

As we are gathering virtually this year some of the ladies in our Stampers Anonymous group decided we’d swap cards. There were 12 participants. So that means we had to make 11 cards and then we posted them out to all the people on the list. It’s so fun receiving happy mail like this! As soon as I have received all of my swap cards, I’ll do a Facebook Live and share them with you.

The card I am sharing today is the one I made for the swap. I used the Daisy Garden and In Symmetry stamp sets.

Here’s the card…

Customer Thank You Card for October

I thought this card was so lovely that I also created them for my customer Thank You’s for October.

These were such fun cards to make. I thoroughly enjoyed colouring them too. If you love to colour, don’t forget to add Daisy Garden to your shopping list. I’ll also be sure to tell you more about OnStage@Home when I can.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

OnStage Swaps

OnStage@Home Swap Cards

by Kylie November 26, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, whenever you attend an OnStage event you have the opportunity to participate in swaps with fellow Demonstrators. Basically, you create as many full cards or 3-D projects as you like, include a ‘recipe’ card and then swap with someone else. You can make as many or as few cards as you like. It’s a totally optionally activity but it is one which I really enjoy. This year, due to the online nature of OnStage, my upline decided to see if members of the Stampers Anonymous team (of which we are both part) might like to participate in a swap. There were ten of us in total. All of the cards were so beautiful and I thought you’d love to see the projects I received. Click on the photographs to see the cards in more detail, as well as the name of the designer.

Here are the cards…

They are all so gorgeous and all so different! I love being part of the Stampers Anonymous team!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

OnStage

All the news from OnStage@Home November 2020

by Kylie November 22, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, on November 5 -9, I took part in the Stampin’ Up! OnStage@Home event. It’s always a fun experience and this year, despite the limitations imposed by the pandemic, was no exception.

What is OnStage@Home?

OnStage happens twice a year in April and November and it coincides with the release of the Annual Catalogue (April OnStage) and the January to June Mini Catalogue and Sale-A-Bration Catalogue (November OnStage). They occur in different locations across the globe and are fabulous! At these events, demonstrators come together to meet, share ideas, cards, business hints and tips (for those business minded) and we also receive the upcoming catalogue before everyone else. We are also spoilt with gifts. Unfortunately, due to Covid, OnStage had to look at little different this year and OnStage@Home was born. Whilst it was disappointing to miss gathering in person, Stampin’ Up! did their best to ensure an amazing event was held!

The Swag Box…

Attendee’s had the opportunity to purchase a Swag Box when we registered for OnStage@Home. Given the Swag is usually pretty fun, I didn’t hesitate to add it to my registration. When the box arrived in the mail, it felt like Christmas. It contained lots of great goodies. We received a fantastic bag, some trading pens, notebooks, a pen, stickers and even a new stamp set called Enjoy the Moment. If you would like a closer look at the goodies, I did a Facebook Live unboxing which you can see here.

The Kick Off…

The first night (Thursday night) of OnStage@Home was kicked off by none other than PAT BENATAR!! WOOOHOOO! Pat and her husband Neil Giraldo performed a number of Pat’s hits from days gone by and it was sensational! I confess I turned up the volume and sang along loudly (and badly). After this amazing experience, we moved on to the Recognition part of the event where Demonstrators around the world were recognised for their achievements over the past 12 months. It was exciting to see how far some had come and to see the names of people I knew.

Friday…

We had a full agenda on Friday, starting at 9am and finishing at 4pm. The day consisted of completing stamping projects with a new suite called Dandy Garden. I’ll be sharing the cards we made soon. We also had presentations by different Stampin’ Up! staff and ended the day with a business presentation by Brenda Ster. It was a fabulous and informative day!

Saturday…

Saturday was also packed full of interesting and inspiring sessions. We saw wonderful stamping sessions showcasing new products (and oh wow, there are some amazing products coming soon) interspersed with informative breakout sessions focussing on business building.

All too soon OnStage@Home was over. Even though we weren’t able to get together in person, I can honestly say it was still an amazing experience!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Forever Blossoms Many Mates OnStage

You’re Just so Fabulous (Forever Blossoms / Many Mates) – OnStage@Home Swap Cards

by Kylie November 6, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, last night we officially kicked off the OnStage@Home event hosted by Stampin’ Up! OnStage typically occurs twice a year in November and April and they are SO much fun! They are an opportunity for Demonstrators to come together to swap ideas, both creative and business ideas. Stampin’ Up! uses this event honour achievers, as well as launch new catalogues, and inspire and educate us on the happenings within the business. Have I said how much fun they are?! They are hosted at different locations around the country, indeed the world, but due to the pandemic things couldn’t proceed as normal. Instead, the event turned into OnStage@Home so we could still come together but in a safe environment.

One of the fun parts (and there are sooo many fun parts) of any OnStage event is that Demonstrators make cards to share with each other. I usually make about 50 cards but I know some Demonstrators make hundreds. It is so fun to swap cards with others as you meet more people, you might learn new techniques, and you get heaps of new ideas. It’s amazing the number of times I haven’t really noticed a stamp set and then I’ve received a swap card and I’m all….I now *need* this set!

Anyway, despite not being able to attend in person, some of the members from the Stampers Anonymous team decided we would still swap our cards. I’m sharing the card I’ve made to swap.

I’ve used the Forever Blossoms and Many Mates stamp sets. The flower panel is coloured with Stampin’ Blends and finished with a coat of Wink of Stella. The ribbon is the Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon which can be a little stretchy so watch for this when you are tying your bow.

Here’s the card…

This is very much a “Kylie” card. I do hope everyone likes it. It is surprisingly simple to create. Stamp, colour and put it all together. We’ve got a full day on the OnStage agenda so I’m off to enjoy it.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!
