Royals Onstage Swaps- Dragonfly Garden & Enjoy The Moment Cards

 


My team, Royal Hearts Stampers, did a After Party for Onstage via Zoom and sent card swaps using the 2 stamps set we were able to get early as an Onstage goer. One was the Dragonfly Garden stamp set and the other was the Enjoy The Moment stamp set (at the bottom). Both will be in the upcoming Jan-June Mini Catalog. Below is a great assortment of using the same thing and seeing some different ideas with it. If you want these stamp sets early, sign up as a Stampin' UP! Demo in December and get them as part of your Starter kit (where you choose $125 worth of products just for $99).

Dragonfly Garden
By Kelly Green

Kelly did a great job showing off the new Mossy Meadow Braided Trim and the matching DSP! Love the rich colors in this card too! 

By Carol Bird

I love how Carol stamped her flowers on color cardstock and made it so she didn't need to color each flower. Can you spot that cute little lady bug in the corner too?

By Ashley Reid

Ashley did a great job by using the dragonfly as a background stamp as well as the theme on the front. She used the dragonfly punch to get her 3 dragonflies cut out perfectly. 

By Stefanie Wilcox

Stefanie went towards the softer side as she used a light green for her main color. The photo doesn't show it well but she also added some shine to her dragonfly. :) 


By Rachael Coon (ME)

I went bright and playful with my dragonflies and just punched out some gold little ones to add to my Versamark card front. 

Enjoy The Moment


By Natalie Woll

Natalie struggled to find a good idea with this new stamp set, but her card turned out FABULOUS! She was able to take an interesting garden piece and turn it into a fun background! Such a great card! 

By Mandy Whitfield

Mandy did a wonderful job layering her images with a stripe of DSP, label, and a bow. I love how the inside has a different color then the usual Whisper White and matches the front of the card. 



Hope you have enjoyed looking through some of these cards made by my team members and hope you can one day join us too!

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!

Manly Monday- Handsomely Suited Shirt Card

 


Manly Monday with a Handsomely Suited Card cased out of the New Jan-June Mini Catalog! This ideas was found as a box topper straight from the Stampin' UP! pages 66-67. This Well Suited Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Suit & Tie Dies made this adorable little boy/teen card! This awesome Well Suited Suite is available to Demonstrators on December 1st and to customers on January 5th, 2021. If you want this set as part of your Start Kit be sure to sign up on December 1st to be Happy Shopper/Stampin' UP! Demonstrator. 

I just love the suspenders that you can create and the little buttons! 


Here are all four cards! I did one just a little different and had his sleeves go out more and didn't chop off the "A" in front of the Happy. 

I did change up the bow tie and just stamped it in ink and not with the white embossing powder with like the catalog has it. :) 

Visit my Blog Link below for video and instructions on how to make this card! 

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!


Queens Onstage Swaps- Wow Cards

 For Onstage my team leader, Brandi Barnard organized a drop off or mail in swaps since we couldn't be together in person. There were two different themes: Fun Fold and Wow Cards. Below are the Wow cards I have gotten! They are amazing and I know the ladies that created them put so much thought and work into them. We had to make and send 20 of one design. I'll give you the name of the creator and attach a link to the item they used most or is featured in their card. If you have questions about any of them, please comment and I'll give you more details about it. Please enjoy this gallery of ideas! 

By Kathryn Whittaker

Kathryn did a beautiful job making her cluster of Christmas greenery in the corner of this card. I know this must of took a lot of time and the look is just simple but stunning! She used the Beautiful Boughs Dies and Peaceful Boughs stamp set. 

By Lore Webb

Lore did a beautiful job of embossing, stamping, and surrounding her flowers with gold foil using the Many Layered Blossoms Dies. This is truly a WOW card when you look at all the details and see the "clean" (no mistakes) stamping!

By Lisa Owen

Lisa made this amazing cut out easel card. She made this great night image with the moon in space and a child standing among the mountains (from Mountain Air) reaching for the sky. She even added texture with Evergreen Embossing folder. Such a beautiful card with such great imagery. Lisa is a teacher of young students and I would image she created an adventure of learning for them. The adventure come from the Sweet Silhouette dies. 

By Becca Ingersoll

Becca made this bold high heel card using the Dressed To Impress stamp set and matching Dies. She used a sponge dauber for the circles on top and embossed the Basic Black on the bottom! 

By Lynda Day
*Not yet available until Jan 5th, 2021

Lynda used a brand new stamp set that is only available to demonstrators right now will be in the Spring Mini Catalog! She did a great job showing off that new paper and making that dragonfly look like he is flying with at Misty Moonlight shadow and Vellum gold embossed body. 

By Jade Boger


I am not sure what stamp set Jade used for her "hello" and flowers but she did a beautiful job layering the greenery with the golden hoop, and her double bow with ribbon and thread. So many great layers is what makes this a WOW card! 

By Natalie Woll

Natalie used a great color combo and simple but sweet layers to make this "WOW" card. She embossed her Whisper White with the subtle folder. Used white embossing powder for her "get well soon" greeting and fussy cut her flower out from the Healing Hugs stamp set! 

By Cynthia Hafner

Cindy is known for making beautiful cards and this just adds to her collection. She used the Stacking Stone background stamp. Embossed her Basic Gray banner with the Dainty Diamonds folder. Used DSP for her second banner and made a 3rd banner out of ribbon. She then die cut that peony and sponged it to give it more dimension. Just amazing!!!

By Brandi Barnard

Brandi loves stars and it shows in this card! She created a cute peek-a-boo where you can see the Rainbow Glimmer paper. She used the Stitched Stars Dies and the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set. 

By Stefanie Wilcox

Stefanie made a fun night sky using her Stampin' Blends and the Campology trees. She even embossed her greeting in white embossing powder.  To create her sparkling sky she sponged Versamark and heat embossed the silver powder. 

Ashley did a great job making this WOW card by making a special fold to create a kite that opens. She used the Ornate Garden DSP and matching ribbon and the greeting is from the So Sentimental stamp set. *misspelled in the photo above. I love that Dainty Diamond embossing folder as well on her yellow cardstock. 

Here is how the kite part opens up for her WOW card! She even added a little piece of Velcro at the bottom to keep it closed. You could even write a fun message inside the kite! 


By Michelle Fagatele

Michelle also made some great layers with her use of her Peony Garden DSP, the square dollies, and her fussy cut flowers! Love the soft feel the card gives. 

By Paula Skeen


Paula created this beautiful winter scene using the Snow Front stamp set. Also her use of embossing folders to add texture and her ribbon placement makes this card a WOW card! She even embossed in White Embossing powder on the vellum for her greeting. 


By Tricia Williams

Tricia is a watercolor expert and has made a beautiful winters night sky. She paired her watercolor sky with the Home Together Dies and created a fun home surrounded by snowing hills and trees. This die and stamp set is part of Stampin' UP!'s Making A Difference charity. Those you buy this stamp set alone or as a bundle Stampin' UP! donates $3 to charities devoted to adoption, foster care, and infertilely. 


By Nancy McArthur

Nancy is the Queen of blending! She did such a wonderful job using the Seabed embossing folder come to life just by blending different shades of blues. I also love how she used only half of her label for her heat embossed greeting. She even made her whale "shiny" but I using clear embossing powder over him. This is truly a WOW card! 

By Mandy Whitfield

Mandy made her WOW card into a treat holder card! How awesome is that! She did a great job stamping the cute little cups and using the DSP as a partial background! Love it! 

By Candice Anderson

Candice card has great texture layers, the use of silver foil paper (that makes an card into a wow card) and she has a fun tab to keep the card closed. She even used silver embossing powder for her flower images and watercolored those in! WOW, what a great card! 

I hope you have enjoyed all of these WOW cards and I can't wait to share with you all of the Fun Fold Cards from Onstage as well!!!

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!
