Onstage at Home 2020

From November 5th-7th I was able to attend Stampin' UP!'s Onstage at Home. Onstage is a Stampin' UP! event where demostrators go to be recognized for the last year of accomplishments and for us to learn new stamping techinques and to see Stampin' UP!'s new products. This year Onstage at to be on a Online platform instead of in person to keep everyone safe. As sad I was not to go on the trip to Salt Lake City Utah and be with my Stampin' UP! friends there, I still was VERY happy with the Onstage event and have learned so much! Below you'll see what Onstage at home all entailed for me. 

First, Onstage was 1/2 the price this year but you could add on the Swag Box that would be shipped to your home. It included this awesome Onstage bag, new stamp set (Enjoy the Moment), notepads, rainbow pen, trading pins, stickers, and Onstage grid paper. 

Here are my trading pins. I decided to keep mine because I love the Sharkie and LOVE the matching stamp set he has that is coming out in the new Mini Catalog in January. 

As an added bonus, all Silver and Elite and above received an extra gift for what would have been at our Centre Stage event (just for leaders). 

We all got a new pair of paper snips and a charm to attach to them. 

Onstage Swaps

One of the HIGHLIGHTS of these events is swapping with other stampers. Well my one of my team leaders organized a swap and we all sent them through out the mail or dropped them off at her home. Here are my swaps using the Whale Done stamp set. I can't wait to share with you all 40 cards I'll be getting from this event! 

Team Gifts

Because this event was online, I was able to have MORE then ever of my team members to attend the Onstage event. So of course, I had to send them gifts. I found this nice Demo in Texas who makes customize clear blocks and knew these would be perfect for my Royal Hearts Stampers. 

I had 7 of my 11 ladies attend!!!

I also made and send personal lanyards to wear at our After Party event and to give them something to attach their trading pins to. 

I used the new Dragonfly Garden stamp set to help decorate them. 

I made my After Party swap to match the Onstage bag and the lanyards I made for my team.

Here are some of my wonderful team members that attended Onstage! We met after Onstage was over to share our swap card and to share what we learned from the event! I love these ladies!!!

 Onstage Badges that I earned

I earned a Leadership badge for having a team.

I earned a Sales badge for selling $10,000 in the Stampin' UP! year. 

I earned the team building for added new members to my team for 2020. 

Pat Benatar and Neil Concert

As our opening event on Thursday night we got a personal performance by Pat and her her husband Neil. She sang and he play the guitar to 5 of their most popular songs. Such as, "We Belong" and "Heart Braker" and more.  Before each song they shared the story about it a little. I loved see them together and hearing their story!! What a special treat from Stampin' UP! that I will cherish forever!!!

She is still rocking after all of these years and don't you just love her hair and sweater!!!

Stamp & Share Experience

We got to stamp together using the Dragonfly Garden stamp set as part of the Stamp and Share experience. Visit my blog post to see more about these cards and Dragonfly Dandy Suite that is coming out in the new catalog in January.

We also got training from other demos and got to see lots of the new products in action. I loved learning from these amazing ladies! They had a Pop UP Prizes and I won $15 worth of Stampin' UP! products of my choice! 

Sara & Shelli Stamping

The highlight of any Onstage is when Sara (CEO) and Shelli (Co-founder of Stampin' UP!) stamp together as Mother and Daughter. They are so real and are so loving to each other! They usually close up each Onstage this way and it couldn't be a better way to end a wonderful 3 Days worth of Onstage then together. The ended with one last Pop Up Prize and EVERYONE got $25 worth of Stampin' UP! products!!!! I can't wait to use my Prizes for some of the preorder items I get to order in December (one of the demo perks)!!!

Here I am wearing my new Team Sweat shirt from the Queens of the Stamp Age and sporting my new Onstage bag on my way to the post office to send out some Happy Mail!!! 

I hope you enjoyed hearing about my Onstage experience and would love to share more with you if you would like! Look forward for some new stamp sets samples (another perk of attending is ordering from the PPP product premiere preorder) and new events coming from me!

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!
