Stampin' UP! Onstage Gifts to Roomates


One of my favorite parts of Onstage (Stampin' UP! annual convention to show new products and to congratulate the achievers) is being with my 
Stampin' friends!!!
We share a hotel room(s) and spend the whole time together! It is the BEST! To thank our roommates we usually make roommate gifts for each day! I went with a theme this year... hearts & books!
I also had a great time personalizing them with their initial with the Mini Letter Dies. 



Each day I would gift a Stampin' UP! embellishment, candy, and a little gift. 
This day included a heart shape bookmark. 


I was able to use each heart size from the Hearts of Elegance Dies. 
There are 7 different heart sizes and some with extra embossing on it. 


This day was one of my favorite gifts as it included a personalized clear block with their name and heart etched into it. I was able to get them made through a local lady and will gladly send you her details if you ask. 


The clear block and embellishment was held in a "heart pocket". 
I used Tear Tape and staples to secure the bottom. 



Day one included the most gifts with a shopping bag (that is what inspired my color combo), heart glasses, embellishment, candy, and sanitizer! I put a little letter on the sanitizer holder for them to add to their new Stampin' UP! bag. 


I loved using the little heart with stitching around it for quick and easy "for you" tags. 


Last day gift included an embellishment with the DSP heart plus "airport socks". Socks you wear going to the airport because you might be taking your shoes off! 



Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!
