Just For You | OnStage Live | Stitched Shapes Framelits | Thailand Achievers Blog Hop

8:00:00 AM

Good morning, good afternoon or good evening - whatever time it is where you are I want to say thanks so much for stopping by and joining us this month for our Thailand Achievers Blog-Hop. The Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world involved in this hop achieved the 160,000 Flex Points required to redeem the Thailand Grand Vacation in 2017. And, my amazing wife Kylie Bertucci was one of those. So, technically, I am not an 'achiever.' However, I am a Supporting Stampin' Up! Demonstrator makes me a 'co-achiever.' The theme of this hop is ...... drumroll ......

ON STAGE!

This month our theme is the "Onstage Highlights." As demonstrators, we get to go to special launch events that highlight the new products that are coming soon. Did you make it to OnStage? It was AWESOME! Kylie and I were fortunate enough to get to OnStage LIVE in Brisbane. We have such a wonderful time and want to use this blog hop to highlight what we saw and did at these events. Of course, this is only a highlight - we could show you so much more but next time you will need to come. I had a full post about is last week. You can check it out here.

Kylie has had an amazing Stampin' Up year. She was recognised as Number 1 in Australia in all three categories (Sales, Recruiting and Leadership) and Number 1 overall in Australia. If that wasn't amazing enough, out of the almost 50,000 Stampin' Up! demonstrators worldwide, Kylie was recognised 8th in the Inaugural GLOBAL 100 list.

That is a PHENOMENAL achievement! WELL DONE KYLIE!!!

New Products

One of the great features about going to an OnStage event is the opportunity to see and test out new products from the 2017 Occasions and Sale-a-Bration Catalogues. I could focus on a whole range of new products, but I will focus on just one - Inside the Lines Designer Series Paper. This is found in the Sale-a-Bration Catalogue which means it is FREE with every $90 you will spend. It comes as a set of 12 sheets: 3 each of 4 designs (12"x12"). Here are some photos I took;

NOTE: This product is available from January 1, 2017 (unless you are a demonstrator, which means you will be able to order from December 1, 2016).

Today's Project

I couldn't tell you how much I love this new paper without showing a project utilising is. Here is a simple card I made;

I cut the paper down to A6 size and then cut out a square using the framelits. Using a piece of Crumb Cake, I then used two square framelits to cut out the frame.

I then used ink and the blender pen to colour the image. I can't wait to get the new Watercolour Pencils. I'm going to have a FUN time playing with those.

Not only did I use the new Inside the Lines Designer Series Paper, I used the special release Stitched Shape Framelits. This framelit set is only available until November 30, 2016, and then will not be available until it is released as a part of the 2017 Annual Catalogue in mid-2017. Buy them now so you don't miss out.

Thinking of You | Crazy Crafters Blog Hop - Special Guest Amy Koenders

10:00:00 AM

Hi readers - thanks so much for stopping by. We have an awesome Blog Hop today - Make sure you sign up to receive my blog posts via email so you don't miss out. Click here to do it now.

We have some incredible projects to show you today. What we are MOST excited about is having the talented Amy Koenders from the US hopping along with us.

Inspiration

So, not only are we hopping with Amy, but the theme for the hop is 'Case-ing Amy Koenders.'

This is the card I am Case-ing;

I wanted to case the TECHNIQUE Amy used. If you read the blog post, she describes how she created it. So that's what I did, but using a different bundle and here is the card I ended up with;

I started by stamping the jar image from the Vintage Leaves stamp set in VersaMark on a piece of Very Vanilla card stock. I clear embossed this image.

I cut the jar out of scrap paper with the matching Everyday Jars framelit, and used this as a mask. I temporarily stuck this down and used the sponge daubers to apply colour. I covered the whole jar with Soft Sky and then to add depth, I sponged Crumb Cake. I really like this effect!

Do you like the sentiment? Before i tell you about the set I used - after I stamped it, I then cut it out using a framelit from the Cupcake Cutouts set. To date, I've never noticed this particular banner framelit. The coolest thing about it is that it is PRE-SCORED so you can create dimension.

Now, the stamp ....... I stamped it using a BRAND NEW stamp set called WINDOW SHOPPING. Here it is;

There are so many awesome things for you in this catalogue. Click here to register to receive a copy of each of the 2017 Occasions and Sale-a-Bration Catalogues.
