I am super excited to attend OnStage, Stampin’ Up!’s annual convention, this week! This will be my first OnStage event as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, and if it is anything like past CTMH Conventions, I’m sure it will be the highlight of my year, filled with creativity, inspiration, and the chance to connect with fellow demonstrators. As always, when I have team members attending an event like this, I love to make a little gift for them. This year, I have put together special bags filled with goodies, and to add a personal touch, I attached a handmade tag to each one.
Creating the Handmade Tags
To make the tags, I used the Everyday Arches dies to cut and layer three coordinating colors of cardstock: White, Petal Pink, and Flirty Flamingo. I chose these colors because they coordinate with the centers of the flowers on the bags. The White die cut arch is embossed with the Starstruck Embossing Folder, a fun freebie during Sale-A-Bration, which adds a nice floral texture to the background.
Adding Floral Accents
To embellish the tags, I die cut various flowers and leaves from the Country Birdhouse and Country Flowers dies. To add a little depth, I used a coordinating Stampin’ Blends marker to gently shade the edges of the flowers and leaves. After attaching the flowers to the tags with Mini Dimensionals, I finished them off with Self-Adhesive Textured Dots in the centers.
OnStage Anticipation
I can’t wait for all the fun that OnStage has in store this week! From getting an exclusive look at the new annual catalog to playing with brand-new products and, most importantly, reconnecting with old CTMH friends while also meeting new demonstrators and making new friends, it’s going to be an unforgettable experience!
Stay tuned, as I’ll be sharing some of the exciting moments and creative inspiration from OnStage with you very soon!
