Today I’m sharing with you three adorable treats I received from friends and fellow demonstrators last weekend at Stampin’ Up!’s event called OnStage. There were multiple locations around the world, and we attended the one in Charlotte, NC. I didn’t participate in any swaps this time, but these three ladies brought gifts for everyone on the team. I’m thrilled to get to share these with you today! (A couple of them got a little squished on the way home, so they may not look quite as good here as they did when I got them.)

This one was made by Jackie Beers. It contained a small Hershey bar. It’s based on one made by Julie DiMatteo, and I’ve included the link to her instructions below.

This adorable little thing holds a peppermint pattie, and was made by the adorable Paper Pixie herself, Julie DiMatteo. I’ve included the link to her instructions below.

Wow, this one, made by Sandra Cornejo, is amazing! It has four little sections inside to hold small treats – this one came with Hershey’s Kisses. I haven’t found the instructions to this one yet, but I’ll keep looking.
Here are the instructions to Jackie’s box. She modified it a bit to close by tucking in the flap, instead of using a magnet closure. I believe she said she had to trim a little bit off the flap so it wasn’t quite so long.

Last week I was in Orlando, Florida, USA with about 6000 other Demonstrators for Stampin’ Up!’s 30th Anniversary Celebration. We received the 2019 Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration Brochure (you’re gonna love them!) We also received some of the new products and got to do some great Make & Take projects. Today I’m sharing some sneak peeks with you.
Here are the new catalogs:
I can only show you the covers right now. They go live January 3, 2019.
Thanks to my wonderful customers and team members, today I leave for the 2018 Stampin’ Up! Incentive Trip, an Alaskan Cruise! I wouldn’t be going on this trip without you! Scroll down for my Alaskan thank you special!
Here’s the cruise itinerary:

Here’s my Alaskan special to thank you:
DOUBLE GUMBALL REWARDS!!!
July 18-31, 2018
Earn 2 Gumballs for every $50 you spend on an order!
If you’ll be in the Atlanta area Saturday, June 2, 2018, you must stop by for my BOGO Yard Sale and Open House. The door opens at noon. You can drop in anytime between noon and 4pm. Of course, the closer to noon you arrive, the better your chances of getting all the BOGO sale goodies you want!
It’s free to attend, but please RSVP here so I’ll have enough of everything prepared.
VERY IMPORTANT: Park along the street (Woodcliff) behind our building. DO NOT part next to any of the units in the complex, or you will be towed and I will be fined. Thanks!
BOGO Yard Sale:
Why am I calling it a BOGO Yard Sale? Because you pay yard sale prices, plus you still get the Buy One Get One deal!
Usually at a BOGO Sale of this type, the BOGO Sale items are marked full retail price, then whatever you spend gets applied to an order from the catalog. This time I’m doing it a little differently.
I’m reclaiming my room upstairs, so I must make space. I have a LOT of great craft supplies that must go. So I’ve marked them down drastically – most items are at least 50% off, many even more than that. So you’ll save a ton of money on the yard sale items PLUS whatever you spend still gets applied to an order from the brand new 2018-2019 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog!

Yesterday, I hosted an Open House style Launch Party highlighting products from the new Holiday Catalog. It was a lot of fun! Below are some photos of the displays, and instructions for the Make & Take. (Wouldn’t you know, I completely forgot to take any photos during the actual event. Guess I was having too much fun!)
Here are the Launch Party photos:

Here’s what we made:
I borrowed an extra stamp set, so there are more stamps in this photo than you actually need.
We used two stamp sets for this card. The Painted Harvest stamp set (which will be available in a Bundle with the new Leaf Punch) has some lovely sentiments, but I just adore the font used in the Count My Blessings stamp set.
If you’ve wanted to try a multi-step stamp set but were afraid to, the Painted Harvest stamp set is the perfect one to try first. The flower layers don’t have to be lined up exactly, so it’s good practice for the ones that do.
Here’s what we did:
Stamped with the Painted Harvest stamp set:
first flower layer in Crushed Curry onto the front of the card base
second flower layer in Cajun Craze
flower center in Chocolate Chip
Stamped with the Count My Blessing stamp set:
sentiment in Chocolate Chip
Assembled the card:
used a Bone Folder to burnish the score line in the Note Card
put the card in the envelope
That’s it! Using the pre-cut and pre-scored Note Cards makes this card super easy!
Here are today’s colors:

I do have a project to share with you today, a cute little outhouse (yep, that’s what I said) but first I want to tell you about my upcoming Stamp Camp. I’m very excited about it. You’ll have 8 hours with no kids, no pets, no job, no worries – just stamping and shopping with friends!
Stamp Camp
Saturday, June 3, 2017, 9am-5pm
Candy’s Stampin’ Studio in Atlanta, GA
Register here by May 20. Prepayment is necessary to make sure I have enough of everything on hand. Space is limited so register soon. Also, the earlier you register, the more prize drawing tickets you will receive at the door!
And now, todays project. I made a bunch of products for the OnStage display board using the new Wood Textures Suite. When I saw the crescent moon shaped die, I knew I had to make an outhouse. I mean, isn’t that the first thing that came to your mind? No? Just me? Well anyway, check it out. I thinks it’s cute as can be.
Here’s what I made:
Die cut using the Home Sweet Home Thinlits:
2 pieces of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper (DSP) with the house die
1 piece of scrap card stock (CS) with the house die
Die cut using the Wood Crate Framelits:
moon out of one DSP door
Created a template for the inside:
cut the door off of the CS piece, then cut off the top half of the door
traced around the bottom part of the door on another piece of scrap CS
measured and used a ruler to draw the rest of the template: sides, top, and bottom
cut another piece of the DSP with my Paper Snips, using the template
cut the hole for the “seat” with the 3/4″ Circle Punch
Made the grass for around the outhouse:
cut pieces of Old Olive CS to fit around the bottom of the house
used Paper Snips to cut cut cut all the grass blades, being sure not to cut all the way through to the other edge
crumpled the blades with my fingers
Made the toilet paper:
I used a scrap of Whisper White CS (approximately 1/2″ x 8″)
used a Smoky Slate Stampin’ Write Marker to draw tiny “perforations” along about 1-1/2″ or so of one end
put a tiny bead of glue down the side without perforations, leaving about 3/4″ at the end without glue
roll up with your fingers (you might find it helpful to wrap it around a wooden skewer to get it started) leaving the “perforated” end free
Assembled the outhouse:
two DSP die cuts glued together to make the house, leaving open the side that has the moon
insert folded into shape and glued inside the house
toilet paper roll glued to the seat
grass pieces glued to the sides of the house
Here’s what I used:
