March Happenings – The Making of a Swap card

April 17, 2018 By

March Happenings- The Making of a Swap card

Well I am still riding on the wave of Las Vegas where I attended the Stampin Up! semi-annual Onstage Event! Thousands of women meet at venues around the world for the new catalogue and product launch! It is a tradition at these events for Stampin Up!  Demonstrators to swap projects and cards they have been working on!

I had been practicing a technique called water color “smooshing”. This is where you add water to ink (mixed 3 parts ink to 1 part water) and “smoosh” a clear window sheet into the mixture. The water and ink attaches to the sheet allowing you to transfer this mixture to another medium like watercolor paper. The result is artsy, edgy almost dramatic, imperfect and colorful! What I like about this card is the imperfections as an end result…. this is not my normal! I like the matching and perfectionism I can achieve with the Stampin’ Up!

Stampin’ Up! Onstage event in Las Vegas

Bag of goodies we were sent home with!

Last week at this time, my fabulous friend, team member and roommate for the weekend, Pearl, and I were packing our bags (trying to stuff all the awesome surprises from Stampin’ Up! and our Friday shopping purchases) into our suitcases! Lucky for us we planned on checking the bags on the airplane, for our journey home.

Typically Stampin’ Up! rolls out the red carpet to send us home with lots of inspiration including the new

catalogue, which I think you will love! Not to mention the product premiere packages that we were able to buy in advance because we attended Onstage, are being shipped to me this week! I cannot wait! Here is a sneak of peek on my loot I brought home!

This year was the first year I was invited to attend the reward event, CentreStage! Our hostess for the event was none other that beautiful and very knowledgeable, Brandi Barnard from home office,! As a CentreStage invitee, we all received the exciting and coveted New Season’s catalogue!!! I have seen lot’s of the NS catalogs but this one is super special as it highlights Stampin! Up’s 30th year! I was inspired by the layout of this years overview, there are a lot of “news” to get excited about, along with, some big surprises and old friends. I can’t wait to tell you more……..

Bonny with our fabulous host Brandi Barnard!
