Hello and Happy Sale-a-bration! I'm baaaaaaack! I took some much needed time to focus on family and the holiday's, hence my missing in action for most of December, but now I am back to business as usual and I am so excited for Sale-a-bration and the new Occasions catalog. I am SO in love with these releases from Stampin' Up! I can't even put it into words. There is literally something that will appeal to everyone. If you don't have a catalog and you aren't currently working with another demonstrator, I would love to get a catalog into your hands, so please feel free to message me and let me know if you would like one. Trust me, you want one!
As you may recall, in November I attended OnStage Live, which is the Stampin' Up! convention in Orlando, Florida (it was UH-MAZING!) and one of the things we talked a great deal about was the 3 different stampers. The beginner stamper, who is just getting introduced to the fun of creating, but isn't ready to "jump head first" into investing a lot into their new found hobby. They aren't even 100% sure it's something they will do long term (little do they know how addicting it is ;) ). Then there is the casual stamper, they have fallen to the stamping bug, but don't think they have a lot of time to devote to it, but enjoy it enough that they will buy a few things that they know they can use over and over and then there is the rest of us, the avid stamper. We want it ALL, we love to stamp and make pretty things and we want layers and die cuts and embellishments oh my! It gets us all giddy just thinking about it. At OnStage, we were challenged to create cards that would appeal to all 3 stampers and so, I decided to take that challenge and this is what I came up with using this adorable Geared Up Garage bundle.
The first two cards are basic note cards and envelopes. They require no layers and are simple but cute. The first card would be for the beginner stamper. This card requires minimal investment of a package of note cards and envelopes, a Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad and the Geared Up Garage stamp set. The second card would be for the casual stamper as it is still a minimal investment with the addition of the Watercolor pencils to add color to the card. Then of course the third card is for our avid stamper, as it uses the Geared Up Garage bundle, the designer series paper, the Stitched Rectangle die set and Stampin' Blends markers.
I hope you enjoyed today's cards and you see that stamping can be as simple as stamps ink and paper or as stepped up as you like. Have a great night and Happy Stamping,
