Tin of Tags Stamp Set

Have you noticed the Tin of Tags stamp set in the Holiday Catalog?  It’s a fabulous set that is used to make the tags in the Tin of Tags Project Lit but it’s so much more than that.  The stamp set is filled with some very versatile sentiments and some little images.  I used the “Joy to the World” sentiment as the focal point on this card.  Another great thing about the Tin of Tags stamp set is that it’s one of the sets that is offered at a 25% savings through the end of November.  Check out the full list of stamp sets on sale HERE.

On Stage Local Madison

Yesterday was a fun day!  First of all, it was my birthday and secondly I got to spend it with 700 friends at Stampin’ Up!’s On Stage Local Event in Madison WI.  On Stage is an event Stampin’ Up! puts on for the demonstrators where the new Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration Catalog are revealed and we get to play with the new products and learn different business and stamping tips.

On Stage Local Madison

The event was made that much more special for me because we had 19 team members attend the On Stage event in Madison.  My team bought me a beautiful bouquet of flowers and we had a great time together.  The new catalogs are amazing, you will go nuts over the great new products and suites in that will be available to order starting January 4th.  I’m sorry, but Stampin” Up! rules say we can’t show you anything new until next week, so hang in there!  Below you’ll see some of my team members enjoying one of the make & take sessions we had.

Stampin’ Up! had contacted me before the event and asked me to give a business presentation on selling to the 700 in attendance.  It was challenging to make a presentation on selling fun and interesting as we neared the end of a very long day.  All in all I think it went well, as there we laughs from the crowd and I don’t believe anyone fell asleep.

After the event ended some of my team members and I went out to dinner at a local restaurant.  I have an amazing group of team members that I truly enjoy hanging out with.  We love spending time together and sharing business and creative ideas.  If you’re looking to be part of a fun community of stampers and paper crafters I would love to talk with you about becoming a member of our Stampin’ Express team.

Merry Medley Background Stamp

Want to make a fun and festive Christmas card that’s super easy?  Take a look at the Merry Medley background stamp.  You’ll find 12 sentiments in this one background stamp.  For this card I used it simply as a background but you can take and cut the stamp up to use the sentiments individually.
