Luv 2 Stamp Group events

Home from OnStage in Orlando!

Hi everyone!

I hope you had fun following along on my Facebook page while I posted our adventures in Orlando last week!!

I gathered with about 6,000 other amazing Stampin' UP! demonstrators in Orlando to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the company, and we had a wonderful time!  Well, except for the heat... when it's "feel like 93 degrees" and 80% humidity, that's not my kind of weather.

About 6o of the demonstrators on my Luv 2 Stamp Group team joined us in Orlando, and about 1/2 were in attendance for our Meet & Greet, card swap and team photo!  Here we are!

It was great to spend time with so many amazing people from our team from all over the US! 

Stampin' UP! was so gracious to recognize hundreds of demonstrators for all levels of accomplishments in so many ways.  It was fun to walk on stage, to see our name in print, to stand and wave, to hear the applause and receive congrats from fellow demonstrators.

I found my name on the board for being #4 in the entire company for the past year!

There are so many fun perks of attending a Stampin' Up! OnStage event.. but ONE of my favorites is receiving the new catalogs early!

We got the new 2019 Occasions catalog and Sale-a-Bration catalogs already!  Mine are well loved from going through them about a million times already and making lots of notes!

DIY Note Pad project for Christmas To-Do List

 I am a "to do list" lover.  I have lists everywhere.  One place I keep a notepad for my lists is my car.  I love these Clear Stamp Case Note Pad Holders in my car because it keeps the list nice and clean and protected from you know.. stuff like spills or the occasional french fry that leaps out of the bag... :)

We made these at our recent Luv 2 Stamp Group stamp day.   I took all of the Stampin' Up! supplies to the event and everyone made one!

You can read all the step by step tips to make your own note pad holder in the free download above, but basically you will want to create the designer paper insert with Stampin' Up! designer paper (we used Festive Farmhouse paper) and then a strip of Galvanized paper cut to look like a snowy hill.  It measures a total of 7" x 10-5/8" total.

If you slip this into your clear mount stamp case, close the case, and "crease" on the spine, when you pull the paper out, you'll see exactly where to add the trees and sentiment on the front portion.

Use the amazing Tear & Tape to adhere a strip of designer paper over the logo on the mini legal pad, and also to adhere the legal pad into the clear stamp case.  (see below).

These make GREAT gifts, and because you can purchase a pack of 4 of these clear stamp cases for only $6.00 (here), and you can buy the mini legal pads for just a few dollars at places like Sam's club, Staples, etc., they are really economical!  You might even check the dollar store!

 To decorate the front, I stamped the pine tree from Winter Woods in Shaded Spruce ink on Whisper White cardstock and die cut it with the "In the Woods" framelit dies.  I also die cut one of the detailed trees and left it white.

The greeting is also stamped in Shaded Spruce on Whisper White cardstock, and die cut with the stitched shape circle, layered onto a Shaded Spruce scalloped circle.  The stamps is in the Merry Christmas to All stamp set.

Celebrating 20 Years with Christine - Tea Room Suite

 Last weekend I had fun celebrating Christine!!  She has been a demonstrator in my Luv 2 Stamp Group for 20 years!!!!!!!  How amazing is that!!??

 

Tea room suite from Stampin' Up!: card pillow box and copper tin celebrating Christine's 20th anniversary as a demonstrator.  Projects by Patty Bennett, www.PattyStamps.com

 

I made up some goodies for her using the Stampin' UP! Tea Room suite of products.  I created a card, a copper tin, a pillow box and a tag.  I put a coupon for a $200 shopping spree inside the pillow box... Christine is the first one on my team to reach a 20 year milestone with Stampin' UP! and I am so exited to celebrate her!!!!   She'll also be recognized at the Stampin' Up! OnStage event in Orlando this November!! Whohooo!!

 

Tea room suite from Stampin' Up!: card pillow box and copper tin celebrating Christine's 20th anniversary as a demonstrator.  Projects by Patty Bennett, www.PattyStamps.com

 The Pillow Box is decorated with paper, stamps and dies from the Tea Room suite, as well as the Copper Vinyl stickers and polkadot tulle ribbon. 

The card is a vanilla thick note card decorated with Tea Room designer paper and the Celebrate You thinlits die cut in Copper Foil paper.

I still remember the first time Christine and her friend Kathy came to one of my classes.. probably about 22 years ago.  We had fun stamping and she asked about becoming a demonstrator on my team a couple years later.  I'm so blessed that she has been an amazing friend and demonstrator for so many years! That is just ONE of the amazing perks of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator... making life-long friends!!

Although the large number framelit dies are retired (seriously!? WHY are they retired??) I still use them a lot and die cut them with copper foil paper to go with the copper theme of the gifts.  You can find all of the other fun products from the Tea Room Suite on pages 14 and 15 in your Annual Stampin' Up! catalog, or HERE in my online Stampin' UP! store.

I had tons of fun combining die cuts, doilies, and embellishments to decorate bags of goodies for dozens of Luv 2 Stamp Group members!  In addition to our monthly prize patrol, I also sent out goodies to each person who had 1 recruit or more, and also to those who advanced in title.. some amazing demonstrators earned all 3!

For each demonstrator in my group who welcomed at least 1 new recruit onto their team, I sent a packet of goodies decorated with a Share What You Love die cut label (with the limited time offer Stitched Season framelits), embellished with a Colored Doily (pg 192, here online).  I printed the labels at home.

Guest Artists share Rainbow Pad Card Ideas

 

I always have a monthly challenge / Prize Patrol for my Luv 2 Stamp group (team of demonstrators), and for the month of July, I challenged them to use a Stampin' UP! Spectrum / Rainbow pad .. ink it up with 5 different ink refills and create at least 4 projects.  Once they shared with the group, they received a prize, and were put in a drawing for shopping sprees!

Today I am excited to share just a few of their amazing submissions.  They shared over 50 ideas and that would be a SUPER long blog post, so I am just sharing about a dozen here with you today!  I'll share more samples and a video soon!

Petal Pair embossed Narrow Note Card - Luv 2 Stamp Group project

 

Enjoy this cute Narrow Note Card idea featuring the Stampin' UP! Petal Pair embossing folder!

We made this cute card project at our recent Luv 2 Stamp Group demonstrator stamping day!

 

Embossed Petal Pair Narrow Note Card colored with sponge daubers and Stampin' Up! ink, by Patty Bennett

 

We embossed the front of the narrow note card with the floral design in the Petal Pair embossing folder duo pack. Then lightly added ink with a sponge dauber... so easy, so pretty!  Yep, the Petal Pair embossing folder is easy to miss... if you missed it, it's on pg 23 in the 2018 Occasions catalog, or HERE online.

 

 

Embossed Petal Pair Narrow Note Card colored with sponge daubers and Stampin' Up! ink, by Patty Bennett

 

We used Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo and Pear Pizzazz ink on the Spong Daubers to add color to the raised embossed area.  You can use any color combo.  I was trying to highlight some of the soon to be retired 2016-2018 In Colors from Stampin' Up!  (see them here).

 

Embossed Petal Pair Narrow Note Card colored with sponge daubers and Stampin' Up! ink, by Patty Bennett

The cute embellishment is created with the "A Good Day" stamp set and the coordinating new Scallop circle punches.. you'll find those products on pg 17 in the 2018 Occasions catalog.  See above and below for instructions on stamping and punching the cardstock layers for the embellishment.

A Good Day stamp set stamped and punched with the new scallop circle punches from Stampin' Up! - cute card embellishment!

 

To make a really cute liner for your Narrow Note Card envelopes, use a 2-1/2" or 2-1/4" circle punch or die to make a circle and glue it into the flap.. .SO CUTE!

Silver Mini Gable Treat Boxes - Luv 2 Stamp Group project

 

Today the Luv 2 Stamp group of Stampin' UP! demonstrators (my "downline" or team) are gathering to stamp and create projects featuring 2018 Occasions catalog and Sale-a-Bration products!

One of the projects we are creating today is this Silver Mini Gable Box that I designed! The perfect treat box for Valentine's day, or any party or gift-giving occasion!

 

Silver Mini Gable Boxes decorated with Stampin' Up! Petal Passion designer paper and stamped hearts from the Heart Happiness stamp set. by Patty Bennett

 I love the color combo of black, white, silver and Calypso Coral.  I hope you like this too! 

DON'T MISS IT:  Silver Mini Gable Boxes are on page 13 of the 2018 Stampin' UP! Occasions catalog #145568

The beautiful black and white patterned paper is a 2-3/4" x 12" strip of Petal Passion designer paper wrapped around the silver gable box, and then lots of pretty Calypso Coral hearts were added for pops of color!  Each stamping day participant could select their choice of paper pattern, and ribbon.  The ribbons are both from the Sale-a-Bration 2018 brochure and are available as your free gift with $50 order from Jan. 3 to March 31, 2018.  Find them on page 9 in the SAB brochure, #147243.

Project Tips:

Silver Mini Gable Box - perfect size for a Valentine treat or party favor.

 

Stamp the 3 pieces in Calypso Coral as shown below.  The banner is from the Sure Do Love You stamp set (pg 19 Occasions catalog) and the hearts are from the Heart Happiness stamp set (pg 20). 

In addition to die cutting the 3 stamped images, you'll also need to die cut 2 hearts from the Sale-a-Bration Bubbles & Fizz paper as shown below:

Painted with Love Celebrate You card ideas

 Have you noticed the Celebrate You Thinlit dies on page 17 of the 2018 Stampin' UP! Sale-a-Bration catalog!?  You might want to select this set of 3 thinlits as one of your FREE Sale-a-Bration gifts this year.. or you can wait and buy them in the catalog in June!  Select this $100 level gift option as your reward with a $100 order during Sale-a-Bration! (yep, that's a new thing this year!  $50 and $100 level gifts!!)

 

Stampin' Up! Celebrate You thinlit dies on Painted with Love designer paper. Congrats card idea for top sellers in the Luv 2 Stamp Group by Patty Bennett

I created these cards after receiving a similar card from my upline, Sandy. I love the gold accents in the Painted with Love paper so I went with the pink and gold theme!

I die cut the celebrate and the you with the Gold Foil paper and mounted it onto a piece of Painted with Love designer paper, then onto gold foil, then onto a top fold Blushing Bride card base.

 TIP!

Apply the Multipurpose Adhesive sheet to the back of the 4" x 5-1/4" gold foil paper, then die cut the words from the center area of the gold foil paper, add the self-adhesive words to the Painted with Love paper, and then assemble all the layers.  Double use from the gold foil paper! (and nobody will know!)

In addition to the fun personalized bone folders I sent to my Stampin' UP! team, (see this post), I also asked Debbie to engrave some Stampin' UP! clear blocks for me, for special recognition for some of my Luv 2 Stamp Group team members.  I love how they turned out.. they are beautiful!!  I mailed them last week, so I hope the recipients have already received them and this is not a spoiler :)

 I packaged the clear blocks in cello bags, and mailed them with special celebratory cards, featuring new, upcoming stamp sets from the 2018 Occasions catalog and Sale-a-Bration brochure!

Personalized Bone Folders in pretty Gold Striped Bags

 

It's been busy around here.. over the past few weeks, I decorated, stuffed and mailed 300+ gold striped bags with 600 die cut Christmas trees, 300 metallic doilies and 300 foil snowflakes for my Luv 2 Stamp Group, and filled them with a personalized bone folders as my Christmas gift to each of them!

I decided to work on the coffee table in the living room so I could enjoy the Christmas tree and all the trimmings while I worked.

I thought I had die cut enough trees, but ended up going back to the Big Shot many times to cut more trees!  600+ trees is a LOT!!  I used the tree in the Stampin' Up! Santa's Sleigh thinlit set and the Naturally Eclectic and Coffee Break packs of designer paper, mixing and matching the trees on each package.

 Debbie Adams of  Advanced Custom Embroidery & Graphics in NY engraved the Stampin' Up! bone folders for me.  She was terrific to work with and if you need any personalized gifts, I'd highly recommend her!

I layered a metallic doily and a foil snowflake, gold on silver, or silver on gold, for a little extra bling behind the stamped die cut circle.

The gold striped bags are so pretty and especially festive for the holidays!  Find them on page 195 in the annual catalog or here online.

I was celebrating each little step along the way.. like 300+ stamped, die cut circles...  :)

How to stamp the Stampin' UP! Quilted Christmas suite - Christmas Quilt paper squares by Patty Bennett

 

I stamped the stitched outline first in Basic Gray ink, then filled in the "pieces" with Real Red, Pool Party and Lemon Lime Twist ink, on Whisper White cardstock (above).

I die cut them with the outline die in the Quilt Builder framelit (below).

 

  Stampin' UP! Quilted Christmas suite - Christmas Quilt paper squares by Patty Bennett

 

I embossed the 2-3/4" Whisper White square with the Quilt Top embossing folder, layered the die cut quilt pieces on top of it, and then layered them all onto Real Red or Lemon Lime Twist scalloped squares (from the Layering Squares framelits) and then onto 3-1/4" cardstock squares.  I added White Perfect accents to the center of some of the squares.

Mini Pizza Box Christmas Gift Idea

 

If you joined me here yesterday you saw the results of our girls crafting day "Be Merry rosette ornaments" creations, and today I'm sharing a fun thing you might like to do with them.. put one on a Mini Pizza Box for a great little neighbor gift, teacher appreciation gift, co-worker gift, etc.!

 

Stampin' UP! mini pizza box gift idea with Be Merry rosette ornament on top. Perfect for gift giving: cookies, candy, gift cards, jewelry, notes, photos and more! by Patty Bennett

 

This is one of the 7 projects we created last month at our Luv 2 Stamp Group event.  We made the rosette ornaments from the Be Merry kit and hot glued them to a pizza box!  It's the perfect little container for some holiday candy, treats or gift card!

We found that a hot glue gun was a great help in securing all these layers together.

In addition to the contents of the Be Merry ornament kit, we added a Foil Snowflake, punched circle from the Quilted Christmas designer paper stack, a stamped greeting from the Christmas Happiness stamp set, tag border from the Labels to Love set, and the Everyday Label punch. We also added an adorable stitched felt red star from the Stitched Felt Embellishments package, topped off with the Quilted Christmas 1/4" ribbon bow.

Final touches of gold: Faceted Gold Gems and Gold Metallic enamel shaped stars.
