Goodies from My Stampin' Up! OnTour Event

Last week, I participated in the Minneapolis, MN OnTour event hosted by Stampin' Up! This was a demonstrator only event, that had around 240 participants! While we met virtually for a few hours, it was so fun to meet other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators!

As part of OnTour, we were asked to make a card sample using the Etched in Nature stamp set that Stampin' Up! sent to us. I also participated in a card swap with some team members and other demos. It was os fun, and I'm excited to share those items with you today!

Here's the sample card I made with the Etched in Nature stamp set:

Craft Roulette Challenges 57 and 58

Happy Saturday! Last week, I was introduced to a fun crafting game show called Craft Roulette. The host, Mary Gunn, spins a wheel and she and a guest crafter make a card using the parameters selected - live on video. All of us home viewers are encouraged to play along and make cards, too!

Here's my card for Challenge #57:


Isn't it cute?! The parameters for Challenge 57 were:
  • PROJECT: Pick-a-Sketch (the cohost, Jessica Taylor, picked a nice sketch for us!)
  • COLORS: Pastels
  • ELEMENTS: Rainbows
  • RANDOM: Stencil

You could have a lot of fun with these parameters to make a beautiful card! To make my card, I used Basic White and Balmy Blue cardstock for the base and layers. I then die cut a Poppy Parade die from Stitched So Sweetly die set and sponged the Poppy Parade with white ink to dull down the color. With the Layering Circle Dies, I cut out circles in Pale Papaya, So Saffron, Soft Sea Foam, and Fresh Freesia cardstocks. The clouds stencil is from the March 2021 Paper Pumpkin kit. Then, I heat embossed "Miss You" on Basic Black cardstock. Below is a list of all the products I used that are currently available (two cardstock colors are live on May 4).


Here's my card for Challenge #58:


The parameters for Challenge #58 are:
  • PROJECT: Fancy Fold (anything that doesn't open like a typical card)
  • COLORS: Green + 3 (neutrals don't count unless you want them to)
  • ELEMENT(S): Outdoors
  • RANDOM: Swink (swiping ink)

Submissions for Challenge #58 are still being accepted through the end of the day on Sunday, April 25 at 11:59p Central time. Click here to watch the Challenge 58 YouTube video and play along!

For this card, I did a fun fold, and did the "swinking" with a Cajun Craze ink spot (but you can get a similar effect with the full size stamp pad). I CASEd the design directly from page 58 of the Jan-Jun 2021 Mini Catalog. Below, you can see the list of products needed to recreate this card!
