Almost nothing can be better than glitter and a gift bag. I combined these elements to create a festive little bag perfect for holding gift cards and other small items. Just love the combination of glitters and metallics.

Stampin’ Up!’s Gold Striped Treat bags are only $5.50 for 10 and they can be fancied up any way you like. I used the Santa’s Sleigh Thinlits. And guess what? They are on sale during Stampin’ Up!’s Online Extravaganza for $27. The 1/8-inch Gold Ribbon is also on sale; 40 percent off — just $3 a spool. Shop directly from my online store or contact me to help you place an order.

One of the traditions of attending a Stampin’ Up! gathering is to bring gifts for team members who are attending with you. I was fortunate to travel with one of my team members, Dawn, to Salt Lake City for OnStage.

I made her this cute notepad holder using one of Stampin’ Up!’s Clear Mount Stamp Cases. I slipped a couple of pieces of Designer Series Paper into the front opening and added a calendar, business card holder, notepad, and pen. Super cute. Super fun. Super easy.

A list of all of the products I used to create this project is below. Let me know if you have questions.

The Stampin’ Up! Convention just ended in Salt Lake City and it was filled with lots of news and fun for all. One of the big announcements was the release of an awesome, exclusive, Stampin’ Up! designed stamp positioning tool called the Stamparatus.

The product won’t be released until next year, however, I wanted you to have the chance to be one of the first to receive this exciting new product by reserving your copy.

Have you ever struggled to apply just the right amount of pressure when you stamp? The Stamparatus will solve that issue.

Why do YOU need one? You’ll fall in love with stamping all over again when you learn everything you can do with it!

==> Make multiples with ease

==> Consistently stamp crisp, clean images

==> If you want a darker impression, apply more ink and restamp—no need to start over

==> Make fewer mistakes, saving time and money

==> Easily create 2-step, 3-step, and 4-step stamped images using reversible plates

==> Develop new and specialized stamping techniques with adjustable stamping plates and precision placement

Let’s get you on the list. The product will sell for $49.00 USD. Reservations begin at 3 p.m. today. You’ll need to set up a profile/account in my online store (kimquade.stampinup.net) and are required to provide your credit card information. Credit cards will not be charged until the Stamparatus ships from our facility., which  will begin in early February. When you close your order, be sure to verify that your credit card and shipping information is correct.

I’m thrilled with this new product, it solves all my stamping challenges. It’s big news when something breaks the mold and changes everything. The Stamparatus will change the way you stamp, and before long, you’ll wonder how you crafted without it!

Happy stamping! Please let me know if you have questions!

I am back from Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage demonstrator gathering in Salt Lake City. What a whirlwind! I will post a few photos and such in the next few days!

Here is the second card I swapped during the week. It features Stampin’ Up!’s So Many Shells set. I created the  background using the B acrylic block. I inked the block, stamped off to achieve a light color,and  stamped onto the Very Vanilla card stock.

Thanks for stopping by today!

So excited to be in Salt Lake City attending Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage Live event. As demonstrators, we’ll get to see and play with new  product, learn from talented demonstrators, meet stampers from all over, and swap our handmade cards. I was able to get 40 made (three different designs). 

This is one of the cards I’ll be swapping today. It features the Big on Birthday’s stamp set (found in the Annual Catalog), Burlap Background, and the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack. This makes an awesome masculine card, but you can switch out the Designer Series Paper and create a feminine card, as well. 

I can’t wait to see what cards I get in return!

Thanks for stopping by today!
