NC DEMO MAY 2025 BLOG HOP - FEATURING 2025-2027 IN COLORS

Welcome to the MAY 2025 NC SU DEMO BLOG HOP

This month, we're excited to showcase the brand-new 2 2025–2027 In Colors, you may have hopped over from

Laurie Meier, if you did not make sure to check her out too. Laurie always has great ideas.

I’ve chosen to highlight the vibrant and juicy Strawberry Slush. For my card, I used the Layered Thoughts and Painted Stripes stamp sets. I love how bold and modern the Painted Stripes background feels—clean, simple, and perfect for making a statement!

Here's a look at my project—a bright and cheerful thank you card that’s quick to make but full of personality. The “thank you” sentiment from Layered Thoughts adds the perfect touch to finish it off.

Be sure to hop along with the rest of the group to see more inspiration using these fresh new colors!

Thank you for stopping by and don't forget to check out the other NC Demo Blog hop participants. Next you will find Tracie Evans Langley - the Sassy Stamper be sure to see what great projects she has for you.

NC DEMOES APRIL 2025 BLOG HOP

Welcome to our NC DEMOES APRIL 2025 BLOG HOP. This month we are sharing ideas with a theme of "It's Hip To Be Square!" Last month (March) at Stampin' UP@ OnStage conference we met in Raleigh NC where our regular bloggers did a photo op but we did miss Jo Anne who had to leave because of an impending storm, we did get a group photo with everyone else of our regular bloggers.

This picture was our inspiration for our April Blog Theme, as a matter of fact as we were having our photo taken one of the girls said the squares would be a great theme for us for April. I can't wait to see what everyone shares. You may have come from Tracie's blog here, if not make sure you circle back for a great project.

My card is a 4x4 square using these fun Sweet Jar & Blooming Phrases stamp sets. I am all about jars, I store things in them (I love this type lid) I make gifts with them. Just fun containers for place settings etc. I also used the Blooming Phrases stamp set (I love the script type font with a squiggle at the end.) I have even made them myself with a fun script phrase and make the squiggle after the words.

Thank you for stopping by, make sure you hop along to the next blog to see what fun things they have in store for you! Don't forget to check out what Tina has for you here.

ON STAGE PART 1

I've been meaning to share my fun trip to Raleigh, NC, where I met up with some of my team members for Stampin’ Up!’s annual convention—ON STAGE! We had an absolute blast, and there’s so much to share, so I’ll be posting in parts.

The adventure started on my flight, where I had a layover in Baltimore. While there, I had a fun surprise—I ran into Julie Davidson and some of her team members! If you’ve ever watched her on YouTube, you know how talented she is, so it was exciting to meet her in person. Such a great way to kick off an amazing event!

Next stop after arriving at the airport was to check in to our hotel and walk across the street to pick up our bags and we saw this photo op prop and decided to take a quick picture. Debbie was not with us yet. Left to right is Laura, Donna, Me, Karel (we roomed together and had a blast.

Later that afternoon we went to the official first general session to ON STAGE, below are my team members that were able to attend, in front is Laura MeGinnis from West Virgnia, then me, next Karel Standish from Raleigh area (Garner, NC) Debbie Green from Raleigh area (Creedmoor, NC) Donna Harrison (West Virginia) Donna is Laura's mother. We all wore white. What a fun evening after general session.

I'll blog on the rest at a later date soon. Have a great week! Thanks for stopping by.

NC DEMOS FEBRUARY 2025 BLOG HOP ~ SKETCH IT OUT!

Welcome to the February NC DEMO Blog Hop!

If you hopped over from Kelly Taranto's blog, I’m sure you were inspired by her incredible project. If you didn't see Kelly's post, be sure to circle back and take a look—you won’t want to miss it!

This month’s theme is “Sketch It Out”, we had to copy a template from page 22 for our interpretation (I used template #3). I decided to use the Toadstool Bundle (stamp set and punch) and along with the FREE Toadstool designer paper that you can only get through 2/28/25 (this Friday) with a $60 order from the SAB catalog. My inspiration came from table napkins one of my customer’s Diane gave me for my next event. She loved the Toadstools and thought they would be a cute addiction.
