#onstage2016 – A Stamping Journey

It has been over a week now since I have returned from Brisbane for Onstage Live. I haven’t stopped since getting back. I now have had a few minutes to look at the photos I took and thought I would share a few of the fun moments.

It was very exciting to be a part of. Brisbane held the Live event running over 3 days of fun presentations, seeing gorgeous new products and great business sessions. Some of the presentations were telecast to centres around the world where the Onstage Local events were being held for one day.

Brisbane is a beautiful city – with even a beach right in the middle of the city!!

The event opened with these amazing guys. Swagamama is a local hip-hop break-dance group. Their performance was incredible with their choreography and acrobatics. You didn’t know where to look next.

Even the President Rich Jutkins is not afraid to stamp. He did a good job too. 🙂

Shelli of course demonstrated some gorgeous projects.

I am not going to share too many of the new products at the moment but I will share just one project Shelli made. Isn’t it gorgeous with the new Dragonfly Thinlits. Ooh! look is that Watercolour pencils?? 😉

There were so many fantastic presentations showing new products coming up in the Occasions Catalogue and for Sale-A-Bration. So many great new techniques too that I just have to try. I might show you some of the projects at a later date though so I don’t give too much away at the moment. 😉

At the end of the last day things were going a little downhill – fast!! I won’t say too much about this but it was very hard for Sara and Shelli to keep it together. It is a bit blurry but just shows the mayhem! Sweet innocent shelli 😉

We already had Rich showing how he could stamp and he mentioned then it would be so much worse if he was on stage with Sara and Shelli. So …… They got him up right at the end for him to finish the project. Pressure was on!

Here is my name badge with ribbons. It is only a small little collection from others but I was pleased with my achievements for this past year.

With some of my stamping buddies, Leonie (left) here and Sarah (right) one of my downline at the great sign.

It was so good to see Shannon West again from the US Home Office. She is so gorgeous.

Onstage is such a fun, inspirational event. I am looking forward to Onstage Local in Sydney in April.

Thanks for looking. It was just a little insight in to the fun.

As you may know the Stampin’ Up! Onstage event is on right now and I am in Brisbane for the Live event. It is very exciting! Part of the fun of the event is swapping with other demonstrators. It’s great sharing ideas and meeting up with others.

I had grand plans for swaps again this year but with college assignments, Stampin’ Up! stuff, family stuff and life it just didn’t work out. I had my design worked out though.

Although I didn’t get to make a number of them as swaps I made one ready for the display board at Onstage.

So here it is. I was inspired by cards on Pinterest for this. This is using the set ‘Paisleys and Posies’.

To create this. First cut a circle using the Layering Circle Framelits from scrap paper. The scrap paper is the same size as your Whisper White mat and you will cut it near the top of your paper. This is your mask piece.

Lay the scrap piece over your white card mat and stamp your images. On this card I have used Flirty Flamingo. Peekaboo Peach, Sweet Sugarplum and Mint Macaron inkpads. Stamp your sentiment on the white card in Black.

I layered the card on to a Peekaboo Peach card base. Then finish with a diecut flower from the ‘Paisleys Thinlits’ and an adhesive pearl in the centre.

I hope you like the card anyway. At least I can share it with you.

We are having a fantastic time at Onstage. I so love catching up with my demonstrator friends. I can’t wait to share the exciting new products coming very soon. So watch this space. 🙂

Now just before I sign off today too since we are talking about Onstage and swapping. I posted Live on my business Facebook page yesterday about the craziness of swapping. You might be able to catch that there still if you head to my page. The link is in the right hand side bar. My first attempt at Facebook Live but I hope to bring more to you soon. 🙂

I hope you have an awesome weekend.
