Inkredible Stamping with Julie

Zentangling and Blendabilities - Say That Three Times Fast...

Hi Stampers, Stampin' Up!'s annual convention will be kicking off tonight w/a fun party! I didn't get to go this year - a little bummed!! - BUT some of my team members are there - so I'll get to keep up with some of the fun through them! Of course every year - even if I can't go - I give my convention goers a small gift for taking the time out to go lean at convention! I usually do a bag tag of some sort - there's lots of the same bags walking around at the convention center and... Read more →

Amazing You Swap Card #1

Hi Stampers! Today I've got another one of my swap cards from convention. This time a traditional hand stamped card. I've been obsessed with the pretty Basic Black and Strawberry Slush color combo lately so I played around with those colors to create a Clean and Simple card! I had fun with a Black Background - not my norm - the texture looks great on it and the Strawberry Slush really pops! Stamp Sets: Papillion Potpourri, Express Yourself Paper: Basic Black, Whisper White, Strawberry Slush Inks: Strawberry Slush and Jet Black StazOn Tools: Fancy Fan Embossing Folder, Bitty and Elegant...

Convention Gifts for My Team...

Hi Stampers, As most of you know - I LOVE to spoil my team - and Convention is a GREAT time to do that! I always give me team members a gift for going to Convention - and this year was Stampin' Up!'s 25th Anniversary (and my 10 year) so I wanted to do something extra special!! The first thing I found for my Convention Gift were these ADORABLE Itsy Bags from Suzi Homemaker. They come in a lot of different fun colors and fabrics - I choose a Gray Cordoray bag to go along with this year's convention colors... Read more →

I Am... Making Gifts for my Convention Goers

Hi Stampers, The Annual Stampin' Up! Convention started today. I wasn't able to go this year (I've missed the past couple of years) I'm always a bit bummed to miss out on convention is SO full of great energy and inspiration but fortunatly a few of my team members are going so they can bring a bit of that excitement back to share with the team! :) I always like to send a little gift along with my convention goers.

Flower Flair for a Coin Purse

I promised you a look at the gift I gave my Convention goers this year. Now that they are on their way to Salt Lake City and will soon be opening their gifts I can share with you! Each year at convention Stampin' Up! gives out a bag to keep all your supplies in. They come up with some of the best bags ever!! (I'm a bit of a bag junkie and when it's done is SU colors and patterns there is nothing better in my book) But in that sea of similar bags it's easy to loose track of... Read more →

Gifts for My Convention Goers

Stampin' Up!'s Convention is coming up next week. This year I'm going in spirit but I couldn't make it work to go in body! :) But I wanted to make sure that my Create, Ink. team members that are going to convention this year still got a little spoiling from me. So I got their gifts all ready to go and wrapped them up. They're now snug in the carry on bags of my convention goers with instructions to open them once they get to the Hotel (that's when I usually hand out the gifts - kinda a welcome to... Read more →

Initial Bag Tags are Fun and Easy with Fun Foam

Stampin' Up!'s annual convention started today. I decided not to go this year which turned out to be a good thing. I don't have the energy back yet to tackle convention excitement!! :) I was SO thrilled that some of my Create, Ink girls were still making the convention trip - so we'll all get to look over their swaps and hear about the convention excitement at our next meeting. As many of you know I usually bring a fun gift to my team members at convention each year, and I didn't want this year's convention goers to miss out... Read more →
