What’s Onstage 2018 all about?

Stampin’ Up! hosts 2 Onstage events in each of its global markets each year. there will be a main OnStage Live location.

For November OnStage 2018 we are celebrating 30 years of Stampin’ Up! and it was hosted at Disneyland Orlando.  Then at the same time across the US, Europe and the South Pacific regions there will be smaller OnStage Local events.  The UK event was in Birmingham yesterday and I joined around 450 other demonstrators at the Vox Centre for a day filled with crafting, new product demonstrations and demonstrator recognition.  I’ve gone to every OnStage event since I signed up 4 years ago and love the atmosphere as everyone anticipates seeing the new catalogue and catching up with one another.

New Spring Summer catalogue sneak previews

.I’m going to share all my swaps and demo selfies with you next week but I wanted to share some sneak peeks of the make and takes we made yesterday.  For the first time ever we can start sharing the new products with our lovely customers straight away there was no spoiler alert !

So are you ready?

Needlepoint Nook suite

I love every little bit of this product suite and the needlecraft detail from the framelits is stunning.  The designer series paper is so lovely I’m going to have to force myself to use it !

Classic Garage suite

Now if you’re a bit like me I always find it tricky making male cards but this next suite takes all that pressure away.  The stamp set lends itself to birthdays, congratulations and fathers day so is very versatile. I will add the sentiment to the pizza box once I have the right occasion.

This suite is perfect for weddings, anniversaries, Valentine’s Day and for a female occasion – it is delicate and feminine with beautiful detail.

So it wouldn’t be quite complete without a birthday card sneak peek – this cute little set was in our OnStage 2018 canvas bag goodie selection.  Yes we get fabulous gifts when we attend OnStage events and then during prize patrols we get even more free product – why wouldn’t you want to join me ?
