Hello friends!
This is a post that is part of the application process to be considered for a Display Board Stamper at the upcoming OnStage event in April 2017 for Stampin’ Up! in Richmond, Virginia. It would be such a great honor to have the opportunity to create samples for the display board at the upcoming event! Keep your fingers crossed for me!!
To be considered, we must submit a scrapbook page, two 3D items, and three cards. Ready to see my creations? First up is the scrapbook page. There is more than one scrapbook page shown below because I am sharing a paper bag scrapbook that I created using several items from Stampin’ Up’s current 2016-2017 Annual Catalog. What I’ve done is fold the good old brown paper bags in half. I then sew them with a sewing machine so there’s no chance they’re coming apart. The pages are 5×5 and a ton of fun to create! You just let your imagination go. I’ve made a ton of these scrapbooks over the past several years for my family and friends. They are great for your desk at the office or coffee table at home!
Next up are my three cards. Card number one is a group shot of my Valentine’s Day cards from 2015 showcasing the Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper that we had in our 2015 Occasions Catalog. There are a few cards in the picture where I added lots of hearts from our punches and die cuts spilling out of the mini envelope for fun!
Card number two is a birthday card that I created for my daughter back in August, 2016. I just love all of the bright colors. It’s such a happy card! I also stamped on the enveloped some squiggles and the #imbringingbirthdaysback that was started by Shannon West last year.
Card number three is also one of my favorites. It was so much fun creating all of the fun bright flowers and making the 1/2 card front. Another happy card with a fun little surprise in the front and all of the bright flowers.
In the last category, you will see my two 3D items. The first one is an adorable little mailbox that I put together using a Hershey’s chocolate nugget. I just love the flag with the little heart! I went crazy handing them out to everyone last year for Valentine’s Day. I love surprising everyone with cute little treats like this!
Lastly, my second 3D item is a desktop easel calendar that I put together this past Christmas for all of my teacher, hairdresser, bus driver, music instructors, etc. gifts. These took a bit of planning, but I had a great time going through my stamp sets and creating a scene for each month. Check back here at the beginning of each month where I will be sharing that particular month’s creation!
Thanks for sticking with me through all of my creations! Please leave a comment for me below telling me which one is your favorite. I’d love to hear from you. Wish me luck with my submission! Happy Stamping friends!
XOXO

Good luck Wendy! They’re all great! My favorite is the little mailbox chocolate treat! It’s adorable.
