Stampin' Up! OnStage November 16th was awesome, it was a full on day of meeting up with old friends, making new ones, crafting and a lot of laughter. Every OnStage is great but this one was different as I travelled to Sydney, Australia instead of attending the one in Auckland, New Zealand. These events are held all over the world and are a highlight to our year. Stampin' Up! show their appreciation to us Demonstrators at these OnStage's by spoiling us with lots of free product and showing us sneak peeks of new Catalogues coming out.  You can join me at the next one and find out for yourself! Join my 'Ink It On' team today. You can also order from this new Mini Catalogue a whole MONTH earlier with a 20% discount. All your Christmases at once. Here are a few photos from my OnStage experience.  BE WARNED!!  Sneak peeks of some of the new products available from 3rd January 2020. My first look at the new Mini Catalogue (new name it was called Occasio...

Hi all When you are reading this I will be in Sydney looking forward to attending On Stage on Saturday. These events are for Stampin' Up! demonstrators and are held all over the world. We get to meet up with other demonstrators and renew friendships. I will be catching up with Mandy Whitherby a great friend I have made through Stampin' Up! We also get to see and play with some of the new products that will be in the Occasions Catalogue that comes out on 2 January 2020.

The card base measurements are 16cm x 10cm. Layer is 9.5cm x 7.5cm. The card base is layered with the same colour as the base which is Old Olive. I stamped the leaf lines with Old Olive ink.
