OnStage Savannah pillow gift
When we go to Stampin Up! events, staying overnight, we generally give gifts to our roommate. This is the gift I made for my roommate and downline, Susanne.
I wanted to make something that she could use on her desk and this is what I came up with. I took Designer Paper that was available during Sale-a-Bration and covered an empty Project Life box. I used Tear and Tape to adhere the paper on the sides of both the top and bottom. I love these Hot Air Balloons! And I'm happy that this set is carrying over to the new catalog coming out June 1.
Here is the top of the box
I layered cardstock to cover the top and made the Stitched Shapes squares into rectangles. I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy from the stamp set that came with the Watercolor Wishes kit (retiring). I stamped the clouds in Smoky Slate and cut out them out using the Up & Away thinlit dies.The hot air balloons were stamped in Basic Black archival ink and then cut out using those same framelits. The large hot air balloon was cut out using the dies in Night of Navy and then using watermelon wonder, peekaboo peach, mint macaron and dapper denim cardstock. Making these are so easy using the framelits and its a great way to use scraps. I used the fine tip glue to adhere those smaller parts to the large balloon. The two smaller balloons were colored in using ink and blender pens in those same colors. You can also color the balloons with markers or with an aquapainter.
For the inside of the box:
I cut up some heavyweight printer paper to fill the back space with note paper. I took a RSVP pen (available at Staples, Walmart, etc) and took a small strip of the same paper and filled the clear body of the pen with it to make the pen match. I then added some post-it notes and flags.
This was a fun and easy project to do and a great way to use up those empty Project Life boxes!

Retiring List Released!
Stampin' Up! has released the Retiring List (see it here). So many stamp sets, dies, embellishments, etc are going away. That makes me sad. Some of my favorites are leaving. Many items are up to 50% off and they will go quickly. All of the 2015-2017 In Color items will go in a flash. If there is anything you want, you should order immediately because when they are gone, they are gone forever! All items are as supplies last!

OnStage Savannah
I just returned from OnStage Savannah--one of Stampin' Up!'s events that they hold twice a year. The main event was in Amsterdam and then there were local events throughout the continents that didn't hold the main event! At this event I received the new annual catalog (you'll be able to shop that catalog beginning June 1). We saw the new In Colors and I received 3 new stamp sets plus additional goodies.
I thought I'd share some of the swaps I received--just a sneak peek as I need to catalog each card to give credit to the makers
There were some beautiful cards there as well as some 3-D items. I'll be posting more cards and items later.
The Retiring List is coming out later today. I'll post a link to it as soon as it's available. You'll want to make your purchases immediately as many items will sell out quickly--especially the 2015-2017 In Color items!

Day at the Beach Swap Card
For my second general swap card for OnStage Savannah, I wanted a birthday card that was summery. And what's better than flip flops and a beach umbrella? A plus was that I got to watercolor!
I'm always happy when the weather is warm enough to wear flip flops! I'm heading to the beach at the end of May and can't wait!
I'm loving these watercolor pencils. I'm really hoping that Stampin' Up! will have more colors in the new annual catalog that comes out in June!
Details and printable instructions can be found here
Happy Stamping!
