Another full stampin' weekend! Despite a few technical difficulties, Stampin' Up!'s OnStage At Home 2021 was a success.   What is OnStage you may ask? Every year, in preparation for the upcoming catalog...in this case, the January - June 2022 Mini Catalog...Stampin' Up! hosts an event to debut some of the new products, offer some refresher training to current demonstrators, and recognize the top earners in the Stampin' Up! year.  When you register for OnStage, you are given the opportunity to purchase some items in the upcoming catalog that will be used in the Make and Take session.  This year, that bundle was the Blessings of Home Bundle, a part of the Heart & Home Collection. In a FB Live, I  re-create two of the cards from the Make and Take session using the bundle. You'll see the original version and then my "stepped up" version of the cards.  Don't for get to subscribe to my YouTube channel and click the notification bell 🛎 to be notified...

  Welcome and Happy Fall Y'all! Thanks for stopping by Sweets' Stampin' Creations, where I share card  projects created using Stampin' Up! products.  It's time for another Stamping With Friends blog hop!  I'm hopping with some awesome paper crafters and stampers from the Stamping With Friends Facebook Group.  For this post, it's all about Fall. I love this time of year...although I live in Texas and don't get to experience the changing of the seasons as dramatically as my college years when I lived in Worcester, MA...I still remember the colors of the season and the changing of temperatures from hot to cool (not cold).    Fall, the time of the year between Summer and Winter (usually between September and December) heralds in pumpkin season (pumpkin spice, pumpkin pie...you get the drift), soup season, leaves changing colors, cooler weather, apple picking (I've never done that), etc. T here are so many ways to celebrate this season of the year.  ...
