Inkredible Stamping

I’m back home from Tulsa Regionals and I had a blast! I picked up a lot of little tips and fun new techniques that I can’t wait to share at my events, stamp camps, and on this blog! I loved experiencing regionals with my team members, we had the biggest group of us ever all at the same session of an event! There was a lot of gift sharing which is always fun! Debbie filled a clear paint can with snacks for everyone in the group. I’m looking forward to altering my can and also to seeing what everyone else does with their cans.

Crista and Sue surprised me with a beautiful flower basket when I arrived at the hotel! It was so fun to have a bright cheery flower arrangement in my room! My downline always treats me so well at Stampin’ Events!! Thanks to all of you!! They even signed the card with my trademark Happy Stampin’! 🙂

Lisa gave me a cute pair of pink and purple bunny socks to keep my feet warm. Sorry, no pictures of the socks, they went right on my feet and now they’re in the washer so I can wear them again tonight! 🙂

I took so many pictures of fun ideas on the display boards at regionals. Here’s just a few of the ideas I loved!

This fun notes cork board was created with the On Board Ginormous Pieces chipboard.

One of my favorite new techniques, using stamps as tools. We were given lots of fun ideas for ways to use our stamps as a template or tool instead of as a stamp. This "postage" stamp look was created by stamping one of our label stamps on the back of the card stock and using it as a template for punching and cutting. I’m sure we’ll try this technique out at an upcoming stamp camp!

Dragon, Dream, Giggle, and Wish dust. Cute party favor ideas for your kids. These cello bags were filled with our pretty Glitters and then topped with card stock. A cute poem is attached to each.

Dragon Dust: Sprinkle a pinch when a bit of extra bravery is needed for a hero’s quest.

Giggle Dust: Just sprinkle a pinch to promote all things curious and silly

Dream Dust: Sprinkle a pinch to guard against nightmares and to help make dreams come true.

Wishing Dust (not pictured, but Dazzling Diamonds Glitter was used): Because in every life a little magic must fall.

My favorite tip of the day! You all know I love that we mount our own stamps because it allows us to look at the stamp sets and cut them apart to use the way we want! Sometimes you can get several stamps out of 1, but finding the extra wood blocks for our stamps is always a challenge. Here they showed us how to use Dominoes to mount our stamps! In the example, they took the "A Little Bit of Happiness" Level 1 hostess set or 4, and cut all the little pieces out to create a lot of fun little images (22 to be exact) that can be used individually. They mounted each stamp on a domino and added the cut apart index stickers. 

There many more ideas floating around in my head! If you want to know how you can join out group next time we travel to a Stampin’ Up! event, contact me!
