Stampin' Up! Convention News - Day 2

NailTamie Mayıs 30, 2022

Day 2 at Convention was very different than in years past. And I liked the changes! Instead of starting with everyone together in general sessions in the main ballroom, we began the day with breakout sessions. I also did make and takes Friday morning. Stampin' Up! usually has four or five make and takes at convention using the Free Stamp Sets that come in your convention bags. They supply everything; right down to the snail adhesive and scissors. This year's projects were fabulous. They also had display boards filled with more card ideas and three dimensional projects using our free convention stamps. I'm having trouble uploading at the hotel so I'll show you more photos once I'm home.

Then, after a looong break for lunch--also something new this year--the afternoon was all general session. The longer lunch breaks gave us more time to shop Memento Mall, see live demos of new products, including demos from the new Holiday Mini catalog, swap, and photograph the display boards. The new catalogs will be available to customers Sept 1 and available for demo pre-orders August 1. I think it's my favorite Stampin' Up! mini ever! If you have purchased from me previously, you are already on my mailing list for a Holiday Mini as soon as they are released. Contact me here and add your mailing address to the Comments sections to request a copy of the Holiday min catalog.

The main stage demonstrations provided demonstrators with great ideas for monthly hostess gifts, demonstrations of easy-to-do projects, and "Wow" projects covering themes for the next several months. Stampin' Up! makes it so easy to be a demonstrator! The stage demonstrations have been so fun this year. This year, each demonstrator brought a Plus one (+one) on stage to help with demos; daughters, the head of IT, etc. It added a different perspective to the presentations, and showed you how to tailor workshops to the needs of these different audiences.

For the first time ever Stampin' Up! also included more projects in the evenings. Friday evening I took a workshop where we made this cute village cottages. Click on any photo to see it larger.

We'll I'm off for final day of Convention this morning. And a shoe box swap tonight after Convention ends, so it's going to be another busy day. Look for copies of my swap cards tomorrow!

Enjoy!
