#OnStage2025 Day Two Raleigh, North Carolina

By now I hope you’ve read the two prior posts of #OnStage2025 Day One. If you’ve not, it’s okay. They all stand alone. Because I took a lot of pictures, I wanted to journal right away before I forget the important points. 

I’m Darla Ann Marker Tweeten, Independent Demonstrator from Iowa, USA.  Been with Stampin’ Up! As a demonstrator for 7 years March 6th. One of the best decisions I’ve made! 

This was a presentation of the new alphabet letters available May5th. I'm unsure of the diecut name as I’m typing this in the Raleigh Airport.  

Have you ever thought of placing the individual letters at different levels? Good and attractive LOVE on this card presentation. Save the negatives to sponge letters as another alternative! Beautiful. 

Gold Glimmer says it doubly well. Put in a shadow box as a keepsake. Layer with DSP and a dry embossed die cut. So simple but elegant. Give this a try!! 

Oh do you sometimes not have the right shade of ribbon color? Or the right size? No worries, try a Marker or Blend to color any ribbon or any size!! Wella everything coordinates. Be sure to allow the ribbon to dry! 

Oh along with the new alphabet dies there are tag dies coming May 5th. These tags are very versatile. Look at some of the uses. Ideas. Inspiration. What more can you image. 

These alphabets and tags would make great scrapbooking embellishments. Layer the tags for texture and an extra wow! 

Try a scrapbooking layout on a greeting card. Just a smaller size. Imagine including a coordinating greeting card with your scrapbook pages. I’m going to try this. What inspiration can you think of? Share them with me in the comments. Your comments are appreciated. 

Lunch time. Was Make and Takes. What do Stampin' Up! Demonstrators do on their lunch hour ... why of course eat a yummy box lunch and stamp with new ink colors on new colors of cardstock.  With new stamp sets coming out in the new annual catalog.  

Friday Night. After Hours Stamp Time for Demonstrators. Some sideline demos meeting for the first time in person. It was lovely evening!  Time always goes too fast. 

Plus the history of Paper Pumpkin Kits … like most popular in each year.

Sample scrapbooking pages using new products.  So exciting to know scrapbooking kits will be in the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. Memory Keeping Products

Look at this banner! Dry embossed die cuts. Can you say cuteness overload. Add a letter or a shape. Love the colors displayed. Graduation banner. Baby or bridal shower. Birthday banner!! 

Products Playground. What's a Product Playground?  It's were OnStage attendees get to see/touch the new Stampin' Up! products. Especially the 2025-2026 In Colors. Plus the history of Paper Pumpkin Kits … like most popular in each year. The demonstrators that had high sales and in what year were on display.
