Stampin’ Up! OnStage 30th Anniversary in Orlando

Last week, I attended the Stampin’ Up! OnStage in Orlando, Florida.  OnStage is Stampin’ Up!’s version of convention.  This year the company is celebrating 30 years in business, and OnStage was a huge celebration of this milestone.  OnStage is always fun, but this one was even more so.

When we checked in, we received a nice gift box that contained our OnStage bag.  We always get a bag, and this time was no exception.  There were also some other goodies in the box, including a brand new stamp set called Amazing Life out of the upcoming Occasions Catalog.

On the first day, there were some announcements and company information that was shared.  But my favorite part was receiving the brand new Occasions Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration brochure.  My catalog is already well-loved and shows it.

Stampin’ Up! OnStage attendees have the distinct privilege of seeing catalogs before anyone else.  We also get to order a select group of items from new catalogs first.  These catalogs go live on January 3rd, but if you’re on my mailing list, you can get copies in December.  Sign up here to receive a copy.  I will also have a separate post explaining Sale-A-Bration.  It is our biggest sale of the year, and this year it is going to be really great.

Opportunities to stamp

The event lasted three days and the first two days, we had opportunities to stamp, which of course is what we all love to do.  We made several “make and takes” using new products.

Stampin’ Up! OnStage never disappoints when it comes to giveaways!

There were several all-attendee giveaways during the event, including stamp sets, Designer Series Paper, and even a fold-away beach bag.

Everyone who attends Stampin’ Up! OnStage receives a button with a number and color.  Throughout the event, they will do Prize Patrols and pick a number.  My number was six, and it was the very last number called almost at the end of the event.  My Prize Patrol stamp set was Wonderful Romance.  I can’t wait to play with this set, and all of the other sets I received at Stampin’ Up! OnStage this year!
