Yesterday I shared little boxes I made using Stampin’ Up! Brights 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. I took them to give to friends at OnStage in Orlando. I also gave them today’s project, matching pouches, that I filled with Dove Chocolates. I created them using the Envelope Punch Board and they really are quick and easy to make! Back in February I did an Envelope Punch Board series and I made a video showing how to construct the pouch. To see that video over on YouTube, click here! Please note: the paper I use in the video is no longer available. (more…)

When online orders are placed, a customer is given the option of selecting a “No Contact” box. This means that Stampin’ Up! does not have permission to pass their contact information on to me. I completely respect anyone’s wish to do this but it makes me sad because I have no way of saying thank you. After I receive an order, I send a thank you via email and then send a thank you package via snail mail. I also send free catalogs to anyone who orders from me and I have other perks as well because I’m very appreciative of all orders I receive.
I received an order this morning and the customer selected the “No Contact” box. Because the host code was used I’m not sure if the No Contact box was checked off in error. If this was your order and you didn’t mean to check the box or it was unclear what it meant, please email me at tracy@stampingwithtracy.com and include a list of several of the items you purchased so I can send you some happy mail!
As I said earlier, I respect a customers right to check off No Contact, but in case it was done in error this morning, I wanted to reach out.
Thank you for your support of my Stampin’ Up! business!

For the past several days I’ve shared cards I swapped at OnStage and today I have a little box I made to give to several friends who also attended. Making boxes might seem a bit intimidating but they’re really pretty easy. The hard part is figuring out the dimensions to make your box but I’ve done that for you! (more…)

I have another swap to share with you! I went out to dinner with friends while in Orlando and this was the card I gave to each of them. I’ve shared this layout before and you can see that card here! It’s an easy card to put together, REALLY. I have a video that I made five months ago with this same layout and you can watch the video here. (more…)

I returned home last night from Orlando, Florida. I had a great time at OnStage, the Stampin’ Up! convention where we celebrated the 30th birthday of Stampin’ Up! The convention was at the Orange County Convention Center and IT. IS. HUGE! I looked it up and it’s the second largest convention facility in the United States. I believe it! My hotel was at one end of the Convention Center and the halls Stampin’ Up! used were at the opposite end! I racked up the steps!
I’m sharing a few pictures from OnStage and a few of the swaps I made to share with other demonstrators. This first picture was the grand finale of the event with confetti everywhere!


Several days ago I shared all the swaps I made as I laid them out on my bed in my hotel room. The cards I’m sharing today are all one layout using Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper! Did you know that on the back of each package of Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! lists all the colors that coordinate with it? Knowing which colors match is not one of my strengths so I love this! (more…)
