I recently attended an event hosted by Stampin’ Up! called OnStage. It’s an opportunity for demonstrators to gather together to celebrate and inspire one another and see the next publication being launched. There is so much to be excited about, it feels like a big girls weekend away. What could be nicer, a fun weekend away with your crafting buddies?
It is also an opportunity to connect with my team members. I made my direct team a little gift filled with some Easter treats and as we were so close to Easter I made it Bunny themed. 
I covered our treat cups in Cajun Craze card stock to make them look like terracotta pots. I added a grey pompom and added a little white tail and some large bunny feet made using my Stampin’ Up! punches old and new.
I added some leaves and a disco of Early Espresso on the top of the lid to look like earth and glued the mini eggs in place 🙂 I’ve since heard that some of the ladies ate the eggs – ewwww!
Inside the lid was a little message from me and one person who was lucky enough to get the random winner announcement in the lid received a whole set of the Stampin’ Markers as a gift from me.
Here are all the bunnies ready to come with me in the car to OnStage…
It was a non-stop couple of days spent laughing, sharing and celebrating. On Friday evening, demonstrators titled Silver Elite and above are invited to a dinner and I also reward my direct team who have worked hard on their business to promote to this title and earn this special reward.
I wrapped the gifts and made a handmade notecard and envelope using vellum.
I even added our cute little seals to the back of the envelope to close it, it looked super classy!
And this is what was inside. A beautiful personalised back with either their own name or their business name on the front and Stampin’ Up! on the reverse. They are such wonderful sturdy bags which can hold a BigShot and perfect for taking all their Stampin Up Stuff to classes and workshops.
The bags are from Tillyanna.co.uk.
One of the most exciting things about OnStage is being the first to see the new annual catalogue launching on June 4th. We get our very own copy and get to create make and takes using brand new supplies. Its a beautiful catalogue and you can reserve your copy by filling out my contact form here
We get so much lovely freebies for going to these events, it is pretty incredible really and fantastic value!
The eagle eyed amongst you will notice three new stamp sets and other bits which are brand new! We really do get spoiled rotten! We even get a bag to carry it all home in!
My team then also spoil me with beautiful swaps, gifts and tokens of apprecaition. The Pinkies are such a lovely bunch and I am so lucky to call myself their team leader.
I thought you may like a close up…
It was a wonderful two days and I came back with my heart full and my mind buzzing with creative ideas. The next event is in November and it is held in Dortmund in Germany. Why not join Stampin’ Up! so you can come along with me and join all the fun and celebrate the launch of the Spring & Summer Seasonal and Saleabration?
Enjoy looking through this post and being inspired but all the lovely photos. If you might want to make the same Easter Bunny treats you will want to order some sweet cups as they are not carrying over into the new annual catalogue so are only available till the beginning of June or whilst stocks last.
Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by x
Oh, how I love these bunnies! Would you mind sharing the sizes of the punches you used, and the size of the pompom? I can’t recall ever having seen grey pompoms. Your gifts are lovely, and beautifully presented. I am sure the recipients were overjoyed. Thank you for sharing. I am a demo from Pennsylvania and living in a senior apartment, I am always looking for cute ways to share holiday treats with others on my floor.
