Holiday Catalog Sneak Peeks + Vacation Stamping School Highlights

2019 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog Sneak Peeks + Vacation Stamping School Highlights ~ www.juliedavison.comSaturday marked the 14th annual demonstrator training event that I have helped organized. Formerly Spring Into Stamping and now called Vacation Stamping School, we moved our event to late summer when Stampin' Up! starting holding On Stage in April. The timing works out perfectly as it gives us an opportunity to train our team and demonstrator friends on the upcoming Holiday Catalog.

It's a full day of stamping  and sharing -- from morning and afternoon demonstration fairs (with a total of 10 booths to view), make and takes, and main stage presentations -- I think it's safe to say that everyone left feeling inspired and motivated as we prepare for the launch of the Holiday Catalog next week. Here are a few photos that capture some of my favorite things:

Terri Gaines, a Million Dollar Sales Achiever, was our guest speaker this year. She shared her 12 Weeks Before Christmas project collection with us and WOW!! Each project was amazing! Here is one of my favorites. I created the half-circle pop up card four years ago and was so excited to see Terri breathe new life into this card design with the Let It Snow Suite and new Snowman Builder Punch.

My favorite technique was one shared by Linda Yearsley. She embossed the colored foil sheets with the new Winter Knit embossing folder, applied Versamark ink, and heat embossed with different metallic embossing powders. The result was stunning!! I can't wait to try this technique!

Doesn't this always happen?! My Holiday Catalog wish list grew -- a lot -- after seeing so many amazing projects, like the snow globe cards and ornaments that Rachel Chamberlain shared. I didn't think I needed that bundle!

Have you seen the Feels Like Frost Designer Paper? This 6x6 paper pack is gorgeous with photo-realistic images on one side and metallic designs on the others. Rachel used this paper on the card above and Ramona Simpson created the card below. Ramona also shared how she added color to the metallic side to make the paper more versatile. Wow!!
