Since Seth spent over a week before his birthday surfing with family and friends and won’t have the opportunity to surf for two years (he leaves mid-July to serve a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), this surfboard packaging was made especially for him!

Ashton is a curious young man, taller than me now, and has lots of hobbies. One of those hobbies involves practicing for hours with his bow and arrow. Ashton chuckled a bit and smiled big when he saw his birthday gift packaging—a quiver and arrows, if you couldn’t tell!

As promised, here are the projects I shared at April’s OnStage in New Zealand using the Believe You Can host set. Enjoy!

…I hope you’re loving the annual catalog, and that these projects inspire you!

LeeAnn told us that she was afraid of three things: speaking in public, heights, and spiders. Well, she did two of the three while here with us. Well done, LeeAnn, and congratulations on your amazing milestone!

I know it’s long after Father’s Day, but I’m posting anyway. This “worn” shirt pocket, was the Father’s Day gift packaging for the men in my life who mean the most to me. See below for my first-ever tutorial. Scratch that! I can’t get it to download. I’ll have to ask someone…

This is the card Sara and I sent to Dawn Griffith for achieving 2M in career sales. Designed especially for Dawn, using the set she helped design after she achieved her first million, this is a Dawn card if I ever saw one, and we hope she loved it when she received it! Amazing accomplishment and amazing card! Congratulations, Dawn!

France Martin, also known as “Frenchie,” achieved her million-milestone recently, and we’re so happy for her! Created just for France, we sent this card to her and hope it says congratulations in a meaningful way! 

Liam and Abbie are out of school for summer, so our trip to Florida was a treat! It’s been a long time since we’ve all been together, and it was a grand time!

Seth and Zach are leaving to serve missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints this summer. In preparation, they both went to the temple over the weekend. It was especially gratifying for Sterling and me when Seth said afterward, “Thanks for the temple preparation classes. They helped a lot.” Spending time with him and talking about things so sacred was an honor. It was a great day with family in one of our favorite places!

Angie Juda recently hit TWO MILLION in career sales, and this is the adorable card Sara and I sent Angie to congratulate her for this amazing milestone! Way to go, Angie!

I’m kind of sad this set is leaving us, but for those who have it, here’s a simple thank you card that I’ve enjoyed sending out, and it’s gender neutral—a plus!

I love that this bright and cheery birthday packaging mimics Olivia’s personality. She’s cheerful, kind, and brightens up everyone’s day! Although this DSP and punch are going away, imagine one of our new Designer Series Papers and our new Perennial Flower punch in their place. Too fun…and simple too!

Jackie Bolhuis was here last week for her million-milestone trip, and we thoroughly enjoyed celebrating her!

Our Stampin’ Up! Day of Service this year included lots of different activities around the world… There’s nothing quite like service to bring people together and make a difference!

Mario likes to work on cars and has owned some pretty nice (and fast!) ones, so Geared Up Garage seemed like a natural place to start for his recent birthday matchbox packaging.
