Once a month I get to spend a few hours with the incredible folks on my team for what is called "Inspiration Night". We gather in a meeting room at a local hotel to fellowship, each chocolate, I give away door prizes (free products!), eat chocolate, view a huge display area for inspiration, provide recognition, eat chocolate and of course – STAMP! Did I mention we eat chocolate?
There are always four different make & take projects. Everything is pre-designed and ready to stamp and assemble. Through the process, they learn tips and techniques and try out new products. I like to think of it as trying on a new outfit before you buy it!
Here's one of their make & take projects for tonight's Inspiration Night.
Isn't this adorable?! The original idea came from Becky R. I made a few tweaks. One includes using the new 3"x6" Gusseted Cellophane Bags which I cut down to 3 1/4", to hold the image.
I stamped in Melon Mambo ink and used the Pop of Pink Designer Paper. My greeting comes from the set "Me=Grateful" (page 43). I purchased the lollipop stickers at a party store in the cake decorating isle.
The vast majority of the people on my team are just like you – hobby paper crafters. They purchased the custom kit to receive lots more product then they wanted to spend. $125 in product for only $99 with free shipping! The best part is that you extra time to shop at a 20% discount without any obligation. AND, the offer is still good for you to take advantage of!

The thick Whisper White Baker's Twine cinches the cellophane bag nicely and adds that perfect detail to the card. This Swirly Bird stamp set is way more than swirls and birds!

Eat chocolate, Yum!! Too bad I don’t live in your area. I love today’s card. You are so clever to put the “lollipop” in a cellophane bag…so realistic. I love the Pop of Pink DSP. Have a great day and enjoy your team meeting tonight.
Ohhh, and LOTS of chocolate, HJ! Would you believe that they can consume about 2lbs. in one night?! Unbelievable! The card inspiration comes from Becky R. It’s not my original idea and I believe I noted that in my post. I made a few tweaks and used the new SU! gusset cello bags (which I love!) and changed up the greeting. Such a fun and EASY card! Our Inspiration Night’s (IN’s as we call them) are so much fun and it’s wonderful to get together once a month to stamp. I always look forward to this night! Have a great day!
