Butterfly Smooshing Easel Cards and Onstage 2025 Swaps

I was so excited to attend the 2025 Stampin' Up!® Onstage event recently. Onstage is an annual event where we get to see the upcoming New Annual Catalogue, new product demonstrations, play with new products, receive Prize Patrols (new product gifts), learn about what's happening in Stampin' Up!®, enjoy a Welcome Party, additional evening crafting event and catch up with our Stampin' Up!® friends while also meeting new friends. It is three days of amazing crafty fun!

As part of Onstage, one of the fun things we can participate in is Swaps. A Swap is when you create a project, making multiples to then swap with other Demonstrators. It's a fun way of receiving lots of creating inspiration and ideas. See my showcase video below.

These are the cards I created for my Onstage Swaps. I used the same products to create my card in different colours to make an easel pop-up card. It was fun playing with Stampin' Write Markers and a Water Spritzer to create the Smooshing Technique on the front panel, as no two cards were the same. 

I used the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set with Basic Gray ink to stamp the butterflies and sentiments and mounted up the insert sentiment to create the easel.

This card below is my favourite colour combination and the one I chose to keep. You can my card and how I created the smooshing in my video below.
