Incentive Trip Swaps

I thought that you might like to see all the cards that were swapped by Stampin' Up! demonstrators on the Norway Cruise incentive trip that ended on Sunday.  As you know I earned the trip (thanks to all of you) but we couldn't go because Alan has been 'under the weather'.  I had signed up to swap but, of course, didn't.  The wonderful video was done by Stampin' Up! demonstrator Irene Wendlandt from Germany.

 

                                                            

Stampin' Up! requires that we include this statement ~ less than 1% of demonstrators earn this incentive trip.

Tuesday Project Sheet ~ Opps-a-Daisy!

You can find the FRESH AS A DAISY SUITE on page 110-111 in the annual catalog.  I know you may have daisy stamps from previous catalogs in your collection.  I think what makes this one different is the set of dies (page 156).  There are 14 different dies which layer easily for a 3D effect.  There are four sentiments ~ the one I like best is "Opps-a-Daisy ~ so sorry"!

If you were at the Cat/Art Studio Open House on Saturday, and you completed the 2023-24 SCAVENGER HUNT you've probably been waiting to see who the prize winners are.  Right?  And, the prizes (2) are the FOREVER FRIENDS CARD KIT.  And, the winners are Tammy Poole and Dena Cooper!  Congratulations!  Thank you everyone who came to the Open House ~ it was such a fun day!

Memorial Day

 

What a fun stampin' party!

Below you will see the three cards from yesterday's stampin' party/open house in the Cat/Art Studio.  Everyone made all three.  The first one is using a stamp set, INKED & TILED, on page 95 AC.  We used three of the new IN COLORS ~ Moody Mauve, Boho Blue and Wild Wheat.  I still need two more stampers to join my IN COLOR CLUB ~ let me know if you are interested in the best way to get all of these color products in an easy peasy way!

The second card is from the BRIGHT & BEAUTIFUL SUITE on page 14 AC.  Here is the PROJECT SHEET if you would like to make this celebration card.

The third card uses my stamp set, SEASIDE BAY, on page 101 in the catalog.  I am so proud to have my name on the stamp set and in the catalog.  I celebrate each time I use it.  It is so nice of Stampin' Up! to recognize the million dollar achievers in this way! 

Stampin' Up! = a great craft company!!!
