Alaska Achievers Blog Hop - Showcasing New Annual Catalogue


Welcome back for another Alaska Achievers Monthly Blog Hop with fellow Demonstrators globally, who have also earned the prestigious Stampin' Up! Incentive Trip, that only a limited number around the world achieve.

We really are starting to count down the number of weeks (and days) before we leave on this special trip.  

I'm busy working hard to create some little cards to give to people I hope will make our holiday a special experience.

Time has really not been on my side this week and so I'm sharing these cute little 7cm mini cards, created in the FIVE New in-Colours for 2018-2020.

These cards were CASED from fellow Demonstrator Ronda Wade on one of her Demo Team Training classes.  These were so cute, I changed the measurements to fit our UK size A4 card, so they ended up 7cm square.  Enabling SIX bases from one sheet of cards and still fitting inside Stampin' Up! mini square envelopes and then into a pizza box as a gift.
This is a cute little set but I am making into Random Act of Kindness cards and appreciation cards.

Lovely Lipstick

Pineapple Punch
Call Me Clover
Blueberry Bushell
Grapefruit Grove



These colours weren't my favourite when I first saw them, however playing with them they are definitely growing on me and I look forward to using them over the next few weeks, as I prepare for my trip.

I hope you have enjoyed your hop today and will continue hopping round the globe viewing all the other talented Demonstrators creations.


Here is the list of todays participants :-

Friends of SUBA - June Blog Hop

Hi and welcome to today's Blog Hop with Friends of SUBA, Simply Unique Business Angels, featuring a Masculine theme.

I'm busy writing checklists for my fabulous holiday coming up this summer.  This journey is our bucket list destination, earning my very first Stampin' Up! Incentive Trip on an Alaskan Cruise.  To say I'm excited is an understatement !

Something I am planning to do is to give away Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) cards to people I meet along the way, who give a great service or have helped us in some way.  Staff at the various airports, hotels and cruise ship might receive one of my little Thank You cards, pre-written and ready to hand over, when I think someone has 'gone the extra mile'.

For todays 'hop' I decided to share some for the 'men' that I hope will make our holiday of a lifetime, a great experience.  In order to distinguish whether card is a male or female theme, I am have decorated the envelope to coordinated with the colourings of the card inside.
The Thank You Thinlits Die #146832 was one of the first items to be added to my Wishlist.  I love the Happy Birthday one and knew this would be equally as useful. 
I have used the Nature's Poem Designer Series Paper #146338 on all of these cards.
Stampin' Up! make it so much easier to have beautifully created cards with their Designer Series Papers coordinating with cardstock colours.  Adding packs of cardstock in three of the most prominent colours within the DSP pack is even better.

Adding a little texture today, is the beautiful Subtle Textured Embossing Folder #143706.  I totally missed this in the catalogue until someone pointed it out, featured at the bottom right corner on page p21 in the new Annual Catalogue.
Each Thank You Diecut image was embossed with this texture.  Here is a close up for you to see in more detail ……
Be sure that these two Big Shot products will be appearing again later this week, when I share some of the cards I'm creating for the ladies who I'm hoping will give us a great holiday experience.

I hope you have enjoyed the projects I've shared with you today and hope to see you back again soon.

Here is the full list of those 'hopping' today, so you can be sure to visit everyone and see the wonderful projects being shared by my fellow Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrators.  Click on the arrow below to take you to Carrie's blog.

SDBH June - Birthday Theme Blog Hop


Welcome to the monthly Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop. This month's theme is Birthdays. You are currently visiting Sandra from Norfolk, UK.  I hope you enjoy my project/cards.

When time permits in the busy lives we all lead, I'm still enjoying playing with lots of 'new' crafting goodies from the 2018-20 Annual Catalogue.  This is another of my recent additions, Pop of Petals, available as a bundle #148384 (W) #148385 (C).

The base card is my favourite returning colour, Blackberry Bliss, matted with a brand new colour, Petal Pink.  

The flowers have been stamped in Petal Pink ink and again in Blackberry Bliss, with these centres being 'fussy cut' by hand and raised in the centre.

The sentiment is from another new set Itty Bitty Greetings #146664 (W) #146667 (C).

Thank you for stopping by today, I hope you have enjoyed all the inspiration so far.  Please continue along our 'hop' by clicking the next person on the list to see what lovely creations she has to share with you.

I hope the projects you've seen here on my blog today have inspired you & brightened your day. You are currently visiting Sandra so to continue along your hop, click to the next person on the list to see all our projects. You won't want to miss any!
