Achievers Blog Hop – March 2023

 

Our Stampin’ Up! Incentive Trip Achievers get together each month for a Blog Hop! I’m blessed with great customers and downline who helped me achieve last year’s Incentive Trip on a Norway Cruise that we will be taking this upcoming May!  I’m joining the top 1% of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators who have earned this reward.  Our blog hop theme this month is ANYTHING CURRENT!

IRRESISTIBLE BLOOMS

I’m excited that every few months, Stampin’ Up! will release some Online Exclusives!  The Irresistible Blooms Bundle is one of those exclusives!  They will not be in any of the catalogs, but make sure to check them out online.

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Shaded Spruce cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock.
• From the Flowers & More Designer Paper, two polka dot prints were cut 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 and two flower prints were cut 1-1/2 x 3-1/4.  They were added towards the right side of the Basic White cardstock layer.
• A 1 x 4 strip of Polished Pink cardstock was layered across the front.
• The smaller flower from Irresistible Blooms stamp set was stamped on Basic White cardstock with Polished Pink Ink, then watercolored with Polished Pink Ink using a Water Painter.  The two leaves cluster was stamped on Basic White cardstock with Shaded Spruce Ink and watercolored with Shaded Spruce Ink using a Water Painter.  They were cut with the Irresistible Blooms Dies and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Hello from Irresistible Blooms stamp set was stamped with Shaded Spruce Ink and hand-cut around the letters.  It was added with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The In Color Opal Rounds were added to the center of the flower and along one side for a little bling.
