June 2021 Maui Achievers Blog Hop

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 both Maui trips that were held in May 2021!  Stampin’ Up! thoroughly spoiled us…we had an AWESOME time!  Our theme this month is ANYTHING CURRENT!

SWEET FAREWELL STAMP SET

I just recently ordered this stamp set, Sweet Farewell, and think it is SO cute!  It is fun to use a stamp set that I normally wouldn’t buy and then realize that I actually love it!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Coastal Cabana cardstock was added to the front.
  • On top, the 2-1/2 x 5-1/4 piece of Pattern Party Designer Paper was added to the bottom.  (This is a HOST only DSP…and there are a TON of sheets in it!)
  • The reverse side had the black polka dot, so I used a 1/2 x 5-1/4 across the top of the DSP to hide the seam.
  • The greeting was stamped with Memento Black Ink.
  • I cut the largest Tailor Made Tag down by cutting it shorter with the same die.  The camera was stamped with Memento Black and colored with Light & Dark Gray Granite and Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends.  I added the tag to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon was tied in a bow and added to the tag with Mini Glue Dots.
  • It needed just a little something, so I used the Dark Gray Granite Blends and tapped it again my ruler to get speckles of ink across the front of the card.
  • Finally, a pink In Color Jewel was added to the camera for a little bling.

Isn’t that SO cheery and bright…and so fun!  If you need any supplies to recreate this project, I’ll be happy to place the order for you in the United States, or click here to go to my Online Store!  This month, please use my current Host code for orders under $150. $150 or more, keep the host rewards for yourself!

HYDRANGEA HAVEN

My girlfriend has a special birthday milestone this year and I wanted to make her a special card!  I love Hydrangeas and I’m pretty sure she does, too, so I grabbed my Hydrangea Haven Bundle to make her card.

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Highland Heather cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was put on top.
  • I cut some unique shaped pieces of Hydrangea Hill Designer Paper for the background and left space to place some Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon thru the center diagonally.
  • The Stitched So Sweetly rectangles were cut from Highland Heather and Basic White cardstock and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The hydrangea was stamped with Memento Black and the blossom fill with Highland Heather Ink.  The small blossom fill was stamped over top with Seaside Spray Ink to give it a two-tone look.  The stem and leaves fill were stamped with Old Olive Ink.  It was cut with the Hydrangea Dies and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The greeting was stamped with Gorgeous Grape Ink on 3/4 x 3 piece of Basic White cardstock and the end cut at an angle.
  • A trio of Pastel Pearls were added in the background.

I just love how this turned out…especially the background designer paper on here!

PRIZE PEONY BUNDLE

I love peonies and the Prized Peony images AND the layered interactive Peony Dies are SO realistic.  Both make it easy to create beautiful cards!  I used just the Peony dies on this one!  But stop back, I’ve used this bundle MANY times so far and will be showing them on my blog!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Magenta Madness cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The 3-3/4 x 4 piece of  Peony Garden DSP was altered slightly with a little Stampin’ Blends magic!  I used the natural lines of the chevron print and the Light Basic Black Stampin’ Blends marker, along with a ruler, to draw the more predominant lines on the DSP!  It give me the stripe I wanted!
  • The DSP was added to the 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White cardstock.
  • The Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon was added across the front and secured in the back to hide the seam, then added to the front of the card.
  • The Square Vellum Doily was turned as a diamond and adhered to the DSP.
  • The petals of the Peony were cut with the Peony Dies from Whisper White cardstock, then the edges were sponged with Magenta Madness Ink.  They were layered together (they are interactive and SO easy!), the adhered to the front.
  • The center was cut with the die from Daffodil Delight cardstock.
  • The leaves were cut from Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz cardstock, then sponged with Pear Pizzazz Ink.  They were tucked under the flower.
  • The greeting from Prized Peony was stamped with Memento Black Ink.
  • Two Magenta Madness In Color Enamel Dots were added to the top.

Isn’t that LOVELY?  I can’t believe how easy they diecuts are to put together!  If you need any supplies to recreate this project, I’ll be happy to place the order for you in the United States, or click here to go to my Online Store!  This month, please use my current Host code for orders under $150. $150 or more, keep the host rewards for yourself!
