A Fun Fold card with the Changing Leaves hybrid embossing folder; video too!

Here's the last card in the group of three I shared in last week's live video. I featured the Changing Leaves bundle from the Online Extras.

My colors include Basic Beige and Mossy Meadow with a tiny bit of white and Pretty Peacock added. That beautiful circle die-cut is the largest in the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. 

The Changing Leaves bundle includes the stamp set, dies and hybrid embossing folder.  You might wonder what a 'hybrid' embossing folder is? It's a folder that has a coordinating die that works 'inside' the folder.  It cuts and embosses at the same time.  Genius!   Confused on how this works? Watch the video here to see.

I cut out all three leaves from the large leaf die at once and each card featured a different leaf. I thought I was smart to design my swap cards this way and save time too.

Two cards feature a diagonal design but they're all quite different. Each one includes Mossy Meadow & Basic Beige cardstock though.

Watch the video below to see how the Changing Leaves bundle with the Hybrid embossing folder works. You'll also see multiple techniques too!

  • Exploring In Color cards & envelopes & the Paper Pumpkin refill – both while supplies last!

    May's Paper Pumpkin kit was amazing!  It featured our newest In Colors in fabulous scenic themed cards. Here is an alternative card I made with this kit:

    Exploring In Color Save

    I cut one of the card bases into three strips and adhered them onto a Boho Blue card base (5 1/2" X 8 1/2", scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4").  Each printed piece is 1 7/8" X 5 1/4". The White inside is 2" X 5 1/4".  The greeting, binoculars & pretty label piece are from the kit.  I added a 3/4" strip of Boho Blue CS under it. 

    **Each month my Paper Pumpkin customers receive a big bunch of alternative ideas!  

    You can't get the full kit anymore; the cut off date was May 10th.  But the refill is still available here.  Here's what you get:

    Continuing on from my post yesterday where I shared photos of our visit to London and some from the Norway cruise…..I thought you'd like to see some photos of the hospitality suite on the ship. We were on the Anthem of the Seas, a Royal Caribbean's ship.  

    Norway guide Save

    We were invited to stop in each day to spin for a prize.  Prized were SU logo items like mugs, towels etc.  

    Norway hospitality room Save

    They had lots of goodies for us to enjoy each day.  Jars & jars of candy & treats many of them unique to us as they were from the UK.

    In the hospitality suite they displayed our swap cards, had games & chairs for us to hang out to visit our friends.

    We are treated royally by Stampin' Up! but honestly the best things about the trip were time to relax and also spending time with new and old friends we've made over the years.

    To stay within direct sales compliance I need to add that earning the incentive trip is not typical for Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. Fewer than 1% of demonstrators actually achieve this extraordinary result. I appreciate my customers and team members that make this possible for me each year!

  • Trip photos of London & Norway

    I thought I'd share a few photos of our trip to London and the Norway cruise we just returned from.  The cruise was this year's Incentive trip courtesy of Stampin' Up!  There were over 300 achievers on this trip: I am so proud to be one of them! To stay within direct sales compliance I need to add that this milestone is not typical for Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. Fewer than 1% of demonstrators actually achieve this extraordinary result.

    We spent a few days in London before starting the cruise to Norway.  

    The first day we did a food tour in Soho, London. We love doing food tours – besides tasting local favorites we learn a lot about the area from our guide.  I highly recommend doing one when traveling.  

    This is Chinatown in London. 

    London Chinatown Save

    We had a steamed bun filled with barbecue pork inside.  It was really tasty and so unusual!

    Our last stop was for desert.  These are lemon twists from a local patisserie.  The outside is white chocolate. So delicate and yummy.

    Below is a huge tiled wall of the history of Soho where we toured.

    The next day we did a personal tour of London where our driver took us anywhere we wanted to go.  My friend Dawn Olchefske and our husbands enjoyed a relaxing drive all over the city.  Below is Big Ben.

    This is our driver, David.  He let me sit in his black cab for a photo.  The steering wheel was on the right!

    One of our favorite things was a gondola ride in Olden, Norway.

    I am not a fan of heights but for some reason this didn't bother me. We traveled up the mountain over 1000 feet in just 5 minutes!  Here's a view of us at the top: 

    Norway Olden Save

    This was one of the many, many waterfalls we saw while cruising the fjords in Norway.  It was amazingly beautiful! 

    Norway waterfall Save

    We had a wonderful time on this trip – seeing the sights, visiting with our friends & being pampered! We are very glad to be back home.  But we miss the food we didn't have to cook ourselves and the room steward who cleans our room each day!

    Back to reality!
