Shabby Chic Lovely & Sweet card with video tutorial & free project sheet!

Here's the last card made in last week's video featuring the Nature's Sweetness suite. I absolutely love this color palette! 

Lovely & Sweet Pecan Pie Save

It's Pecan Pie with Pebbled Path & Gold accents with a rich monotone look. Look closely at the layout. It's basically a few random layers with only one that's layered.  Adding a few smaller elements creates the balance here. 

Details & tips:

  • Note the distressed edges on a few of the layers. That is done by rubbing your open scissor blade over the edge of the paper.  Fast and fabulous results! *watch how I do it in the video below.
  • The large stamped Pecan Pie layer and the DSP square are both sponged with Pecan Pie ink to age them a bit. 
  • That butterfly is one of our Paper Butterfly Accents colored with a Light Natural Tones blends marker. I added some Gold Enamel Effects in streaks all over it. *see how in the video
  • I added Gold Enamel Effects as berries on the tall leaf die-cut on the left. 

Here's how I stamped the inside.  The greeting is from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set from Sale-a-Bration.

    Remember that purchasing the starter kit does not mean you have to hold classes or 'sell' Stampin' Up! products.  It just means you want the 20% discount on your purchases.  You can be any sort of Demonstrator you want – enjoy the discount only or hold events, or turn it into a business.  YOU are in charge and whatever you choose to do is just fine with me and Stampin' Up!.

    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.

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

    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.

    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!

    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!
