• Back from Disney World – the 2024 Stampin’ Up! incentive trip

  May 19, 2025

  ---

  We had a wonderful time on the Stampin' Up! annual incentive trip to Disney World.  We got home late last night and even though we hoped to have a restful trip we were quite exhausted. These North Dakotans were not ready for 96 degree heat!  

  I'll share a few of our favorite photos today and more of Stampin' Up! products tomorrow. 

  This is what we saw on the TV screen when we arrived to our room:

  Below is the view from our room in the Grand Floridian Resort at Disney World:

  This basket was found in our room at the end of the first night there.  A super neat felt basket (that folded flat) filled with some of our favorite snacks & beverages (a survey was sent to us last fall).

  The beautiful nightly fireworks we could see from our resort. We spent many evenings at the outdoor cafe visiting with our friends and enjoying them.

  I had to get a picture with Sara (SU CEO) with the paper chain background!

  Our friends, Dan & Lori Heiling, Susie & Deke Wood and us at Hollywood Studios.

• Fantastic Team swaps with Botanical Textures suite

  May 16, 2025

  ---

  Today I have three fantastic swaps made by my Flowerbug's Team; all featuring the Botanical Textures suite from our online store.  Did you know we have a huge selection of items that are not seen in any printed catalog?  They're called Online Exclusives and you can see them all here.  

  This first card was made by Kim for her Card Club swap.  I had to share it with you because I thought it was so neat.  She used Black, White and Lemon Lime Twist. 

  Save

  Her stamped images are from the Textured Notes stamp set.  The cute hexagon gems are new and seen in our 2025-26 Annual Catalog.  

  Next is a fabulous fancy fold card made by Rita. She also used this same Botanical Textures DSP along with Petunia Pop card stock. 

  Save

  She used the Bright Borders stamp set and the To the Point punch. This punch has been out of stock for months!  I hope it comes back soon.  It is expected around June 2nd. 

  Here's the view when it's open: 

  Save

  The card base is 11" X 5 1/2".  It's scored at 1 3/4", 3 1/2", 5 1/4" & 7".  Then it's trimmed horizontally at 1" from the upper and lower edges but only from the 1 3/4" and 5 1/4" score lines. 

  The DSP is 6 3/4" X 5 1/4".  

  It looks like she adhered the DSP and then cut the slits open with a paper trimmer.  So cool!  No difficulty measuring your layers  when you do it this way. 

  ~~~

  Lastly today is Ginny's card made with the Woven Textures DSP and the Textured Notes bundle.  I love these products; one of my favorites from the online store!

  Save

  Her colors include Early Espresso and Crumb Cake.  She used five different dies from the Textured Notes dies!  I especially like the frame in the center, highlighting that pretty DSP.  

  Below is the inside view stamped with textural images from the Textured Notes stamp set.
