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.

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:

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!

  • Modern Christmas Triple-Z card with video & free project sheet

    First; I’ll let you know I still have several Mystery Boxes left. Don’t miss the opportunity to get over $200 in free products! See the details here.

    I shared this super neat card on last week’s video. I love this fold! It looks like work but it’s so easy!

    Save

    Isn’t it fabulous?! I found several others online and had to try it. I chose to feature the Modern Christmas suite seen here.

    The scored lines to create this fold are simply 1″ & 3″ for both the card base and the 3 strips. Watch the video below to see how it’s put together.

    The main image of trees is stamped on the die-cut from Branching Out. See these dies here; they coordinate with the stamp set but stand alone too. The greeting is from the Traditional Labels bundle seen here. I cut a second die-cut in Gold and split it apart across the middle so it shows.

    Here’s how I stamped the back side:

    Save

    The trees & greetings are from the Ornamental Christmas bundle seen here. I love the playful style of the stamp set.

    The card bekiw is the card I made during the video. I changed it up a bit.

    Save

    The beautiful gold & black paper (and the above trees DSP) is from the Modern Christmas DSP seen here. It’s so elegant and fits with the star die-cut from the Modern Christmas bundle quite well. The circle die-cut is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.

    Save

    I created a free project sheet for these cards. Click here to print or download it. I do recommend you create a file for project sheets or card ideas. It’s so handy to access it quickly.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and another as well. Both feature this beautiful Modern Christmas suite. I’ll share the other card tomorrow.

  • Two more of my favorite kits. There are still Mystery Boxes left!

    My mystery boxes are selling well; be sure to grab yours while there are some left. *see below

    I wanted to share two more of my favorite kits from our Kit Collection seen here.

    First is a thank you kit called ‘Thank You Kindly’. It’s an elegant set of cards that are both special & easy to make.

    Save

    They’re mostly white with gold foil accents & that stunning black pre-printed greeting. This is a non-stamping kit. It’s currently in low inventory so it will likely sell out soon. It’s just $14 and can be seen here.

    Save

    Next is the gorgeous Harvest Home Garland that can also be made into a wreath. It would be great for your Thanksgiving table or used as a wreath.

    Save

    It took me about 1 1/2 hours to make mine. I even added some sponging/blending to the paper leaves (which wasn’t in the directions. It have everything you need except hot glue – recommended to attach the leaves to the rope. It’s so pretty and I love the non-traditional colors that still have an autumn look. See it in the store here.

  • Gorgeous new kits available but look at these too!

    Each month Stampin’ Up! releases 2 new kits in our Kit Collection online. I’ll share both here with you. I expect these to sell out quickly. They will be re-ordered but then you have to wait!

    First is the Adventure Awaits kit. Retro cards with fun retro vehicles! It’s always great to have cards on hand for the guys too right?

    Save

    It includes 9 cards with envelopes with vellum ‘windows’. The greetings are pre-printed for easy creating.
    The kit is just $14. Click here to see it.

    Next is the Everyday Beauty kit. Gorgeous with gold foil accents.

    Save

    This one is also 9 cards but it includes a stamp set, block and ink pad too. It’s $25 and can be seen here.

    I had a chance to play with some of my kits from the Kit Collection this weekend and fell in love with this kit! The photo SU shared does not do it justice!

    Save

    See what I mean? Absolutely stunning cards and so easy as the greetings are printed. Remember that our kits are all inclusive; the only think you need is a scissors.
    This is the Brighten Your Day kit and can be seen here. Here are each set of cards shown separately.

    Which of these beauties is your favorite?

    Save

    I absolutely love having a kit or three handy for when I just want to create and not think or plan. We have over 20 available right now and they change monthly. These make wonderful gifts since they are all inclusive.
