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!

  • Misty Trees Beauty of Friendship card

    With each new catalog I always join several card swaps so I have lots of samples to share with my customers.  

    Here's one I created featuring the Beauty of Friendship Bundle. 

    Beauty of the Earth swap card Save

    The colors are the new In Colors of course; Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen.  The background stamping is made by stamping the trees several times without reinking. This gives you several hues/generations of ink which creates a misty, grouping of trees.  I love this effect with a 'naked' tree!  It reminds me of my Father-in-Law who loved naked trees.  

    Other details:

    • The greeting is stamped in Evening Evergreen ink on a 1" strip of our Vellum card stock.  I immediately heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.  Classic (or waterbase) ink does not dry quickly on vellum so you get colored, embossing easily. 
    • The vellum was cut long enough to wrap around the outside edge and adhere to the back side.
    • The dark tree was stamped in Evening Evergreen ink on White CS and die-cut with the Beautiful Trees dies.

    You can see this Beauty of Friendship bundle here.  It's just lovely and I think it's going to be super popular!

  • Pansy Petals cards kit to go; pretty & spring-like!

    The new Pansy Petals designer paper is so pretty it was easy to create beautiful, eye catching cards with it. 

    Pansy Petals all Save

    Here are a few reasons why I love this new Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper:

    • It has three different sheets of gingham; all in the new In Colors
    • There are full sheets filled with life-like pansies and pretty leaves
    • The pansy dies coordinate with these flowers and leaves!  No fussy cutting if you have them. 
    • It features each of the 5 beautiful, new In Colors!!  

    Anyway; this pre-cut kit to go is available through May May 18th.  There is also a pdf tutorial available.

    This kit includes the following:

    • 1/2 pkg of Pansy Petals DSP (6" X 12")
    • 2021-23 In Color jewels
    • Soft Succulent ribbon
    • 10 pre-cut cards; 3 of the 5 designs are fancy folds!
    • the PDF tutorial including measurements, photos, supply list & step by step directions

    The kit does not include pre-stamped images, adhesive or stamps. I used the Pansy Patch bundle for greetings and the dies to cut out the flowers & leaves from the DSP.  You can also fussy cut them if you choose to.   

    *This kit will likely be mailed in early June due to a back-order on the In Color jewels. 

    Go here to order the kit to go.

    Click here to purchase the PDF tutorial.

    The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after payment.
