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: 


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!

  • Limited Quantity of Mix & Match Box & Cards; a perfect gift!


    I have created many versions of this box & cards because I love it so much!  This first one features the True Love designer paper: 

    It's a perfect gift for anyone as they can mix and match the sentiments in the box to the occasion they need.  They'll remove the dimensional backing and add the tag to the card.

    You can choose between this kit to go here or the PDF Tutorial here.  The kit includes all pre-cut supplies needed to make this project; Designer Paper patterns may vary.  

    There's a second option featuring the Paper Blooms designer paper.  The Tutorial includes directions and photos for both plus extras from the past few years.  Click here to get this kit. 

    **You'll receive the PDF tutorial immediately upon payment via email.

    The kit includes the following:

    • Box supplies; cut & scored
    • 5-6 pre-cut cards
    • Tags; punched and ready for stamping
    • Designer paper, die-cuts and ribbon to decorate your box (DSP patterns may vary from photo)

    It does not include Dimensionals, stamping, sponges, markers, embellishments or adhesives.  

    I used the Many Mates stamp set but any greeting set will work.  You'll need Night of Navy or Black ink depending on which kit you choose.

  • Two projects with the brand new Color & Contour bundle!!


    I created these cards when I was working on some card swaps I participated in.  I like to create a bunch of cards and then decide which one's to use and mail out.  

    I chose the Color & Contour bundle because it's full of wonderful dies perfect for the pretty floral image in the stamp set. And I'm glad it's a 2-step stamp set. 

    For this first card I chose the Pale Papaya In Color and accented it with Black. 

    Can you spy all of the new products I used?  There are 5 if you count everything.  

    1. The Scalloped Contour dies – the pretty Black scalloped border and the main scalloped rectangle; all in the same bundle. 
    2. Color & Contour stamp set (included in the bundle at 10% off).  I stamped the background with a daisy stamp in the set 
    3. Pale Papaya ink and card stock
    4. Pale Papaya & White ribbon
    5. Genial Gems (the package includes Pale Papaya & Mint Macaron)

    ~~~~

    Next is a card I did end up using for an online swap. The colors here are Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent. 

    Look at the new Gingham paper!  It's included in the Pansy Petals 12" designer series paper pack.  Look at the gorgeous ribbon!  It's so soft & pretty and available in all of our new In Colors. 

    I also used another new dies set called Tailor Made Tags for the greeting.  It has 4 sizes of tags in two styles along with reinforcements for the holes.  I cannot wait for you all to have the new Annual Catalog in your hands!!  

    If you want to get your hands on the new Annual Catalog products early you can add any of these items to your Starter Kit seen here.  Our Starter Kit is always 20% off; you get $125 in product for just $99 and free shipping as well!

  • Three neat cards with the Dragonfly Garden bundle including a Faux shaker & Fun-Fold card


    I have a few special cards to share today.  They look difficult or 'fancy' but aren't.  At the end of this post is the video where I share how to make them.  Scroll down to see it or click here.

    This first card is a fun fold that opens in a unique way.  

    It's made of two folded pieces of card stock and a few circle dies.  The punched dragonflies are directly from the Dandy Garden DSP.  I didn't stamp them since they match the Dragonflies punch perfectly!

    I posted the measurements in the photo for you.  I try to share them on my FB Live's so people can take screen shots. 

    This next card is a 'Faux Shaker' card.  I use one of Stampin' Up!'s clear envelopes to create a pocket of fun that I add to my card front. They are so addictive to shake & rattle!  Watch how in the video below; it's surprisingly easy to make!  

    This last card was made to highlight the beautiful but seldom seen Dandelions 3D embossing folder.  It's so pretty and wonderfully detailed.  Great for simple but elegant cards as you can see here.  

    This card was made using Purple Posy card stock which is retiring this month. So sad to see it go!  But we are getting a new purple/pink color in the 2021 new catalog called Fresh Freesia that I know we'll love. 

    Here's the video; I hope you watch it!
