Sneak Peek Betsy's Blossoms

 This Anniversary card was made for a dear friend who celebrates her 50th Anniversary this week.  Plus, it's another Betsy's Blossoms Sneak Peek.  That's just one thing that I love about being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator-Sneak Peeks.  We get to touch, feel and play with brand new Stampin' Up! products before everyone.  Love it, Love it, Love it!

Craft Coordination Blitz

Coordination takes the guess work out of making a beautiful project. The Betsy's Blossoms stamp set coordinates perfectly with Floral District Designer Paper.  And the matching Betsy's Blooms wheel adds a finishing touch to our envelope.

 Ribbon Flower Tips

• Gather along edge of Ribbon and pull, gathering into a "flower" circle shape.
• Try adding a ribbon petal too
• Stitch in a Designer Button with Baker's Twine
• Side Note-the lovely Striped and Satin Ribbons are Retiring and are only available through May 31 or while supplies last.

 The number 50 was cut with the Alphabet Simple Numbers dies (Retiring) and Brushed Gold Card Stock to celebrate 50 years of marriage.

Pretty Card by The Ink-spirations Team Members

Toni Arnold shared a Bold and Bright Berry Blossoms Card.  Colors include Wisteria Wonder, Pear Pizzazz and Calypso Coral.  Her Fun flower was sponged for a delightful effect.  Weave in a bit of texture with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  Thanks for sharing, Toni.

Lori Ballitch shared a lovely vintage card jam packed with details.  She crafted a lovely 3-D nest using Hemp Twine.  Her Basic Pearls make lovely eggs.  The Young Vermillion (Retiring 124092)  is happily perch on her lovely card.  Notice how all the crumpling and sponging adds depth to her card.  Thanks for sharing, Lori.

Send a Classy Card

Delicate & Sweet Blessings from Heaven Card

Stamped with the Stampin' Up! Have a Seat stamp set (retiring), this card whispers a blessing as it flutters by. I will miss this classy set.  It makes simple yet, elegant cards. Let's look at the details.

Robin's Paper Craft Tips

Stamp your sentiment with the Blessings from Heaven stamp set and Marina Mist ink then punch with the 1-3/4" Circle Punch.

Accents are a Crumb Cake "Beautiful Wings" Butterfly and a Neutrals Collection Designer Button threaded with Linen Thread.  Apply with a Mini Glue Dot.

You may have noticed that the Marina Mist sentiment is darker than the chair. That's because the chair was "stamped off" to match the pastels of the the other chairs.

Stamping Off is a technique that is just what it sounds like.  First stamp the image on a scrap pad, then stamp your image for your project.

The companion chairs were stamped with Pink Pirouette and So Saffron ink, then punched with the Decorative Label Punch.

Both the card background and the envelope flap were dry embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder for a designer look.

Other Supplies

• Tasteful Trim Bigz xL die
• Beau Chateau Designer Paper (retiring)
• Crumb Cake Seam Binding

What's not to love about Stampin' Up! Incentive Trips?

We started our day on an African Safari

Then enjoyed a wild roller coaster ride through Mount Everest and soaker ride through Kali River Rapids.

We were part of the Cairo set at the Indiana Stunt Show where we were treated to an amazing dinner, fellowship and had action packed pictures taken.

Mickey and Minnie stopped by for this hot event too

Just when we thought that our evening was complete, we arrived back at our room to find this lovely gift wrapped package

We found a commemorative Thomas Kincaid Canvas inside.
