Black and White Tropical Escape Card

in Cardmaking, Creativity on 07/19/18

Have you seen the Tropical Escape Suite from the annual catalogue?  I must say when I received my catalogue, it’s the first collection that I added on my wish list! The stamp set is perfect for birthdays, thank you cards, or any other greeting! It’s also perfect for scrapbooking, preserving memories of the special trips you’ ve made! My cards today are inspired by Stampin’up!’s incentive trip to Alaska! I wanted to make something elegant and useful all year long for the organized swaps. I made 26 cards and will get back 25 cards from demonstrators from  all across the globe.

 One of the highlights for this years  trip is meeting a couple of demonstrators from the Artisan Design Team! Half of the Artisan Year has gone by and I feel I know these ladies so well just by chatting online.  To get the opportunity to see them in person will be a blessing!

I can’t believe how Stampin’up! has given me so many amazing opportunities. Thinking back, I only joined for the discount, to save on the products I love and here I am on my way to my 4th incentive trip.  So my advise to you, wherever you are: don’t be scared to join! You never know where this might take you! There’s a place for everyone at Stampin’up! From hobbiest to top demonstrator in your country. Receiving 165$ of products for only 135$ with no tax and no shipping plus a bonus gift in July of 10 FREE Ink pads is amazing. If you are from Canada, I would love for you to join my team:) if you are from another country, let me help you find a demonstrator! These past 12 years have been so rewarding to me, life changing and I’ve had amazing support from my demonstrator friends and customers when life got rough  and I’m hoping the next 12 will be even better.

Get this amazing starter kit deal, see below:

Stampin’ Pad Family Recruiting Promotion: New recruits will receive a FREE assortment of Classic Stampin’ Pads of their choosing with their Starter Kit!

This little bag is the perfect mix of cute and creative.  Just look at what you can do with a few dies, some patterned paper and a bit of imagination. It’s so easy to make, and it’s great for treats and gift cards.
