It’s *FINALLY TIME* and hopefully I’m sitting on the beach as you read this! One of the last things I did to prepare for the Stampin’ Up! Incentive Trip was to create swaps, and thought you might like to see my card:

I used the Leaf Collection stamp we received as an all-attendee giveaway at OnStage last month to emboss a Shaded Spruce and Pretty Peacock background onto Shy Shamrock card stock. The stamp arrives on WEDNESDAY, May 1st in my Stampin’ Store! The ink stayed wet just long enough to cover it in clear embossing powder:

See that new color on the card base? It’s called “Basic Beige”

I added the sentiment in the Hexagon punch and a few leaves and sprigs using the Bough Punch and a sweet bow (if I made it, it probably has ribbon on it).

Looking forward to sharing more about our Mex-capade…when I have the time! And because I’m supposed to say this about earning the Incentive trip: “Results are not typical. Fewer than 1% of Demonstrators world-wide achieve this reward”

THANK YOU for your support and orders from my Stampin’ Store. I hope the value, teaching, and service offered to my friends & customers is equal to my deepest heart-felt appreciation!
