Share It Sunday Blog Hop - May 2024

Sunday 26 May 2024

It's time for another Share It Sunday Blog Hop! We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world and we are sharing our projects with you as part of this blog hop. There is no theme for our blog hop today.

I used the Country Birdhouses Bundle to create this pretty card for the Card Swap on the recent Stampin' Up! Incentive Trip to Mexico! I was so excited and humbled to have earned the trip last year and had such a fun time with other achievers from around the world. Did you know that less than 1% of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators earn the Incentive Trip each year?

Isn't this a pretty card! The bundle makes it easy to cut the pieces out and the Country Woods Designer Series Paper is the perfect accent for the birdhouse!

This is the suite that we are using for the upcoming Creativity Abounds Stamp Camp. You can register for the camp by purchasing the required product (or placing an order for an equivalent amount) before May 30th! Get the details here.
