Today I wanted to share some more of the fantastic swaps that I got on the Incentive trip. This swap was an optional part of the trip and we had a choice of cards or 3d. Today’s post again is all about the cards.
And there were lots who participated, the boards were so full that not everyone’s made it on to the board, mine included. But I’ve already shared my card with you on the 18th HERE along with the video and tutorial in case you wanted to see it.
On to the swaps… This first one is bright and cheerful and perfect for the event! Magenta Madness and the In the Tropics Dies (151495). Yep, no stamping just dies were used to create this card and the bright cheerful colors make it fun.
And check out this next card which uses strips of the 2021 In Colors.
Clever, right? the strips adhered to a Basic Black card stock piece and were then die cut using the Hippo & Friends Dies (153585). The sentiment is from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set (155385) and those fun little speckles from the Clear & Contour stamp set (154994).
Another bright and cheerful card using the exclusive Host Designer Series Paper, Pattern Party (Host 155426). It works perfectly with this bold stamp set, Biggest Wish (155052).
Our White 1/4″ Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon (151326) is perfect for this project since you can add color to the ribbon so easily! And inside is just as bright and fun, check it out.
The very popular Artistically Inked Suite is highlighted on this next card.
With all the gold foiling the Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper (155464) is sure to impress.
This next card uses the fun In Symmetry stamp set (155140), Sweet Symmetry Designer Series Paper (155605) and new Baker’s Twine Essential Pack (155475).
I love the way our Champagne Rhinestones (151193) pick up the colors on the card. And it’s a fun fold too.
My last swap that I wanted to share with you today is a Slim Line Card done in our 2021 In Colors.
They look so great together! The card was quick and easy since it uses the New Flowers & Leaves Punch (155373), Heart Punch Pack (151292) and the Banners Pick a Punch (153608).
Got a favorite swap that I shared with you today? Why not leave me a comment and let me know.
More Incentive Trip Highlights
I thought I’d share a few more pictures with you from the Incentive Trip. This first one is of the Maui Gold Pineapple Tour, our guide Ken was a lot of fun. I can’t tell you how sad I am that we’ve cut into our last Maui Gold pineapple. I’m trying to figure out how I can hide it from the family without feeling guilty! Ah, well I guess I’ll be sharing it is too good not to share.
These next few photos are of the Stampin’ Up! excursion – we chose snorkeling and were so glad we did. We had a lot of fun being on a catamaran for the first time and watching the sails go up. While I just love being on the water, Larry can struggle with it and experienced a bit of motion sickness.
While our cameras don’t do justice to the fish the snorkeling was fantastic and there was a lot of variety too.
We spent a lovely afternoon around the resort. Here are some more pictures of the resort – these views never get old. Early morning I think was my favorite with the pinks from the sun rise.
To end the day we enjoyed dinner with Sherrie and her husband Jeff at the Maui Brewery Co. It was nice catching up and that we got to meet each others spouses after knowing each other for years. (I always enjoy doing Sherrie’s Shoebox Swaps at our live events.)
I had the Coconut Shrimp Fried Rice Sherrie said the other demonstrators were raving about. It was soooo yummy!
Whew, so much food and I loved the presentation. If you’d like to see more of the photos that I took from the Incentive Trip stop by my facebook page and check them out.
Then stop back by next week when I’ll be sharing more cards & the 3d swaps with you.

Today’s cards all feature the Flower & Friendship Bundle (155590). This Bundle is a lot of fun to work with since it contains a punch, making it quick and easy! And who doesn’t love flowers?
This first card uses our Polished Pink and Soft Succulent to create a fun fold card.
The 2021 In Color Designer Series Paper (155641) was used for the flowers – simply stamped on the pattern and then punched out. A great way to add some interest quickly to an image like this
making this card bright and cheerful. The sentiment was cut out using the Layering Circle Dies (151770) and the fun little dragonfly was punched from Soft Succulent card stock using the Dragonflies Punch (154240). Don’t you love how our products coordinate?
This next card uses the fun patterns from the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper (Host 155426) and the Basic Borders Dies (155558).
Did you know that you can get this Designer Series Paper for free? It’s easy simply plan a party with me and be a Host or place a qualifying order.
During the special Host promotion that ends on June 14th you can not only earn this but also have an extra $25 added to your host benefits. Why not contact me today and set up a time for your party? Choose from a book party, facebook, or even an in person event today!
This final card uses our new Tailor Made Tag Dies (155563) to highlight the sentiment.
The Hand Penned Designer Series Paper peaks out from behind a wonderful sponged background and the little White Vellum shape has been cut out using our Painted Labels Dies (151605) for a bit more added dimension. Soft color that has an impact for this card.
Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing more swaps from Maui with you!

Today I thought I’d share some of the swaps that I received during the Maui Incentive Trip. It was a lot of fun seeing what everyone created and checking out the boards in the hospitality room.
These first cards all use the Hand Penned Petals Stamp set (155070) and the coordinating Penned Flowers Dies (155557) that are available in a bundle (155492) for 10% off. I really love the soft look of this first card.
If you love dies, then this card is right up your alley. It uses the NEW Stitched Greenery Die (155451) to create the backdrop. and the sentiment is on a shape from the Tasteful Labels Dies (152886). And if you don’t recognize it, the circle has been cut from our Hand Penned Designer Series Paper (155499). Just lovely.
And speaking of soft and lovely check out this next card using our Square Vellum Doilies (152484), it’s been teamed up with our Pool Party and Cinnamon Cider.
a bit of White Embossing Powder and Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack (155475) create interest and texture along with a pop of shimmer with the Genial Gems (155500) that are scattered around the focal point.
And how about this So Saffron and Misty Moonlight combination?
And for a bolder look, check out this next card.
Vellum was used again with the dies and our Stampin’ Blends give the flowers a bold pop of color.
And today here are a few more pictures for you of the Maui Incentive Trip. I couldn’t resist starting the day with the view and a cup of coffee.
Everything is decorated so lovely – including the breakfast tables. The flowers were breath taking.
Stampin’ Up! spoiled us with the hospitality room where we got to spin the wheel each day for prizes.
We had a full day planned away from the resort, so we spent the day at the local aquarium,
and ate lunch on the road in Wailuku since
we wanted to see Ioa Valley and hike a bit.
the views were breath taking. This was the Jurassic Park area of the island that you see in the movie.
And for our last stop we headed to Lahaina and a took a sunset dinner cruse which was wonderful even though Larry struggled a bit with the choppy water on the way out.
After a full day we returned back to the room to find another pillow gift on the bed. This time a matching straw bag filled with goodies! Including the upcoming July-December Catalog!!!
As you can imagine I perked up long enough to flip though it before falling into to bed. lol Don’t forget to stop on by my facebook page to see more pictures of the Maui Incentive Trip.

On a personal note: I’m still trying to readjust to the 6 hour time change after getting home late on Monday afternoon. I’ll be sharing some photos of things over the next week or so here and on my StampwithJini facebook page as I sort through things and catch up.
Today I thought I’d share a couple of them with you to start. Here we are ready to head to the airport, our little dog Chewie knowing that something was up. Little did we know that this would be our last time seeing her. We unexpectedly lost her on Sunday afternoon while getting ready to leave the resort. Here is one of my favorite photos of her.
Needless to say, our homecoming was a quiet one, but I’m thankful our son Johnathan was with her while we were away.
Needless to say we took hundreds of photos! Here we are getting ready to land. I think we saw a rainbow every day.
Maui was amazing and I feel so blessed to have been able to earn this trip. Stampin’ Up! definitely made it special! A fun pillow gift to start the trip.
The Grand Wailea was amazing with it’s views, gardens, and water features. Here is the view from our room.
And of course the sunsets!
Our first night of the Incentive trip we had a Carnival to welcome everyone with yummy little treats.
Thank you to each and everyone of you who have supported me and my Stampin’ Up! business! I truly appreciate you and the fact you allow me to share what I love with you! Without you I never would have earned this truly amazing trip!

If you are pink person you’re going to love Polished Pink with its deep hue.
I’ve got some Monochromatic cards for you today that are sure to please. This first card is not what you think of when you think pink – but it’s a great card showing off just how fun monochromatic cards can be. And the Polished Pink makes it perfect for giving a young lady as a graduation card.
The card uses our Friends are Like Seashells stamp set (158203) and Seashells 3D Embossing Folder (154309). The die cut image is from the Smooth Sailing Dies (149576). I just love how our products coordinate!

Today’s card uses one of the Suites from the Annual Catalog, It immediately drew my attention with it’s wonderful color pallet. After all I live in Georgia, so how could I resist a set great sentiments and images of peaches? We are the peach state after all.
I think you’re going to really like this Suite, so much so I’m going to be doing a class with it in August! I made today’s card for the Maui Incentive Trip card swap that I will be participating in this week. And really love the way it turned out using a simple sponging technique to create a two tone effect on the fruit and branches.

Today’s card are monochromatic cards that have been made using our NEW 2021-2023 In Color Evening Evergreen. Monochromatic cards are wonderful since they can use limited supplies and make an impact.
This first card was stamped with the Very Versailles stamp set (149275) found on page 101 of the Annual Catalog.
The sentiment was punched out using the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch (152883) and mounted on a piece of card stock. and the ribbon on the sentiment is our Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon (155573) that has been trimmed down so that just the solid edge has been used. More detail was added using the Detail Trio Punch (146320) and the Brilliant Wings Die (155523).
And how about the holidays? Here is a wonderful card that has been made using the Perfectly Plaid stamp set (158335) and Pine Tree Punch (149521).
The Treasured Tags Pick a Punch (154425) was used to punch out the sentiment and of course that Open Weave Ribbon (155573) was used as a band of color behind the sentiment. Recognize the Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing folder(153576) in the background? Such a great folder that is easy to sponge so that all the detail pops!
So what do you think of our newest In Color, Early Evergreen? I love that this years In Colors come with total coordination – Ink, Card stock, Stampin’ Blends, Ribbon, and even Jewels.
