Maui StampinUP Incentive Trip 2021 (part 5)-- A Few People Pics.....

 

Our group from the tour "Hike Maui".  We had a challenging hike in the mud & rain during our Waterfall & Rainforest excursion.  (I know I posted this picture the other day, but thought I would show it one more time).  


Myself and Bonnie on the trail.  Beautiful waterfall in the background of course.


Taken on the beach the day after I got the sun hat as a pillow gift.  It was windy that day, so the hat did not stay on long!


Nice picture of Bonnie taken at the luau our last night on Maui.  It was a fabulous meal, show, and sunset all combined!!  I miss the island already  :  (


Thank you for blogging by and following along with all my StampinUP Incentive Trip pictures!!  I appreciate you all.  LORI

 The little strip of designer paper on the left comes from a retired paper pack.  The same stamp set was used on this creation.  In addition to that, I used the following new products:

--Basic Borders Dies

--Scalloped Contours Dies

--Various Stampin' Write Markers

 

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments on either of my creations today.  I really appreciate you taking the time to stop by.  HAPPY STAMPING!!  LORI

Hand-Penned Petals Bundle by StampinUP makes double the Thank you Cards!

 

The color combo for this creation includes:

White, Pale Papaya, Polished Pink, Soft Succulent

The polka dot layer comes from the Hand-Penned Designer paper pack.   Besides that new product, I used the Soft Succulent Ribbon & Hand-Penned Petals stamp set.  3 New In-Colors of Stampin' Blends were used to color the gorgeous flower.


This card has 4 layers of Vanilla card stock.  The flowers were stamped on a scrap pc. and cut out with the Penned Flowers Dies.  I used old olive ribbon and the Painted Texture 3D Emboss Folder.

I really like the font for the "Thanks" which (along with the flowers) are part of the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set.  Both Pale Papaya flowers were done with the 2 step stamping method & I used an Old Olive blend to color in the leaves.

 

If you have any questions about my 2 stamped creations today, please let me know.  I'm so grateful for your blog visit and you are appreciated!!  Please check back soon......LORI
