The Sweet Home stamp set and coordinating Home Sweet Home Thinlits Dies is a fabulous bundle for creating cute houses to either use as home décor pieces or a gift boxes. But what about using these versatile products to create cards too!

I needed to make two special cards at the start of this month, so used the Sweet Home Bundle to create gorgeous houses for the front of the cards, then changed up the sentiment for each of the two occasions. This first one is a Welcome Card for a friend who recently signed up as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and joined my team...

This card is so sweet and the house has so much dimension, which is beautifully set off by the Blooms & Bliss Designer Series Paper.

The end of September was the last chance to earn the Stampin' Up! Incentive Trip for next year - a trip for two to Phuket, Thailand in July 2017. I am incredibility fortunate to have earned this trip a few months ago and so very thankful for everyone who supported me. The exciting thing is that last month one of my team members, and very good friend, also achieved this trip and I am so pleased to share it with her. For her card I stamped the banner on the door with "Congrats" from the Thoughtful Banners stamp set...

Planning and working towards these awesome opportunities is really motivating and it's fun doing it together. The next trip that we are working towards is an all-expenses-paid Alaskan Cruise in 2018!

We have the ability to earn the Alaskan Cruise from this month until the end of September 2017. Earning the Incentive Trip is a huge goal and takes a lot of work, but the reward is amazing. This is just one of the rewards that Stampin' Up! offer their demonstrators - there are other fabulous opportunities available to every demonstrator.
