The Stampin’ Up! Incentive trip to Thailand was amazing. They spoiled us like you wouldn’t believe! Every little thing was taken care of while we were there. On our door was a personalized sign for each of the achievers.
Since we had basically the whole resort it was fun to read the name on each door as you walked around. The resort was absolutely beautiful with the most amazing swimming pool I’ve ever seen. It was really 4 different free form pools connected my a waterway – like a lazy river but there wasn’t really a current. So you could float or walk through the water from one section to another. At one end were the sports stuff including a beach and sand inside the pool. Our room overlooked this end of the pool. Most of the kids seemed to be hanging out at this end. There was a swim up bar, a couple of waterfalls and Jacuzzi areas along the way. Some of the rooms were right on the water and so were some of the restaurants.
It’s taken me a while to catch up to the correct time zone – the first few days I was home it was hard to stay awake during the whole day – I think I’m almost adjusted back to that now. And then my body is hungry at the wrong time of day! I’m still working on that.
I’ll share more little bits about the trip over the next week or two. But I also want to share a stamping projects with you. So I’ll be scattering those in between my Thailand posts. Some days I’ll even have two posts!
Thanks so much for supporting me in my Stampin’ Up! Business which allowed me to earn this amazing trip! There were just over 400 demonstrators world wide that earned the trip. Not everyone went on the trip – just over 300 were in attendance with a spouse, friend, or family member(s) and a few came alone. In total there were over 700 of us at the resort for the week!
Thank you for visiting!

Jul 13, 2017 | Cards, SU Incentive Trip |
At pretty much every Stampin’ Up! event there is some swapping going on. What does that mean? Well each person swapping will design a card (or whatever is being swapped), then make a specific number of them, turn them in to a coordinator, who then divides them up among those participating so that you get back one of everyone else’s card. The Thailand Incentive Trip also includes a swap. Now I haven’t been on one of these big Incentive Trips before so this is my first one and I wasn’t sure what to do for a swap.
I decided I wanted to tie it in to our trip a little bit and in looking at the resort and the rooms that we are getting the color of the decor is purple – so that’s what I wanted to use. And then there is gold. I wanted different shades of purple for my swap.

I used the Pattern Party Decorative Masks – the big medallion mask is what I used. On a placed it over a piece of Whisper White card stock and then used Sponge Daubers and ink to add different shades of color. Starting from the center I used Fresh Fig, Rich Razzleberry and Sweet Sugarplum.
I heat embossed with gold the sentiment Just a Note which is from the Soft Sayings card kit stamp set. I die cut that with the Bunch of Banners Framelits. I also cut a Gold Foil Banner and then glued those together. I layered on a piece of Fresh Fig card stock and added some Fresh Fig 1/8″ Sheer Ribbon. And a Gold Faceted Gem to the center of the medallion. It was all put on a Thick Whisper White card stock base.
I hope everyone likes my card – I made 26 for the swap – that was a lot of sponging!
