This May Bob the Builder, Boo and I are headed to Ireland. Ireland has been on our bucket list for many years but the sheer cost of flights and hotels was out of our reach. That was until I earned the Stampin' Up! Incentive trip to the Mediterranean. For a very reasonable cost, we are able to spend 5 days in Ireland before Stampin' Up! flies us to Barcelona, Spain where we will meet up with the other trip achievers for a 7 day cruise. This is a trip of a lifetime for us and we feel so incredibly blessed to be going. We've been saving up for this trip for almost a year and in 4 more months I'm looking forward to seeing the gorgeous flowering fields of Ireland!
It's this image that inspired my card. Here's where the "three cheers" come in.
The stamp sets and the designer paper used on my card are ALL free products you can select during Sale-A-Bration – Stampin' Up!'s largest sale of the year. When you spend $50 you can select any of the exclusive products in the Sale-A-Bration brochure for free and that includes the Flowering Fields stamp set, the Perfect Pairings stamp set and this colorful Wildflower Fields designer paper. Ohhh, so many choices – and there's even more to choose from then these three items! Take a look at all the freebies offered in the Sale-A-Bration brochure HERE.
I stamped the flowers in Basic Black ink and colored them in with the Gold Wink of Stella. The gold Wink is a perfect match to Hello Honey with the right amount of shimmer. Gorgeous!
The Old Olive marker fills in the stems with ease and the designer paper's in this pack are colorful and coordinate beautifully making it easy for me to create a complimentary border. The Perfect Pairings stamp set includes 9 different sentiments. I created the banner to house the greeting and added the Gold Metallic Thread to play up the gold Wink of Stella.
Pretty – and simple!

Here are a few testimonials:
"I love all the products, and after moving to an area where availability is a problem, the decision was best for me. I love the excitement of seeing and ordering things before the public. I miss my friends who I would get together with to stamp, and Hawaii Ink gives me the network to do that. And then there is Lisa! She is always gracious, honest, helpful, and inspiring!" – Lynn. R, (South Carolina)
"I'm brand new to being a demonstrator so I feel like I'm a little lost and have a lot to learn but I can tell you that what prompted me to join your team is the ideas and friendliness that I saw through youtube videos and your blog. I'm not sure how to put it into words–but many of your ideas appeal to me and have the 'flavor' of what I like (if that makes sense). Then, when I contacted you to ask some questions I got quick and personalized service and I felt like you were truly listening to what my goals and needs were and that you cared. I never knew until talking to you that I could be a demonstrator even if all I'm able to do right now is function as a 'hobbyist' and not as a 'real job'." – Meagan J. (Minnesota)
"I like being a demonstrator for the sneak peeks of new merchandise, the discounts, and being part of Lisa's Hawaii Ink team. Our team members don't hesitate to share their ideas. Lisa is a fabulous leader and genuinely cares for all of us. - Connie K. (Florida)
I love your card, Lisa, using the DSPs and the simple stamped flowers, gold Wink of Stella, gold thread and the cute font for the sentiment. I recently found your blog and enjoy seeing your creative cards. Congratulations on your SU win. You are going to absolutely love your visit to Ireland. It is a very beautiful country and friendly people. Have a great day.
Hey, HJ! Thank you for reaching out to me. It’s so good to chat with a follower. Super glad, too, that you like my card. I’m very excited about our upcoming trip and it sounds as if you’ve been there?! Thanks again for commenting, HJ. I really appreciate it!
HUGS!
Beautiful card…so pretty with that DSP and your delicate florals! Good for you for earning the incentive trip…Ireland looks wonderful (Scotland is on MY bucket list, LOL!) and I am sure you’ll have a wonderful time! Thanks for sharing this with the Players this week!
Hi LeAnne! Thanks for commenting. Scotland is also on bucket list too…another time, perhaps. Have a great weekend and thanks again for stopping by.
Love these – so sweet! And that is one talented team you are working with – wow! Glad you joined us at the Paper Players!
Hi Linda! Thank you for taking the time to stop by and comment. I appreciate the feedback and the encouraging words. Yes, the Creativate Team is amazing and we’re great things for our teams.
Trying to find a card sent email to me which had a sky is the limit type plane on the front which went round like a clock on a circle – but do to going on holiday I saved to a folder – I have checked and checked the folders and cannot find it – can you help ?
I thought it might be a stampin up rep as many send me emails here and a road
But it could have been a card with any plane on the front
I was intrigued by the fact it went round on a circle I think – like if it was a card that could be used for. Someone like myself who is away from family and I could picture a globe (world) with a plane on one side and a ship on the other moving around ??
You may have seen such a card ?
Kindest Regards

Hi Rita! I haven’t seen the card you’re specifically describing but I did create one for a Blog Hop that spins. Try this link:http://www.lisasstampstudio.com/2016/01/medite.html?cid=6a019b014295f3970c01b7c80dd63c970b#comment-6a019b014295f3970c01b7c80dd63c970b
You may want to try Googling the stamp set name and see if you can find it under “images”.
Thanks for reaching out to me. Wish I could help you more.
