Fabulous Fun Fold Card & Feeling Loved, Valued, Appreciated by SU!

I'm excited to share with you today, the many wonderful gifts I received from Stampin' Up! for being a 2022 Incentive Trip Achiever. Earning an incentive trip is a pretty big deal as less than 1% of demonstrators worldwide earned this reward. The gifts are amazing as you will see in the second half of this post, but first I need to share a truly FUN and EASY Fun Fold Card inspired by a card created by Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Kelley Pitts for a recent card swap. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to make one and share it with all of you. I hope you enjoy this video demonstration and will plan to make your own version of this Fun Fold Card and perhaps even share it on my Stampin' Peace with Mary Knabe Facebook Page.

I received this card from SU! Demonstrator Kelley Pitts in a recent card swap and used it as the inspiration for my May 6th Facebook Live and today's blog post.

Cutting & Scoring Dimensions:

• Card base = 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", score at 2" & 3 1/8" on both ends.
• Center DSP = 2" x 5 1/2"
• DSP for 2 sides = 1 3/4" x 5 1/2" (cut 2)
• White card stock for front = 2 3/4" x 4 1/2"
• White card stock for back = 2" x 5 1/2"

The photo below shows the back of my card with space to write a personal message.

This week, Emily and I were supposed to be on the 2022 Stampin' Up! Incentive Trip I earned. It was to be a Western Caribbean Cruise. SU!, however, made the decision to cancel it last fall due to Covid. While I was sad to not be able to take Emily on this trip and to not gather with the other SU! 2022 Incentive Trip Achievers, I still owe a big THANK YOU to Stampin' UP! for the wonderful gifts they sent. Just another way Stampin' Up! has made me feel loved, valued, and appreciated for the work I do. (Less than 1% of SU! Demonstrators worldwide earned the 2022 incentive trip. It takes a lot of hard work, but I'm grateful for the opportunity to earn such a reward.) 

Many customers, team members, and followers have asked me what the gifts were. So here's a look at them now. 

I'm always impressed with the creative packaging Stampin' Up! gifts arrive in.

A handmade card and personal note from our CEO, Sara Douglass, and Co-Founder Shelli Gardner made the gifts extra special.

So many fun surprises!

Wow! AirPods and a Spotify Playlist to celebrate the achievements of the 2022 Incentive Trip Achievers. I feel like I'm up to date having these new AirPods for my walks.

I'll use these Stampin' Up! mugs for my morning coffee before I start my work day.

A lovely smelling candle can put anyone in a good mood while working from home.

Another SU! exclusive incentive trip pin to add to my collection.

And…a comfy robe with the Stampin' Up! logo on the pocket for resting and relaxing after putting in long days of working.

Thanks for stopping by for creative inspiration with today's fun fold card and a look at some very special gifts I received from Stampin' Up! I'm blessed to have the opportunity to share with you.

Have a great day!
