Stampin’ Up! knows there is always room for innovation, which is why we’ve trademarked a new style of red rubber stamp. Named Distinktive (see what we did there?), these stamps start with a photograph, which our amazing Stampin’ Up! manufacturing team in Kanab, Utah then turns into a photo-realistic red rubber stamp!
The Healing Hugs Stamp Set andAll the Good Things Stamp Set are both Distinktive Stamps featured in the 2018 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. This innovative stamp style allows you to create images with depth by simply inking and stamping once!
Healing Hugs (page110) includes 9 red rubber stamps that will send healing vibes with beautiful photo-realistic flower.
All the Good Things (page 151) includes 6 red rubber stamps that features a Japanese plant garden and koi. Did you know that koi are symbols of love and friendship in Japan? This Distinktive stamp set is perfect for creating eye-catching projects!
🚢Alaska Incentive Trip Update…Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, our last port of call! The capital of British Columbia is located on Canada's largest island, Vancouver Island. This seaside enclave and one-time British colony has retained much of its colonial splendor. And thanks to a temperate climate, Victoria blooms with color during the spring and summer months, contributing to its nickname, the Garden City!

🚢Alaska Incentive Trip Update…Our port of call today is Tracy Arm Fjord, Alsaka. It's located about 45 miles south of Juneau. Standing at 27 miles long, it is considered to be one of Alaska's natural gems for any visitor! Among the sights to admire through the narrow inlet's icy waters are waterfalls cascading down 3,000 foot granite walls. Sawyer Glacier is an active tidewater glacier, meaning it calves or breaks off. Pieces of it--ranging from the size of cards to the size of buildings--break off the glacier, hitting the water with a thunderous roar. Looking out at the fjord among the water, sky, and glacier, visitors have also spotted goats, whales, bears, harbor seals, and birds. AND, if that's not enough, I must find time to visit the Stampin' Up! Hospitality Suite!

I decided to participate in the Alaska Incentive Trip 3D Swap for the first time this year! The Tea Room Suite is one of my favorite collection of products in the entire catalog, so I knew I wanted to create something related to tea. Did I mention that I LOVE iced tea, hot tea, and flavored teas?
After much thought, I decided to create a Tea Bag Treat Holder...something that could hold a tea bag and honey stick; and a Bible verse appropriate for the treat ensemble.
☕️In the first video tutorial...you'll Meet the Tea Room Suite, filled with beautiful coordinating product!
☕️☕️In the second video tutorial...you'll learn how to create my exclusive tea bag holder! Be sure to download the Inspiration Sheet complete with photos and URL links to the tea bags and honey sticks. The download will be right under the video tutorial.
☕️☕️☕️In the third video tutorial...you'll learn how to download and print the Proverbs 16:21 Bible Verse and cut it out using the Spot of Tea Framelits Dies. It, too, will be under the video tutorial.
The Incentive Trip 3D Swap is always optional...but I love to participate especially since there's a new catalog! I made 26 three-dimensional swaps; 25 to swap with other demonstrators and one for Stampin' Up! to take back to the home office. I'm dropping off my bag of swaps today in the Stampin' Up! Hospitality Suite and will pick up a 25 new swaps on Wednesday. Stampin' Up! does all the swapping for us. It's easy for us...drop off and pick up!
🚢Alaska Incentive Trip Update…Today will reach our second port of call~Skagway, Alaska! Home of the Great Klondike Rush, Skagway's charming downtown area is filled with beautifully restored 19th century buildings, wooden boardwalks, and its historic railway--looking much like it did 100 years ago! Vintage railroad locomotives run through White Pass and Yukon routes exhibiting the sweeping mountains while en route to Canada.
Tom and I will embark on a 30 minute helicopter ride as we soar above Skagway's rugged terrain and towering waterfalls before landing on Denver Glacier for a dog-sledding voyage!
