Welcome to the Maui Achievers October 2020 Blog Hop!
Welcome to our monthly Maui Achievers Blog Hop. We’re a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world who have achieved the Stampin’ Up! bonus of the Maui incentive trip. We celebrate this achievement by organizing a monthly hop which helps us continue to inspire you creatively.
You may be starting here or have come from someone else’s blog – either way there’s a list at the end of this post to help you move around all the different blogs and get many amazing ideas. We all have our country listed – so if you’re looking for a demonstrator these are top demonstrators in their country and would love to help you with your Stampin’ Up! shopping or if you’d like to join our Stampin’ Up! teams. Visit all of the blogs and leave a comment.
Maui Achievers October 2020 Blog Hop Projects
I love many things about Stampin’ Up! products. I love the color coordination. The card stock matches the ink matches the markers matches the ribbon matches the ribbon. You get the idea! But I also appreciate the product versatility. The stamps, ink, paper, and accessories lend themselves to a variety of projects, in addition to greeting cards and memory keeping. I enjoy creating home decor with my Stampin’ Up! goodies.
Today, I’m sharing two holiday themed framed projects — one a bit more traditional and the other whimsical. Which is your favorite?
The “Joy” frame uses the the Red Velvet 12 x 12 paper from Stampin’ Up!’s August-December Mini Catalog, as well as the Playful Alphabets Dies and the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog.
The “Let It Snow” frame features the Snowman Season stamp set and the coordinating Snowman Builder Punch (from the Annual Catalog) as well as the Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper embossed with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder (Mini Catalog).
See the list of products at the end of this post. Please let me know if you have questions about today’s projects. If you’re not currently working with a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I’d love to help you with your papercrafting supplies and projects.
Thanks for hopping with us today. Look for us next month!

Stampin’ Up! Let It Snow
Today, my card is all about the background. It almost looks like one of Stampin’ Up!’s Designer Series Papers, but it’s not. I used rubber cement. Yes, the kind from the office supply store.
I started by dropping the rubber cement with a toothpick onto a piece of Whisper White card stock (measuring 5 x 3 ¾ inches). I wanted to make it look like snow. I then let this piece dry thoroughly. For me, that was overnight.
I then used Stampin’ Up!’s Sponge Brayers to layer on Balmy Blue ink. I kept rolling until I got the desired darkness. Then, with a paper towel, I rubbed the rubber cement off of the card stock. I would call this an emboss-resist technique.
For the rest of the card, I used the Snowman Builder Punch to punch out a snowman from the Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper. (I love that some of the images can be punched directly from the Designer Series Paper.) I topped him with a hat punched from the Black Foil Sheets (and arms, too). The “snow” is a piece of the Sparkle Glimmer Paper die cut with a piece from In the Woods. It’s layered on Basic Black and Balmy Blue.
Thanks for stopping by today! Remember to check out all of the other blogs on the hop. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the post to see the products used to create today’s card.
