Hawaiian Grand Vacation Pillow Gifts

Whether you are just coming from  Kim Gavarra 's blog or just arriving here first...WELCOME!!

We just got back from Stampin' Up!'s Grand Vacation to Hawaii last week.  One of my favorite parts of these Incentive Trips are the Pillow Gifts.  Each night when you come back to your room, Stampin' Up! has placed a lovely gift on your pillow...hence Pillow Gifts!!  We get awesome stuff!!  We are so spoiled!!!   So we are doing a blog hop inspired by a pillow gift...well I was inspired by two gifts ...couldn't decide....so here are my creations.

The first gift was a lovely quilted bag.  This quilting is found all over Hawaii...so pretty.  Quilting and flowers... what a great combination!!

Inspiration

My Creation!


I used Pacific Point Card stock and made a quilted pattern using the Stampin' Trimmer scoring blade.  I highlighted the pattern with the tiniest of the Basic Pearls.  The flower is made with White Filter Paper punched with the Scalloped Punches.  Punch a hole in the center ,add a brad and scrunch it all up!!    I used Wild Wasabi Seam Binding to make a couple of "leaves".  A pretty, little any occasion card!




My next inspiration came from a stamping pillow gift...we receive a new stamp set from Our Project Life Collection called This Is the Life!!
I thought this set is perfect for  a shaker card!  I love a good shaker!!!  And I  received our brand new Brights Sequin Assortment and Everyday Chic DSP at our Hospitality Suite which is perfect for this project!
So I went ahead and made a couple of shaker cards and a Tiny Treat Box with a shaker top.

Love these Bright Colors

I love this New 2015-2016 Catalog...can't wait till June 2nd...the cattie goes live!!!
