Hey there and welcome to the Alaska Achiever's Blog Hop for January 2018, our first hop of the New Year! The Alaska Achievers are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world who have joined together once a month to bring you the best of their creativity! We all get to sail to Alaska this July, courtesy of Stampin' Up!

Our theme for 2018 is an easy one: anything we want to share! I've been doing a lot of stamping with Sale-a-bration stamps and accessories, so I decided to share a card I made with the Happy Wishes set, you can choose this set free when you place a $100 order!

 
This is the first year Stampin' Up! has offered two levels of Sale-a-bration freebies. Traditionally you get to choose a free SAB item with a $50 order, but this year they added two $100 items, the Happy Wishes stamp set and the Celebrate You Thinlets Dies. (you can still choose two of the $50 level sets if you prefer)

  

I've recently FELL IN LOVE with the Petal Garden 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Stack, so I took my colors from one of the prints featuring Sweet Sugarplum, Rich Razzleberry, and Old Olive. I heat embossed the "happy" with white powder on a Sweet Sugarplum strip I punched on one end with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch.

I also LOVE the Whisper White 1/4" Organza Ribbon, found in the Petal Passion Suite on page 23 of the Occasions catalog!

I stamped directly on the Petal Garden Designer Paper with the "birthday" sentiment with Rich Razzleberry ink.

With 16 different words and phrases in the Happy Wishes set, you can make almost endless sentiment combinations!

I used Rich Razzleberry & Old Olive Stampin' Write Markers on an image from the Graceful Garden set. This set is found on page 57 of the Annual Catalog as part of the Petal Garden Suite.

Now it's time to move on to the next blog in the hop! Right now you are at Carol Payne. If at any time you get off course, you can always come back to my blog and click on the next name in the list to keep going! Enjoy our hop!
