Around the World on Wednesday – April 2025

Welcome to April’s Around the World on Wednesday (AWOW) Blog Hop! April 2025 marks five years of hopping for the AWOW Blog Hop Team, the first “hug around the world” happened in April 2020. A huge “THANK YOU!” to Angie McKenzie for creating this blog hop and inviting me to participate back in 2020 representing my Stampin’ Up! Market and time zone and becoming a Charter Member. This endeavor was the push for me to create a website and start blogging.
None of this would have been possible if Angie had not been encouraged by our team member, Anne Marie Hile! Her vote of confidence in Angie was the push that made this blog hop happen, sharing our creativity and love of Stampin’ Up! with the world. This month, in celebration of our 5th year, we will be CAS(e)ing the incredible Anne Marie! Come hop with us to see all of the amazing projects the team has created.

You can find Anne Marie’s amazing projects on Instagram (@stampin_anne) and on her blog (http://www.stampinanne.com/). I perused her Instagram page and found a super fun card to CAS(e) that she created back in August of 2023.


My card features a variety of old and new products; the Stylish Shapes Dies, the Round We Go Dies, the Sweet Blooms Photopolymer Stamp Set, the Florals In Bloom DSP, and the Floral Impressions DSP. I also added Linen Thread and some 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls. My color palette is Darling Duckling, Secret Sea, Cloud Cover, Garden Green, and Timid Tiger.

What an adorable CAS(e) of Anne Marie’s card Teri. I love that you have used some new and old product, and how you have taken Anne Marie’s celebratory stars and turned them into a pretty floral version. xxxx
Thank you Cheryll! And, thank you so much for keeping this going for us!
That’s a lovely mix of old and new, as well as a fitting CASE of Anne-Marie’s card. Congratulations to you too as a founding member. 🙂
Love your card!! Especially all the dots! And those flat pearls are beautiful!
