Hello to each of you who pop by to see what I have been creating. I appreciate each of you and your interest.
It’s time for this month’s blog hop!
Thank you for joining us for our Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Blog Hop! We are so happy that you could join us today for this blog hop for ideas and creative inspiration. We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from around the world that are taking part in training that is helping us to build a successful Stampin’ Up!® business and reach some goals we have set. We really appreciate your support.
Each month I look forward to creating thank you cards to send to my customers who have placed an order with me during that month. Some of these cards will also have a gift from me as well, if the order was at least $50 and the HOST CODE was used.
The ‘thank you’ cards I have made for March have six different designs. I decided to use a few of the FREE Sale-a-bration products. I hope that you all placed your orders in time to earn these these amazing products – PAPER BLOOMS DSP and the A TOUCH OF INK STAMP SET.
I really went outside my usual ‘style’ but wanted to see how they could be teamed together.
The colour palette from the Designer Series Paper, I think, made it quite easy – Night of Navy, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Rococo Rose, Seaside Spray and Soft Sea Foam.
I think my favourite sheet of DSP is the one with the individual water colour circles.
It was loads of fun using the STITCHED SHAPES DIES circles to cut all the colours from the DSP for some of these cards.
For each of the butterflies I stamped the outlinebefore stamping off the in fill colour. I love the way the in fill colour is that it is not confined to wings. It looks like it is a messy watercolour (my favourite kind of water colouring).
The 12 different designs in the PAPER BLOOMS DSP pack have so many ways they can be used and combined.
And, now it’s time to move onto the hummingbird!
I hope that my wonderful customers enjoy their March THANK YOU card – in the mail in the first week of April.
Let’s take a closer look.
I added some ribbon from the BOHO INDIGO PRODUCT MEDLEY to wrap around the card front. I used my Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blends to colour some OPAL ROUNDS to add to the card front.
A ‘very’ thankful card! I used the OPAL ROUNDS again, as well as some of the ROCOCO ROSE SCALLOPED LINEN RIBBON. The butterful was coloured using Blends and Wink of Stella before fussy cutting it.
It is easy to underestimate the versatility of the STITCHED SHAPES DIES.
It’s so interesting how using different DSP can create such a different look for a similar layout.
I liked that this DSP could be used to feature the hummingbird.
There is no butterfly or hummingbird for this card – it just features the leaves and flowers.
While I have created six different THANK YOU card designs, I look forward to sending them to my customers.
I hope that you let me know what you think. Which card would you like to receive?
There will lots of other thank you cards, made by demonstrators around the world. Check them out and get some great ideas for your own cards. I hope you enjoy hopping.
Happy stamping!
