Kylie's Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop May 2020


Hello and welcome to my blog. I am thrilled to be taking part in a blog hop with fellow demonstrators, from around the world, who are part of Kylie Bertucci's training program. There is no theme for the hop, but there is sure to be a wealth of inspiration for creating with Stampin' Up! products.


As Demonstrators we have the opportunity to order a selection of items from the New Annual catalogue in advance of its launch in June. I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of my pre-order products and I can't wait to start creating with them. It is always fun to create with brand new things isn't it? And, did you know that you can add pre-order products to your starter kit when you join? While I wait patiently for my pre-order to arrive, I can continue with my mission to show some love to some of my neglected or soon to retire products. 

The Birthday Bonanza Papers are bright and colourful and I will be sad to see them retire because I have loved using them. Make sure you add them to your shopping basket before they are gone forever.


I have made a stack of simple cards as a cheerful way to keep in touch while we are separated at home and not seeing anyone. I used three rectangles of paper and mounted them onto a black layer, which was in turn mounted onto either a Bermuda Bay or a Grapefruit Grove {retiring} card base. They are topped with two layers cut using the Stitched So Sweetly dies and finished off with a greeting. The words are heat embossed in white, die cut using the smallest circle from the Layering Circles dies and popped up on a dimensional. {The hello comes from the Timeless Tulips stamp set, and the other two sentiments come from the retiring Check You Out set.} 


The simplicity of these cards really allows the Designer Series Paper to shine and I think that I will try this layout with some other papers too. Thank you for visiting my blog today - you are currently visiting Karen Henderson. Please look at the list below to see who to visit next. I am sure you will find lots of inspiration on your journey around the hop. Make sure you don't miss any!

  3. That’s an awesome design for making lots of cards! I have a feeling it will show up one day with my seniors card classes (right now we are found kits to go). They live bright colours and happy cards. Thanks for sharing!
