Hello! I am participating in a blog hop organised by Kylie and Bruno Bertucci as part of their Demonstrator Training Program. We are a group of Demonstrators from around the world who are taking part in training that is helping us with our Stampin' Up!® business. So whether you are a regular visitor here or if you have hopped in from another blog, I am so pleased to welcome here today for this blog hop.
We are sharing ideas for thank you cards to send to our customers that shop with us during this month. I am using a new set from the up coming January to June Mini catalogue to give a sneak peek to the gorgeous products that will be with us very soon. The stamp set is called Simply Succulents and there is a coordinating set of dies called Potted Succulents.
As soon as I saw the card front sized die I knew that I wanted to cut it out and use it as a stencil. The new Blending Brushes have velvety soft heads that apply ink beautifully, even through the lacy, intricate gaps in this die. I chose to use just two colours for my card - Mint Macaron and Flirty Flamingo.
As well as the fabulous card front sized die there are also dies to crop out the stamped succulent images AND four amazing label dies. I am very happy that they have stitched edges too! Using these elements together has created a pretty layered card that is flat and perfect for posting. I'm really happy with it!
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!
