Customer Thank You cards for September 2021 - Kylie's Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop

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. I cannot believe that this is the final hop for this round of training! So, whether you are a regular visitor or if you have hopped in from another blog, I am delighted to welcome you here to my blog! 

We are sharing ideas for Thank You cards to send to our customers during September. If you place an order with me during September you will receive one of these cards as a thank you for your purchase.

The Pattern Party stack of paper can be bought with Stampin' Rewards that have been earnt when you host a party or place a large order - these papers have colurful pattern on one side and monochromatic black and white on the reverse. Both are fantastic. I have used the bright, happy patterns to make set of cute thank you cards.

I have used the Love it, Chop it! mantra and cut my paper into pieces that are perfect for adorning small 10cm square cards. I picked my favourite one sheet wonder layouts to work with and set up an array ingredients on my desk - piles of DSP, layering pieces, embossing folders and a couple of stamp sets.

I mixed and matched layers and textures and then added Thank You's to them using a few of my favourite dies and punches. It was so much FUN making these cards up!

Thank you so much for visiting today, I hope you have been inspired! As mentioned at the beginning, this is a blog hop so make sure you hop ar0und to see the other amazing projects on the hop! Click on the links below to visit them.

Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop - September 2021

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I am taking part in a blog hop with some fellow enthusiasts who love sharing their creative talents using their Stampin' Up!® products. This month the Stamping Inkspirations blog hop is all about Lifetime Celebrations.

In a little over a week it will be our pearl wedding anniversary, which sure is a Lifetime Celebration. So, in readiness for that day, I've made an anniversary card using the Always in my Heart stamps and the coordinating Floral Heart dies.

I love anything to do with hearts; the mug I'm drinking my coffee from has whimsical hearts printed on it, my necklace and bracelets have heart-shaped charms on...you get the idea! This set was a must for me. My favourite part is the long edging die - those tiny hearts and the stitching make an adorable border.

The In Color Shimmer vellum has a wonderful lustre all by itself, but once embossed it's taken to another level. Using one of the Dotty Hearts folders was an easy choice to make.

This embossed Fresh Freesia vellum sits on top of a slightly wider panel of Fresh Freesia card with the brushed metallic die cut heart borders sitting underneath, nestled next to the card edges. The Shimmery White card base peeps through tiny heart border adding lustre and a little bit of luxury.

I cut the floral heart shapes out in several card types - Metallic Gold, Fresh Freesia and Shimmery White - not knowing which would work best. I discarded the gold one as it was a bit too much and decided on a mix and match approach with a Fresh Freesia floral layer and a solid heart in Shimmery White. I softened the edges of the heart and highlighted the leaves and buds of the die cut shape by adding a little Fresh Freesia ink applied using a blending brush - the velvety soft bristles allow you to build up the colour subtly.

The banner is another favourite element in this set - the die cuts and scores the folds for you to create the elegant stitched edged banner. The sentiment is white heat embossed, which I admit wasn't easy because ink has a tendacy to slip on the slick surface. I think that the result was well worth the extra effort and patience required!

For embellishments Basic Pearls were an absolute necessity! To these I also added a couple of the Elegant Faceted gems, some tiny pieces of gold die cut foliage and a couple of the waste hearts from the border. Finally, I coloured the buds and flower outlines with my Wink of Stella glitter brush. It's an over the top card with lots of layers and embellishments, and I'm happy with that. It's for an over the top occasion!

I hope that you are inspired by my card today and that you will continue along the hop to see what the others have created too. Enjoy the projects! We would love to hear from you and so if you have been inspired, please leave a comment.

All Star Tutorial Bundle Blog Hop - You're a Peach Suite

Hello and welcome to our All Star Tutorial Bundle Design Team Blog Hop for September 2021. This month we are using the You're a Peach Suite. The projects featured in the bundle are exclusive and the tutorials come complete with photos, video directions and a supply list that includes both Metric and Imperial measurements.

Here is a sneak peek of the You're a Peach bundle of tutorials.

To enjoy the tutorials you have several options:

• shop with me -  if you order from my online store you will receive that month's bundle for free
• purchase - buy the bundle for £11.50 
• Join my Team - team members will receive the tutorials for free

To give you even more inspiration each of us has created another project using the You're a Peach products. Here is my project for today.

I chose to use similar elements on this card to those I used on my card for the tutorial and, very satisfyingly, I used up the leftover piece of vellum. As I need to increase my stock of birthday cards I have made another one today.

The Balmy Blue paper has a very calming effect on me especially with a scattering of coordinating flowers - I am imagining relaxing in the garden with a sweet scent filling the air. 

The leafy background was stamped in Pear Pizzazz and pruned to sit around the narrow banners.  The Balmy Blue Banner is just wide enough to accommodate the Happy Birthday sentiment - I love the hand-written style of the sentiments in this set. The stamped, die cut flowers were adhered to the branches using glue dots - the petals can curl more naturally this way! I applied some adhesive sheet to Balmy Blue card before die cutting the tiny flowers, which made them easy to place on the card. And, the blue, adhesive backed gems add just a little bit of sparkle! Pretty as a peach, without a peach in sight!

Let me know what you think in the comments below. If you want to be inspired with more ideas using this suite you can purchase the tutorial bundle (along with previous tutorials) HERE.
