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 to build a successful Stampin' Up!® business and to reach some goals that we have set. 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!
Throughout the hop we are sharing ideas and inspiration for Thank You cards to send to our customers during July 2022. For today's project I wanted to use something from the Awash with Beauty Suite that is featured in the All Star tutorial bundle this month and also something from the Sale-A-Bration offering.
If you place an order with me during July 2022 you will receive one of these cards as a thank you for your purchase together with one of the Awash with Beauty video tutorial bundles as a gift.
For my cards, I divided a sheet of Thick Basic White into thirds to create three small square card bases, which are topped with an embossed layer of Basic White. I tried the Gingham, Pretty Flowers and the Quatrefoil folders; I think I like the Gingham one the best! To ensure that the hippos stood out on the card I used the reverse, plainer side of Designer Series Paper. It's often overlooked, in favour of the pretty front designs, but the subtle patterns work really well as the background for the fun hippos.
Each piece of DSP is layered onto a slightly larger square of card and wrapped with a piece of the InColor Baker's Twine - the colours aren't an exact match to the Balmy Blue and Granny Apple Green that I've used, but they are close enough to work!
The hippos are stamped using Black Memento ink, coloured with Blends; I used Gray Granite, Granny Apple Green and Calypso Coral. They are then popped up using dimensionals. The awwwww! you really are the best sentiment fits snugly into a circle die from the Stylish Shapes set - looking back again at my finished cards the words resemble a speech or thought bubble. Totally unintentional, but one of those happy accidents that makes you smile!
