Customer thank you cards for September 2022


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 September 2022.  For today's project I wanted to highlight the same suite that is featured in the All Star Tutorial Bundle this month, which is the Abigail Rose Suite.

I have totally fallen for the Designer Series Papers and the delicate images in the stamp set. To purchase this Suite you can click HERE

If you place an order with me during September 2022 you will receive one of these cards as a thank you for your purchase together with one of the video tutorial bundles as a gift.


As I mentioned, I love the DSP! So, I am using a simple card design to make the most of the beautiful papers. The neutral tones are very calming and easy to work with. By cutting away a slim strip away from the card front I was able to showcase two of the patterns on each card.

The sentiment I chose to use, you are positively the greatest, works for lots of occasions, whether it be for encouragement or gratitiute, and it fits perfectly into either the Layering Circles or the Stylish Shapes dies. The circles are partially adhered to the card front. The right handside of the circle merely floats over the second pattern, which creates the decorative strip attached to the back/inside of the card.

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 Inkspiratons Blog Hop - Fun-fold techniques


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 fun-fold techniques.


I love making fun-fold cards! Which one should I pick? I decided to create an easel style card using the Joyful Flurry stamps.
These stamps have been on my desk for a while now as I have been having so much fun creating with them - I am eager to increase my stash of Christmas cards!


The mix of snowflakes, crisp white card with blue and purple toned decoration is always a winning wintry scene for me. I never tire of this classic combination.

The stamping is on a Basic White square; cut using the largest of the Stylish Shapes dies. I've used Starry Sky, Pool Party and Fresh Freesia inks - the largest snowflake is so beautiful. Although the bottom third of the square has no stamping on it, don't worry, it isn't left bare. I slipped the lower portion of the square into one of the Wintry embossing folders to decorate this portion of the card. Now, there are stamped and embossed snowflakes adorning the panel.


Pool Party Sheer ribbon is wrapped around the white square before adhering it to a slightly larger piece of Starry Sky. This ribbon ties wonderful bows! A trio of Iridescent Pearls finishes off the panel giving just the right amount of sparkle!

The decorative panel is mounted onto a Pool Party base to create a square fronted easel card. To create contrast with the card front, I added a layer of Starry Sky to the base and to enable the card to stand I added a banner, raised on dimensionals, to anchor it. The It's the Season of Magic and Wonder sentiment fits perfectly onto the label, which is the largest banner from the Stylish Shapes set.


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 hopping along to see all 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 - Abigail Rose Suite

Hello and welcome to our All Star Tutorial Bundle Design Team Blog Hop for September 2022. This month we are using the Abigail Rose 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 Abigail Rose 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

Here is a close up of my tutorial project.


To give you even more inspiration each of us has created another project using the Abigail Rose Suite of products. Here is my project for today.

 
The design of this piece of DSP is so sweet - row upon row of tiny little flowers arranged in neat little circles. To my layer of DSP, I have added a narrow Very Vanilla layer before adding it to a Rich Razzleberry card base, which introduces a warm tone to the composition. To emphasise the friends forever sentiment I decided to gold heat embossed it. It really pops against the Rich Razzleberry tag, the background of which is decorated with some tone on tone stamping. 
 

I adhered adhesive sheets to the Very Vanilla card to transform the dies in the Cottage Rose bundle into stickers to decorate the tag.  Three strands of Linen Thread make the bow fuller, and to echo the gold head embossing I added a gold bow too! I wanted my two projects to feature some of the same elements; DSP, floral die cuts, tags and bows and I have managed that and although today's card is in keeping with my tutorial project they are totally different!
 
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
