Peaceful Boughs - Thank You card

Peaceful Boughs - Thank You

Every month I design a new Thank You card for my customers.  It is such a happy task, because I simply have the best customers there are!  They are incredibly creative and collaborative.  Every one of them are kind and inspiring.  So when it comes to designing a Thank You card, it is important to me to express, through my design, my sincere appreciation for them choosing me as their Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator.   This month of December, I chose a classic wintery theme.  Simple pinecones with gold embossing for the sentiment.  

Highlights to create this project

The stamp set used is Peaceful Boughs from the Annual Catalog.  
To create the embossed sentiment I used Versamark ink, and Gold Embossing Powder
Cardstock colors are Crumb cake, Early Esspresso, and not shown is Very Vanilla as the card insert.
Ink color is Early Espresso.
Envelope color is Very Vanilla.
Gold cord is from the Wonder of the Season Ribbon combo pack (retiring soon)

The sentiment is from the Heal Your Heart stamp set that will be available in January as a Sale-a-bration free product earn with $50 purchase.  If you want it prior to the sale-a-bration promotion, join my Paper Blessings team to enjoy the perks of early access to all the new products!

Quite Curvy Bundle Thank You


Thank you for joining us for our Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator Monthly Team Blog Hop!

Wow!  Its November already!  

Here, in the Pacific North West region of the US, we have had some cold yet glorious sunny days.  As I take note of my blessings this month, I can't help but recognize that because of this pandemic I have had the opportunity to see all the beautiful fall colors on the trees.  Since I am working from home, I actually get to see all the brilliant beauty that autumn brings.  This has been a true blessing.  

Another of my blessings are my great customers!  I am blessed for every opportunity I have to share my love of paper and ink crafting with all of you.  And I am doubly blessed, because I grow and learn from each and every one of you.  Thank you for your trust and friendship.

I used the Quite Curvy Variety Bundle to create this "Thank You" card for my customers this month.
The shopping link can be found at the bottom of this post.

The highlights of this project:
  • Misty Moonlight Card stock for the card base
  • Whisper White card stock for card front and interior
  • Sahara Sand DSP from Classic Christmas Designer Series Paper
  • Misty Moonlight, Whisper White, and Seaside Spray card stock for die cut foliage, from the    Curvy Die set
  • Linen thread and the Misty Moonlight/Silver Bakers Twine from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo pack
  • Misty Moonlight Ink on front and inner card
  • Foliage on inner card is from Curvy Christmas
  • Inner sentiment is from the Many Mates stamp set
  • Clear Elegant Faceted Gems for just the right touch of "bling" to the card front
This card was quite quick to stamp, cut and assemble.  Enjoy!

Prized Peony Bundle


 As a demonstrator, we get early previews of upcoming promotions and catalogs..... Its one of the perks.

Well when we got to preview the Annual Catalog that would come out in June, 2020...... I was drawn to the Prized Peony bundle like a magnet!  I needed my hands on those beautiful blooms right away.  I've made quite a few different cards using this bundle, and eventually you will see them all..... but for today I wanted you to see this card..... with 3D flowers.

One of the card swap groups that I belong to had a monthly theme of "anything from the new annual catalog" and this is what I came up with.  I made 11 of this cards...... and yes, that means I made 33 of these peonies!!

Here is the list of supplies:

  • card base is Early Espresso card stock
  • The wood look layer is designer series paper from the In Good Taste pack. 
  • I die cut the peonies out of Whisper White cardstock, then sponged the edges with Petal Pink ink.  The flower center is die cut from Early Espresso cardtock.
  • The leaves are die cut from Mossy Meadow and Old Olive cardstocks, and adhered together.
  • The sentiment is created from the So Sentimental stamp set and White heat embossing powder.
  • The subtle bling is made possible by using clear Elegant Faceted Gems
Here is the link to the stamp and die bundle that I used to make this card:


This is one of those cards that generated a lot of conversations and allowed me to meet many new friends.  

This card could be simplified by just using one blossom, or enhanced by using ribbons.  It would be perfect for any event..... Birthday, Get Well, Wedding/Anniversary.  The sky is the limit with a 3D flower, and it was super, super easy to do.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Snow Wonder Bundle

 

Snow Wonder

Back in August, when the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog came out, I immediately fell in LOVE with this snowman!  This was the first set in the mini catalog that I just HAD TO HAVE!  
He is classic!  A perfect snowman with that scarf and hat.  

This was the first card that I created with this stamp and die bundle, and WOW..... did I get a big response!  I made this card for a group swap, and as a result have met so many people that have wanted to talk about it.  

Here is the list of supplies that I used to create this happy card:

  • Card base is Garden green cardstock.
  • Pop layer is Real Red cardstock
  • The stamped image layer is Whisper White Thick cardstock - this is important in order to accomplish the debossed snowflakes.
  • The trees are stamped in Garden Green ink using the stamps from this bundle.  I then high lighted the snow on the trees and the base of the trees with Wink of Stella
  • I stamped the snowman using Soft Suede ink, colored his hat and scarf using the Real Red and Light Mossy Meadow Stampin Blend pens, used Wink of Stella on the body to make him glisten,  and die cut him using the dies from this bundle.  He was applied to the card using Dimensionals for lift.
  • The sentiment was created used White Heat Embossing Powder on Real Red cardstock.  It was die cut using one of the label dies from this bundle, then applied with Dimensionals.
  • Lastly, I debossed the snow flakes into the sky using the debossing dies that come in this bundle. I then took my time to carefully apply Wink of Stella to all the snowflakes for a sweet shimmer fromt he sky.
Here is the link to the bundle I used to make this card:

Today is a chilly day, and tonight we are supposed to get down into the 20's.  But the skies are clear and there is no chance of snow..... so for now I will have to settle for making snowmen on cards for friends and family.

I hope this inspired you to create some holiday cards.  
Thanks for joining me.

Hugs,
Teah
