Hello and welcome to my blog!  Today I am hopping along with other members of Bruno and Kylie Bertucci's Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator Training Program.  I have learned so much through this training group since I first became a demonstrator that I had to participate in it once again as there is always something to learn.  We love doing our Monthly Team Blog Hops with our general theme for all the hops being customer and team thank you cards.

Today's Project

Today's project is a thank you card that I am providing to my customers this month as a thank you for their orders.  New catalogs are always such exciting times with lots of new things to see and inspire us to want to create even more than we do.  I love spoiling my customers and I hope that they enjoy my gratitude as much as I enjoy sharing new ideas and techniques with them.

The words "thank you" can be expressed in so many different ways and that is what I am sharing with my customers this month through a stamp set in the Annual Catalog and a SNEAK PEEK of a January-June 2022 Mini Catalog stamp set!

Project Details

I previously posted the SNEAK PEEK card on Instagram around the time of OnStage@Home to share the excitement of new products that we were getting to play with during the Stamp and Share Experience!  When you love a card design so much, it makes it easy to replicate for other stamp sets.  So I CAS(e)D my OnStage at Home card and chose colors outside my front windows at this time of year with my hydrangeas.

Sharing the idea of creating your own background to resemble DSP and creating a modified "Billie Bow" with trimmed Denim Ribbon in addition to the favorite Linen Thread are some ideas that I love to share with my customers.  And the often forgotten "Torn Paper" Technique that can add just the perfect touch that you're looking for and, of course, fussy cutting your sentiments for that special compliment to the stamped images... something else to inspire them.  And, ooooh, showing them some of the embellishments like the upcoming Classic Matte Dots and the Annual Catalog Genial Gems... we mustn't forget that!

Showing them different ways for completing the insides of their cards along with stamping their coordinating envelopes is always an added bonus!
