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.  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

Earlier today I was browsing through my e-mails and was intrigued by the sketch that fellow demonstrator Brian King used for his colorful card.  The sketch was from Freshly Made Sketches and designed by fellow demonstrator, Linda Callahan.  I chose not to participate in the challenge due to timing, but it did not stop me from using it as the source of inspiration for my customer thank you cards this month!

Project Details

The Art Gallery floral cluster was colored with Stampin' Write Markers using Old Olive for the leaves and stems, Bumblebee for the smallest blooms and Flirty Flamingo for the larger blooms and stamped onto Basic White cardstock.  The stamped image was die cut with the coordinating Floral Gallery die and set aside.  The floral image was cleaned with a Simply Shammy and colored with Old Olive, Bumblebee and Petal Pink several times on a Basic White die cut circle from the Layering Circles Dies.  The stamped circle was embossed with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.

The Petal Pink 5/8" Organdy Ribbon was adhered to a Basic White cardstock layer and adhered to the back with Tear & Tape Adhesive.  White twine was wrapped along the center of ribbon and adhered similarly.  The Basic White card layer was layered with Petal Pink and Basic White card layers before being adhered to the Old Olive vertical card base.  The bottom Basic White card layer replicates the three diagonal lines with the sentiment inked in Old Olive and stamped and off-stamped.  The sentiment panel was also stamped and die cut from this same layer.

The inside of the card is just as important as the card front!  The layers were replicated along with the stamped cluster image which was off-stamped.  The same image was also colored and stamped on the envelope front and flap!

  2. I love the design of your card - so pretty. And I'm a huge fan of completing the inside of the card - I really like how you stamped off first - it will serve as a subtle, yet very pretty background for a message.

    1. Thanks so much, Mary Ann! Totally inspired by the card challenge. Coloring with markers was one of the first techniques I learned as a stamper so I love using it whenever I get the change like with this amazing stamp. So glad you like completed insides, too!
