Demonstrator Training October Blog Hop

Welcome to the Demonstrator Training Blog Hop, organized by Kylie and Bruno Bertucci, to help us share our projects to help inspire you. Our theme each month is Thank You and/or Congratulations and you will have the chance to visit with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world and see their amazing projects. 

I love creating clean and simple Thank You cards to send to customers to show my appreciation. One of my favorite ways to do this is with designer series paper as the focal image for my card design. For today's card design, I chose to use one of the beautiful designs from the All About Autumn 6"x6" Designer Series Paper which can be found in the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog. I wanted the photo realistic image to be the focus of this beautiful card, so the only thing I added was a sentiment that I created using the Autumn Leaves Bundle. I love how card has a simply Wow factor to it without a lot of fuss.

Creating clean and simple cards with designer series paper is really just as it sounds. It's a great way to use up your beautiful paper and let the designs shine as the main focus of the card design. For this particular card, I chose to create a landscape design to make the most of the beautiful Fall leaves for the background. The sentiment has been heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder onto the Early Espresso sentiment label and attached to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. For the smaller sentiment, I stamped the sentiment using Versamark and Early Espresso Classic ink and then heat embossed it using Clear Embossing Powder to give it a glossy finish. I attached the label to the bottom of the larger sentiment, towards the right side. To complete the card design, I added several of the Gold Adhesive Backed Sequins for a touch of bling. One of the things I love about this card design is that it is relatively flat and ready to mail out with normal postage.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will provide you with some new ideas to help you create your own beautiful projects to send to family and friends. Sending "paper hugs" is a great way to let people know that you are thinking of them.
