Demonstrator Training February Blog Hop Thank You

Welcome to the Demonstrator Training February Blog Hop as we showcase Thank You and Congratulations cards to help inspire you. Our wonderful Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas using current Stampin' Up! products to help spark your creativity.

For my card design today, I thought I would use the new Thoughtful Expressions Bundle to create a pretty Thank You card. I chose to use the embossing folder from the Softly Sophisticated Bundle, which is a Level 2 Sale-a-bration Reward you can earn free with a qualifying $100 order. I love the delicate detail and texture this embossing folder adds to the background. The beautiful floral image is just one of the wonderful designs in the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set and I love the variety of layering shapes in the Thoughtful Expressions Dies. The sentiment is from the Go To Greetings stamp set, one of my favorite sentiment stamp sets because it has a wonderful range of sentiments in different sizes and fonts that works well for a variety of occasions.

This pretty card design is all about the layers to add depth and dimension to the design. I stamped the floral design onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored in the image using Stampin' Blends Markers before die cutting it out with the coordinating die. I layered it onto a Very Vanilla cardstock label die cut with the Thoughtful Expressions Dies, using Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. I then added it to the slightly larger Crumb Cake label die cut with same dies. The card front has been embossed with the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder and attached to the Crumb Cake card base. I added a piece of the Bubble Bath Sheer Ribbon behind the Crumb Cake label in a zig zag and then attached the label to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals, towards the left side. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image from the Go To Greetings stamp set with Gold embossing powder onto a Very Vanilla cardstock label and attached it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. To finish off the design, I added several Gold Sequins for a touch of bling. I love the soft and pretty look of this card design and how well these colors work together.
