Stampin’ Up! Heartfelt Blooms Sneak Peek Thank You card

Happy day-before-Christmas-Eve, y’all!  Time is growing short, so I hope you’ve got everything done that needs doing!

I know I’ve already shown you a card using today’s Sale-A-Bration stamp set – Heartfelt Blooms – but I just had to use it again.  This time I paired it up with some Bundle of Love Specialty DSP from the Annual Catalog to make a soft and pretty thank you card!  Take a look-see:

The layout is from this week’s Global Design Project.

I started by Fast Fuse-ing a piece of the Blushing Bride paper from the Bundle of Love Specialty DSP to a piece of Very Vanilla card stock for the card front.

The vertical strip is a piece of Crumb Cake card stock that I embossed in one of the Petal Pair TIEFs (available 3 Jan in the Occasions catalog).  I added some “stitches” with my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write Marker and then adhered it with Liquid Glue.

I wrapped some Very Vanilla Soild Baker’s Twine around the panel a couple of times, securing it in the back with scotch tape.  Then I tied a bow around both strands.

For the art panel, I stamped the Heartfelt Blooms image (available free with a $50 purchase starting 3 Jan) in Crumb Cake on Very Vanilla, and cut it out with the largest circle Stitched Shapes Framelits die.

Using my Blender Pen, I ever so lightly colored the flowers with Powder Pink (picking the ink up from the lid of the pad), the leaves in Pear Pizzazz and the middles in Daffodil Delight.  I matted the circle on a scalloped circle of Very Vanilla, that I’d cut with my Circles Layering Framelits.  Then I popped it on the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For my sentiment, I cut a strip of Very Vanilla and, using my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, stamped the Heartfelt Blooms sentiment in Crumb Cake.  I snipped banner ends and edged it with the Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write Marker, then adhered it with Liquid Glue and a Stampin’ Dimensional under the right end.  And that was it for the card front!

On the inside, I stamped the Heartfelt Blooms image again in Crumb Cake on a piece of Very Vanilla and colored it with my Blender Pen.  Then I matted it on another piece of the Bundle of Love Specialty DSP.

I Fast Fuse’d the matted panel on a Very Vanilla mat and into my Powder Pink card base,  popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.

On the front of my Very Vanilla Medium Envelope, I added another Crumb Cake Heartfelt Blooms image – colored similarly to the card front and inner liner…

… and then added some more of the Bundle of Love Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  It’s hard to keep from going back to this Heartfelt Blooms stamp set, folks – it’s just one of the most spectacular images I’ve ever seen!  I can’t wait for you to be able to get it for yourself – for FREE! – starting 3 Jan!  Hope you like!

My Next Online Host Club is About to Kick Off

If You Want in – Now’s the Time!

Sale-A-Bration is Coming and that’s a GREAT time to get Host Benefits!

Would you like to receive host benefits ? Would you like to build up your Stampin’ Up! tool chest a little at a time?  Well then – an Online Host Club might be the perfect solution for you!

My next club will start up on 3 Jan (coincidently with the arrival of the 2018 Occasions Catalog and the start of Sale-A-Bration!) and I have a few openings available.

How does it work?  Well – at a glance…

You sign up for a 6 month term and agree to:

• Place a $25.00 minimum order each month
  
• Place your order by the 20th of each month
  
• Use the Host code I’ll provide in an email sent out at the beginning of each month
  

And what do you get in return?

• Based on a random draw, you’ll be the “host” for one of the six months
  
• In your month, you’ll be guaranteed a workshop total of $150 – meaning no less than $15 in Stampin’ Rewards for you to spend!
  
• In your Host month, your order ships FREE!
  
• When you place a host club order – which you’ll do each month – you’ll get DOUBLE peppermints for that order!  So – if all you did was place your $25 order for the six months, you’d end up with 12 Peppermints.  Most folks end up with all 16 (and then some) – and earn a free $40 gift!
  
• At the end of the club, you’ll get to choose a free stamp set up to $20!
  
• And – you get first dibs on the next Online Club!
  
• FREE monthly tutorial with 4-5 projects – and access to all the past tutorials on my  website!
  
• FREE catalogs during your membership term
