Demonstrator Training Program November Blog Hop

 Hello and thanks for visiting!

Thank you for joining us for our Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Blog Hop! We are so happy that you could join us today for this blog hop for ideas and creative inspiration. We are a group of Stampin' Up!® Demonstrators from around the world that are taking part in training that is helping us to build a successful Stampin' Up!® business and reach some goals we have set. We really appreciate your support.

You may be starting here or have come from another blog - either way you can find the link list at the bottom of this post so that you can see every blog post and idea today.

The Thank You card I've created for my customers this month is called a 'Gate Fold' card.    I hope it inspires you to use your beautiful DSP and create a pile of cards this season.  The DSP is cut in 3x4 pieces - you can create 12 cards from 1 sheet of DSP  - What?!?! - yes really - it is a super convenient way to maximize your DSP.  Personally I love the big border of cardstock, it creates a bold focal image and shows how perfectly the DSP and cardstock coordinates, and it's a cost effective way to create multiple cards.  Enjoy!  

Oh and I almost forgot Cardstock is on sale starting tomorrow - woohoo - the Seasonal Sale starts Nov. 16th -18th  Click here to shop the sale   

And here's the card details:

4 1/4 x 11 Evening Evergreen cardstock (CS) 

3 1/8 x 4 1/8 Soft Succulent CS layer

3 x 4 Painted Christmas DSP

4 1/2 x 1 1/2 Basic White CS for the label

4 x 5 1/4 Basic White CS for inside layer

Welcoming Woods stamp set

Painted Christmas stamp set

Real Red Sheer Ribbon

Eden Dies

Real Red Ink

Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels

Assembly & Trix:

*  Score the Evening Evergreen card base at 3 and 8 1/2 

*  Adhere the DSP to the Soft Succulent layer with Multipurpose Liquid glue (glue)

*  Adhere one side of Soft Succulent & DSP layer to the card base.

*  Die cut the label from the Eden Dies using Basic White CS then stamp the greeting using Real Red ink.  ***Trix, usually I recommend stamping first and then die cutting, however with a longer greeting it's important to cut first and then stamp to line up the greeting perfectly.  Measure 1st by laying your stamp on the die to see if it fits.  

*  Adhere the Real Red Sheer Ribbon to the back of the label with glue and set aside to dry, then adhere to card base with Stampin' Dimensionals.

*  Embellish with Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

*  Decorate the inside of the card with the Holly berries from the Painted Christmas stamp set using Real Red ink.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

In The Moment at #OnstageAtHome

 Hello and thanks for visiting today!

Currently I'm enjoying #OnStage, and it is fabulous!  Onstage is like an annual convention for us Stampin' Up!® demonstrators, full of inspiration and fun!   I will be sharing cards using new products from the January - June 2022 Mini Catalogue in the next few weeks, so check back and pull out your wish list!  :)

Here's a sneak peek from the January - June 2022 Mini Catalogue.  

I was inspired by Chelsey Christensen's presentation at #OnStage Friday and I had to give it a try.  Yes, I used a Basic White Note Card and blended the background.

***Can you guess which 3 colours I used in the sky?  Please leave me a comment at the bottom of this post and I'll answer on Sunday.  As well I'll share the technique Chelsey showed us in her presentation.  Thx for playing along :)

It's Gift Gift Time & Seasonal Sale Time

Hello and thanks for visiting!

It's gift giving time! & I have a super fun gift card holder for you. Plus, please check back on Monday, November 15th 2021 for the matching card! 

This gift card style is from Mary Fish, find her design at Stampin' Pretty.  I've changed Mary's idea up a bit, thanks to more inspiration from Patty Bennett, find Patty's design measurements at Patty Stamps.  

My card holder uses the Painted Christmas DSP, click Lesley's Online Store to purchase this paper.

And here's the project details:

3 1/4 x 11 Evening Evergreen Cardstock (CS)

3 x 10 3/4 Painted Christmas DSP

2 x 2 1/8 Evening Evergreen for the label

1 7/8 x 2 Basic White layer for the greeting

Stamp Set of choice, I used a greeting from the October Paper Pumpkin Kit called Painted Christmas

Christmas Season Stamp Set - for the Holly berries

Real Red Ink

Real Red Mini Ruffled Ribbon

Assembly & Trix:

*  Adhere the CS and DSP together then score at 2 1/4 x 7 1/4 ***Trix, does the DSP have a directional pattern?  If so score the paper to ensure the pattern flows in the same direction, I wish I had scored mine differently - can you notice?   :)

*  Seal the flap on the two sides to create a pocket, use a strong adhesive such as Tear n Tape

*  Stamp the greeting - mine uses Real Red and adhere to the top flap with Multipurpose Liquid Glue

***Trix, I used a mask to cover the centre of the label and stamped Holly berries around the edges.  Remove the mask and stamp the greeting.  If you'd like to see this technique demonstrated please watch my Facebook Live video here, Lesley's StampinTrix FB Live
 

*  Tie 12 inches of ribbon around the gift card holder to secure and add a festive feel.

Enjoy & be sure to watch my blog for more 'It's Gift Time' ideas in the next few weeks.  I hope this simple gift card inspires you to create a few gift cards for those special people in your life :)

Gen's card is a single layer card, great for a quick postcard or note to a friend or you could certainly turn this into a book mark.  She used the stamp set called 'Create With Friends' - perfect!  I love the combination of fonts in this stamp set, it's so versatile.  Click here to see it on my online store .  The paper Gen used is called Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Series Paper.  Click here to see it on my online store.
