Hello and welcome to my blog! Thank you for joining me for the Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Blog Hop. We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world, sharing our card creations based on the theme of Thank You or Congrats for this month. I am delighted to welcome you here whether you are a regular visitor or if you have hopped in from another blog. You will find the blog hop list at the bottom of this post so that you can see all of the posts today. If you place an order with me during February you will receive one of these cards as a thank you for your purchase. I wanted to highlight how wonderful the Designer Series Paper from Sale-A-Bration is before the promotion finishes at the end of this month. For me, there is something very satisfying in the process of chopping up pretty papers and patchworking them back together again. These cards were made using the Sunny Days pack of Designer Series Paper, but the layout is really versatile and fits with almost any patterns. I have previously used it for swap cards with the Bright & Beautiful papers adding accents with the Circle Sayings stamps. You can see them here. On today's cards, the sentiment I have used is from the Hooray for Surprises stamp set - I think it's just right for thank you and encouragement cards. The Thoughtful Expressions dies are new to me and I was eager to give them a whirl. I could not resist the fluted edges, especially as they have stitching detail too. The Pool Party card has a twist of the Sale-A-Bration ribbon whilst the rainbow cards have Glittered Organdy ribbon as their accent. Both designs have added sparkle from a trio of Iridescent Rhinestones. I had so much fun making these cards, and I cannot wait to pop them in the post!
