June 2021 Monthly Blog Hop

 

Hi, and welcome!  It's time for this month's blog hop!

Thank you for joining us for our Stampin' Up!® Demonstrators Monthly Team Blog Hop!  We are so happy that you could join us today for ideas and creative inspiration.

We are a group of Stampin' Up!®  Demonstrators from around the world who 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.  Don't miss a single one!  

 

We've created cards to thank our wonderful customers for their amazing support of our businesses, especially during the past year when we mostly could not meet in person.  We are so very grateful.

My card, then, expresses that sentiment. 

Take a look - just Stamps, Ink, and Paper - as we like to say, a "SIP" of crafting fun.

Here are the details:

Card base:  Granny Apple Green card stock, 8 1/2" x 4 1/4", fold at 4 1/4" - I love the square card format!  Do you?  It still fits into a standard envelope for mailing, which is great!

Stamped Panel:  Basic White CS, 3 7/8" x 3 7/8".

Stamp sets:  

• Forever Grapevine stamps.  There are also coordinating dies, Grapevine Dies - see the pretty vine die-cut on my previous blog.  Save 10% when you purchase the stamps+dies Bundle - see them HERE.
• Stamp set for sentiments:  Create With Friends.   Isn't that a great name for the set?  Who doesn't love creating with friends?!  I love the fonts in this set.  

Steps to create:

I used my Stamparatus to get perfect placement of the image and sentiments.

Stamp the grapevine image in Memento Tuxedo Black onto the Basic White CS panel.

Stamp the sentiments using Evening Evergreen ink - it's a beautiful dark green ink.

Color in the grapevine using Stampin' Blends (Light Flirty Flamingo & Dark Highland Heather for the grapes; Light & Dark Granny Apple Green for the leaves & vines).

Adhere the stamped piece to the card base.

Inside:

Stamp the leaf image in black or Evening Evergreen ink; color with Blends (granny apple green).  Stamp the sentiment in Highland Heather ink.

Envelope:

Stamp the vine image around the flap in black or Evening Evergreen ink; color as before.

There you have it.  What do you think?   Click HERE to see all supplies used. 

Thank you for visiting my blog as part of our Demonstrators' Monthly Blog Hop.  I'd love to hear what you think - hope you'll leave me a comment.   

And now, please continue on with the list below, to see all the beautiful, creative projects from this great group of Demonstrators that I am so happy to join with on the Blog Hop!

Take care,  JULIE ❤
