If you have ever placed an order with me you will know that I love to send a Thank You card to my customers. If you have ever shopped using my Code Club Code, you will know that you guys get even more! I just LOVE to spoil my customers, you are all awesome, and I wouldn’t be here without you.
I made a stack of these Thank You cards last week for the ladies that attended my Catalogue Launch Party at the beginning of the month. They also got cake and a notebook on the night too.
These cards feature the stamp set that is going to be my Stamp of the Month in July – Fresh Fruit! I have been LOVING making heaps of samples using this set, saying that there is fruit to be seen here! Just pretty flowers…
The colour combination was totally inspired by the matching Designer Series Paper – Fruit Stand – and I have used Peekaboo Peach, Pear Pizzazz, Daffodil Delight and Watermelon Wonder on these cards. The Thank You was stamped first in Peekaboo Peach and masked off using a bit of sticky note, then the flower and leaves were added, and the cards finished with a strip of Designer Series Paper.

Stampin’ Up! UK Independent Demonstrator
This card is so fun! I will admit that this Flamingo stumped me when I first came across it in the catalogue. I have had the catalogue in my hands since mid-April, when I attended Stampin’ Up! On Stage, and the girls I was sat with that day will tell you I have absolutely no idea what happened on the stage as I couldn’t pull my eyes away from the catalogue, pen in hand, making notes of things for all of you! But this flamingo, which comes in a set that also includes a Pineapple, had me baffled! And then it appeared in the very short list available for demonstrators available to pre-order, and I didn’t buy it, but then my Facebook and Pinterest feeds filled up with Flamingos, and somehow this dude ended up on my stamp shelf! So, I have it, I MUST use it!
The Flamingo was coloured using the In-Colour Stampin’ Write markers in Flirty Flamingo and Peekaboo Peach. I did a test stamp onto Whisper White, and this effect was just gorgeous, I will probably share that at some point – but not today. The Designer Series Paper on the side of the watercolour paper comes from two different packs (sorry!) the Black stripes are from the Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack, and the other piece with the beautiful gold confetti is from the new Pop of Pink Speciality Designer Series Paper, so super pretty.
Its that time again, I am so excited to see what everyone has made based on the sketch this month! I have chosen to use some Designer Series Paper that is on the retiring list and will sadly leave us on 31st May, but I am sure that some of the girls will show me some sneaky peaks of new products, and I cannot wait!
Once I had created the card I realised that it wouldn’t fit in a standard envelope, and so grabbed another piece of the same Designer Series paper and my Envelope Punch Board to create custom envelope.
I completed the envelope with a belly band of Night of Navy card stock (26 x 5 cm, Scored on the long side at 11, 12.5, 23.5 and 25 cm). The sentiment is heat embossed in white, and the flowers and butterfly are taken from the Garden in Bloom Stamp set.
