Demonstrator Training Blog Hop - February 2023 Customer Thank You

Monday, 13 February 2023

I'm excited to be training with Bruno and Kylie again this year and participating in our monthly Blog Hop with amazing Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. The purpose of the group is for the group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators that are part of the program...to share ideas and to learn from each other...to help us in our Stampin' Up! Business. Our theme for our blog hop each month is "Thank You" and I've created this beautiful card using the new Nested Friends Bundle from the Stampin' Up! January to April Mini Catalogue.

I love this bundle. The nest is absolutely amazing - whether you stamp the nest or die cut a nest! One of my favourite colour combinations is Pool Party and Early Espresso. I hope my customers will like receiving this card for orders placed in February!

I created this card during one of my weekly Sketch Challenges that I share live on Tuesdays at 6:30 pm Pacific. Join me!

Here's the sketch I used. I switched up the cardbase for my card and used a piece that was 5 1/2" x 8 1/2".

Now here's my card.
