Thank You Blog with the Bertucci's - May 2022

April Showers Bring May Flowers

If you love flowers, you'll love the new Stampin' Up!© 2022 - 2023 Annual Catalog!  It's filled with gorgeous bundles of flowers...flowers in bouquets, flowers on tea cups, flowers in bottles, fields of flowers, single blossoms, ladybugs and butterflies with flowers, even pigs resting in flowers!  The cards you can create with flowers are only limited by your imagination! 

Welcome to Bruno and Kylie Bertucci's Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop.  I'm sure you'll see lots of beautiful flowering cards as you travel through this blog.

The Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Blog Hop is created through the Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Training Program provided by Bruno and Kylie Bertucci.  The blog hop offers you beautiful stamping ideas and creative inspiration from over 40 Stampin' Up! International Demonstrators.  Many of the Demonstrators will be using the new products found in the new 2022 - 2023 Annual Catalog.  

We, Demonstrators, participate in the training program provided by the Bertucci's to help us build a successful Stampin' Up! business and to reach some goals we have set for ourselves.  We really appreciate your support.

The first two cards shown below were created with the 2021 and 2022 In Colors.  The base card used Sweet Sorbet card stock and the second layer uses Polished Pink card stock along with with the Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the Awash in Beauty paper pack. 

For the first card, I cut the Designer Series Paper to cover 2/3 of the base card area.  The other 1/3 of the layer is made of Polished Pink card stock.  I added the Basic White wreath from the Sun Prints Dies.  I stamped the flowers using Sweet Sorbet ink and cut them out with the same dies.  Although the card was pretty, I felt it was too busy and it was difficult to see the wreath.

So for the second card (below) I reversed the size of the card stock and DSP.  The card appears easier to read. A simple change created a totally different card.

Therefore, the next time you make a card and are not happy with the appearance, try changing the size of the papers and see if that solves the problem. As a paper crafter, you learn that not all combinations of ink color, papers, die cuts and sentiment placement always work together.  Don't just give up after creating one card, try combinations using the same design but change the paper proportions, ink color, or placement of the die cuts.  You may find the results can be very different. 

Below is the card I previously posted using different paper, ink colors and sentiment. Using grey and blue colors, the feeling of the card is very different.  

Keep creating and discover new creations using the same products in different colors  becoming totally different cards!
