Charming Sentiment "Thank You" Pleated Card Blog Hop for February, 2024

Thank you for joining us for the Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Blog Hop!

I'm super excited to have you hop along and gather ideas and creative inspiration. We're a group of Stampin' Up demonstrators from around the world who are collaborating together to learn, share and grow our Stampin' Up businesses, and we all 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 jump from blog to blog easily. Make sure you check out all of the amazing projects!

So, remember, if you place an order with me, this is one of the cards you will receive to thank you for your purchase.

This month, I have used the Charming Sentiment for my customer thank you cards. That’s right! For my wonderful customers who shop with me during February, 2024, you will receive a sampling of these products in the form of a hand-made thank you card from me. How exciting!

That's right, if you place any order with me this month, I will send you one of these very thank you card to show you how much I appreciate your business. I started with using the Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon cardstocks for the base of my cards, then adding a layer of the new Perennial Lavender DSP. Here are the rest of the instructions for my cards:

Stamp Set: Charming Sentiment

Cardstock: Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon, Basic White, Perennial Lavender DSP, Paper Butterfly Accents

Ink: Gorgeous Grape, Pretty Peacock

Other: Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Paper Trimmer, Simply Scoring Tool, Sentiment Silhouettes Dies that match, Lost Lagoon Bordered Ribbon, Purple Fine Shimmer Gems, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Tear and Tape, Scotch tape, Blending Brushes

1. The base of the card is either Pretty Peacock or Lost Lagoon cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.

2. The next layer is the Perennial Lavender DSP and on the first card, it is cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and the second card is cut at 3-3/4” x 5”.

3. The pleated card part was made with the DSP and is cut at 4” x 7. Use the Simply Scoring Tool or the Paper Trimmer to score at ½”, 1-1/2”, 2”, 3” 3-1/2”, 4-1/2”, 5”, 6” – 6-1/2”. On the back of the pleated paper, use Scotch tape to hold them in place. On the front, use Multipurpose Liquid Glue between each pleat. Let dry!

4. Once dry, wrap ribbon around the pleats and secure in the back with Tear and Tape. Then adhere to the Pretty Peacock cardstock cut at 2-3/4” x 4-1/4” with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Apply Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and place on the front of the card.

5. With a Blending Brush, color the butterfly accents with Gorgeous Grape and Pretty Peacock ink. Adhere to the card with Multipurpose Glue on its body.

6. Add three Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.

7. Ink up the thank you with either Gorgeous Grape or Pretty Peacock inks on Basic White cardstock. Die-cut with the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies and adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
