For today's post, I wanted to share a card that I received at a Stampin' Up! event – not sure who created it as there was no name on the back of it (bummer!). This will be one of the projects that my club members will be making at my May stamp clubs. Instead of the designer series paper shown in the sample, we will be substituting the Sweet Dreams designer series paper from the 2015 Occasions catalog as the one shown here is retired. Isn't is cool that you can just change a paper and the card will look totally different?!
Don't forget to check out the 2015 Retiring Stamp set and Accessories List – as the Flower Frenzy die is retiring and you can purchase it at 50% off – Woo Hoo!
I LOVE HEARING FROM YOU! Do you have a question about today’s card or a comment to share? Please leave me a comment at the end of this post (Under Comments) and I’ll respond soon.
