Today’s friend card duo highlights the power of pretty designer series paper and offers a sneak peek of the Needlepoint Nook suite of products (Occasions Catalog) and the Part of My Story Cling Stamp (Sale-A-Bration). Here’s my Occasions & Sale-A-Bration sneak peek video reveal for a closer look at these and other new products. Both begin Jan. 3.
I put the two Needlepoint Nook patterns on the card above together and did a private Facebook Live with my Stampin’ Pretty Pals Community to select the pattern possibilities for the second butterfly card. Thanks, Pals, for your creative input.
