Let’s start the paper crafting conversation for today’s spring thank you card with the Stampin’ Up! Conversation Bubbles bundle. Could these charming bubbles be any cuter for sharing a quick, heartfelt message?
WHAT I LOVE! Fresh Freesia, Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green deliver a fresh and modern pastel palette for spring!
NEED SKETCH INSPIRATION? The layout of today’s friend card was inspired by the newest addition to my Stampin’ Pretty Sketchbook, Sketch #61, which I shared on Tuesday!
