The Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Kisses Suite (including the Best Butterflies Bundle) has a touch of spring, a touch of whimsy and a big dose of coordinating WOW! It is one of My Favorite Things from the Stampin’ Up! Annual catalog!
WHAT I LOVE! I can’t express enough how delightful it is to crop and assemble the butterfly wings and body using the Best Butterflies dies. So much colorful personality for spring!
