When a “statement” card is on your radar, reach for the beautifully coordinated products of the Stampin’ Up! Fancy Flora suite. The Fancy Flora bundle is on the list of My Favorite Things from the Spring mini catalog! It’s definitely a “must-have” combo.
WHAT I LOVE! The Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper is absolutely stunning. The impressionist style patterns mimic the look of bold paint strokes and feel OH, SO “Monet-like.”
