Create Pretty Patterns & Shapes with Stampin’ Up! Nested Essentials Dies

Create this You Are the Best Card with the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper and the Nested Essentials Dies by Stampin' Up!

The Stampin’ Up! Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper (now 15% off) comes to life when cropped with the small (layered pattern) and large coordinating dies from the Nested Essentials Dies.

WHAT I LOVE !  Kiss.  Kiss.  The chic combination of Berry Burst and Pretty Peacock (both returning Stampin’ Up! Colors – learn more here) has become a “go to” for me!
