Sharing a handcrafted sympathy card with someone who needs support can mean so much. I’m fond of using fresh colors that will evoke happiness and hope.
WHAT I LOVE! The Coastal Cabana tone on tone texture created with the Gorgeous Gardens Dies is a showstopper. It looks like uber rich embossing! So chic!
MY FAVORITE THINGS! The Gorgeous Garden Dies are part of My Favorite Things from the Stampin’ Up! 2023-2024 Annual Catalog! You can read all about what makes them My Favorite Things here.
