Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, the theme is CASE the Catalog. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I chose to CASE (Copy and Share with Everyone) the card below using the Wonderful Thoughts Bundle. You can find it on page 41 of the Stampin’ Up! 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.
WHAT I LOVE! Night of Navy looks so crisp with white and soft pops of color. However, the star of the show is the die cut background. Those five “rectangles” were cut and embossed with a label die from the Wonderful Thoughts Dies collection.
