Create a Birthday Card with a Modern Garden Style!

Today’s birthday card highlights the Modern Garden Bundle, one of my favorite, favorite parts of the new Stampin’ Up! Garden Walk Suite Collection.  The bundle and collection will be available for purchase Sept. 6.  Meanwhile, I plan to dazzle you with sneak peeks of their awesomeness and versatility!

WHAT I LOVE! The Garden Walk Suite and Modern Garden bundle are the essence of chic and simple style. The products coordinate impeccably.  However, the crowning jewel is the Modern Oval Punch, which is a “go to” for cropping sentiments.

The gorgeous combination of Poppy Parade, Wild Wheat, and Pretty Peacock was shared on my Tuesday post along with other color combos here.
