Today’s card was created with the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics stamp and die bundle (save 10% when you buy the bundle)! It pulls together in minutes and the dies do all the “heavy lifting” for you.
WHAT I LOVE! It’s the little things that can dial up the most WOW! to a card. The trio of silver dots are the perfect “punctuation” for the sentiment. They tie beautifully to the Silver & White Sheer Ribbon, which is a delight to tie in a bow and an absolutely stunning detail!
The Christmas Classics Bundle is part of the Joy of Christmas Suite Collection, one of My Favorite Things from the Stampin’ Up! 2023 Holiday Catalog! Purchase the Joy of Christmas Suite Collection while you can, it’s retiring as of January 3 and ONLY AVAILABLE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!
