It’s day two of my week of Simple WOW! Holiday Cards (four projects in all) and I’m excited to share a card highlighted by one of my favorite products from the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog, Merry, Bold & Bright Designer Paper (retiring soon). It’s hip, modern and has numerous patterns that work beautifully for other occasions where you need some splash!
Please ORDER RETIRING & PRODUCTS SOON since last chance products are ONLY available while supplies last. Don’t miss the discounts on select products.
WHAT I LOVE! A classy, little pattern like these modern green trees are the perfect background for a simple sentiment. I’m smitten with the detailed border of the “joy” circle. The Brightest Glow stamp set (“joy”) and coordinating Labels Aglow dies are retiring soon, too.
LAST CHANCE! The Merry Bold & Bright Suite Collection is RETIRING and only available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!
