Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
Happy Holidays! This month, the theme is Winter Wonderland. We hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
WHAT I LOVE! The soft focus of vellum card stock elevates a card’s style in a flash. I cropped the vellum circle with a 2 3/8” Punch and used Stampin’ Dimensionals between the tag and the vellum and the vellum and the designer series paper to make the vellum layer more visible.
