WHAT I LOVE. And there’s more . . . I’m also highlighting the Sweetly Scripted stamp set (another NEW on-line exclusive product) as a focal point on today’s card. The luscious layering of the long and lean sentiment with vellum, linen thread and a snippet of ribbon bring it to life but don’t distract from the gorgeous DSP pattern. The darling Natural Polka Dot Trim and Adhesive Backed Swirl Dots (offered in a combo of Pecan Pie shown, Petal Pink, White/Vanilla) are also NEW and the perfect coordinating “coffee-licious” touches.
Estimated Restock Week of April 8
