Stampin’ Up! Countryside Designer Series Paper (DSP) adds all the charm needed on today’s simple thank you card. Every pattern in the Countryside DSP collection, front and back, is truly a delight in Balmy Blue, Boho Blue, Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy. TIP: Consider placement before you cut designer series paper. I wanted to be sure not to cover up any of the adorable foxes with my sentiment and did a little pre-planning. The foxes are the stars of this pattern!
WHAT I LOVE! I keep reaching for the Stampin’ Up! Sweetly Scripted stamp set (one of My Favorite Things). Lovin’ the long, “stretch limo” style, darling font and versatility for many occasions. Sweetly Scripted stamp set is a limited release and only available on-line (not in a catalog). See all available on-line exclusives.
