NEW Stampin’ Up! Mix & Match products (pp.18-21 of the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog) PLUS one key “ingredient” (Spotlight on Nature circle dies) are at the core of today’s masculine card. I have become a super fan of the Mix & Match Calming Creek Cards & Envelopes and pre-cut sentiments of the Mix & Match Saying Something Ephemera Pack (“Howdy”). The Spotlight on Nature Dies offer an assortment of circle sizes with darling details. “Zoom in” to discover the three different die cut edges!
The Saying Something Ephemera Pack of sentiments(below) fit perfectly inside a clear stamp case. I store them with the rest of my stamps. Learn more about how I organize my craft spaces here.
WHAT I LOVE! The Stampin’ Up! Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots are in an antique brass finish. They elevate the design with a touch of rustic charm, texture and shine! Giddyap!
