I have to confess the Stampin’ Up! To Market Designer Series Paper (DSP) didn’t initially grab my attention. However, when I did a live, virtual mystery stamping event recently with my Stampin’ Pretty Pals Community, I challenged myself to use three of the To Market DSP patterns. WOW! I’m so happy with the mix of these three patterns, including those darling tomato vines! The essence of summer!
WHAT I LOVE! Could the “I’m so glad you exist” sentiment be any more adorable? It’s from the Saying Hey stamp set which I think of as a “little black dress” of everyday messages. The long, skinny sentiment fits neatly inside one of the two dies in the Happy Little Things die set (only $12 and ON SALE when you purchase the Happy Little Things bundle).
