Six squares of Stampin’ Up! Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper brings this clean & simple holiday card to life! I adore the modern pattern and style. Think of all the cardmaking possibilities for this layout with ANY designer series paper!
stampin’ up! Reindeer days: clean & simple holiday card
WHAT I LOVE! The “WISHING YOU A” sentiment (Greetings of the Season stamp set) invites you to take a peek at the coordinating sentiment (Peaceful Season stamp set) tucked inside. I anchored the interior sentiment with two elongated hexagons from Stampin’ Up! Nested Essentials Dies.
