International Highlights Blog Hop - April 2023
I'm excited to participate again in Kylie's Monthly International Blog Highlights for April. Today's card features the the Stampin' Up! Tropical Leaf Bundle. I love this leaf in this bundle - my friend Nancy tells me it is a Monstera leaf. The punch included in the bundle is amazing - I love punches!
I'm sure there is a name for this fancy fold, but I'm not sure what it is. I'll call it a folding box card. It's so pretty in Old Olive with a pop of gold.
