International Highlights Winners Blog Hop - May 2022

Monday, 30 May 2022

I’m so excited to be featured in the the International Highlights Top Ten Winners Blog Hop hosted by Kylie Bertucci. I was selected to participate in this hop by finishing #6 in the May 2022 International Highlights. Thank you to everyone who voted for my Sun Prints Gatefold Card! You can check out my May Card here.

For my card I used the Stampin' Up! Sweetest Cherries Bundle. When I saw this bundle I knew it was one I had to have. I love cherries and I love the great sentiments and fonts in the stamp set. Check out this bright and cheery card I created in Sweet Sorbet, Basic Black and Parakeet Party.
