Stamping With Friends Blog Hop - Being Thankful

Wednesday, 5 October 2022

Welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop as we share what projects we are currently working on to inspire you! You will be visiting with our Design Team Members as they share their wonderful projects and ideas to help spark your creativity. This time our theme is our choice from the "Being Thankful". My card features the two step stamping.

I've used 2 stamp sets - Stampin' Up! Treasured Kindness and Bamboo Beauty. I love how this card turned out. I think its perfect for the theme and could be perfect for both masculine and feminine birthdays.
