International Highlights Blog Hop - December 2023

Monday, 4 December 2023

I'm excited to participate again in Kylie's Monthly International Blog Highlights for December. Today I'm sharing a card I made using products from the Masterfully Made Suite along with the Patchwork Dies. I'm a quilter so it was fun to cut the Designer Series Paper into pieces and put it back together.

I made 3 versions of this card. Which is your favourite?

Here's the version using Bubble Bath as the card base. I love Bubble Bath and Berry Burst together!

Now the opposite with Berry Burst as the card base.

And now in Azure Afternoon and a different pattern of the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper for a recent swap.
