Technique Tuesday Blog Hop - Simple Stamping

Tuesday, 2 July 2024

Time for another Technique Tuesday Blog Hop. This month our theme is "Simple Stamping". Ink, Paper and stamps!

I always struggle with simple stamping, but when I finished, I always love the result! For my card today, I pulled out a technique I haven't used in a long time - stamping with a clear block. Check out this pretty card featuring the Spotlight on Nature Stampset from the 2024-2026 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. I love how it turned out!
