I received the most beautiful handmade card from t I received the most beautiful handmade card from the incredibly talented Concept Artists Team @stampinupofficial . The details and layers are stunning. It features the Lovely Arrangements Bundle from the Lovely Blossoms Suite so perfectly with soft florals, elegant layers, and that timeless beauty we all love. I adore how they used the dies on this card layout and how they paired it with the Square Snippet DSP. There’s something extra special about happy mail. Thank you for the inspiration and the reminder of why we love to create and share handmade art 🤍 #HappyMail #HandmadeCard #LovelyArrangements #LovelyBlossomsSuit #stampinupcanada
This weekend, I was honoured to present to over 70 This weekend, I was honoured to present to over 700 demonstrators at the Connect & Create Demonstrator Event. I’m sharing a sneak peek of a stationery set that I designed featuring @stampinupofficial ‘s Lovely Blossoms Suite Collection. I made a purse holder and four cards, shared tips and tricks. My favorite part was being in the “hot seat” for the Q & A session with Emma. I’m hosting a similar class in my studio with this beautiful suite since I love it so much. #lovelyblossoms #stampinupcanada #connectandcreate #stampinupofficial #stampinup
