When I purchase a new paper crafting product such as a stamp set and/or bundle, I really try to stretch the set, making sure I make the most of the creative possibilities. It’s fun to experiment with the different elements of the set and des. This week, I played with Stampin’ Up!’s Loveliest Tree Bundle.
Not only do I love the price point of $36 for the bundle, but I appreciate the selection of sentiments it includes. Click here to see a post sharing three other card samples using this bundle, as well as a how-to video. (Just a quick note: Beginning June 5, 2024, all current Stampin’ Up! bundles will be on sale for 10 percent off. Be sure to take advantage of this month-long special.)
