Welcome to Team Stamp It’s February Blog Hop! Thanks so much for joining us! This month, we feature cards and projects with a spring theme. Be sure to visit all the participating stampers to gain a host of paper crafting inspiration. Leave a comment on each blog for a chance to win a Painted Wishes Card Kit.
For me, spring means tulips. (Even though tulips are not a “thing” here in Arizona. I grew up in the Midwest where we eagerly awaited the first tulips poking through the dirt.) I use Stampin’ Up!’s Mixed Florals Photopolymer Stamp Set as the focal point of today’s card. Look for it as one of Stampin’ Up!’s Online Exclusives. If you haven’t checked out the Online Exclusives, I highly recommend you do so. It includes so many fun products not included in the catalogs. Click here to check them all out.
