With so many brand-new products to choose from in Stampin’ Up!’s 2024-2025 Annual Catalog, I didn’t know where to start! Trust me, so many sets and bundles caught my eye.
For my monthly card classes this month, I chose the Loveliest Tree Bundle. Why?
- It’s a great price point at $36 for the stamp set and coordinating dies.
- The Loveliest Tree stamp set offers just the right sentiments: sympathy, thank you, birthday, and congratulations.
- It lends itself well to creating masculine cards — or cards for anyone.
- It’s perfect for using a host of techniques.
Today, I’m sharing three cards we created during the class this last week.
