Since moving to Arizona more than two years ago, I’ve gained a newfound love for everything cactus. In my head, I imagined that deserts and cactus were dry and dull. This is far from true. The majestic saguaros are absolutely amazing. And in the spring, the cactus come alive with blooms of many and various colors.
When Stampin’ Up! releases a new cactus stamp set, I’m sure to place it in my collection. I love the Cactus Cuties Bundle that includes the Cactus Cuties Stamp Set and Cactus Builder Punch. Buy them as a bundle and save 10 percent. Find it on pages 66 and 67 of Stampin’ Up!’s January-June 2022 Mini Catalog.
