Candy Canes Card Tutorial
I was excited to receive this Candy Canes background stamp on Stampin’ Up!’s Maui Incentive Trip. When I saw the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog, it ranked at the top of my list.
Since then, I’ve been finding a variety of creative ways to use this stamp set. See this blog post for other examples.
Today, I offer a free tutorial to create the card pictured above.
