Loveliest Tree Card Samples

Loveliest Tree Card Samples

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.
