Earthen Textures- Thank You

I’m not sure what it is with me and blue vases! This is reminiscent of a kit we had a few years ago that I just loved! And you just can’t lose with blue and white- IMHO!

The Earthen Textures Bundle allows you to create floral arrangements for all your cards and for any occasion! The stamps are filled with detail, and there are several possibilities when it comes to adding color! Use the dies to get a crisp, clean-cut image that stands out. Add a quick sentiment from this set and you’ll have an elegant card for friends and family!

Carousel Happy Birthday

When I saw the Carousel Horses bundle, I knew I had to make some cards for Mum. She loves carousel horses so much she even once wrote a paper on their history. She has an antique real wooden carousel in their house. Did you know the wooden carved carousel horses were built with removeable ears? Yup. The ears were prone to breaking when transported, so they built them to be removed. Neato.

The Carousel Horses Bundle comes with Two-Step Stampin’ pieces, which means you can customize your carousel and horses however you want by mixing and matching manes, flowers, and saddles. The dies will cut out each of these pieces perfectly so you can add layers and depth to your crafts. It includes greetings for birthdays and celebratory sentiments for all your friends and family. This magical set is perfect for coloring and paper piecing techniques on projects for all your horse-loving friends!
