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!
