Sending You Lots of Love

Lots of layers come together in this quick & easy project, easily replicable using your own supplies, or check out the shopping list to recreate as designed.

Create handmade cards with fun surprises using the Hooray for Surprises Bundle! Stamp an image, then add a die-cut element for a surprise: a zip strip that tears away to reveal a message, or a die cut with peek-throughs to show a teeny bit of what’s underneath.
