International Highlights Blog Hop - May 2022 - Sun Prints Gatefold Card



I'm excited to participate again in Kylie's Monthly International Blog Highlights for May. The theme is "Thank You" and I've created a Gatefold Fancy Fold card featuring the Stampin' Up! Sun Prints Product Suite from the 2022-2023 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue.  Isn't this a beautiful suite!

Check out this pretty card!

  9. Stamp large leaf and fern leaf and sentiment on Night of Navy card stock using Versamark ink.
