Stamping With Friends Blog Hop - Retiring Products

Saturday 3 December 2022

Welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop as we share what projects we are currently working on to inspire you! You will be visiting with our Design Team Members as they share their wonderful projects and ideas to help spark your creativity. This time our theme is "retiring products from the July to December Mini Catalogue". I decided to make a new fancy fold card - a stand up Gate Fold Card. I receive a swap card from Becky Hahn at Stampin' Up! OnStage in Vienna that used this fold and I loved it.

Today I've used the Stampin' Up! Decorated with Happiness Bundle along with Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper. Both of these are retiring! Your chance to add them to your stash will end on January 5th! Get them before they are gone!
