Share It Sunday Blog Hop - September 2023

Sunday 24 September 2023

It's time for another Share It Sunday Blog Hop! We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world and we are sharing our projects with you as part of this blog hop. There is no theme for our blog hop today.

I'm in love with the Beary Christmas Suite from the September to December Mini Catalogue. I created this card on my recent Virtual Launch and had to share it. It's a faux step card which is one of my favourite fancy folds. So much easier than a Step card where you have to cut and score the paper. This is to separate pieces of paper and easy to assemble! You can check out the Instructions and Video below for all of the details

Isn't this card fun!

Instructions
