International Project Highlights Blog Hop - November 2023

Monday 6 November 2023

I'm excited to participate again in Kylie's Monthly International Blog Highlights for November. My card today features the new Meandering Meadows Suite that is an Online Exclusive available starting on November 7th.

I had fun creating a gatefold card with this suite. The Designer Series Paper is stunning and creates the perfect scene through the arch way. Did you know that the artist at Stampin' Up! that created these beautiful images painted tiny painting for each of the Designer Series Paper scenes? Wow! Makes the paper even more special!

Isn't this a pretty card! I love the bright cheery flowers in the background.

Instructions

Cut Early Espresso cardstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8". Fold the scorelines in on both sides and burnish with a Bone Folder to form card base.
Lay the arch die on the front evenly spaced on each side of the opening. Hold it in place on one side using Post It Note Tape or Washi Tape or a Post It Note.
