Demonstrator Blog Hop - December 2023

Monday 11 December 2023

Today I'm hopping with other Demonstrators around the world sharing Thank You cards. I make a lot of Thank You cards as I share them with customers each month. Check out this pretty card featuring the Emboss Resist Technique.

Emboss Resist is one of my favourite techniques and the leaf from the Inked & Tiled Stamp Set is perfect to show off. Isn't this card pretty in the greens?
