Share It Sunday Blog Hop - April 2024

Sunday 28 April 2024

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.

My card today features one of my favourite bundles from the upcoming 2024-2025 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue - Citrus Blooms. I was able to get this bundle at the OnStage After Hours event in March and I've been having so much fun playing with it. Isn't it pretty! You'll be able to order yours plus the coordinating products from the Mediterranean Blooms Suite starting on May 1st! Only a couple of more days! Woohoo!

Isn't this a pretty card!
