Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop - September 2025 - So Many Leaves

Thursday, 11 September 2025

Today I'm hopping other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators in the Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop. The theme this month is "So Many Leaves". It was fun playing with reinkers to create a multi-coloured ink pad for the leaves on this card!

I used the Gathering Together Suite from the Stampin' Up!® Online Exclusives for my card! This suite is perfect for fall.
