Julie's Creative Stamping: Layers of Expressions in Ink

Welcome to my Blog today! I hope you enjoy creating and sending cards as much as I do!

For this card I used the Expressions in Ink suite by Stampin UP! This suite includes the Artistically Inked Bundle (Stamp set and dies), Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper and Expressions in Ink Ephemera Pack. I also added in the Best Year Stamp set for the sentiment on the inside of the card!
