Nuts & Bolts -Not just for Valentines!

Welcome to my blog!  If you missed yesterday's blog then you missed me saying that I am posting several cards I designed with products from the 2022 Jan-June Mini catalog by Stampin Up® that will be retiring at the end of this month.  I am super sad to see this one go as it is an adorable set.

Now this set does seem to be geared towards valentines but you can give a card like this anytime to someone who you are "Nuts About".  Plus it will bring a smile to anyone who opens that envelope!

I brought in some old favorites to help design this card the Layering Circle Dies.  As far as I am concerned these dies are a staple that everyone should have in their card making arsenal!

Below you will find the card cuts, instructions, supply list and a video link.

Remember this set will only be available for a few more weeks so if you like it don't delay in ordering!
