Welcome to my blog! Today I have three cards all using the Encircled in Friendship bundle by Stampin Up® plus some friends?
These cards were a blast to design. I don't know about you but I sometimes forget to mix and match my stamp sets and dies. I tend to get in a rut and only use Stamps sets and dies that come in a bundle. So today I'm climbing out of my rut and playing with several sets all together. I hope you enjoy them!
Don't forget if you'd like to be notified when I post a new blog just add your email to the right under the follow me section and you will know each time I add a new card!
At the end of the post I will add the link for the video I did with all of these cards so be watch for it!
So here we go! First up is the Encircled in Friendship paired up with Party Pattern Designer Series Paper and the In Bloom Stamp set. For this card I wanted to design my own background for the die cut out!
