Coordinating Products Together

The Daisy Lane Bundle is one of the new bundles available from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog.  Bundles are a great way to save a little money and get coordinating products together.  I love being able to also have a video showing the products working together.  Below is a video released by Stampin’ Up! showcasing the Daisy Lane Bundle.  Take a look.  

Having the option of a bundle is always a bonus in my book.  This bundle is available in my online store here.  You can always add any products to the bundle for more color or designing options. 

Happy Stamping!

 

 

Hostess Exclusive

Take a look at this hostess exclusive set – Believe You Can.  The flowers are a great way to add so much color to the card.  Or, in the case of this card, create an interesting background.  The thank you banner is a nice touch right in the middle of the card to create the perfect focal point.
