Lavish Tree Greeting

Dec 21, 2018 | Birthday, Fall, Shop, Stampin Up | 0 comments

Create a lavish tree greeting for your family and friends with the Rooted in Nature stamp set.  I love creating landscapes with stamp sets.  You can use your imagination to it’s fullest.  But this set uses the Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper for the background which takes it to a whole new level.  You can use this stamp set any time of year.

  2. Run SNAIL along DSP seam and adhere Crumb Cake ribbon. Attach to back of cardstock with SNAIL.
