Right Sized Labels

You can be sure to get the right sized labels when you use the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch featured in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. It can be so challenging when you have to try and size labels yourself.  We always want to have the best look on our cards and projects.  This new tool is a must have.  You can see a great video Stampin’ Up! released below and judge for yourself.  I know you will love it. 

It coordinates and bundles with the Lovely You stamp set featured below.  You can view them all here.

The new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog is full of lots of products just like these.  I love this new tool and all that it can do.  The bundle is perfect for sending a special sentiment and message to all your loved ones.  Now you can have the right sized labels to go with any special greeting.

Morning Florals

Who wouldn’t love some morning florals to brighten their day?   The Good Morning Magnolia stamp set has coordinating products that help you bring a smile to any face.  When they open the card or the box, they know you took the time to create it just for them.  It’s such a feeling of accomplishment for you and love for them.  If you are like me, you love bringing a smile to everyone’s face.  I feel like it’s so nice to reach out to those we love, especially now.
