Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Hugs for Love Make Me Smile Card

Posted on January 21, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Good morning good morning! Hope your week is going well – and it’s not TOO cold where you are. We’re….really cold. And looking for – maybe! – some snow this afternoon. Schools here have closed pre-emptively so…we’ll see if that was a good decision! Meanwhile – just cold and windy!

My card today goes back to what I consider my go-to fun fold. No – I didn’t NEED to do a fun fold today but…it’s such an EASY fold that I thought…let’s do it! It is – of course! – a book-fold card. And it’s the perfect choice for some Wildflower Birthday Specialty DSP and…a sentiment and punched shapes from the new Hugs for Love Punch Bundle. This is a bundle you might have overlooked in the new Jan-Apr 2025 Mini catalog – but..hopefully this card will have you taking another gander. Take a look-see:

But – it all comes together like it was…meant to be! Take a look-see:
