Hi Stampers!
Today I am sharing cards I created using the NATURE’S HARVEST BUNDLE and the beautifully versatile CORK SPECIALTY PAPER. I featured this bundle in my 19 August post, and of course it is prominent in this post, but my main focus today is the lovely CORK SPECIALTY PAPER. This paper is truly cork! It adds such a great natural element to all paper crafting projects.
Let’s take a look at the NATURE’S HARVEST BUNDLE.
