Hi Stampers!
Today’s Stamp Happy Holidays post is just a tad different. We are going to take a peek at the FITTING FLORETS COLLECTION from Stampin’ Up!®️. This collection includes two stamp sets, a set of dies, DSP, and adhesive-backed embellishments. The collection is not exclusively Christmas oriented, but it includes a Christmas sentiment stamp set. The collection of coordinating products will be available beginning 1 November 2022. Today’s cards are all fairly straightforward. Five are Christmas cards and one is a birthday card. These cards can be made for any occasion by simply changing the greeting. Let’s take a look at my sample cards:
FRAMED FLORETS STAMP SET
FRAMED FLORETS DIES
FRAMED & FESTIVE STAMP SET
FITTING FLORETS 12” x 12” DSP

These products will be available for order beginning 1 November 2022.

The Framed and Festive stamp set, Fitting Florets DSP, and the Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls will be available from 1 November 2022 - 4 January 2023, or while supplies last.
