Stampin’ Up! announced at the beginning of July that it was time to celebrate World Watercolor month and even though July is over, dust off your watercolor pencils as I have a fab idea using the Stylish Sketches stamp set from SALE-a-bration.
I also wanted to use the Kraft Note Cards and Envelopes set and was thrilled to discover the gift box included with this set! It makes the perfect gift!
Every great card needs a great base. These Kraft Note Cards & Envelopes get your cards off to a fast start. Precut and scored, they're ready for you to make and send a card. Want to keep it simple? Just stamp an image on the card front. Want to step it up? Stamp, then add embellishments like jewels, ribbon, die cuts—anything you want. The envelopes are also stampable, so don't forget to dress them up, too. These cards and envelopes come in a kraft storage box that you can use to store completed cards.
Check out how to use the Stylish Sketches stamp set to create a Gift Box set!
