Flowers for Every Season – Casually Crafting Design Team Blog Hop March

Welcome to Casually Crafting Blog Hop. 

The Casually Crafting Design Team is made up of a group of Independent Stampin’ Up! ® Demonstrators from around the word, that enjoy sharing our take on casual crafting. We’ll be sharing what we love with you every 3rd Saturday morning of each month on our websites.

Today’s Blog Hop is about keeping it simple …What if you don’t have a Cut & Emboss Machine as yet, how can you make a simple card with a few products.

Flowers for Every Season

My card today uses the Flowers for Every Seasons Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up! ®. The sentiment stamped on a punched circle which was lightly stamped using one of the floral stamps from the Jar of Flowers Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up! ®.
