Stampin’ Up! Fern & Flora Sincere Thanks

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week has started off well. I’m convinced that we are going to go right from this cold weather to the 90’s and miss spring all together. I’m so ready for warmer temps, but I was hoping to get them gradually.

Today I played more beautiful products from the May-August 2026 Catalog. I got this set at OnStage in March, and it’s become one of my favorites very quickly. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.
