Stampin’ Through the Catalog Guest Designer!
My friends asked me to a guest designer for Stampin’ Through the Catalog and I jumped at the chance! I love everything they do and was excited to be a part of it. #stampinup #cardmaking #stamping #guestdesigner #stampinhoot #papercrafting #STTCchallenge
The stamp set I used was Tasteful Textures Item 149234, from page 135 of the Stampin’ Up! 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. It is also available as a 10% off bundle, Item 151081, which includes the coordinating Tasteful Background Dies!

The Tasteful Textures Bundle includes the Tasteful Textures Cling Stamp Set and the Tasteful Backgrounds Dies. Also available in French.
