Heartfelt Blooms-Thinking of you Card

Heartfelt Blooms - Thinking of you Card


January 29, 2018

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to share this stunning card made with the FREE (with any $50 purchase from Stampin' Up) stamp set Heartfelt Blooms from the 2018 Sale a Brations Catalog. 
A little bit of a story to go with this card. I am presently making and collecting cards January 27th - February 24th for our military stationed in remote area's (CARDS for SOLDIERS DRIVE) where it isn't possible to just go to a store and buy a card to send to a loved one back home. A friend was donating cards to me and one of the cards she gave was similar to this, I thought this Heartfelt blooms stamp set would be perfect for it. If you would like any information on my CARDS for SOLDIERS DRIVE please click here
