Thoughtful Blooms; punch art vase & flowers!

March 19, 2020

I made this cute, springy card on Facebook Live yesterday. It features the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set and Small Bloom punch. Both are free right now with an order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.

That cute vase is made with the Tailored Tag punch. Punch from patterned paper and cut it in half!

You can see all of our free products here on the Sale-a-Bration page. The Thoughtful Blooms stamp set is full of cute floral images and sweet greetings.

Save

It coordinates with the Small Bloom punch seen here. *This punch may return in the annual catalog this summer but you can get it free now!

I used a bit of the Brights 6 X 6" designer series paper. That's where the cute gingham designs come from. Did you know we have gingham paper in every single color right now? Each of our 6 color families have an assorted package with every color in the pack! So cool! The photo only shows one color but includes them all. See them all here.
