Hi all,

Hope you've been having a lovely long Bank Holiday weekend. Just wanted to drop by with some recent sneak peeks for my next Stampin' Up! Class held next weekend.

The cards feature the lovely new stamp set from the Mini Catalogue called Baby Blossoms, teamed up with the Textured Impressions Perfect Polka Dot Embossing Folder which just adds that little bit to create texture. The lovely Seam Binding Ribbon is just gorgeous, couldn't help but buy all three colours! lol.

Anyway, here are a few sneak peeks of the cards the ladies will be making next week. If you'd like to join us, please let me know as I have one more space available.
