Today, I made a cute window card using the Cup of Tea Bundle paired with the Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper from the 2022 – 2023 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. There are a variety of ways to make window cards. For this card, I chose to cut a circle using the Layering Circle Dies in a layer I adhered to the front of the card. I, almost always, coordinate my colors with those found in the Designer Series Paper. Today’s cards combine some of the “old” with the “new!”
