I admit, the Hello Beautiful Bundle in the January – June 2022 Mini Catalog was not on my original “wish list!” But something, kept drawing me back for a second look. I started thinking about adding backgrounds to my greetings and the possibilities for using the different die shapes. So, I decided to take a chance and ordered the bundle without any regrets.
The Hello Beautiful Bundle has matching Designer Series Paper, “Abstract Beauty.” This paper is absolutely, gorgeous! Many of the pieces are inlaid with gold. This is one of Stampin’ Up!’s papers that can do the work for you. The fact that the paper is pre-cut in 4″x6″ sheets make it perfect for layering.
