Sneak Peek: Sending Smiles and Tea Bouquet

I have been excited to share the new stamp sets, dies and papers that will debut on May 3, 2022. Today, I have a sneak peek of Sending Smiles and Tea Bouquet. While Sending Smiles and Tea Bouquet are not paired together in the catalog, they combination guarantees beautiful cards. I love the versatility of the stamp set with the “oversized print” of the word “Sending” paired with eight greetings for almost any occasion. The bright prints of Tea Bouquet Designer Series Paper is stunning, yet, fun!
