Welcome to the November 2022 Candy Hearts Blog Hop! This month we’re sharing Holiday themed projects. We all know that Stampin’ Up! has lots of great Christmas products to choose from, but I wanted to show how easy it is to use Stampin’ Up! products to make a card, even though there isn’t a specific stamp set for it in the current catalogs. I used the Alphabest Bundle, Sentiment Silhouettes Dies, and Layering Circles Dies to create a Happy Kwanzaa card. Change the colors and add two more candles for a Hannukah card.
After reading my post, I hope you will hop to the next person on the list below. Be sure to hop around to see ALL the great projects the Candy Hearts have created for you!
