Stamp of the Month Blog Hop -- Beloved Bouquet


Welcome to the January Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!


If you came from visiting Dana Kessler, then you are in the right place.  If you just happened upon my little corner of the blog world, simply start here and continue hopping until you return here -- our fun hop is one big loop for your viewing pleasure. 

The month's featured stamp set is S1601 Beloved Bouquet (pictured below).  This set is only available until January 31st and is only $5 with a $50 Close to My Heart purchase.



Now let's jump right into my project.  For today's hop, I made a double gatefold card.  It may look slightly complex from the pictures, but I assure you it comes together rather easily.  Check out my YouTube video below to see me fully assemble this card.
