I've been working on some 3" x 3" cards and I had a thought... I wonder what else I could use the little square envelopes for?

Just recently I ordered the Love You To Pieces Stamp Set, and coordinating Puzzle Pieces Thinlits Dies from Stampin' Up! I was inspired as soon as I saw these in the 2017/2018 Annual Catalogue, and in many ways, too inspired. In the end I decided to begin by channelling my ideas using a couple of design challenges. BRIGHT COLOURS I began with the background, using the large puzzle piece outline ... VIEW POST
