Stampin’ Up! Hugs for Love & Bright Borders Trio of Cards

A Trio of Handmade Cards with Stampin' Up! Hugs for Love Bundle and Bright Borders Stamp Set
It was so great to do a Facebook Live again, after recent surgery and time to heal!  I featured two different stamp sets that both coordinate with a new punch – On Point.   I love punch bundles and love that for this punch, we have not one but two stamp sets that coordinate!   I paired the stamped, punched images with some gorgeous Designer Series Papers for some simple, quick but lovely cards!
If you’d like the measurements for these cards, they can be found on the FB Live recording!
