Here is an alternative I made using some of the included elements:

Look at all the items included in this kit!  And the font of that "Merry Christmas" is gorgeous! I'll be using that Merry Christmas all making season long.

June 2026 ICS Blog Hop Fabulous Folders

 

Happy June!  Welcome to the June 2026 Inspire Create Share Blog Hop, where we are showcasing some of Stampin' Up!'s fabulous embossing folders.  #icsbloghop

I am showcasing the Floral Spray 3D Embossing Folder on these two cards.  I feel like you almost don't need anything but a sentiment to go with this floral spray that covers the whole card front.  But whether you make it the star of the card or a supporting player, it is fabulous!  

Thank you for checking out what this gorgeous embossing folder can do by stopping at my blog.  Please go check out my fellow demonstrators and their gorgeous creations!

Happy crafting!  Please let me know if you'd like more information on any of the products used on  these two cards.

Hugs,
