Create With Stamping Friends Challenge Saturday Blog Hop

Simply Leaves & Textured Tree!

It’s Saturday Blog Hop time at Create With Stamping Friends and our theme this week is to feature our new favorite online exclusives products that will debut on July 1st. I chose the Simple Leaves Bundle!

You can stamp so many different leaves with the stamp set and the pretty embossed background is from the Textured Tree Embossing Folder. I swiped my ink pad over the embossing bumps, added my cardstock inside the folder and this is what the result was!

• Stamps: Simply Leaves
• Cardstock: Timid Tiger, Early Espresso, Pecan Pie, Basic White
• Designer Paper: Frightfully Fun
