Adorable Owls for Sale-A-Bration!

Hello and welcome to a monthly Trip Achievers Blog Hop! This month, I am using the Adorable Owls which is a stamp set you can earn for free during Sale-A-Bration. Everyone is so in love with these owls! Keep reading and at the bottom of my post, I’ll send you to the next person participating with our blog hop.

I used the Inlaid Embossing Technique on my designer paper layers so that they appear melded into the Basic White Cardstock layer. I’ll explain that in my card recipe below so you can try it!

The Dandy Designs Designer Paper I used is also part of our Sale-A-Bration products you can earn for free and there are 4 each of 12 designs. That’s 48 sheets for free, wowza! I love the soft pastels color palette in all of the designs:
