I am sharing with you today a gift box and cards created with the Stylish Sketches Stamp Set from Stampin’ Up! This project was designed by Susan Elise Morton, a member of the Blog Co-Op I belong to.
Susan decided to use watercolor pencils with the Stylish Sketches stamp set from SALE-a-bration. She also used the Kraft Note Cards and Envelopes set and was thrilled to discover the gift box included with this set! It makes the perfect gift!
