Paper Crafting Blog Hop – My Favorite Bundle!

Welcome to our March Paper Crafting Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the world! Each demonstrator has created projects featuring their favorite bundle! Below my card is a list of links to all of the participating bloggers.

My card features the Brewed For You Bundle (#159093)! It is one of the first bundles I bought from this annual catalog. The card base is Early Espresso with a layer of He’s The Man DSP (#159068). I added a 2″ strip and a 1″ strip from the same DSP pack. The beer glasses and jug were stamped in Memento Black on Very Vanilla. Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry filled them up! The glasses sit on an oval of Early Espresso punched with the Double Oval Punch (#154242). The sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso on a scrap of Very Vanilla and the end punched with the Banners Pick a Punch (#153608). Three gold Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots (#156506) complete my card.
