All the cards I am sharing that introduce the new 2017 – 2018 In-colors, have been made using the Colorful Seasons Stamp Set which literally has Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter images with a selection of greetings in a lovely font. Better yet – it has a coordinating Thinlets Die set (if you buy the bundle – you get 10% discount!) Continue reading
