Hello, my crafty friends! Today is a two for one blog post! LOL
Here is a new addition to Creative Impressions Blog. I have added blog hops to give you inspiration from other talented crafters; so hop on over to Crafty Collaborations BLOG HOP POST to see Paper Pumpkin Alternatives for March 2024.
The second part of this post is a Mini Slimline Card layout using the Hot Air Balloon Stamp Set and Dies. It is currently available in a Bundle and as a Suite of Products. The Lighter than Air 6 x 6 DSP is amazing in beautifully combined pastel colors to the intricate dies that make up several different balloon designs.
Happy Crafting!
