Stampin' Up! Hinge Card
This is a alternative card that I made using the April Paper Pumpkin Kit. Some of the additional items used, I can't link to yet, as they wont be available until May 5th, 2026. I used the Waterside Retreat Designer Paper #167920 as well as a NEW In-Color Peaceful Pine #167691. The new In-Color gems are #167546.

Stampin' Up! Shadow-Box Card
Today I'm sharing a beautiful shadow box card that has a soft and elegant look. The base of the card it white, so it really lets all the elements shine!

The simple "hello" in blue really stands out against the white background, and draws your eye right to the center of the card.
