Happy Sunday, everyone! On Friday, the Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team had a Secret Santa Instagram Hop. We each drew a name of one of our fellow team members, and then CASE’d one of their cards for this hop. It was so much fun to draw a name, and I was super excited to draw Silvia Berger. I love all of her beautiful layers and all of the wonderful layouts she creates, so I couldn’t wait to CASE one of her cards.
Hope you can join on on this Instagram Hop! There are lots of amazing cards to inspire your creativity! You will see the new card that was CASE’d, along with the original card from the other team member.
