Happy Saturday, crafty friends! It's been a while since I had some fun with a stamp & die set on its own, and this time I dove in without stencils—ink blending a gorgeous cherry blossom window freehand. I absolutely love how it turned out! You could also color it with markers, colored pencils or watercolor.
Crafting on a budget is a must, and you can snag this Colorful Expressions Blossom stamp & die set for under $10. With loads of delightful sentiments that will mix perfectly with your other supplies, it's also the ideal time of year to feature this charming cherry blossom arch! I finished things off by foiling the background in rose gold with the Colorful Splash hot foil set, though you can easily swap it for a coverplate die, embossing folder, or any background product you have on hand. 😉
These products are all part of the Club Rewinds sale happening right now at Spellbinders, where you can add some great items to your crafting arsenal on a budget!
