THIS WEEK'S SAVVY SHOPPER NEWS

May Savvy Showcase

• Coming in June: MASCULINE Inspiration!
  • Discover new project ideas for the special men in your life... starts next week!

We're wrapping this month's ideas for the Unbounded Beauty Suite with the savvulous card above.  

Use the label die and sentiment from the Unbounded Love Bundle with the large greenery die from the coordinating Flowers of Beauty Bundle to create the three main panels. 

Add the Unbounded Beauty Designer Paper to the card front and a thin strip of 2024-2026 In Color Glimmer Paper along the inside edge (it's barely peeking out from this view :) and you'll end up with this monochromatic beauty, ready-to-give in about 15-20 minutes. 

Make it any favorite color!

Have a wonderful week that includes craftingyour own handmade happiness !
