Inspired Thoughts Bundle featured on Facebook Live July 25, 2021

 

It’s the last week of Christmas in July! Next week I will start showing NEW products from the July - December 2021 Mini Catalog and Sale’A-Bration Catalog.  Yes, the title of the Catalog is correct – Due to Covid 19 there were delays in receiving many of the materials needed for our products, so rather than have tons of backorders, it was decided to hold off the launch of the Mini Catalog until August.  Stampin’ Up! is always looking out for us!  The following cards were featured on my Facebook Live on July 25, 2021 and feature the Inspired Thoughts Bundle  featured on page 52 of the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog,
