And that’s a wrap:). I have enjoyed bringing a close up view of the specialty papers that Stampin’Up! has available for the 2021-2022 Catalog(s). Getting to know these papers and seeing them uses brings paper joy to your craft room. I think the papers that have limited counts like the Rainbow Glimmer and Gold Shimmer Vellum are best used in small amounts though the use of punches and die cuts.
These small touches of fun or elegance when added to the card take it from a nice card to a wow!
