FOR ALL VIDS AND BLOG WRITEUPS.jpg

In today’s post, I will be sharing with you a simple yet beautiful “happy trails”
card using the stamp set

Snail mail for you

 

ST-BD-37.jpg

This stamp set is super cute, and has four adorable snails, mushroom, grass, a mail, a beautiful flower, a mail pouch along with beautifully coordinated sentiments to go with and I must say that the quality of their stamps is very good which leave a crisp  and clear image when stamped on.

 

But before I start, let me tell you our challenge for the month of JULY is ongoing,

And finally finish the card, by stamping the sentiment ” Wishing you Happy trails” from the same stamp set and you are done!
