Just a little history, this bundle first debuted in the January - June 2020 Mini Catalog as a bundle (Painted Poppies Stamp Set and Painted Labels Dies)...what does that tell you of its popularity? I provided some tips and tricks for creating your own background panel or DSP if you will using your chosen stamps and ink, demonstrated the 2-step stamping process, and a little about how to work with ribbon.
