Nests of Winter Day Two!

All this week, I will share projects I made using the Nests of Winter Suite found on page 31 of the new September to December Mini Catalog. Hopefully, my showcase helps show you how FABULOUS this suite of products is!

Since these products are not released yet, I cannot screenshot you a photo of the bundle per Stampin' Up! policy. 

The suite consists of :

Winterly Tree Tops bundle, 
Natural Tones Linen Thread, 
Birchwood 3D embossing folder, 
Earth Tones Shimmer Gems,  

Nests of Winter 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper.
