Season of Wonder Release Blog Hop

Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for their Season of Wonder Release Blog Hop.

SSS-3D Box Stencil, CZ Scripty Thanks, Abundant Leaves

My project featuring the cool, new 3D Box Stencil for the background. I added some vellum leaves using the Abundant Leaves die set. For the sentiment I used the CZ Scripty Thanks die.
