July Stamp of the Month Bonus Kit: Strong Roots (S2107)

 July Stamp of the Month Bonus Kit

Strong Roots (S2107)


Strong Roots!  Such a unique and beautiful stamp of the month for July!  I love, love the cottage and the sentiments.  It reminds me of the mighty oak from little acorns grow!  This Stamp of the Month bonus kit uses the Strong Roots July Stamp of the Month (S2107).  I combined the beautiful stamp with some floral and pattern papers to accent as well as some of our soft velvet Julep ribbon.  Add some die cuts from our brand new "Smiles from the Garden" stamp and thin cut set and it's the perfect combination.  Customize your pre-cut kit with your very own stamp of the month and even better, earn it for free as a VIP!!  This kit creates 5 cards and includes all of the pre-cut pieces needed (cardstock, pattern paper, die cuts), card bases and envelopes, embellishments, velvet ribbon, and  Cricut Cuts, add your own stamping with the stamp of the month. The design space file and instruction guide is included so you can make more of your own.
