Creating Beauty with Limited Supplies: Lasting Joy Stamp Set Inspiration
Hello
Crafting Friends!
Today, I want
to share with you a special project inspired by the joy of crafting with
limited supplies. A dear friend and fellow crafter recently started her
stamping journey with just a handful of colors and a couple of versatile tools.
I decided to create three beautiful cards using the Lasting Joy stamp set to
show that creativity knows no bounds, even with a limited palette.
