Welcome to the Ellen Hutson Creative Team Blog hop to celebrate the August Essentials by Ellen Release, I'm Carolyn and I'm glad you're here. Before you leave, please be sure to scroll to the bottom of the post to learn about the giveaway Ellen Hutson is sponsoring in conjunction with the hop.
The first card I want to share with you features the new Retro Holiday Greetings Stamp set, which contains eight holiday greetings designed with great typography. I combined it with the Shipping Tags die (I can see myself using this one a lot!) and the super cute Holiday Characters stamp set - I used the tree, but you've got to check it out, the Santa and snowmen are adorable!
