Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Blog hop for January 2021.
This month's kit includes the perfect stamp that pairs with the Snail Mail Suite of products --specifically, the Stampin' Up! Snailed It Stamp Set, Snail Dies, and coordinating Designer Series Paper. I used the kit's snail stamp to create my alternate card (card recipe / tutorial at the end of this post).
Be sure to visit my fellow blog hop participants' posts to check out their projects.
