Kylie’s International Blog Highlights December 2023: Garden Walk Side Step

Kylie’s International Blog Highlights December 2023: Garden Walk Side Step

I like to show my customers how they can mix new DSP with their existing stamp sets for a fresh new look without investing in every full Suite. I think these “Artistically Inked” stamps work great with the Garden Walk DSP. Do you agree? I also suggest making note of stamps/dies etc. with uses that extend past their intended purpose…like this tag from a Christmas dies set that can be used year ’round.
