TRIMMING THE TOWN SUITE
Now is a great time to make something adorable and make a difference! The Coming Home stamp set (#153500) is part of the popular Trimming The Town suite and is the August-December 2020 Mini Catalogue Making a Difference stamp set.
When you purchase the Coming Home stamp set you’ll be a part of supporting adoption, foster care, and infertility charities.
Personally, I love how the Home Together Dies coordinate with both the stamps and the Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper (#153491). It makes is simple and fast to create layered scenes on card and decor projects.
I think you’ll love this whole suite!
Thanks, and have a great day.
