Hey everyone! Today, I’m thrilled to share some creative fun with the Hooray for Surprises Bundle from Stampin’ Up! This interactive stamp and die set is perfect for adding a touch of magic to your cards and projects.
Why Hooray for Surprises?
The Hooray for Surprises Stamp Set features playful images that are just right for birthdays, celebrations of love, or simply sending warm wishes. What makes this bundle truly special are the interactive elements that invite your recipients to engage with your creations. Stamp phrases like “Pull” or “Open here” on the front of your card to encourage them to discover a surprise inside!
Discover the Dies
Accompanying the stamps are the coordinating Hooray for Surprises Dies, which add even more creativity to your projects. Create zip strips that reveal hidden messages or combine dies to craft peek-through surprises on hearts, birds, circles, and flowers. Imagine the delight as your loved ones uncover a special note or a beautifully stamped image beneath!
