Today’s cards were created with paper, ink and stamps and they featured the Stampin’ Up! Parcels & Petals Stamp Set.
Funny thing, I have flipped through my catalog 100’s of times and have always liked this set; however, I just could envision what to do with it. Well, today’s color inspired me to pull it off the shelf and give it a try.
I knew the flowers would would work beautifully but wanted to incorporate the lovely sentiments too. My favorite “Somebody Loves You Lots & Lots!! What a beautiful message to receive in the mail on a bright, cheerful card. I love it!!
I challenge you to pull out a stamp set that you haven’t used in a while or are maybe unsure of. If you have the Stampin’ Up! Parcels & Petals Stamp Set pull it out and get creating. Try various color combinations such as blue or purple tones. Feel free to send me an email and picture of your card. I’d love to see it!!
