Baroque Motifs was one of those classic stamp sets I thought might live on forever as Lovely as a Tree seemingly has done. But, it was not to be. Baroque Motifs was included in the very long list (well over 200 stamp sets!) on the 2011-2012 Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog Retiring Stamp Sets List.
Since it's release in 2007, I have used the Baroque Motifs stamp set to make many, many cards, on scrapbook pages and for my little brother's wedding invites, reply cards and thank you cards. It is a classic stamp set that should be in every stamper's collection.
Just a couple more cards to share with you I made with Baroque Motifs. In just a few days, posting of card ideas with it will cease because after May 31, 2012 it will no longer be available to order.
The big flourish stamp gets most of the attention and probably rightfully so with the elegance it adds. But, sometimes you find a gem in one of the other understated stamps in a Stampin' Up! stamp set. Look at how the medallion stamp takes center stage on this handmade greeting card.
Simple, elegant, lovely.
With the handmade greeting card below, the flourish stamp is used but as an added element and not the center of attention. That role went to the pretty flower burst used not just once but three times.
