Stampin' Up! Best of Flowers will be leaving before we know it

For only two more weeks will the Stampin’ Up! Best of 25 Years Stamp Sets will be available. The Best of 25 Years Stamp Sets are limited-edition stamp sets celebrating Stampin’ Up! 25th anniversary. This pretty card was one of the Founder’s Circle swaps using the Stampin’ Up! Best of Flowers Stamp Set.

The hydrangea is framed with embossed tulips from the appropriately named Framed Tulips Embossing Folder #121809. 🙂 You need an machine to do the embossing. You can use the Sizzix Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine #113439 or a Cuttlebug.

The Framed Tulip Embossing Folder is pretty, yet I tend to forget about it. Not sure why that is. It was most definitely the finishing touch for this handmade card. It would have been lovely without it, but not that we have seen it used, nothing else would do. Need to get mine in my line of site so I remember to use it. It is the perfect time of year from embossed tulips.

The 3/8″ Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon #109070 is as elegant as the flowers and embossing. I always try to match of the personalities of a ribbon with the card I’m making. The softness of the taffeta ribbon was the perfect choice.

This Best of Flowers card will probably be the last card I post to remind you that it, and all the other Best of Stamp Sets, will soon be put back into the archives for possibly another 25 years or forever.

Please look at all the limited-edition Best of Stamp Sets and order any you would like in my online store www.shopwithshelly.com before March 31, 2014 has come and gone. It is easy to let the last day slide by you. I know because so many email hoping to find a retired stamp set for that very reason.
