Soft Spring Host stamp set

Today I’m sharing a really pretty host stamp set called Soft Spring.  This stamp set is available only to those that host an in person or online party that has sales totaling at least $150 or place a personal order of at least $150.  All of these options qualify you as a host and you can use your free shopping spree to purchase this stamp set for free (plus other products depending on the size of the order).

Stampin' Up! Soft Spring Host stamp set, Stitched Rectangle Dies, Garden Lane DSP, Stampin' Studio

Soft Spring is a 7 piece photoploymer stamp set featuring lovely soft flowers and leaves.  I paired the stamp set with te Garden Lane Designer Series Paper which I thought coordinated nicely with the floral image.  For the “framed” look, I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies and cut out 2 different sized “frames”, one in Pretty Peacock and one in Old Olive.  I attached the Pretty peacock frame directly to the Pool Party card base and then attached the piece of Garden Lane DSP.  I attached a piece of Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Reversible Ribbon to the back of the Old Olive “frame” then popped it up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The stamped image is actually 3  stamps from the Soft Spring set.  I used Old Olive (stamped off once) to stamp the outline image, then stamped the leaves in Old Olive and flowers in Pool Party.  Once they were stamped, I did a bit of fussy cutting around the image and popped this up off the card with more Dimensionals.  The final touch was a few Old Olive Rhinestones from the Noble Peacock Rhinestones.

Everything Amazing for the Avid Stamper

Before I left you all, I was sharing the Everything Amazing stamp set.  I shared a couple cards using the stamp set, one for e a beginning stamper, one for a casual stamper and today I’m sharing one for the avid stamper.  You can see those cards by clicking the following links:
