Birthday Blooms

I received the Birthday Blooms stamp set from Stampin' Up Occasions Mini Catalog.  I wasn't going to get it at first but then I started seeing all of these lovely cards using this stamp set and I just couldn't resist it.

Here is my creation using the Emboss Resist Technique, a technique that left stunning results.  I am very proud of this card and just love how it turned out.  I hope that you like it too!!


The picture doesn't do it justice, it is just such a pretty and simple card, one that could be used for any occasion at all.

Would you like to make it yourself?  Here is what you will need:

Botanical Blooms Card Video

Last week when I posted the Technique Class cards, I totally forgot to attach the video that my upline and friend, Kelly Acheson did of this card.  I created this card for class without casing it from anyone and I was so proud of the card that I shared it with Kelly.  She loved it!!  Asked me if she could use it in her class plus if it was okay if she could make a video on how it was made.  To say the least, I was totally honored as Kelly was the one who got me hooked on stamping and taught me how to do it.

Here is the photo of the card again,

This card used the technique Stencil Sponge Stamp and was so much fun!!
