It is always difficult at this time of year to know what to share when. Those of us who are demonstrators are already drooling over the new stamp sets and products that will be available soon in the new catalog because we need to plan ahead for our events. Unfortunately we sometimes forget that our customers, class attendees, and blog viewers that are NOT demonstrators can't get their hands on these items yet.
So today I thought I'd share a few cards I received as swaps recently that feature CURRENT floral stamp sets (ones that are available now) that will REMAIN current when the new catalog begins June 1st. So really, these flowers will last another whole year at least! I sure wish real flowers could stay in full bloom that long here in Minnesota. 😉
This first card made by Brenda Georgi features the Flower Shop stamp set.
What a fun yet simple layout. I love that this stamp set can be paired with it's coordinating punch and can also be purchased in a bundle for 15% off.
This next card made by Dianna Richards shows off the Rose Wonder stamp set and retiring Botanical Garden jewels.
I did a class recently with this next stamp set, Grateful Bunch.
It's a favorite of mine, so I'm glad I swapped with Susie Wood to get her pretty card.
What would I do if Butterfly Basics was leaving!?
I'm so glad it will also be around for another year. Cheryl Lee made this great swap card. And if you missed the baseball scrapbook pages and card I made with the fern leaf in this set, then you need to click here to check them out.
I'm also pretty happy that the Botanical Builder Framelits Dies will be staying.
I adore them. And I loved Kimberly Meyers' card shown here so much, that I used her card as inspiration for one of my January Stamp-A-Stack cards.
The last card I am sharing with you today created by Amy Combs features a stamp set I do NOT own…
…yet!
Good thing it will be around for another year. Helping Me Grow is going on my wish list.
