Hi everybody!
Ready for a little tour from The Stamp Review Crew?
We're a group of Stamping' Up! demonstrators who link our blogs twice a month. With each edition of our hop, we show lots of ways to use one stamp set so you can be inspired.
This month we're featuring the Wondrous Wreath set that premiered in the Holiday Catalog but is still available for sale along with the matching dies. Besides being great for your Christmas cards, this set has wonderful potential to be used all year long.
I decided to bypass the wreath altogether and focus on the flowers and the sentiment!
Taking a clean and simple approach, I placed a smattering of die cut flowers diagonally across the card. The tone on tone accents add texture and interest. I also stamped the bloom and heat embossed it with Pool Party powder.
I began with the sentiment from the Wondrous Wreath set, replacing the word Christmas with "Birthday" from the Four You stamp set. I think they make a cute greeting together!
ETA: I've made another new card for BABY with this set. Find it HERE
I'm the first stop on the hop this time around. You can follow your way from here with the buttons below. I know you'll love the beautiful and fun ideas ahead!

What a pretty card! Love the idea of changing up the sentiment to be non holiday. And those flowers make a lovely textured background.

What an adorable card! I love the scattered flowers and that sentiment. Great idea to change up the words; I love fonts and this card has 3! Awesome! Hugs

Great color palette! But it must have taken you ages to die cut all those flowers! Great way to feature the accessory stamp to the wreath!

What a beautiful card Cindy! I love how you did the background with the flowers of the same color and the tag is so sweet! :)
