It's officially May which means it's time to say goodbye to all the retiring stamp sets. In total, I'm losing 18 stamp sets from my collection (although a few of those will be kept because I love them so much). Many of these stamp sets are still available, but they are no longer guaranteed. If you want any of the sets features, buy now before they are gone!
The first stamp set I'm featuring in my retiring series is Birthday Blooms. All of my stamp club ladies can attest that this set has become one of my go-to sets for cards. I love how versatile the stamps are. We've stamped the outline, colored them in, created stained glass effect, heat embossed the image, and many more techniques. For this card, I created one to feature at April's stamp club and then found myself making an entire set. I love how different these cards look. Change out some colors and paper, and voila!, you have a completely different card!
