The Amazing Life stamp set was one we received at Stampin’ Up!’s On Stage event last November in Orlando. At the time, I have to admit that I wasn’t all that impressed with it. I don’t know why, it just didn’t do anything for me. As I was trying to figure out what stamp sets to use for this week’s classes I came across it and thought “I need to use this”. It’s been sitting on my shelf since November and it was time to dust it off.
The more that I look at this stamp set the more I like it. There are some great sentiments in it! “You are amazing!”. “Good luck”. and “I believe in you!”. These are all things we like to hear at one time or another and these are things we should definitely be saying to others. The stamp set also has small images that go with these wonderful sentiments.
I chose to go with an Amazing Life birthday card. I mean really….you can never have enough birthday cards on hand! Once I had the stamp set and the theme of my card figured out I needed to figure out the color scheme. I knew I wanted to use Stampin’ Blends to color my image and I’m kind of falling in love with the Mini Striped Ribbon so I had to find colors that came in both. I was limited to Bermuda Bay, Gorgeous Grape and Poppy Parade with the ribbons. I already had a card using Bermuda Bay so I went with Gorgeous Grape and the coordinating Highland Heather.
I love the Rectangle Stitched Framelits….or any stitched framelits for that matter. They just add that little something, something to a card like my favorite Subtle Embossing Folder (which I also used on this card!) Did you know that you can purchase the Amazing Life stamp set (#148750 $21) and the Rectangle Stitched Framelits (#148551 $35) in a bundle (#150624 $50.25)?! Woo Hoo!
I hope this card brings a smile to someone’s face. Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
