Birthday Garden in Bloom - Stampin' Up! Garden in Bloom

With each new Stampin' Up! catalog I get so excited to use and show off the new products that I often forget about the items that are still available from past catalogs.  And then of course I begin to feel guilty that I'm not giving those old favorites any love.  Today's card is a result of that guilt!

  I saw this color combination in a catalog for bedding and thought that it would make a nice card.  It ended up having a bit of an autumn feel to it.  All of the white on the card is white embossing so it has a nice texture to it.

  And that Early Espresso seam binding that is long since retired??  Man!  It makes for some lovely fork bows!  Maybe Stampin' Up! will bring it back some day!

   Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
