Build A Blossom

I love this card!  I think I say that about most of the pictures I post, but I wouldn't want to show you one I don't love!

This stamp set - Build a Blossom, along with its coordinating punch - Blossoms Petal Builder, were introduced last Spring.  They must have been a hit, because Stampin' Up! decided to put them in the 2011-2012 idea book and catalog. 

The set I used for the sentiment is no longer available, but you could easily substitute any sentiment to replace it.  May I suggest Teeny Tiny Wishes or a recent favorite My Friend.

You may have seen this card before.  I  pretty much duplicated the card that was in last year's Occasions mini-catalog.  I'm not too proud to admit that.  :) 

Still, it's cute.  It's simple.  And it's versatile.  You could make this card too!
