These beautiful flowers are part of a gorgeous stamp set called Avant Garden. What does that mean anyway…”avant” garden?
Well, I looked it up and “avant” is French for “original and innovative,” “culturally or stylistically advanced.” This is a pretty innovative and stylistically advanced set of flower stamps, don’t you think?
The color palate for our “advanced” garden is bright and bold: Melon Mambo, Emerald Envy and Black. These are winter colors, just what we need in cold weather 🙂
And the best thing about this great stamp set is that it’s FREE! Yes, FREE! During Sale-a-Bration, for every $50 purchase you can choose one FREE item from the exclusive Sale-a-bration Catalog! And this stamp set is one of the FREE items!
I really love this set. All the stamps on this card are from the Avant Garden set, except the border stamp, that’s from the Tin of Cards set.
Pretty Pointer: This border stamp from the Tin of Cards is an amazing stamp! Use it everywhere: on the lower edge of the inside of cards, on an envelope – front and/or back, and on the edges of cards! This is one way to “step-up” any card!
Thank you for stopping by today! Don’t miss this fabulous set while it’s available!

Hi Peggy! This is such a pretty composition! I love the use of the Tin of Cards border stamp and your flowers are perfect! This will certainly be a card that I will make very soon. Thanks for sharing!
Love your perfectly stamped border!
Sooo very pretty…that border makes the flowers stand out beautifully!
Great Card and Reminder to use the ‘Tin of Cards’ border! Forgot all about it!
Thanks for sharing!
The Tin of Cards border is the perfect “frame” for the Avant Garden flowers! Thank you for sharing!
Love the card. I’m not finding the border in Tin of Cards. Could someone please point me to the catalog and page? Thanks.
Love the way this card came together with that border! So pretty. I would love to share this on my blog for ‘My Crafty Friends Monday’ (a round up of amazing cards from amazing stampers!)! Please let me know if you would prefer that I didn’t share it (of course I give you credit and link back to your blog!).
