This color combination (Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon, Basic Beige and Crumb Cake) really takes the Stampin’ Up! Lovely & Sweet Stamp Set and Dies to a new level of chic. The simple, die cut florals add a plush richness and who couldn’t love the Basic Beige circle with the dotted border (Everyday Details dies – one of My Favorite Things).
WHAT I LOVE! If you don’t own the Stampin’ Up! Adhesive Backed Antique Textured Dots (on the circle and sentiment), you’ll want to pop them on your next order. (Estimated Restock the week of June 24). They have a brassy finish that “goes” with just about everything and sport wee textured dots on the top for added interest!
