Stampin' Up is celebrating 25 years of stamping this year. As a part of that 25 years celebration, they are introducing a Best of 25 Years stamp set each month. They are bringing back popular stamps from the past by combining one stamp from several different stamp sets to create a new collection. There is also a never before seen image included in the set, and they are available for purchase until March 31, 2014! This hydrangea stamp came from March's Best of 25 Years - Flowers set. It was a hostess set a few years ago, and people were just as excited to see it this month as they were when it was first out. We used the old stamp for this card because the new stamp is smaller. 
Stampin' Up! has these great new Tag a Bag Gift Boxes in the catalog on page 158. They are an easy way to dress up a small little gift or treat. I bought the Tag a Bag Accessory Kit which made this so quick to assemble. I added the birthday stamp and a flower to the tag, put my gift inside, and was ready to give it away. 
I just recently added this Embellished Events stamp set to my collection. What took me so long? It's such a great set and so useful for so many occasions. We did this little 3 x 3 thank you card at Kim's party. The ladies could choose to make a thank you, thinking of you, congratulations, or a celebrate card. 
I had such a fun time with Kim and her friends at her stamping party last night. She told me she loves this Quartrefancy Specialty paper and the coordinating embossing folder and stamp set. I was able to work all three of them into one of our projects, but I thought it would be perfect for the hostess gift notebook. She also loves the new 2013 - 2015 In Colors so I was able to use the Strawberry Slush paper and ribbon. Now she can make her wish lists, grocery lists etc. in Stampin' Up! style.
