Sweet 'n Sassy Release Celebration - Shape Up

Welcome to DAY 5 of our February Release Blog Hops!

Today the DT is thrilled to share the new Shape Up stamp set with you.  This new 4"x4" stamp set coordinates with our Shape Dies but can be used alone, as well, to create backgrounds and patterns of all kinds.

I kept today's card seriously clean and simple (the more I use the white, the more I love the white!) and simply die cut the same shape five time and used the stamp set to repeat this pretty floral pattern in different colors of blue.  Then I just added this great sentiment from the new Inspirational Word Art stamp set.  See more below!
