Welcome to another Stamp Crew Review Blog Hop! We share our take on a selected stamp set every first and third Monday. This week we are using a fun and popular new set in the Occasions catalog, Number of Years, which coordinates with the Large Numbers framelits. If you are following the blog hop order, you have just come from the hugely talented Linda Callahan's blog. I just love her style!
When I first saw this bundle, I thought I didn't need more numbers. And then the cute, adorable, fabulous samples from fellow demonstrators started coming out. They wore me down! So here's my take on this stamp set and bundle.
I figure I should give you the little story behind this card. We are suppose to get together with the in-laws on vacation to celebrate my father-in-law's 70th birthday. Well we are about a year late in getting it all arranged, so we'll celebrate his "70th again". He's a gardener, so it's ok to give him flowers. ;)
And I put together a birthday card for my niece with a world-is-your-oyster-type theme. She is away at college, and her bright future will be opening up very soon.
Now make sure you check out the next stop to see what one of our resident artisans, Jessica Williams, has put together with this week's stamp set.

Those are two awesome cards, Heidi! I love them both and they seem so fitting for each recipient! I think we're covering all the decades on this hop. :)
Such great cards, Heidi! I really love the first one. Happy birthday to your father-in-law!
Love these cards! And I love the 70 again backstory! Fun! Great sparkle too! Very cool themed card too!
LOL! I knew there had to be a story behind the "again" part of 70! Love the colors, and that this strong floral card is for a gardening guy :)
Awesome card Heidi! When my dad turned 60 we couldn't get a party to work till the following year either. lol It's better to be late than never hehe. Glad we wore you down on getting this set it is an awesome set and I know you're gonna make awesome stuff with it!
I love the the world is you're oyster for your niece great card and idea!
Two fantstic cards Heidi! Love the story behind 70 'again' and the card for your neice is awesome! Rochelle xo
I had the same reaction when I first saw this set. Oh, another numbers set .. don't need another one'. But I kept seeing different cards done with it and I had to get it. Have made good use of it as this year my brother turned 60, mom turned 85, aunt turned 70, and my uncle turns 65 soon. It's a great set to use and sure comes with a lot of stamps! Those are great cards you made and what a great idea to have a 'By the Numbers' blog hop!
Sorry, freudian slip .. Shoulda said 'Number of Years!'
Great Cards Heidi! I Love how you're celebrating his 70th birthday...again! Lol
So pretty Heidi. I love your colour choice and the addition of the gold sequins.xx
