Stampin Up Postage Due Stamp Set is one of the coolest new sets from the Annual Catalog.  I know this stamp set was designed to be “vintage” like; however, I am a “think outside of the box” type of person and that influences my art work. As I shared yesterday, I encourage you to not let the “vintage” like stamp set or the words, “postage due”, influence your creations when using this stamp set.  By that I mean, don’t believe that your creation with this stamp set has to be vintage or relate to “postage”.  Think outside of the box!

To that end, my second card share featuring the Stampin Up Postage Due Stamp Set is certainly not vintage or postage-related.  I wanted a card with Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight colors as I love that color combination.  Here it is!
