Stylish Stems is one of those sets of Framelits that you might overlook when you first see it.  I get it.  We already all have a lot of dies that cut out beautiful flowers.  I thought the same thing at first.  Then I watched the video that Stampin’ Up! made about this set (which I have posted below).  It is nothing like the other dies.  It doesn’t cut out the flowers.  It creates a negative image of the flowers and stems.  It is very cool.  Watch the video and you will see what I mean.

Don’t you just love it?!?  It is so different than what we usually have.  I love that Stampin’ Up! comes out with these fresh ideas.  It also has a matching stamp set called Special Reason and you can save 10% by purchasing both in a bundle.  I just cut out the flowers and stems and then adhered the colored card stock behind the images.  The stamp set I used is called Birthday Bright (my new favorite birthday sentiment set!).
