Tulips and Springtime

There’s a saying here that the sky is “Carolina Blue.” Today fits that description with the most beautiful blue hue, not a cloud to be seen, and signs of spring everywhere. It’s a little cool, so I think I’ll take tomorrow to do some yard work; for today, I’ll just simply relax and enjoy all the sightings of spring outside my doors and windows.

Tulips are a classic flower. Their little bulbs don’t look like much when you plant them, but they are show-stopping when they bloom. From the classic to the ruffled parrot tulips, their many varieties allow us all to have a favorite.

If you don’t happen to have the live version, Stampin’ Up!’s Timeless Tulip Bundle allows you to create your own tulip bouquet. The Tulip Builder Punch creates the flower and leaf shapes, which can then be stamped with the Timeless Tulips photopolymer (clear) stamps. The sentiments in this stamp set are perfect for Mother’s Day, a general greeting, springtime wishes, or a birthday. Make some classic red tulips with the Real Red stamp pad. How about pretty pink with Blushing Bride? Or, a gorgeous purple with Highland Heather? Don’t forget Granny Apple Green and Garden Green for the leaves and stems. Lots of possibilities! You may want to check out our Stampin’ Blends for coloring your beautiful bouquet!

I hope you’re enjoying your day and some springtime sights as well. What’s your favorite springtime flower? Hard to choose, isn’t it? Feel free to leave a photo in the comments, or just tell us about your favorite.

Until next time, may your world be filled with beauty and peace.
