Stampin’ Up! Stargazing
Hello Stampers!
Here’s a second card I created using Stampin’ Up!’s Stargazing stamp set now available in Stampin’ Up!’s new Annual Catalog. Like I wrote in a previous post, I was, at first, stumped at what to create. But I kept playing around, and here’s the result.
I started with a piece of Shimmery White card stock. I stamped the “swirly” image with Versamark ink onto the paper three to four times. I applied the new Shimmer White Embossing Powder and heated with a Heat Tool. I highly recommend purchasing this Shimmer White Embossing Powder. It gives off such a shine! It is definitely a “wow”!
I then used an Aqua Painter and applied a wash of Night of Navy Ink Refill. I let it dry thoroughly before creating the rest of the card.
Some of the other key elements include the use of the Blueberry Foil Sheets from the Noble Peacock Foil Sheet pack and the Twinkle Builder Punch.

Hello Stampers!
Welcome to Team Stamp It’s monthly blog hop. This month, we’re featuring projects using brand-new products from Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog. Thanks for joining us! Be sure to visit each blog on the hop and leave a comment with the hashtag #tampitcontest. You’ll be entered into a drawing to win a Soft Sayings Card Kit.
There are so many fun new goodies, it was difficult to know where to start! But one of my customers nudged me out of my comfort zone. I love Pinterest, and I get a lot of my ideas from there. However, this customer wanted me to use Stampin’ Up!’s Stargazing stamp set. I found a few ideas on Pinterest, but soon realized I was going to have to create a “Kim Quade Original.” Here is the finished product.

Stampin’ Up! Stargazing and Twinkle Builder
The card features a color combination of Night of Navy and Smoky Slate and has hints of bling from Silver Glimmer Paper (punched fro the Twinkle Builder Punch. This card easily lends itself to becoming a shaker card.

Stampin’ Up! Enjoy Life and Swirly Frames for Hubby’s Birthday
Hello Stampers!
My husband’s birthday is July 24. It happens the same day, year after year. So, why do I wait until the last minute to create a card? I’m usually licking the envelope as he walks in the door from work. I never plan ahead and that leaves me scrambling every single year. Yikes! So yesterday afternoon, I grabbed some remnants left from a class last week and quickly pulled something together. (He “likes” my Facebook posts, but I’m certain he doesn’t read my blog posts. Let’s hope!)
I had some leftover Blueberry Bushel Foil and a scrap of the In Color Blueberry Bushel Designer Series Paper. He’s a bike rider so I used that for the feature from the Enjoy Life stamp set. The sentiment comes from Ity Bitty Birthdays and the background is from Swirly Frames.
Thanks for stopping by today!

Stampin’ Up! Time for Tags (Hostess)
Hello Stampers!
Sometimes the host sets in the back of the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog get overlooked. But you don’t want to miss out on this versatile set that has a coordinating punch (Timeless Label Punch).
Host a stamping gathering with a few of your friends and you can purchase this set with the rewards you earn from the party. It’s valued at $21, but you can use $12.50 of your rewards to add it to your collection.
There are five fun images perfect for coloring. Here, I’ve used the colors of Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay featuring the 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper Collections. I used the Stampin’ Write Markers to color the image.

Stampin’ Up! Over the Moon
Hello Stampers!
It’s almost as much fun getting handmade cards in the mail as it is creating them! This card came from my team member Kathy Blume. It features the Over the Moon stamp set (so stinkin’ cute), the Buffalo Check background stamp, and We’ll Walrus Be Friends stamp set. It’s a lot of fun mixing and matching stamps and products from different sets.
And, if you like a little bit of coloring, the cow is a fun image to be creative with. Use your Stampin’ Write Markers, your Stampin’ Blends, or watercolor pencils.
