I have a talented team of stampers, and they recently shared their creations in our Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration team swap. It’s always so fun to see what each person creates. Here, Jean Uphoff showcases the Tasty Trucks stamp set for this festive birthday card. I like how she used the Brick Wall Embossing Folder sponged with a white ink She also watercolored the truck and cut it out.

You can get the Tasty Trucks stamp set free during Sale-A-Bration. Purchase $50 of Stampin’ Up! product (before tax and shipping) and receive your choice of a free product from the brochure. There are 12 items from which to choose. Beginning February 21, look for three more items to be added to the mix.

A friend and her husband recently celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. I paired the Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits Die with the Falling in Love Designer Series Paper to create a card for this special anniversary.

I really, really like this double-sided, 12 x 12 paper that features the colors of Blushing Bride, Sweet Sugarplum, Sahara Sand, and Very Vanilla. I’ve already purchased several packages! I grabbed the sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes, one of my favorite collections of sentiments.

Change the sentiment and this card could be a Valentine card or wedding card.

Enjoy!

I always need birthday cards. In January, I sent about 25 cards. I had to come up with some different designs to replenish my stash.

Here, I combined the single stamp, Stylized Birthday, with the Birthday Bright stamp set. This card also features the fun gold confetti paper from the Pop of Pink Specialty Designer Series Paper Pack. I also added the coordinating washi tape (who doesn’t love washi tape?) and the Melon Mambo Thick Baker’s Twine. Quick, easy, and festive.
