Hello Friends!
Today, I’m sharing another swap card from my recent team meeting. This fun creation comes from Kathy Blume. She combined the single stamp Birthday Cake with one of the fun sayings from the Yippee-Skippee Stamp Set. Kathy also had a little fun with the Chevron Embossing Folder.

Hello Stampers!
In the last couple of months, I’ve been fortunate to add some wonderful stampers to my stamping family. At the last team meeting, we held a card swap within our group. It was really fun to see what each of the stampers created!
Today’s card was created by Jean Uphoff. I just love how she used the Chevron Border Punch, the Gorgeous Grunge set, and the white embossing with Teeny Tiny Wishes.
Thanks to Jean for sharing!

Happy Valentine’s Day to all!
I am sharing just one of the many cards I created for Valentine’s Day. I used a variety of the “gold” products now offered by Stampin’ Up! (I hear that gold is really “in.”):
- Brushed Gold card stock base
- Gold Fancy Foil Designer Vellum
- Gold Foil Sheets
- Gold Baker’s Twine
- Gold embossing powder with the Flowerfull Heart stamp
Not only does this card work for Valentine’s Day, but I could use it for a wedding or anniversary as well!
Shop for these and other great Stampin’ Up! products from my online store 24/7 here.

A shout-out to Susan who celebrated her birthday a couple of weeks ago! We won’t share which “birthday” this was, but she likes to have fun. I wanted to reflect that in her card. I started with a My Digital Studio image from the Happy Hour set. I printed the glass image onto Very Vanilla card stock and built the rest of the card.
I embossed the “Cheers” sentiment from the same Happy Hour set in gold, then layered the panel on black and brushed gold. I accented the edges with the fun new Water Color Wonder Designer Washi Tape.
Cheers!
Kim

A recent party featured the Regarding Dahlias stamp set. We made three quick and cute cards that showcased the versatility of this set.
Today, I’m sharing one of the cards we made. I focused on the new Retro Fresh Designer Washi Tape available in the new Occasions Catalog and built the color scheme around the coordinating colors of Coastal Cabana and Tangerine Tango.
Quick, easy, and fun!
Regarding Dahlias is available in both clear (item #130327 for $14.95) and wood (item #130324 for $19.95). Order directly from my online store.
Happy stamping!
