Twist N Pop Challenge Card

Today I'm sharing a card I made for a challenge from my Upline, Linda Bauwin. Linda sent us product that we had to use on a card and send back to her. It's then judged by her friends and she announces the winners. Her contests really stretch my imagination and make me think outside the box. 
One of the main draws for me signing with Linda was all of her awesome creative folds. She has taught me so much over the five years I've been in her Stampin' Up! downline. 

I've seen this card style all over the internet and wanted to try it. The contest gave me the motivation I needed. 
I must admit. I LOVE this paper & color combination. It just pops for me!
I was not excited about my sentiment choice. I wish I would've used the Thank You from the Peaceful Moments set. I'm not sure what I was thinking here, LOL! The sentiment is the only thing I would change. I love everything else about this :) 
It's so fun how the sentiment turns as you open the card!
It folds nice and flat for mailing too! 

As a member of Linda's team, I get to partake in lots of contests and she has GREAT prizes! She usually offers the winners a chance to win $100, $75, $50 or $25 in product! I try never to miss an opportunity to shoot for it because who doesn't want FREE product???!!!

Special Someone Bay Window Cards for the February Stray Ducklings Blog Waddle

Welcome to the February edition of the Stampin' Stray Duckling's Blog Waddle. Our team is focusing on Love for this Valentine's month 💖💋
For one of our class cards this month, I chose to make a Bay Window card. I gave the participants the option to make it a Valentine or a Thank You (the Thank You version is below) or they could choose to make both for an additional fee. 

I LOVE that raccoon from the Special Someone set! He's so adorable, don't you think?!
I've also been using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies nonstop since they came out in the new January - June Mini Catalog. 
The Sentiment in the Valentines Card is from the Tags, Tags, Tags Bundle. And looky, the card folds nice & flat for mailing!
And the Thank You version. 

So.Stinkin'.Cute! Dontcha just wanna squeeze him?! 
I sure do! LOL! 

Now for the rest of our blog waddlers: 

                       Kim Baker   <------You are here

We would love to hear from you! What do you think of our projects today?

Birthday Poppy

Hello Stampin' Friends! 
Today's card is from the Painted Poppies Stamp set. I love that single poppy and bud.  And ooooooohhhh,  that pretty Designer Series Paper (DSP)! This card was very quick to put together, but it looks so nice. We made it in my last class and the participants really loved it.

And check out that ribbon. It's the white crinkled seam binding ribbon. It colors beautifully with the Stampin' Blends. 

Both sentiments are from the FREE Sending You Thoughts stamp set in the Sale-A-Bration catalog. You can earn it just by buying the Painted Poppies Bundle! :) 
Quick & easy - not to mention pretty :) 

You know you wanna make one too! 
~HAPPY STAMPING!~
