Flight & Airy Happy Birthday

I’m finding it quite therapeutic to use my Paper Snips scissors to cut images out of Stampin’ Up!’s beautiful Designer Series Paper. And I couldn’t resist CASEing this stunning card by Kim McGillis, unsing the Flight & Airy free Sale-a-bration DSP, the Scalloped Contours Dies (retiring April 30), and the Something Fancy Stamp Set (NOT retiring! YAY).

Say everything you want to say with the Something Fancy Stamp Set. This stamp set has all the sentiments you never knew you needed! From classic well wishes to snarky celebratory statements, the Something Fancy Stamp Set says it all in a beautiful modern font combo. Also available in French.
