Big on Swirls

Such a cute and versatile stamp set! This is the 'Swirly Bird' stamp set... along with the sentiment from 'Big on Birthdays' stamp set.

I chose the colors red, white and blue for two reasons. One my "nephew" loves the Indians and his birthday is in July! What a great color combo to work with!

Thanks for taking a peek!

Supplies Used:
Stamp Sets - Swirly Bird, Big On Birthdays
Ink - Real Red, Blueberry Bushel, Memento
Paper - Real Red, Blueberry Bushel, Whisper White
Accessories - scissors, dimensionals

 

Special Bird

There are many different wood patterns in the Wood Textures DSP (Designer Series Paper) that make each card you make unique. I thought to pair the white -washed wood paper with Red and Crumb to create a holiday feel. Here's a get-well card for my brother who is having surgery on his hip during the winter months here in Ohio. Here's hoping that he heals quickly and is back on his feet soon.

I used several different stamp sets here.... the sentiment is from 'Rose Wonder'; the leaves are from 'Special Reason' and the bird is from 'Swirly Bird'. (I did use scissors to cut the bird out... I was surprised it didn't have a coordinating thinlit).

Banner Birds

Such a fun card! I cannot take credit for it as I found the design on Pinterest! I loved the colors so much... I used them on mine too!  Thanks Diane Ouellette for your wonderful card. Here is what her's look liked:

See... almost identical! I used scissors to cut out each pinwheel (sail)... the middle piece is from the Swirly Birds stamp set and has a matching die-cut within the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits.

Sending Swirls

 


When I saw Sue Vine's card on Pinterest... it was so very beautiful, I had to try one of my own. I used different colors and sentiment stamp, but as you can see I used her lovely layout of flowers.
My card is for my Aunt who recently had knee surgery and is now recuperating at home... so I wanted cheerful colors to brighten her day.

Swirly Year

I saw a cute card on Pinterest with the word "SMILE" in cut out letters on a card and thought what a cute idea.... I could do that for a Happy Birthday card. I think it turned out great! I added a few flowers around too to make it more feminine.

Now, I do have to say... the colors in the photo are off... it looks blue. The color is actually green -- the new In-Color - Emerald Envy. I'm sure any color would work well with this though. =)

Thanks for taking a peek!

Swirly Banner

Okay, so I have a confession to make... when I got the stamp set "Swirly Birds" I was perplexed as to what to use the 2 double triangle stamps for... I couldn't figure it out.  Luckily, other Stampin' Up! demonstrators figured it out and posted cards using those 2 stamps - whew!  They were used for making kites! LOL!

I'm happy to say that I was able to play with them, and came up with this great card!

I also used the Perfectly Artistic DSP for the background. I believe it's a fitting background for the kites!
