Swirly Birthday

I liked Sandy Hancock's musical note card.... found on Pinterest. Thanks Sandy for your clever idea! I changed mine up a bit. Instead of circles for the notes, I chose ovals (well, they're actually balloons - I just cut the opening from the balloon bottom. I also added silver glitter paper to make the card not so black and white.

Botanical Scribbles

I saw Sharon Burkert's card on Pinterest, and fell in love with the colors. Now as I did not have the specific background paper that she had... I used DSP from the 'It's My Party' for my card. The sentiment is a stamp from the Birthday Banners set. I just used portions of the stamp to place the 'birthday' underneath the 'happy' (as the stamp is all on one line).

Here is Sharon's card:

Here is the card Joanne James created which inspired by card! Thanks so much Joanne!!

On my card, I used the 'H' clear block to create the background water rectangle...and topped it with the Swirly Scribbles thinlits to create an ocean.

Now, I cannot take credit for this lovely card. I saw a 4th of July card on Pinterest....and just knew I wanted to create one for the 5 gentleman Veterans.

Here is Kim Jolley's card, whom I copied. Thanks so much for your inspiration!

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!

Supplies Used

Stamp Sets - Number of Years, Swirly Bird

Ink - Emerald Envy

Paper - Whisper White (thick), Emerald Envy, Basic Black, Emerald Envy DSP

Accessories - Big Shot, Large Numbers Framelits, Swirly Scribbles Thinlits, Large Letters Framelits, glue dots, rhinestones

Blossom Scribbles

I'm loving the new Swirly Scribbles thinlits! I saw a few cards on Pinterest using the scribbles as vines and wanted to try that on my card here.

The background is embossed using the Brick Wall TIEF. I then die-cut the scribbles thinlits on my Big Shot using Pear Pizzazz. Using the new In-Colors (Flirty Flamingo, Sweet Sugarplum and Peekaboo Peach), I stamped each color on the corresponding cardstock and used the Pansy Punch to cut them out.

I probably should have stamped the sentiment before embossing the background, but it turned out okay stamping it after I embossed it.

Thanks for looking!

Supplies Used

Stamp Sets - Birthday Blossoms

Ink - Sweet Sugarplum, Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo

Paper - Sweet Sugarplum, Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White

Accessories - Big Shot, Precision Plate, Brick Wall TIEF, Pansy Punch, Swirly Scribbles, glue dots

Swirly Sailing

I wasn't sure I'd like the stamp set -- Swirly Birds, but wanted to get the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits.... and thought that getting the bundle would be a great deal! This is the first card I created with both the stamp set and thinlits! I was so happy with the results.  (Well, except for my over inked red stamp pad that was a little too juicy for my sentiment piece. LOL!).

I used the thinlits for the sun and waves... using the negative pieces for the lighter colors. Creating the ship was kinda cute with all the different stamps to choose from. (There are some stamps I have yet to figure out what they are for, though).  I cut out the boat with scissors.

For the sentiment I used the words from the Birthday Banners set. I decided to make it curved, so that it would flow with the wave thinlit.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Ink - Real Red, Dapper Denim, Chocolate Chip
