Swirly #5 - Swirly Bird

This is the fifth and last in my Swirly card series.  There are still so many other uses for the Stampin' Up! Swirly Bird stamp set and Swirly Scribbles thinlits bundle and this last card features the cute bird from the set. 

I started this card with a Stampin' Up! note card which also comes with a co-ordinating envelope.  I used the background stamp out of the You've Got This stamp set and stamped it in Soft Sky ink.   I die cut the swirly nests using the Swirly Scribbles dies in both Bermuda Bay and Sahara Sand card stock and adhered them over the background.  I then stamped the bird, eggs and smallest nest and fussy cut them out before adhering them to the card and added a little Bermuda Bay twine bow.  The 'hello' sentiment is from the Thoughtful Banners stamp set and was punched using the Classic Label punch and layered onto a larger punched piece of Sahara Sand.

Swirly #4 - Hello

This Hello card is the fourth in the Swirly card series that features the Stampin' Up! Swirly Bird stamp set and Swirly Scribbles thinlits bundle. 

Do you sometimes need a card to let someone know you're thinking of them or even a card for a friend with a new home?  Then this card is perfect for such an occasion.

I started with a piece of  Very Vanilla card stock and embossed it using the Brick Wall Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on which I had brayered Cajun Craze ink to get the realistic brickwork background.  I then cut out a rectangle in the brick wall to make way for the window.  I die cut the window using the Hearth & Home thinlet, added the recently retired Sahara Sand lace behind the window and used foam strips to adhere the window onto the brick wall. 

The trellis was made by stamping the Hardwood stamp onto Crumb Cake card stock using Crumb Cake ink and then die cutting it using a Swirly Scribbles thinlit.  The Swirly flowers and leaves were stamped using Peekaboo Peach and Pumpkin Pie ink before being die cut with Swirly Scribbles thinlit.  The leaves were stamped in Emerald Envy.  One leaf was left in the Very Vanilla colour and stamped  in Peekaboo Peach with the 'hello' sentiment from the Thoughtful Banners stamp set.

Swirly #2 - Christmas in July

The Stampin' Up! Swirly Bird stamp set and co-ordinating Swirly Scribbles thinlits whilst an everyday type of stamp set, is so versatile it can be used to create Christmas cards too.  Here's one example.

I started with a Real Red card base and added a layer of Real Red Designer Series Paper Stack striped paper.  I then cut a rectangle of Silver Foil and die cut the Swirly Scribbles Christmas 'ornament' out of the middle of the rectangle.  I stamped in Real Red the Swirly Bird ornament onto Whisper White card stock, layered the Silver Foil ornament over the top for extra dimension and added some Silver 1/8" ribbon to finish the ornament. It was then layered onto a very thin mat of Real Red card stock. The sentiment is from the Peaceful Pines stamp set and was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  A few Rhinestones were added to the card for some extra sparkle.

Swirly #1 - Birthday greetings

One of the first things I look at when purchasing papercrafting products is their versatility. Over the next few weeks I'm going to be featuring projects using Stampin' Up!'s Swirly Bird stamp set and co-ordinating Swirly Scribbles thinlits bundle and will show you how very versatile this bundle is. 

 

The first cards I'm sharing with you are birthday cards (or you can use them for other occasions too).  They feature the same basic design, but I've kept the smaller note card sized one as a single layer card but layered and embellished the standard sized card.

For the smaller, single layer birthday card, I started with a Stampin' Up! note card which comes with a co-ordinating envelope.  I stamped the large circle from the Stampin' Up! Swirly Bird set in Pink Pirourette ink and stamped the swirls over the top in Sweet Sugarplum ink.  The smaller circular swirls were stamped in Sweet Sugarplum and Pink Pirouette too.  I then stamped the two sizes of leaves also from the Swirly Bird stamp set in Pear Pizzazz ink.  The stems of the leaves were then stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink too which results in a slightly darker shade than the leaves.  The 'Happy Birthday' sentiment is from the Rose Wonder stamp set and was stamped in Sweet Sugarplum ink.  

The larger, standard sized card follows the same design as the smaller note card with the swirly flowers in the top left corner of the card.  This time I used a colour combination of Daffodil Delight, Peekaboo Peach and Emerald Envy.  The swirly border at the bottom of the card was die-cut from the Swirly Scribbles thinlits.  The Happy Birthday sentiment and label are both from the Rose Wonder stamp set and co-ordinating Rose Garden thinlits bundle.  I then layered the stamped card onto Peekaboo Peach card stock, Peekaboo Peach striped Designer Series Paper and a Whisper White card base.  A little Emerald Envy Ruched Ribbon bow completes the card.
