Stamp Review Crew - Swirly Bird

January 1, 2017

Happy New Year and welcome to the Stamp Review Crew Swirly Bird Edition. I am so excited for this new year and the opportunity to stamp and further my craft. The stamp set the crew is focusing on this week is Swirly Bird. The card I am sharing today gives me a bright and fresh feeling ... the perfect way to describe 2017.

The yellow background was created by repeatedly stamping the swirly rose image to create a repeating pattern. Next I softened the background with a blender pen adding just a touch of a watercolor wash. I like the overall effect.

This card also features ALL THINGS THANKS, a fun new verse set from the Occasions mini catalog. I always have the need for a thank you card and the verse 'you are amazing' is the perfect sentiment to say thanks in a different way.

Thanks for visiting today. Next you'll be headed to the very talented Bronwyn Eastley.

Below is a list of project supplies. Stop back often for more paper crafting love!

Swirly Bird - WWYS80

September 5, 2016

Oh my gosh! I love this card and I hope my Grandma loved it too. She fell a few weeks back and has been recovering in a PT facility. She has been in a bunch of pain, even though she hides it well. Hopefully this card brightened her day a tiny bit.

Swirly Bird is the What Will You Stamp challenge set for this week. I used Swirly Bird along with the Time of Year Hostess set to create this card. I've used the Swirly Bird bundle in the past and you can see that sample here. For more inspiration using this stamp set check out the WWYS blog. There are over a dozen talented stampers are sharing inspiration using this set!!! Seriously ... so many things to can create with this one set. Thanks for stopping by.

Greatest Greetings - WWYS 68

June 13, 2016

You've got to love a good timeless greetings set. Greatest Greetings is just that, and it is the stamp set for this week's What Will You stamp challenge. This set works well with just about any image stamp set. I've paired it with the new Swirly Bird Stamp set & Thinletsfrom the Stampin' Up! catalog.

The primary color on this card is Sweet Sugarplum, a new SU InColor. This color is growing on me but I'm not sure I love it yet. Maybe it's just bad memories from a high school dance where I wore a similarly colored dress? Maybe this memory was my subconscious inspiration for this week's card? Between my giant hair and puffy/swirly dress I think this card totally reeks of 1989. What do you think?

We'd love it if you'd join in on this weeks WWYS challenge. Check out the WWYS blog to see all the great inspiration from some seriously fabulous card makers. Thanks for stopping by.
