Stampin’ Up! Australia – Page 16

I have been having fun making samples with the Swirly Bird stamps and Swirly Scribbles Thinlits ready for my Swirly Bird Class tomorrow. I just finished this card today and had to show you now. I really liked how it turned out. I saw an idea for a type of pinwheel using it somewhere, I think on a group I am on?? So I thought I would have a play and see what I could come up with. I wasn’t sure how it would work at first. Here is the end result.

What do you think? Pretty funky?

It’s a simple card in itself. The colours for the pinwheels are from the top right: Emerald Envy and Wild Wasabi; Dapper Denim and Tempting Turquoise; Flirty Flamingo and Melon Mambo and Peekaboo Peach and Tangerine Tango. I only realised as I got to the last one that I was using the new Incolors. 🙂 The “spots” from the stamp set and stamped in Daffodil Delight. The sentiment is from ‘Guy Greetings’. I went through all my stamp sets and thought this font really suited.

The Rhinestones were coloured with a Black Sharpie to add to the centres. The white card was then adhered to a Basic Black mat and the base card is Tangerine Tango.

These pinwheels were really fun to do and being a clear set you can see through the block to line up each stamp. I stamped the shape running across lengthways first and then inked the stamp again and flipped it to run across the other direction. Then inked the other colour and stamped to line up the long edge with the shorter edge already stamped if that makes sense?? I think I will have to try some more cards with these pinwheels!

Go and make some funky pinwheels for yourself. Of course, you need the Swirly Bird stamp set to do this. If you haven’t already got it and the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits you better buy it. This is such a fun and versatile set. Get it as a Bundle and save 10%.

If you are in Australia you can order it through me if you don’t already have a Demonstrator. Head to my Store HERE and place your order or contact me directly.

Thanks for visiting me today.

Have you seen the new Floral Phrases Stamps and the Detailed Floral Thinlits in the Catalogue? They are just so gorgeous. It makes elegant cards so easily. I had a play with them yesterday and thought I would show you my creations.

These cards were inspired by 2 I had seen on a Facebook group I am on. I love the new Dapper Denim Incolor too. It just adds to the elegance. 🙂

The Detailed Floral Thinlits cut so easily. I then placed it on the Whisper White card mat so I could line it up to stamp on the white card. Then I could adhere it in place with the Fine Tip Glue and then to the Dapper Denim Card base. The stamped strip is in Sahara Sand. The butterfly was stamped in Dapper Denim and is from the Papillion Potpourri set.

The Rhinestones add a little sparkle. I debated on whether to tie around some White Baker’s Twine but decided against it. When it was all stuck together though I realised that I should have done it and kept coming back to it. In the end I added a small twine bow.

This second card was in Dapper Denim too. This time I stamped the floral image and then added the “spots” in the Crumb Cake. I wanted to keep the sentiment simple so I stamped the floral border in Crumb Cake on a piece of card strip and then stamped the greeting over the top. This time I added some Pearls for glamour. I sponged the edge of the card too which softens it.
