Swirly Bird

I love the swirls in the Swirly Bird stamp set and the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits but I think my favorite item of both of these is the “swirly strands” that look like water…..and I you have water, you have to have a boat, right?!

This little sailboat is adorable and very easy to stamp.  I’ve actually fussy cut mine and popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I know, many of you hate to fussy cut.  The boat is actually made up of three different pieces so they’re very easy to cut out.

To make the water the two different colors I just die-cut the “swirly strands” from Dapper Denim card stock, adhered it to Marina Mist card stock that I had lightly sponged with Marina Mist ink and then trimmed the top.  No trimming was needed on the sun because that swirl fits perfectly over the stamped circle.  I tell you….COORDINATION my friends!  🙂

Doesn’t this card just make you go out to the lake and relax?  That’s what it does for me.

Have a great day and a relaxing weekend!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Can you tell that I like the Swirly Bird stamp set?  I think this is the third time this week that I’ve had a post using it!  Well, you can’t get too much of a good thing, right?!

My favorite part of the stamp set is actually the COORDINATING Swirly Scribbles Thinlits.  I can’t get enough of all those scribbles and swirls!

Since this card was for a class I didn’t want to go too crazy so I didn’t use the thinlits at all.  I just used stamped images.  The sentiment and the label are from the Thoughtful Banners Stamp Set and punched out with the Duet Banner Punch.  More COORDINATION!  Woo Hoo!

Really, can a person every have too much coordination?  🙂

That’s what I love about Stampin’ Up! products.  Things work together.  I don’t have to make a guess as to whether this ink color will match that designer paper or if this shaped framelit will die cut that sentiment.  Most of the work is done for me and that makes creating SO much easier.

What do you love about Stampin’ Up! products?  Leave me a comment.  I’d love to know!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
