Swirly Birds II

Swirly Bird stamp set is so easy to use.  Here is a card that is super simple to make.  It is using the circle stamp that has circles that make it look like a flower.  I used two colors but you could use so many different colors to make this work for whatever occasion you want it to be for.  This card is for a birthday.  Many of my customers are looking for birthday cards, so I thought this would work great. 

 



Here you can see I pulled it the flowers on the inside too.  As you know I love completing my cards with all my customers.  What do you think?  Janice

Swirly Birds Stamp Set

On Sunday I told you about how because I am a SU demonstrator that I was able to preorder a few items.  Well the stamp set Swirly Birds was one of the stamp sets and framelits we could order.  I was hesistant at first with the stamp set.  I loved the framelit shapes.  But as I started looking at it I realized there were lots of things that could be made with this stamp set.  So I knew I would have fun.  Well I have been.  Here is a very simple but fun way to use this stamp set and framelit.

 

 

I used Marina Mist to make the waves using the framelit.  Just love that look.  It is going to be a great framelit to use for many things.  Can you see a vine of flowers?  Weaving in and out with different colors.......  Oh boy this is going to be fun.  OK back to this card.  I used real red for the sails and Sahara Sand for the boat.  I used Crushed Curry for the sun.  I did not put a saying on it because I thought that I would use it for a note card to someone.  So as you can see below I did a simple sailboat in the corner on the inside.  That leaves me lots of room to write a note to someone special.  

 

Stay tuned for more cards and ideas using the Swirly Bird stamp set and framelit.  Janice

 

New SU catalog

I am off to a new start with my blogging.  I hope you will follow me and enjoy what I am doing. 

June 1st was the new kick off of a new Stampin' Up catalog.  I must say I am in love with soooo many items I cannot wait to get everything. 

 

As a SU demonstrator I got to preorder a few items.  Well the best was the new incolors.  Loving them.  They are such beautiful colors.  Of course we all are a little skeptical when they tell us a change is coming.  But it usually only takes a few times playing with them and we are loving them.  Well this year's incolors took me one real live look and I was in love.  I think my favorite will be Dapper Denim.  Don't we all love denim?  Well the Peakaboo Peach is also one of my favs.  If you have not been to my house to see them you are missing out.  Here is a sample I made using a few colors.

 

This card is using the Pink Flamigo cardstock, ribbon and ink and Emerald Eny cardstock, ribbon (small piece hanging down) and ink.  I used my favorite tool, Wink of Stella (clear).  I just love painted with it.  You cannot see well in this picture but it does have sparkle to it.  I also used the new circle framelits.  This was a must have.  I love that SU has come up with an easy to store way to get lots of shapes and sizes.

 

Below you will find the inside of this card.  In my classes you will always do the inside.  It is a must to finish off the card.  I don't want you going home without a completed card.  Unless you have a special stamp at home that you want to use.  I will let you do that.  :)

 

I hope you found this card to be inspiring for you.  This is a card we will be doing at my card class this Saturday and the following Wednesday.  Make sure you RSVP to have a spot saved for you.  I look forward to hearing and seeing you.  Janice

 

Paper Pumpkin

I love getting my paper pumpkin every month.  It is always fun to be surprised.  The last one was a calendar.  I love to have calendars to keep me posted on what I am doing and what day it is.  This is going on my desk at my day job.  Love this.  I hope you enjoyed yours.  I know they sold out fast.

The Sky's the Limit

For those of you looking for stamp sets for the men and boys in your life, this is a stamp set that fits the bill.  My husband loves planes.  Especially stunt planes.  Not me.  I'd get sick with one stunt which is much less than what he likes to do.  Years ago when we lived in California he would go up with a friend and do stunts.  Many stories to tell me now.........  Back then I was not told quite as much.  But that is all fine.

Well this card is one I made using that airplane. 

It is difficult to see in the picture but there is a stream of smoke coming from the plane and I added the Happy Birthday to the end of it.  Sky writing is so fun to see.  I hope this inspired you to get this stamp set.  It is a limited time for SAB.  So order $50 of product so you can get this stamp set free.
