Hello my friends! Playing with new products is always SO much fun.

De stempelset Swirly Bird is één van de vele nieuwe sets in de nieuwe catalogus (je vindt 'm op pagina 152). En afgelopen week kon ik eindelijk even tijd maken om er een paar leuke kaartjes mee te maken. Er zitten 24 stempels in de set, waarmee je echt superleuke variaties kunt maken. Eén er van zijn deze geinige bootjes. Ik combineerde de In Colorkleuren Dapper Denim en Emerald Envy met Pool Party en Mint Macaron. De toffe cirkels en horizontale golven stanste ik met de bijpassende Framelits Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies. Ze zijn een hele leuke aanvulling op de stempelset. En uiteraard verkrijgbaar in een bundel :-). ***Bestelling nieuwe catalogus - 1 juni 2016*** Vanaf 1 juni kan er besteld worden uit de nieuwe catalogus. De allereerste bestelling plaats ik ook op 1 juni. Dus wil je als eerste de nieuwe producten in huis?! Mail je bestelling dan naar: [email protected] Een fijne dag vandaag & tot stempels! Yvonne

Well. Let me start out by saying, I wasn't prepared to love this stamp set and die bundle as much as I do. In fact, if it hadn't been in the preorder (or certain other stamp sets that I was dying to get my hands on were!) I probebly wouldn't have gotten this set for some months. It was on my wish list, but quite a way down..... But. I can honestly say, I have never used a bundle quite as much, (in such a short space of time) OR loved the resulting creations as much, as I have done with the swirly birds stamp set and matching dies. It's true. I must confess. I love swirly birds, and I love the matching swirly scribbles dies. I really do. They are an amazing set, with the potential for huge variety. (And, joy of joys- if you buy them together, you will get 10% off!) Pairing them with a set like.... Sprinkles of life, or playful pals... Well the variety is almost endless! Here are some samples: Swirly bird kite emerald Envy Swirly bird flower Swirly bird Kite Sprinkles of life clouds . Swirly bird climbing roses I love this card. I want to give due credit to the lovely demonstrator who inspired my card-Ilina Crouse. If you click on the picture above, it will take you to her original post. Ilina Crouse Swirly bird, with bird eggs and swirly scribbles nest. Swirly scribbles nest, playful pals bird Nest tutorial: Did you see those cute nests in the last 2 samples? Here's how you make them! 1. Cut out the "leafy" scribble in the die set 2. Place the die on a contrasting piece of card stock, and trace around it with a pencil. You can skip the leaves of you like. :-) 3. Cut it out 4. Cut the die cut card stock into a nest shape. 5. Put the "nest" on where it will go on the constructing backing piece. Mark the spot with a pencil for future reference. DO NOT GLUE IT YET. 6. Cut up the remaining "swirly die cut" piece into "twigs" 7. Weave these pieces through your nest. Tweezers are very helpful here! 8. Glue in place with a fine tip glue. 9. Position your nest over the backing piece, and glue down-but leaving the top unglued. Let dry completely. 10. Because the top is unglued, you can now trim neatly so the edge cannot be seen. after it is trimmed, you can secure with glue if needed. 11. Add a bird and some eggs if desired! (Bonus Bird Tip- I used the little negative pieces from the swirly scribbles die cut for the plume of the playful pals bird in my new nest!) Playful pals bird, with swirly scribbles "plume" I hope you enjoyed my post-are you looking forward to the new catalog yet? if you haven't got a demonstrator, please feel free to contact me, id love to send you out one! Have a great day- and fit in some creative therapy if you can!

I am so glad I purchased the Hold on to Hope Bundle. I originally purchased it to make sympathy cards for my Mum with a further idea for Communion cards for my son. However, I’ve also used the bundle to make a gorgeous piece of home decor earlier this month and today, I’ve used the Hold on to Hope bundle for a beautiful Easter card. I’m afraid as I looked through… Read More »

One of my favourite cards from my embossing paste class last month was this pretty card. For this card I actually heat embossed the embossing paste. For this particular card I used silver embossing powder. When heat embossing on embossing paste the best results come from allowing the paste to dry for a few hours

Swirly Birds Thinlits & Stamps I participate in a few challenges and thoroughly enjoy the little push outside my comfort zone that these challenges give me. I have been wanting to join in over at the What will you stamp (WWYS) blog for some time now. Finally the stars have aligned I have a spare day & they are showcasing a stamp set I adore! Swirly Birds & Swirly Scribbles Thinlits & here is my card SWIRLY BIRD LOVE #Swirlybirds #Swirlyscribbles #Sunshinewishes #KOCreationcards #Flourishthinlits #Handmade #Love #StampinUp I have added this card to Kylie Bertucci's blog highlights this week. To vote for my card or any of the other entrants please click HERE Voting starts tonight x #Swirlybirds #Swirlyscribbles #Sunshinewishes #KOCreationcards #Flourishthinlits #Handmade #Love #StampinUp #Swirlybirds #Swirlyscribbles #Sunshinewishes #KOCreationcards #Flourishthinlits #Handmade #Love #StampinUp How I Made Swirly Bird Love : I Cut the base card thick Whisper White to 15 cm x 15 cm I also cut a acetate window sheet to 15 cm x 18 cm. I folded this on the 15 cm mark leaving a 3 cm flap at the back I cut the front panel from the thick whisper white at 7.5 using the wavy lines thinlits from the Swirly Scribbles set. I trimmed it to the fold leaving the bottom half intact as shown above. So the top of the acetate and the card base lined up I used a marker I&lined up where I wanted the long scribbles thinlits to sit. I then ran them through the bigshot . Once both the acetate and the base were cut I lined them up and stuck them together by adding Tear & Tape to the 3 cm flap of the acetate. I had to trim the top of the 3 cm flap down by hand to fit snugly. I cut a piece of Crumb Cake card stock 14 cm wide and then marked the top at 14 cm high. I used the swirly scribbles thinlit to match the top of the card base. I used all of the swirly stamps to make rose shapes all over a piece of Sugar Plum card stock. I used Blushing Bride, Sweet Sugarplum & Whisper White ink pads for this, layering the colours for effect. I also stamped a few roses onto whisper white card stock. I then cut the stamped Sweet Sugarplum to measure 13 cm wide and marked it at 13 cm high. I placed the wavy thinlits there at the mark and ran through the big shot. I layered these onto the back of the card, as you can see in the picture below. Using the same technique of measuring and trimming to size I cut two layers for the middle of the card as seen above. I only needed one layer to add to the front and that was the Crumb Cake on top of the existing white card base. #Swirlybirds #Swirlyscribbles #Sunshinewishes #KOCreationcards #Flourishthinlits #Handmade #Love #StampinUp I then cut two strips if the wavy scribbles in Crumb Cake & Sugar Plum. After adhering these strips to the front and the middle using my snail adhesive I cut my stamped roses using the scribbles rose and placing the middle of that over the stamped image. ( I do wish I had a stand to make a video to show you) I also used the smallest shapes from the Swirly Scribbles set and die cut some little centres out of my stamped rose images. I die cut 3 sets of green leaves from the 'Flourish' thinlits set. 2 of these I cut down so I had 3 leaves at the top and a small stem. I then cut the last two leaves so that one had a stem and one was just a leaf on it's own. These were added to each page of the card. Please see pics for more detail. I added 3 roses each to the front and the middle of the card using dimensionals, 1 large and 2 small. I die cut the heart & 3 words - the Heart in Sweet Sugarplum, 'Hope' in Whisper White, 'Sunshine' in Sweet Sugarplum & 'LOVE' in Crumb Cake. I layered the words, one on each page of the card. On the last page I placed the heart under the word Love and also stamped some splatters in Sweet Sugarplum. I stamped the sweet little bird in Sweet Sugar Plum onto Crumb Cake and fussy cut around him. Stamping his feet onto the card then adding him by adhering with a dimensional. To finish it all off I added rhinestones to the center of each flower and tied a piece of Thick Whisper White Bakers Twine around the middle of the card. I added a touch more sparkle by adding \clear Wink of Stella to the lightest part of each rose. #Swirlybirds #Swirlyscribbles #Sunshinewishes #KOCreationcards #Flourishthinlits #Handmade #Love #StampinUp Well I do hope you have enjoyed my card creation today.

Helloooooo my sweet stampin’ friends! Are you ready for a new FLASH CARD 2.0? Today’s card features the Swirly Bird bundle. I shared this bundle with you last week and I told you then it was my favori

These Slider cards were really easy and so much fun to make... I love these cards at the moment, I'm sure you can tell when you see them all. Though I must admit I am missing one from the collection, which I left behind for some to use as a guide (it was was one of my favourites too). So of course I did use this card for a workshop project, and yes...everyone loved it! No, this wasn't the workshop project, though I did bring it along to show the versatility of the card. I Just loved the idea of putting the car on the slider and now I'd have to say this is probably my most favourite one. (This is not my stamp set by the way, I borrowed it from my wonderful friend Shari, who shares everything, lucky for me) Stamps: White Christmas Card Stock: Whisper White & Pool Party Blendabilities: Cherry cobbler, Old Olive, Night of Navy, Crumb Cake & Smoky Slate.

Colours: Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, Early Espresso & Gold Extras: Apothecary Accents Framelits, Gold embossing powder & Print Poetry dsp. Techniques: Embossing This was the first one I started to experiment with (by "experiment" I mean adding embellishments other than a greeting to the moving/sliding tab).

Blendabilities: Daffodil Delight, Old Olive & Cherry Cobbler. Extras: Holiday Homes framelits, Clear Embossing Powder & White Embossing Powder. Techniques: Embossing, Brayering, Masking & Sponging. This one seemed like a good idea at the time... but I didn't quite pull it off, I guess that's what happens when you stay up too late working on the wrong projects : / Stamps: Holiday Homes, Lovely as a Tree & Good Greetings. Colours Basic Black Whisper White, Night of Navy & Daffodil Delight. Framelits: Holiday Homes & Chalk Talk. Techniques: Masking & Sponging. I just wanted to mention here that if you want to save on card stock just cut the length of card to 8 1/4" instead of 81/2". This way you'll get two out of a sheet of A4. You will need change one other measurement though, instead of cutting the slot 1 1/2" from the edge you'll cut 1 1/4", you'll also have a smaller section to stick the card together with ( 1/4" instead of 1/2"). I found changing to these measurements was quite easy to adjust. I just wish I had thought of it before I had drawn up the measurements and instructions... Dawn's Stamping Studio - Slider card Video

Sunday 21 May 2017 Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I'm sharing a card made for the Colour INKspiration Challenge C109.  My card offers a sneak peek of a new item in Stampin’ Up!’s 2017 Annual Catalogue due to be released 1 June. It's the Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack and comes in Berry Burst, Old Olive, Crushed Curry, Dapper Denim and Whisper White. The new catalogue is filled with lots of amazing new products and ideas - you won't want to miss it! So when this challenge called for Dapper Denim I went straight to this new stack. It has six different designs so lots of choice! I used the Swirly Bird stamp set and its co-ordinating Swirly Scribbles Thinlits with the "Hello" and "there" from the Oh Happy Day Card kit. These colours were perfect for a nautical themed card and the Stitched Shapes Framelits square finishes off my card. And of course a bit of twine adds to the theme. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
