The circles from the Swirly Frames stamp set used to made a cute thank you card

Swirly Circles

Today I am sharing a sweet swirly circles thank you card inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest made by fellow demonstrator Rachel Palmieri.

To recreate the Swirly Circles card you will need:

Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded lower left corner
Highland Heather – 5” by 3⅛” – rounded lower left corner
Whisper White – 4⅞” by 3” – rounded lower left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded lower left corner

I stamped the swirly circle from the Swirly Frames multiple times in the upper right corner of the small Whisper White panel. I used Gray Granite ink.

One of the tiny flowers from the Field of Flowers stamp set was randomly stamped inside the interlocking circles.

Using Stampin’ Blends I coloured in some of the overlapping sections. I used Light Flirty Flamingo, light Pool Party, light Highland Heather & light So Saffron. Don’t those colours look great together.

The sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set was stamped in Pool Party ink. I glued the stamped panel to the Highland Heather panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Making the Forever Lovely card

The flowers were stamped in Berry Burst ink or Bermuda Bay ink and die cut using the Lovely Flowers dies. A couple of flowers were also fussy cut using my sharp scissors. I also stamped the leaves in Granny Apple Green ink onto Granny Apple Green cardstock and die cut them. Finally I die cut the small flowers in both Berry Burst cardstock and Coastal Cabana cardstock.

This decorated panel was layered onto a piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” with Multipurpose glue. The whole topper was then added to a Berry Burst card base. I added a trio of Glitter Enamel Dots to add a little shine to the card.

Butterfly Gala and Swirly Frames stamp sets by Stampin' Up! used for the GDP #168

Butterfly Gala used for the Global Design Project #168 challenge

Today I am sharing the card I made for the Global Design Project challenge number #168. I have used the gorgeous Butterfly Gala stamp set and the Swirly Frames stamp set to mimic the gorgeous wreath card designed by Sarah Berry.

Making the card

I began with a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝”. I inked up the largest circle from the Swirly Frames stamp set using Gray Granite ink and stamped it towards the top of the Whisper White panel. Using the Detailed Trio Punch I rounded the upper left and lower right corners of the stamped panel..

I stamped a number of the small butterflies from the Butterfly Gala stamp set onto scraps of Whisper White cardstock in Gray Granite ink and punched them out using the Butterfly Duet Punch. I coloured the butterflies in using the dark Petal Pink, dark Mint Macaron and dark Balmy Blue Blends pens; I wanted to keep to subtle pastel colours for this card. I added a body to each using Gray granite ink. Using the triple tiny butterfly stamp from the Needle & Thread stamp set I added the butterflies randomly around the circle in Balmy Blue, Mint Macaron and Petal Pink ink.

The sentiment from the Butterfly Gala stamp set was stamped in Balmy Blue ink in the centre f the circle and added the punched butterflies using Mini Glue Dots. I added the decorated panel to a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock having rounded the upper left and lower right corners as before. The whole panel was then added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finishe I added some of the lovely Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.

Sweet Animal Outings card featuring the Giraffes by Stampin' Up!

Animal Outings gorgeous Giraffes

Today I have been playing with the quirky Animal Outing stamp set. I was lucky enough to go to OnStage in April and this was an all attendee gift ……..lucky me. For those that don’t know OnStage is the fantastic twice yearly event  for Stampin’ Up! demonstrators where we get together to try out new product, new techniques and generally have a fantastic crafty time. This is the first time I have had a chance to play with this fabulous set.

Making the Card

www.crafty-rootes.com – Animal Outings Giraffes by Stampin’ Up!

I started by stamping the circle from the Swirly Frames stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock 3 ½” by 3 ½”. I then cut this out using the Layering Circle dies and my Big Shot. I masked off the edge of the die cut circle and stamped the sweet leaf image randomly on the inside of the circle. Using a Blender Pen I pulled in the colour from the edges of the leaves to give them a little depth.

Taking some scrap Whisper White cardstock I stamped 2 giraffes from the Animal Outings stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and die cut both images using the Animal Friends dies and my Big Shot. I coloured both images using the Light and Dark Daffodil Delight and the Light and Dark Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends.

I added the stamped circle to a panel of Whisper White measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” and placed the giraffes onto  the circle, one with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the other on Stampin’ Dimensionals…….. they looks so cute.

I rounded the upper left and lower right corners with the Detailed Trio Punch and added the panel to a layer of So Saffron cardstock  5⅝” by 3⅞” with identical rounded corners. I then added the panel to a Granny Apple Green card base with the same rounded corners.

I punched out a number of leaves from Granny Apple Green cardstock using the Leaf Punch and tucked them around the circle.

This is such a sweet card. I hope you like it.
