Stamp Review Crew - Swirly Bird

January 1, 2017

Happy New Year and welcome to the Stamp Review Crew Swirly Bird Edition. I am so excited for this new year and the opportunity to stamp and further my craft. The stamp set the crew is focusing on this week is Swirly Bird. The card I am sharing today gives me a bright and fresh feeling ... the perfect way to describe 2017.

The yellow background was created by repeatedly stamping the swirly rose image to create a repeating pattern. Next I softened the background with a blender pen adding just a touch of a watercolor wash. I like the overall effect.

This card also features ALL THINGS THANKS, a fun new verse set from the Occasions mini catalog. I always have the need for a thank you card and the verse 'you are amazing' is the perfect sentiment to say thanks in a different way.

One color wonder - I stamped the little birdie image on coldpress watercolor paper in Golden Glow ink and then pulled that color through the images with a water brush. I love easy technique to quickly add color. Bird image & sentiment are from the Cutest Crew stamp set. #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakingreels #cutestcrew

Golden Glow. I'm going to try to create a series of one color cards using the new Stampin' Up! InColors. Today I'm showcasing Golden Glow. This new color is a soft warm light gold. It is a calming color and I think it is very a nice addition to the yellows. Those cute bird images are from the 'Cutest Crew' stamp set. Need a reason to make?

Punches for the win. I needed a graduation card so I used two punches from Stampin’ Up! To create the graduation cap. The cap tassle is created using baker’s twine. Modern Oval & Tailored Tag punch. #useyourstash #graduationcard #cardmakingreels
It's been weeks since I created a card and it felt good to sit down and make something. It's graduation season and cards are needed!  I pulled together a few punches and the Bordered in Beauty bundle to create. This card works for two challenges this
It's been weeks since I created a card and it felt good to sit down and make something. It's graduation season and cards are needed! I pulled together a few punches and the Bordered in Beauty bundle to create. This card works for two challenges this week. I'm playing along with @tgifchallenges color challenge using Night of Navy, Granny Apple Green and Smopky Slate. The card layout was inspired by the challenge sketch for @global_design_project #gdp550 #stampinup #cardmaking #graduationcard
