Swirly Scribbles Snowman


Just couldn't resist making another card using the Swirly Scribbles Thinlets to make a snowman.  Seongsook Duncan had posted her version of her snowman on Facebook, so I was so inspired, I wanted to make one of my own.  The base of my card is the Thick Whisper White, and the second layer is Real Red card stock.  The third layer is Night of Navy and I stamped the snowflakes with Whisper White Craft ink.  I cut out three sizes of the Swirly Scribbles from Whisper White card stock.  I used the Snow Place stamp set for the hat, scarf, twigs, buttons and the Snow Friends Framelits.  Then also cut out a carrot nose.  Such a fun card to make!

Swirly Scribbles Fourth of July

This was a card I created after being inspired by several other patriotic cards using the Swirly Scribbles Thinlet to create the red stripes for my card.  The base of my card is Night of Navy, and the second layer is Real Red.  The third is Whisper White which I used the Lucky Stars Embossing folder and ran it through the Big Shot.  Then I cut 3 stripes of Real Red Cardstock and attached to the front of my card.  I did have to trim the ends.  Then I cut out Night of Navy stars using the Stars Framelit to form a frame around the Silver Glimmer stars I cut out.  I attached Dimensionals to the back of them.  I stamped "Celebrate" in Real Red and cut it out with my new Duet Banner Punch.  Also, a perfect day to post this card on Flag Day too.

Swirly Bird for Father's Day

Have you ever made your own Designer Series Paper?  I watched a video by Kathleen Wingerson and just love the way hers turned out, so had to make it too.   I stamped the larger  swirly stamp on Whisper White with the new In-Color Dapper Denim and then stamped it again with the smaller swirly stamp.  For the water, I used the same DSP that I made, except I sponged it and then cut it out with the Big Shot using the striped Swirly Scribbles Thinlet.  I stamped the sun in Daffodil delight and used a Dauber to color it in more.  I used the new punch called Classic Label, but first stamped in Real Red ink "Happy Father's Day" from the new Thoughtful Banners set.  Just love the way my card turned out by using the Bone Folder to curl the red striped sail to make it appear as it was moving from the wind.

Swirly Bird Bouquet

This is a card I made using the new Swirly Scribbles Thinlets,  There is just so many things you can do with these thinlets.  This card was inspired by Olga Cavanaugh.  The base of my card is Rich Razzleberry and the second layer is the new In-Color Emerald Envy.  I stamped the splatter stamp with the new In-Color Sweet Sugarplum on Whisper White cardstock.  The stripes thinlet from the Swirly Scribbles was used as the stems for my bouquet.  I also cut out some Emerald Envy leaves. Then I cut out flowers from Real Red, Rich Razzleberry, and Sweet Sugarplum.  First, I stamped the coordinating inks to go with my flowers and then adhered my swirly flowers with Multipurpose Glue.
I made a bow with the 3/8" In-Color Emerald Envy Ruched Ribbon (so easy to work with) and I attached to the bouquet with Glue Dots.
