Sentimental Swirls

Hi friends,

The stamping on this card is all from the Sentimental Swirls stamp set (#157996).

I set up the swirl stamp on the Stamparatus (#148187) and stamped the swirl with Pear Pizzaz ink (#147104) on Basic White card (#159228). Then I positioned the scalloped rectangle which was cut with a Stitched So sweetly die (#151690) onto the Stamparatus so when this was stamped it would match the image on the card front, but only seeing part of the image. The stitching on the card front was achieved with the Stitched Greenery die (#155451). The Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon (#155672) was wrapped around the card front, then it was matted with the Pale Papaya card (#155669). The small rectangle was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I stamped the flowers with Pale Papaya ink (#155670) - one on Basic White card and the other on Pale Papaya card (#155669) and these were punched with the Flowers & Leaves Punch (#155373). The small leaves were stamped with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). The bird and sentiment were also stamped with Pale Papaya ink. “Hello” was cut with a Stitched So Sweetly die. 

I added sparkle to the flowers & bird with the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897) and added the Genial Gems (#155500) to the flower centres and the card.

The flowers and sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Sentimental Swirls

Hello everyone,

The Sentimental Swirls stamp set (#157996) has this beautiful swirl with a variety of smaller images of flowers, birds butterflies, leaves as well as some popular sentiments. The Flowers & Leaves punch (#155373) and the Strawberry Builder punch (#154239) from the annual catalogue also co-ordinates with some of the images. 

I stamped the swirl with VersaMark (#102283) onto Basic White card (#159228). Then I added the Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). I stamped the bird with Pale Papaya ink (#155670). Then I dry embossed the card front with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (#156505). Unfortunately this folder hasn’t carried over to the current catalogue so now retired.

The white card front was then matted with Polished Pink card (#155711). I wrapped the White Glittered Organdy Ribbon (also now retired) around the card. The sentiment & one flower were stamped with Polished Pink ink (#155712) and the other flower with Highland Heather ink (#147103). The flowers were punched with the Flowers & Leaves punch. I used a Beautiful Shapes Die (#158046) to cut the sentiment. This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#158130) were added to the flowers & sentiment.

TIP: Always stamp your image first if you are also dry embossing to give you the best image. The image won’t stamp properly if the surface isn’t smooth.
