Swirly Sailboat Sunshine Sayings Cards
I've been so pleasantly surprised at how versatile the Swirly Bird stamp set and Swirly Scribbles Thinlits have been. There are so many fun cards that I've seen created with this awesome bundle!
I especially love the wave die-cuts and I couldn't wait to try them with the adorable little sailboat images for a fun masculine card! I think my "Last Thursdays" class attendees are going to have fun with this one!
Background Basics—This card begins with a Dapper Denim card base, stamped with the Swirly Bird splatter image all over the card front in the same color ink. I added a 1" x 5-1/2" strip of striped Real Red Designer Series Paper from the Brights DSP Stack.
Swirly Sea—I started with a 3-1/4" x 3-3/4" piece of Whisper White card stock for the focal point. I die-cut the Swirly Scribbles waves from Soft Sky card stock, then adhered it onto a 3-1/4" x 1-1/4" piece of Dapper Denim using the Fine-Tip Glue Pen. Once it was secure, I trimmed off the ends of the waves flush with the edges. I also trimmed the top of the Dapper Denim card stock flush with the curve of the wave. It's adhered to the background with SNAIL.
Swirly Sailboat—The sailboat is created with three separate Swirly Bird images, but they are easy to position because of the all-clear photopolymer style. I stamped the boat first in Dapper Denim onto Whisper White scrap, then added the small sail in Soft Sky and the larger sale in Real Red. It's hand-cut and popped up with Dimensionals.
Swirly Sun—The sunshine is stamped with the Swirly Bird small swirl in Daffodil Delight ink onto Whisper White scrap, die-cut with the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits, then popped up with part of a Dimensional.
Bundle It & Save—Save 10% when you purchase the Swirly Bird stamp set and the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits together in a Bundle!
Sunshine Sentiment—The greeting is stamped in Dapper Denim ink using a combination of words from the Sunshine Sayings stamp set.
Finishing Touches—I tied some Whisper White Thick Baker's Twine around the layer before adhering it to the card front with more Dimensionals. The twine gives a nice nautical look of a rope, don't you think?
Two Cool—I tried a horizontal style with the same elements, and I love it this way, too! I decided to keep the Dapper Denim sea straight on the top this time and I think I like it better.
The Sunshine Sayings stamp set has so many options for greetings. I liked this one about hope!
