The Sentimental Swirls stamp set may be one that you have overlooked in the Mini Catalog. After seeing it demonstrated prior to the catalog debut, I was hooked on it. The various elements that it contains can be used in so many ways. And it makes a quick and adorable card.
Stamps
There are two stamp sets used on this sweet card. The first and most used is the Sentimental Swirls that I mentioned at the beginning. As you can see, the swirl is beautiful. And there are different size flowers, with both the outline and the fill. I used the outline for the larger ones and colored using the Stampin’ Blends, and then punched out. The smaller one is a “fill” shape and is stamped directly onto the cardstock.
For the sentiment, I went to a separate stamp set. This great sentiment is from the Hello Beautiful set. I truly love the sentiment and the mix of fonts. The inside of the card has several of the smaller flowers stamped as well as a Happy Birthday from the Sentimental Swirls set.
Punches and Dies
Regarding the sweet flowers mentioned above, I discovered the larger one fits perfectly in the Flowers & Leaves Punch. It contains two different size flowers and this is the smaller of the ones on the punch. For the centers of the flowers, I used the darkest blue of the Rhinestone Waves in the Waves of the Ocean Bundle. (See the specials at the bottom of the post!)
The arrangement of the sentiment was a result of wanting to utilize the beautiful Misty Moonlight piece of DSP from the Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper. I love the flecks of gold! So the hunt was on for layering pieces that would not totally cover that DSP. The Everyday Label Punch came to the rescue for the DSP piece. It is large enough without being too big. Then I discovered that one of the Layering Circles dies will fit perfectly and leave enough of the great paper showing.
To ground the sentiment, I went with a small strip of the Fresh Freesia paper. Between the flecks of gold in the DSP and the blue rhinestones, you would think I had enough of the bling going. But no…. I had to add one of my current favorite bling items, the Brushed Brass Butterflies. That was the finishing touch the card needed.
