Making a fun background with Swirly Bird

Making a background paper using stamps is one of my most favorite stamping techniques. It's just so fun. I've never been able to make the same pattern twice and that makes this technique more fun. It's always one of a kind.   

For this card, I stamped swirly stamps on top of each other, like 2 step stamping. I'm not sure these stamps are meant to be 2 step stamping but I like how they look. I put Wink of Stella on the swirly part. 

Swirly Bird set-this is so versatile, you can make a lot of different images by combining stamps in the set.

Sentiment is from Love and Affection set.

Flirty Flaming matted on Watermelon Wonder. Surprisingly these two colors go really well together.

Stampin' Up! Project Life -Hello Lovely Card Collection & Accessory Pack

It's been a little over a week since I uploaded a post last time. One of my stamping friends from Japan came to stay with me for a week. We talked about stamping, stamping and stamping while  enjoying our outing in Sydney, great food and wine. She went back to Japan last Saturday. It was really hard to say good-bye after such a fantastic week we spent together. 

Well, back to reality now. 

When I saw Hello Lovely Card Collection and Accessory Pack for the first time, I instantly fell in love with this kit.  I wanted to try some techniques I learnt from other talented demonstrators. 

This is one of them; making a shaker element with Washi Tape.

The cute little calendar, month and numbers are from new Project Life stamp set, Date It set.

Usually in a number stamp set, you get individual number from 1 to 0 so when you need '12 ', you stamp '1' and '2'. It's hard to align two stamps perfectly together. However, this set gives you  whole calendar number stamps, which means  '12 ' is one stamp. You just stamp once and get a perfectly aligned number!!!!! Am I the only one to get really excited with it? You'll know how fantastic it is if you ever tried to stamp numbers, using 2 stamps. 

Hello Lovely Project Life Card Collection

Hello Lovely Accessory Pack

I'm now very comfortable to chop photos. Most of the time people don't notice the photos were cut until I pointed it out and they think that makes the page more interesting.

In fact ladies who come to my project life class now want to chop up their photos for the sake of chopping up. They often ask me what photos of them can be chopped up.

I used Washi and some stickers from Hello Lovely Accessory Pack. The accessory pack has a coordinating stamp set.  I stamped little flowers and branches on a card stock to coordinate with a card collection in the kit

                             

I like making one 12"x12" layout to accompany project life pages. It's like a title of the book for me.

Using the same kit for 12"x 12" layout makes it easy to create a coordinating page. And it's really quick as well because you don't need to embellish a lot.

This is how the last two pages look together.

You & Me with Swirly Bird-Global Design Project #GDP040 & Team Project Highlight

This week's Global Design Project Challenge is to CASE the super talented Shawn De Oliveria.

To CASE his great design I chose Swirly Bird stamp set and coordinating dies. Get these as a bundle so you get 10% discount. This is a Two-Step Stampin' set. You can combine individual stamps to build a lot of different kinds of images in the colors you want.    

I created kites.

My favorite sentiment set again with the coordinating punch. I love the look of two banners  together. Thoughtful Banners set has cute little stamps to decorate inside of the banner stamp. The little bow is not from this set but from Swirly Bird. See how little stamps from both sets go perfectly together.
So cuuuuuuuute !!
