Swirly Thank You

Welcome back to Monday Montage!!!  We have another fabulous hop in store for you this week!  Make sure you click on the links below so you don't miss any of the creations...we promise you will love them all!

I held my monthly card class over the weekend and I was struggling to come up with ideas for my last two cards.  I had no problem coming up with ideas using some of my new items from the 2019   Holiday Catalog, but deciding on what stamp sets to use from the Annual Catalog had me stumped!  Since I was running short on time, I grabbed the adorable Sweetly Swirled stamp set and had a cute card in no time!

I love the swirly circle and ovals...they are so FUN!  And the little leaves and flowers...LOVE!  I used the swirly circles to create the background and the swirly oval for the flowers and sentiment, then added a few strips of paper in colors to coordinate with the flowers.  Quick, easy and simply swirly!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Very Vanilla, Mint Macaron, Blackberry Bliss, Terracotta Tile

Ink ~ Mint Macaron, Blackberry Bliss, Terracotta Tile, Gray Granite

Stamp Set ~ Sweetly Swirled

Other Supplies ~ Layering Ovals, Linen Thread, Basic Rhinestone Jewels

I'm always worried about having cards that are too simple (or boring) at my class, but this card was a hit!  Everyone LOVED this stamp set!

Next up in hop is my crafty friend Cathy...her creations are always so awesome!  Or if you'd like to take a hop back, you'll find the amazingly talented Amy...I love her style!

Thank you for stopping by today!

Happy Stamping!

Sweetly Swirled Friendship ~ HSSIC#319

Hello and happy Tuesday stampers!  It's time for an all new Hand Stamped Sentments Challenge and this week we have a beautiful inspiration challenge for you to play along with!

I got a new box of stamps and supplies last week, which included the adorable Sweetly Swirled stamp set.  The pretty wreath in the inspiration photo was just the inspiration I needed to pull this stamp set out to create my own wreath.

The shiplap couldn't be ignored either!  The Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder worked perfectly for creating a faux shiplap background for this card.

I am loving this beautiful color combination too!  Terracotta Tile is quickly becoming a new favorite.  It goes so well with so many other colors!  

I stamped the swirly circle image as well as a few flowers and leaves, then fussy cut around the stamped images to create my wreath.  I added a few more fussy cut flowers to give the wreath a little bit of dimension and finished off the card with a simple "FRIEND".  This is a great card to send to a friend for any occasion!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Terracotta Tile

Ink ~ Gray Granite, Petal Pink, Grapefruit Grove, Terracotta Tile, Soft Sea Foam, Granny Apple Green, Soft Suede

Stamp Set ~ Sweetly Swirled

Other Supplies ~ Well Written Dies, Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder, 2019-2021 In Color Faceted Dots

I'm going to try to sneak in a little more stamp time this morning before I have to get back to work setting up for our yard sale this weekend.  I dread doing this, but it's always nice to clean out the house and it's always great to have a few extra dollars for back to school shopping for the kiddos!

Be sure to join in the fun and show us how you were inspired to create!

Have a great week!

Happy Stamping!
