I ordered the Swirly Bird stamp set because I LOVE the swirls that are in the set. There are a whole bunch of other shapes in the set, but I wasn't quite sure what they were for. I ignored them, stared at them for a while... but I still couldn't quite see what they could be. SO, I did a quick online search of the Swirly Bird set. Sailboats! Kites! A bird nest! Of course!! Now this set that I LOVED is now a set that I LOVE EVEN MORE!!!
This sailboat says, "Summer!!" I stamped all of the sailboat parts, and then snipped it out. Don't you love those waves?!?
A few dimensionals pop that sailboat out. A little sun stamped with a yellow swirly, and you're ready to send a fun summer card!
For the small sail, I inked up the stamp with Island Indigo, then stamped off before stamping on my Whisper White. The swirls on the card base are stamped with VersaMark ink.

These kite pieces took a little practice for me. But I used a small piece of Whisper White card stock and snipped them out after I made a few good ones. And then I could cover up the ones that weren't so good. :) Hint: Practice on scrap paper first! The photopolymer set makes it pretty easy once you do a couple practice ones! Maybe you'll be a pro the first time you try it. If not, it's worth the effort to make these cute kites!

This cute little birdie just makes me smile! I stamped it with its nest on a piece of Whisper White card stock, and then snipped it out. The Dapper Denim swirl makes the perfect background for this little bird and its eggs!
When I was attaching the bird to the paper swirl, I used the silicone craft sheet. I didn't have to worry about the adhesive on the back of the bird sticking to my table. Then I added the dimensionals before attaching it to my card.
