Today’s card is just a totally stamped card except for the little embellishments on the greeting, the Swirly Bird Stamped Flower Card. I really had kind of a feeling of going back to the “olden days” when I finished it before we had dies. It’s JUST stamping! Nothing fancy, just playing around with the Swirly Bird Stamp Set.

The card base is Delightful Daffodil with a layer of Melon Mambo. The flowers are stamped on Whisper White Cardstock. I just chose all “Brights” colors for this card! The flowers are stamped in Coastal Cabana, Melon Mambo, and Daffodil Delight and then overstamped with different colors. The leaves are stamped with Granny Apple Green, sometimes stamped off. The little flowers are stamped in Mango Melody. The little green centers are filled in with the Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Write Marker in the Brights Stampin’ Write Markers.

The greeting is from Itty Bitty Greetings and stamped in Melon Mambo. I punched it out with the Classic Label Punch then layered it on a piece of Melon Mambo that I just cut a little larger than the punch. I couldn’t resist adding two Glitter Enamel Dots in Granny Apple Green.

We are past the deadline now for any stamp sets that sell out. Stampin’ Up! will not make more of the retiring stamps. It’s hard to believe that this month is going by so fast! Soon the new Stampin’ Up! catalog will be out!!

If you are interested in Stampin’ Up! products and do not have a Demonstrator with whom you are working, I’d be happy to help you and send you a complimentary catalog if you want/need one. Just email me with your contact information.

Sometimes it is fun to just do some basic stamping. Just stamping! Try it! Get out one of your stamp sets you haven’t used in awhile and just do some #simplestamping like this Swirly Bird card.
