Give Creativity a Whirl

If you'd like to share a creative card with your friends and family, try using the Give It a Whirl dies with your stamp sets. Find images and sentiments that fit the window you wish to use and get those ideas flowing. I got several ideas from Pinterest and YouTube from many inventive creators.

The first card is using the Playing in the Rain stamp set and dies along with the Give It a Whirl dies. I did use a retired Designer Series Paper (DSP--Rain or Shine) as well as Basic White and Balmy Blue cardstocks. I used a card designed shared by Wanda Pettijohn as my muse. 

4 1/4" X 11" Balmy Blue cardstock; score in landscape at 5 1/2"

5 3/8" X 4 1/8" Basic White cardstock (front)

5 3/8" X 4 1/8" Designer Series Paper (DSP--I used retired Rain or Shine); die cut with front panel & window (whirl dies)

5 1/4" X 4" Basic White cardstock (inside)

4" X 4" Thick Basic White cardstock; die cut wheel (whirl dies)

1" DSP circle

3/4" X 5 1/4" DSP strip (inside)

Scrap Old Olive cardstock; die cut grass (wheel)

The second card (2 different designs)is using the Silly Goose stamp set.  I used retired cardstocks (Mango Melody and Coastal Cabana) with Calypso Coral, Balmy Blue, Petal Pink and Basic White cardstocks. The DSP is retired as well. I was inspired by Sharni Haines (AU).
