Stellar Birthday Meets Give It A Whirl Card

Welcome to our Use Your Stash Blog Hop with the Ink & Inspiration team. We are featuring whatever we have in our stash today. I picked up this Stellar Birthday stamp set during the last Stampin’ Up! stamp sale and I had not put it to ink just yet. So…..here’s my first play with this and the Give It A Whirl Dies. Ta Da! The Stellar Birthday Meets Give it a Whirl Card was born!

This set needs a starry night background in my opinion so I created my own. Starting with a piece of Basic White card stock (5 1/4″ x 4″) I used my blending brushes to spread several bright colors….Granny Apple Green, Mango Melody and Polished Pink – around the card stock. Then I covered it with Night Of Navy making it heavier around the outside of the card and leaving a few areas lighter. On top of that I added some Memento Tuxedo black ink. When I thought I had enough, I added a few drops of White Craft ink re-inker into the lid of my white ink case. I used a wet water painter to pick that ink up and splattered it across the ink blended background. I love how it looks!

The rest of the card was pretty straightforward. I used the Give it a Whirl die to cut the top. After I cut out the circle/wheel, I stamped a sentiment from the set in two spots and the planets in the third section all from the Stellar Birthday stamp set.. The astronaut, dog and rocket (also from Stellar Birthday) were stamped on Basic White, colored with Stampin’ Blends and then fussy cut. The dies for the stars are also a part of the Give It a Whirl die set.

I am sure I will use those dies to make lots of other cards as well. They are fun and make it easy to create an interactive card.
