Give It a Whirl with a Stellar Birthday
This fun bright colored card was inspired by a sample in the the Annual Catalog, using the Give It A Whirl Dies and the Stellar Birthday stamp set.
To start I created a template for the wheel to help place the stamped the images. I cut the wheel out of a piece of Vellum Cardstock, then traced the cut out shape from the wheel dies on the Vellum. Then I die cut out the window shape from the wheel. The window shape die is the same size as the cut out on the wheel. Now I have a handy template to stamp images on the wheel.
Once I had the template it was super easy to stamp the images I wanted to use on the wheel. I fussy cut out the little astronaut and die cut the top layer of the card. I use Stampin’ Blends to color in the astronaut and the images on the wheel. On the top layer of the card I heat embossed the stars with White Embossing powder and then brushed on Misty Moonlight ink with a Blending Brush.
For the card Base I used Pumpkin Pie cardstock cut to 5 1/2″ x 8 1/4″, I stamped the stars and planet images along the edges in Pumpkin Pie. I die cut the stars in Silver Foil Cardstock.
Happy Stamping!
