Counting Sheep with the Give it a Whirl dies interactive card

We made this adorable card at my August card clubs this month.  It features the new Counting Sheep & the Sheep dies from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.

Plus it's a view-master card! Remember those?  The Give it a Whirl dies (seen here) on page 163 of the annual catalog are incredible!  I was hesitant to even try using these dies because I thought it would be so complicated to figure out.  But I was pleasantly surprised at how easy and intuitive they are to use. Stampin' Up! really did these up smart! 

Please watch my video below to catch my quick tips for a successful view-master card.

The colors here are Pale Papaya, Balmy Blue, White, Crumb Cake & Granny Apple Green.  We created a background using the Blending Brushes with Balmy Blue & Granny Apple Green ink.

***Heads up on the Sheep dies – Stampin' Up! has a limited supply of these and does expect to run out before Sale-a-Bration is over.  So if you're wanting both the stamp set & dies, get the dies first!

Details:

  • Sheep dies include the fence, balloons and the sheep
  • Give it a Whirl dies – stitched view-master sponged layer, the scalloped circle, clouds, window & stars 
  • I cut the scalloped circle piece from thick White CS since it would get a lot of activity
  • You will need brads & Stampin' Dimensionals for this card to work

I used light Petal Pink and Gray Granite blends to color the sheep.

    Today I have a few more beautiful card swaps from my Flowerbug's Team.  

    First is Jacki's card featuring the Forever Fern bundle.  

    July Jacki Forever Fern Save

    She used two new In Colors; Misty Moonlight with Just Jade.  The stamps are distinktive and the die-cuts in the Forever Flourishing dies are incredible!  I love the touch of vellum she added. 

    Marilyn made this pretty card using the Posted For You stamp set.  This one coordinates with the new Rectangular Postage punch. 

    July Jacki Forever Fern Save

    Her colors are Misty Moonlight with Seaside Spray and a touch of Old Olive.  She colored the images in with Blends markers. The greeting is from the Forever Fern stamp set. 

    Next is Karen's card. She used the Flowers for Every Season designer paper and it is the star of the card. 

    July Jacki Forever Fern Save

    The greeting is from the Celebrate Sunflowers set and that neat scalloped die-cut is from the Tasteful Labels dies.
