Spirelli Fun Shop

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!
Countdown to Grandkids Arriving - 22 days to go!
Today I want to share with you the special cards we made last Saturday at our SaddleBrooke Stampers Fun Shop.  My good friend and fellow FU Buddy Ann - put on this Fun Shop last Saturday and it was all about Spirelli and how to make these amazing and creative cards.  Check out the cards that we made.............
Ann did an amazing job of teaching us how to do Spirelli ..... and basically ..... all there is to it - You wrap thread around any size scallop image and cross over and overlap your thread around the scallop image until you have the look of this amazing project.
Ann showed us how to wind our thread around the scallop and then by adding some punched out flowers to the center of our Spirelli we created a quick and fun image that comes together in a snap and has all the WOW FACTOR needed to create a unique and very eyecatching card.
My next card share was the last card we created ....... The same wrapping concept - but just done a small small small scallop - but done just the same as the larger one above.
We did two layers on this card - wrapping our thread around the littlest flower first and then working on the bigger flower and then layering the two pieces together to create a Spirelli flower that has multiple layers.  GORGEOUS!
And this was to give us the idea of not only wrapping our spirelli thread around the circle pieces ..... but also doing our thread around the actual card was a fun way to learn to add Spirelli directly to our card and that just added one extra layer of WOW to our cards.
This Spirelli was done with some amazing a fun copper metallic thread that Ann provided us with.   I seriously love this Spirelli turned out.......SERIOUSLY a work of art!
MANY THANKS Ann for providing us a SUPER FUN AFTERNOON of learning the Spirelli technique - and for also showing us how much FUN the Saturday Fun Shops are to attend.  THANK YOU!
I'll be back tomorrow to share with you part one of the cards and projects we made at this months Stamp Camp ....... Hope you can come back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!
