Whimsy Stamps June Mini Release

Happy Monday Crafty Friends!

Today Whimsy Stamps has another fun mini release! And today I'll be showing you two new products, the Burst Background Rubber Stamp and the Super Dogs Clear Stamp Set! So fun! You can check out the rest of the new mini release HERE!

Check out the design teams inspiration! 

My two cards below are both A2 sized top folding cards and basically created the same way. 

The first card is the Super Dog card. I watercolored a rainbow on watercolor paper a few days before I made the card. Since it had ample time to dry I thought this would make a great card panel. I die cut the watercolored panel with the Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die then heat embossed the Burst Background stamp in white embossing powder and adhered it to the card panel using liquid glue. I die cut two clouds from the previously released Comic Burst A2 Die and a speech bubble from the Speech Bubble Die Set, then adhered everything to the card panel. The sentiments are from the Super Dog stamp set.

For my second card I die cut the card panel with the Wonky Stitched Rectangle die and then white heat embossed the Burst Background stamp on to it. I ink blended over the embossing with Picked Raspberry and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxides. The combination of the two inks created an orange which you can barely see. Then I adhered the panel to the cardbase with liquid glue. Just like the first card I die two clouds from the Comic Burst die. I used a butterfly from the Butterflies Clear Stamp stamp set and the sentiment from the Layered Peruvian Lily Clear Stamp. Then I adhered everything to the card panel.

I finished the cards by adding white highlights, shimmer, and clear acrylic bubbles. I love the way these cards came out and I especially love the backgrounds. The Burst Background Stamp will be fun to use on future projects.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and have a great week!

Layered Peruvian Lily | Whimsy Stamps

Hello Crafty Friends!

Today I'm sharing a layered stamp set called Layered Peruvian Lily part of the January 2020 release. No Copic coloring which is so strange to me, but I really enjoyed making this card.

There are three layers to these flowers, but I only used two of the layers for the flowers and the leaves. I created a template for myself so I could line up the flowers and the leaves. I stamped them on #80 Neenah cardstock and then cut the flowers and leaves with my Brother Scan n Cut. I used the negative piece of cardstock to help me line them up. I did that by stamping the first flower layer on my cardstock in my Misti, I placed my template on top, then added my second stamp layer over the template cut out. I closed my Misti door to pick up the stamp, removed my template and stamped the second layer on top of the first layer. This process for me was much easier than lining them up without the template. I'm seriously layered stamping challenged.

After I finished stamping all of the flowers and leaves I cut them out with my Brother Scan n Cut. I used liquid glue and placed all the leaves in a circle on my card base. I popped up three of the flowers on foam tape and the third flower on top has a double layer of foam tape. I added the gold thread underneath the top flower so they could be adhered together. 

I then heat embossed the sentiment Happy Birthday from the stamp set in gold embossing powder and die cut it with a flag banner from my stash. I added white pearls to accent the card, and that finished my card. Easier than I imagined.
