Udderly fabMOOLous | Whimsy Stamps April Release

Hello Crafty Friends!

Today I have a shaker card using the new Cow Friends stamp set, the new 6x6 paper pad Eggstra Bunnies, from the March release the Nested Hexagon Die Set and the previously released Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die.

To begin my card I created the card base using #100 white cardstock trimmed down to and A2 sized top folding card. From the new paper pack I die cut a sheet of the pattern paper and then adhered it to the card base with liquid glue. Then I used two dies from the Nested Hexagon, placed one inside of the other, taped it to my die cutting plate and then ran it through my manuel die cutting machine. This is what I'll use to create my shaker.

I stamped the cow on #80 Neenah Solar White cardstock with a black Copic safe ink, then used my Brother Scan n Cut to cut him out.

To create my shaker, I also used the hexagon die to die cut a piece of acetate. I used 1/8 inch Scor Tape to adhere the acetate to the back of the hexagon. Then I used two layers of foam tape around the back of the hexagon over the acetate, now it's ready for sequins.

But first I removed the backing paper from the foam tape, except for the top of the hexagon. I used a powder tool along the sides of the foam tape to remove the stickiness so the sequins won't stick the sides. I placed the hexagon on the card, then from the top I added a ton of sequins, probably to many, but I have plenty. Then I removed the last piece of backing paper from the foam tape and sealed it shut. I adhered the cow with liquid glue and the sentiment right below the cow. The sentiment Udderly fabMOOlous, I heat embossed with a Bright White embossing powder from WOW! I used a combination of liquid glue and foam tape to adhere it.

To finish the card I added white highlights to the cow with a Gelly Roll pen, shimmer with a Nuvo Shimmer pen, and a combination of acrylic dew drops and confetti sequins around the card. So much fun!

Happy Easter | Whimsy Stamps

Hello Everyone and Happy Easter!

I have a bright and colorful Easter card today featuring the new Eggsta Special stamp set and the new Springs Bunnies along with the Hoppy Spring stamp set and the Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die!

I began my card by die cutting a piece of #80 Neenah Solar White cardstock with the Wonky Stitched Rectangle die. Then I stamped the egg images from the Eggsta Special stamp set on the card panel and masked it with masking paper. I ink blended a sky with Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean distress oxides and the grass with Twisted Citron and Lucky Clover and leaving a white space. I stamped more images using the Spring Bunnies and and Hoppy Spring stamp sets and die cut them out with their coordinating dies. I die cut the grass die from the No See All Seasons Die Set from green cardstock and ink blended the bottom with Shabby Shutters distress oxide ink. Then I colored the Eggs on my card panel and the other images with Copic markers.

I arranged all of the images on the card panel with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape. I stamped the sentiment Happy Easter on the card panel twice and the second time my panel shifted in  my Misti, So instead of throwing all of that work away I stamped the sentiment again and trimmed them to strips and popped them up with foam tape over the original sentiment.  

To finish my card I added white highlights with a Gelly Roll pen, shimmer with my Nuvo Shimmer pen, and clear acrylic bubbles around the card.

Another fun Easter card completed!

Spring Bunnies | Whimsy Stamps April Release

Hello Crafty Friends!

I have another Easter card today! I'm using a lot of different stamps and die sets for this card. I'm using he new release Spring Bunnies, the Criss Cross Gingham Background stamp, the previously released die No-See All Seasons Tree Die, the Build a Basket die set and the sentiment and a ladybug from the Hoppy Spring stamp set! I really love everything used on this card and the All seasons die is so awesome to have in your collection, it can be used anytime or even on it's own! Whimsy Stamps basically just has the best stamps, I love this company!

I began my card by stamping my images on #80 Neenah Solar White cardstock with a Copic safe black ink, and die cut them out with the coordinating dies. I colored the images with Copic markers and then began all the die cutting, which is my favorite part next to Copic coloring. I swear I could sit and die cut all day!

I inked the edges of the tree and grass with distress inks and inked the card panel as well. I used the Criss Cross Gingham Background stamp to add texture to the Easter basket. I used Copic markers to add shading to the bunny in the basket and the bird in the tree.

I used liquid glue to adhere everything to the card panel and trimmed off anything that was over hanging on the card. 

I heat embossed the sentiment Hoppy Easter on a black strip of cardstock and adhere it with liquid glue as well.

As a finishing touch I added white pearls and iridescent bubbles to the card along with shimmer from my Nuvo shimmer pen, white highlights with a Gelly Roll pen, and Glossy Accents. I really love the way this card turned out!

Hoppy Easter | Whimsy Stamps April Release

Hello everyone!

I hope you're all doing well and are busy crafting during this pandemic that's keeping us all homebound. I'm happy to have crafting as my outlet, especially during this stressful time. And I can't believe Easter is Sunday and my seventh wedding anniversary is also Sunday! We'll definitely be staying in, but we don't mind at all.

Now to my card. Like I said I can't believe Sunday is Easter, and I frantically gathered Easter cards I've made and mailed them today! But my card below and a few others will get mailed tomorrow. This one and the others will be for my grandchildren.

For the April release, Whimsy Stamps came out with a Nested Pierced Egg Die that I couldn't wait to use! I've use that today along with the new 6x6 paper pack Eggtra Bunnies and the previously released Easter stamp set Hoppy Easter!

I began my card by stamping the images with black Copic safe ink onto #80 Neenah Solar White cardstock. I colored the images with Copic markers and use the coordinating dies to die cut them out. I die cut the largest egg from the Nested Pierced Egg die also with Neenah Solar White cardstock.

For the egg I used distress oxides and post it making tape to create a rainbow. I die cut a piece of fun foam with the same egg die to place behind the rainbow egg to give it dimension. Then die cut one of the paper patterns from the Eggtra Bunnies paper pack with a rectangle die from my stash and used liquid glue to adhere it to a lavender A2 sized top folding card base. I adhered the rainbow egg with Scor Tape and centered it on my card, then used liquid glue to adhere the bunny, egg and sentiment Hoppy Easter which I heat embossed.

To finish the card I added white highlights to the colored images, iridescent bubbles, and jelly bean enamel shapes around the card.

I love the way this card turned out, and I especially love the rainbow egg!
