Whimsy Stamps May Mini Release | Menopause

Hello Crafty Friends!

Whimsy Stamps has a new Mini Release that's available now! Click HERE to shop the new release!

Check out the Design Team inspiration below!

Today I have two cards to share using the new Menopause stamp set and the new WTF? and UGH! dies!

Both cards I'm featuring today are A2 size top folding on #100 cardstock. I colored my images with Copic markers on #80 Neenah Solar White cardstock.

This stamp set is so hilarious! I really loved coloring the thermometer in different colors relating to the caption next to it! There are so many fun sentiments that come in this stamp set. 

Another fun aspect are the WTF? and UGH! dies. They both work so well with this stamp set and many others that Whimsy Stamps carries, as per the design team cards. They really used them well with other stamp sets too! 

Another fun aspect of these new dies are that they have a shadow die to go along with it, I love that with word dies! Also the letters are made to overlap each other, LOVE! I've never seen a word die like this before. If you look closely at my card you can see I used foam tape to pop up the T and the exclamation mark. This gave it some dimension, I think it looks great popped up. 

I left my other card blank on the inside, but wanted to incorporate the UGH! die. So I placed it on the inside of this card with a sentiment from the stamp set and also stamped the lady, then used a pink Copic marker to add just a little color. 

To finished my cards I used a white Gelly Roll pen for high lights and and faux stitching on the word dies. On the second card I also used a Star Dust Glitter Gel pen on her flip flops and sweat.

And that's my cards for today, I hope you liked them! I think they were so fun to create!

Thanks so much for stopping by

 and have a great day!

May Mini Release | Kitty Cat Extras Die Set | Whimsy Stamps

Hello Crafty Friends!

Whimsy Stamps has another mini release that's available now! 

Check out the design team inspiration below!

Don't you just love it!

Today I have two cards to share! I'll be using the fish bowl from the new Kitty Cat Extras Die Set along with some previously released dies and stamps!

My cards are both A2 sized top folding using #100 white cardstock. The card panels are both stamped in a peach color ink using the Criss Cross Gingham Background Rubber Stamp and the largest die from the Rounded Rectangles Die Set and adhered to the card base using liquid glue.

I then die cut two of the fish bowls to stamp my images in using black Copic safe ink because I colored everything with Copic markers. I stamped the fish from the Best Fishes stamp set, on the right then used masking paper to masked her off. Then I stamped the fish on the left and masked him off along with some bubbles. I wanted the fish in the foreground. I then stamped the seaweed and the ocean floor from the Mermaid Escape stamp set, then removed the masks. So basically I'm creating a small ocean in a fish bowl. 

After coloring I stamped the sentiment You & Me from the Goth Doll Girl stamp set. I added shimmer with a Nuvo Shimmer pen, white highlights with a Gelly Roll pen, acrylic bubbles and Glossy Accents to their eyes and the stamped bubbles.

For this card I created it basically the same way, using the same stamp sets and fish bowl die. I stamped my images with Copic safe ink and masked off one of the sea weeds. I removed the mask and colored all the images with my Copic markers. I added shimmer, Glossy accents, white highlights, and acrylic bubbles. The only difference is the sentiment. I heat embossed the sentiment Birthday Fishes! from the Best Fishes stamp set on a black strip and popped it up with foam tape.

And that completes my cards for today, I hope you like them!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

New Mini Release | Wrinkles | Whimsy Stamps

Hello Crafty Friends!

Whimsy Stamps has a new mini release this week! Remember Wrinkles from Paper Door? Well he's back along with a fun new paper pack, a puppy paws die set and a paws and bones border die set! And I can't be more excited, the new release is so fun and so adorable!

Here's a look at the design teams creations!

I have two cards today, one is a shaker card and one is a rainbow card!

My shaker card is a top folding A2 size. I used the Wrinkles stamp set and colored him with Copic markers with E44, E43, E43, E41, R17, B07, B05, B00, and R83. I used the new Woof paper pack for the card panel and die cut it out with the Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die, the new Puppy Paws die set for the shaker part and sentiment. I stacked three layers of the paw prints and acetate on fun foam, added sequins and used pink cardstock for the bottom layer. I die cut the sentiment with the same pink cardstock, and adhered Wrinkles to the bottom left of the card.

I completed my card by adding white highlights with a Gelly Roll pen, shimmer with a Nuvo Shimmer pen, and Sprinklez Sweethearts embellishments.

My second card is also a top folding A2 sized card. I used the smaller puppy paw prints from the new Puppy Paws Die Set. I die cut them in rainbow colors and stacked them for dimension. I added little bones and hearts also from the new die set. I die cut the larger bone for Wrinkles to look like his head was popping up from behind it. For the sentiment I used the Hugs die from the new release. 

To complete the card I used Copic markers E41 and E40 on the bones and white highlights on Wrinkles and the sentiment.

And these are my cards for today! 

You can find the new release HERE.

Thank you so much for stopping by today and have a great day!

Hippo Beach Fun | Mini Release | Whimsy Stamps

Hello Crafty Friends and Happy May!

Today Whimsy Stamps has a new Mini Release that's available now! 

Here's a look at what the design team has created!

For my card today I'll be featuring the new Hippo Fun stamp set, the super pretty 6x6 Rainbow Paper Pack and the Shaker Maker Banner Die Set!

I have four clean and simple cards that were so simple to create! I just love the way they look on the Rainbow paper!

I began my cards by trimming #100 white cardstock to create four top folding card bases, three portrait and one landscape. The one landscape card I just wanted the paper positioned a certain way that I thought looked prettier. Then I used the largest die from the Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die to die cut four rectangles from the rainbow paper and then used the smallest die from the Shaker Maker Banner Die Set and die cut four banners also from the rainbow paper.

 Next I stamped all the images with Copic safe black ink onto #80 Neenah Solar White cardstock. I ran those images through my Brother Scan n Cut and then colored them all with Copic markers.

I then stamped all of the banners with fun sentiments that I thought went with images and popped them up with foam tape and adhered one to the top left of each card panel. Then I used liquid glue to adhere each of the hippos in place. I used strips of black cardstock to heat emboss another sentiment to use on each card. I popped those up with foam tape and place them under each image.

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

Thank you for stopping by today

and have a great day!
