Thanks you bunches...

Hello everyone,

I'm here today with a slightly different card from me!

I have used a lovely selection of products by

Whimsy Stamps

to create a delicate thank you card.

Whimsy Stamps - Ingredients

Messy Mesh Background Rubber Cling Stamp

Wonky Stitched Rectangles Die Set

Pierced and Stitched Circles Die Set

Beaucoup Bouquet Clear Stamps Set

Thanks Word and Shadow Die Set

You're Too Kind Clear Stamps

Quick Strips Die Set

Dies To Die For - Ingredients

Beaucoup Bouquet Die Set

The card is so easy to make and the final effect is so pretty!

First, I stamped the 

Messy Mesh Background Rubber Cling Stamp

onto a piece of card and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

I then blended Distress Oxides in Evergreen Bough, Worn Lipstick, Scattered Straw and Faded Lilac over the card as shown. 

Then I die cut the card with the 

Wonky Stitched Rectangles Die Set

and cut a circle from the centre of the rectangle with 

Pierced and Stitched Circles Die Set

With the same circle die I cut a piece of white linen card to replace the circle I had cut out.

I fixed the messy mesh background and the white circle onto a piece of firm card die cut with the same size 

Wonky Stitched Rectangles Die

and set it aside.

Next I stamped and heat embossed in white onto vellum the 

Beaucoup Bouquet Clear Stamps Set

I cut the stamped images out and coloured them on the reverse with Copic Markers, no blending required here, just pick your favourite colours and go for it!

I fixed some flowers and foliage firmly to the left hand side of the circle die.

Then I die cut the 

Thanks Word Die

in silver glitter card and fixed that across the centre of the circle just touching the flowers.

I stamped the 'a bunch' sentiment in black using the

You're Too Kind Clear Stamps

and die cut it with a

Quick Strips Die

Finally I fixed the sentiment to the right of the card design.

Love for Australia...

Hello everyone, 

Happy Fri-yay!

Lovely Crissy Armstrong has designed a set of beautiful images to show our love and support for Australia through the awful time they are having with bushfires.

...and what's more, the wonderful folks at Whimsy Stamps have decided to donate proceeds made from these stamps to the wildlife relief fund!

I chose to use the gorgeous

Love For Australia - Koala 

I printed the Koala and die cut it into a circle with the Whimsy Stamps

Pierced and Stitched Die Set

Then I coloured the background with Copic E19 and E15 and sponged it with Copic Colourless Blender.  I also used the Colourless Blender marker to make lots of different sized circles over the background. 

I coloured the gorgeous Koala with Copics

W7, W6, W4, W2, W1 and used a pink pencil to add the rosy cheeks.

I coloured the eucalyptus tree with

E55, E57, E41, E44, E47, YG99, YG63, YG61.

I layered the image onto a piece of Whimsy Stamps

Giraffe 6x6 Paper

which I had die cut with Whimsy Stamps

Notched Squares Dies

I tore a strip of vellum and stamped the Tenderness sentiment from

Polka Dot Pals Syeda Clear Stamps Set (Barbara Sproatmeyer)

onto it.

I wrapped the vellum sentiment around the card design as shown.

Finally I added some dots of 

Star Dust Stickles Glitter Glue

around the sweet Koala and made his/her nose shiny with some 

Glossy Accents

Happy New Year and Giraffes!...

Happy New Year everyone!

Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2020!

Today is the start of 

Whimsy Stamps

new release fun!

My card today was made with 

Giraffe Smiles Clear Stamps by Deb Davis 

I stamped the 

giraffes 

on white card in black ink and used the matching

Giraffe Smiles Die Set

to cut them out.

I coloured them with Copic Markers

YR04, Vo4, Y17, E09

and set them aside.

I then die cut a pice of white card with the 

Slimline Windows Die

Next I blended blue Catherine Pooler Inks (Suede Shoes and Stone Blue) over a piece of white card using a cloud template made with the 

Grass and Cloud Edger Die Set

I also die cut this with the 

Slimline Windows Die

and used the clouds to make the panels in the windows.

I stamped sentiments from the 

Giraffe Smiles Clear Stamps 

set onto the design and fixed the giraffes to it as shown.

Finally I added some enamel dots to the clouds.
