Bee Hap-Bee! - Whimsy Stamps...

Hello everyone!

I hope you are having a good weekend!

I'm back today to show you some more

Whimsy Stamps

mini release gorgeousness!

I have used the fabulous 

Hap-Bee Birthday Clear Stamps - Krista Heij-Barber

First I created the card background by cutting a 10.5cm x 13.5cm rectangle of white card with different sized dies from the 

Nested Hexagon Die Set

I then cut a second rectangle of card the same size and blended distress ink where the hexagonal apertures would be.  I flicked some water over the ink to create a bit of texture.

I fixed the die cut panel to the inky background with
Foam Tape

Then I stamped the gorgeous
 Hap-Bee Birthday Clear Stamps
 in black ink, coloured them with Copic Markers and cut them out.

Copic Markers
YR18, YR16, YR04, Y17, Y15, Y13, N9, N7, N4, BG53, BG10, BG0000

I added some glitz to the wings by using Mod Podge and Crystal Glamour Dust!

I stamped some sentiments from the 
Hap-Bee Birthday Clear Stamps set
onto the design with grey ink.

Finally I fixed the Hap-Bee bees to the card design with
Foam Tape
as shown.

Gothic Die Set - Whimsy Stamps Fresh Friday

Happy Fresh Fri-yay friends!

While you are reading this hubby and I are on our way to our beloved Dorset to spend the day sorting out our caravan in preparation for our summer break next month!

It's going to be a mad and busy day but soooooo worth it when we are tucked up on the south coast for most of July and all of August! 

...anyways...

I'm here today to show you this week's 

Whimsy Stamps

Fresh Friday 

project! 

I LOVE Fresh Friday - this is when we mix it up a bit by using some older and newer

Whimsy Stamps

goodies together!

Such FUN!

This week I have used  

Gothic Die Set 

This card is a bit different for me but I really loved putting it together!

I blended Distress Oxide Inks over a panel of card which I had cut to fit just inside the

Slimline Marquee Die

I then used the

Messy Mesh Background Stamp 

to stamp

and heat emboss over the blended inks in white.

I splattered the background with water and Perfect Pearls and fixed the design to the 

slimline die cut card. 

Next I die cut a set of angel wings and a halo in white card and vellum using the

  Gothic Die Set

I splashed water and Perfect Pearls over the wings and attached them to the background with a twine bow as shown.

I stamped a sentiment from the 

Sympathy So Deeply Sorry Clear Stamps Set

in grey ink in the bottom right hand corner of the card design.

I finished the design by adding some 

Crystal Hearts Sparkletz

I really loved making this card, I think it has so any possible uses!

This Curvy Girl Loves The Beach! - Stamping Bella...

Hello everyone,

Today I'm showing you a 'no lines' technique card coloured with Copics markers.

This is still a fairly new technique for me so I'm very much at the practise stage!

I used the beautiful image

Curvy Girl Loves The Beach by Stamping Bella 

I stamped this gorgeous image in Antique Linen Distress Ink (...big thanks to Alice Huang for the tip)! onto 

Make It Colour Blending Card by Elaine Hughes Marker Geek

I have to say that the best ink by far for the no lines technique is 

Ink on 3 Fadeout No Lines Colouring Detail Ink

but I am long overdue a trip to the opticians and I simply cant see it well enough at the moment!

I coloured her with Copic Markers

Hair E79, E47, E44

Skin E04, E11, E01, E000

Swimsuit R39, R27, R24, R14, Y38, Y19, Y15, C9, C6, C4

Basket YR24, YR23, YR21

I then cut the card to 'slimline' size, masked the edges and blended distress ink around the left hand side of the image.

Finally I stamped the sentiment in

Twilight Ink by Catherine Pooler 

and added some 

Taylored Expressions Summer Nights Sequins

Ingredients from Dies To Die For

Soul Mutts Sunset - Whimsy Stamps...

Happy Fri-yay friends!

I hope you have all had a good week and are staying safe and well!

Today's card is for a very special friend of mine who recently had to say goodbye to her precious four legged family member!

I thought this image from

Soul Mutts Clear Stamps

coupled with a sunset beach scene would make a lovely card to let her know they are all very much in my heart!

I want to thank lovely Amy Young (A Thousand Sheets of Paper) for her background inspiration.

Together - Purple Onion Designs & Stacey Yacula Fundraiser...

Hello friends,

I hope you are all staying well and in good spirits!

I was so chuffed recently when Michele from Purple Onion Designs asked me to be involved in a special fundraising event.

Michele and Stacey Yacula have designed a stamp to raise funds for COVID-19 relief!

Together Stamp Set by Stacey Yacula

Isn't it absolutely gorgeous!

The stamp is a really substantial size and comes with five sentiments.

For every stamp sold $10 will be donated to United Way Worldwide Covid-19 Community Response & Recovery Fund. 

Here is my take on this beautiful image...

...created with special thanks to lovely 

Barbara Sproatmeyer 

for the background inspiration.
