Christmas Snow Flurry - Whimsy Stamps

 Happy Sunday friends...

I am sailing in at the eleventh hour with February's Christmas cards!

I am determined to make two a month and as a bonus I have managed three!

I want to say thank you to the designer who inspired me to make these - I saw a similar pic on Pinterest - however, I don't know their name, so if you are out there and see these cards then - thank you!

These cards are made with a selection of goodies from wonderful

Whimsy Stamps 

These cards were really quick and easy to make!

The snowy background is a combination of first and second generation stamping in red and beige ink.  

The sentiments are die cut from the gorgeous Tartan Paper Pad - I am determined to use up every bit of that it is so beautiful!

The finished cards measure approximately 11.5cm x 13cm - just so you have some idea of scale!

Yeti To Party! - Whimsy Stamps

 Hello everyone!

I 'm here on a very wet and windy Saturday to share one of the new release goodies from 

Whimsy Stamps

Yeti To Party Clear Stamp Set by Crissy Armstrong 

- cute little chap ain't he! (:

I loved colouring this fabulous yeti!

I die cut a piece of Kraft cardstock with the 

Slimline Card Builder Die

and stamped the yeti onto it with grey ink.

I coloured him/her (?) (: with Prismacolor Pencils, I'll add the colours at the end of the post for you.

Then I borrowed a fabulous design idea from my fab friend Faye at Stampin Fluffnstuff  and used the 

Comic Speech Bubbles Die Set 

to die cut the top of the card in white and add the 

Happy Large Word Die and Birthday sentiment from the 

You're My Favourite Clear Stamps Set

I also added that brilliant cake sentiment from the 

Simple Sentiment Strips Stamp Set

to the bottom of the card.  It is stamped onto a piece of card cut out with the 

Quick Strips Die Set.

Finally I added some Crystal Stars Sparkletz

Polka Dot Pals Vera in a Fairy Garden - Whimsy Stamps

Happy Fri-Yay friends! 

I hope this week has been kind to you!

Today I have been mixing it up with some new and older 

Whimsy Stamps goodies!

Polka Dot Pals Vera Clear Stamp Set by Barbara Sproatmeyer

Build a Fairy Garden Die Set

First I cut a piece of Kraft Card 21.5cm x 8.5cm.

I stamped Vera onto the card in brown ink and coloured her with Copics and Primacolor Pencils.

Confession Time - She was supposed to be coloured solely in Copics but I stamped her on the Bazzill Kraft Card by mistake - which is nt good for Copics! /-:  Fortunately I managed to rescue her with my pencils!

(I'll pop a list of the colours I used at the end of this post)

I die cut the frame for the card using the 

Slimline Birthday Scallops Die Set

and fixed it to the outside of the design.

Next I used the

Build a Fairy Garden Die Set

to die cut kraft card and coloured the toad stools in Copics and pencils.  I fixed them together and added the dots with a white gel pen. 

I layered the toadstools onto the card design as shown with 

Foam Tape

I coated the gorgeous die cut fairies in glitter and added them to the design.  I also added some dots of glitter around them to look as if they were blowing fairy dust at Vera!

Finally I stamped the sentiment from the 

Simple Sentiments Clear Stamp Set

on to the design as shown.

Dudley's Mailed With Love - Whimsy Stamps

 Happy Saturday everyone!

I hope that despite the strained times we're living in you manage to have a good weekend!

I had such fun making today's card - I have n't done much colouring recently.  My concentration has n't been brilliant since I broke my leg but I really enjoyed colouring Dudley so I think I'm finally getting back to some sort of normality!

I used the fabulous 

Dudley's Mailed With Love Clear Stamp Set by Dustin Pike

from Whimsy Stamps 

to make this card.

First I die cut a piece of card suitable for alcohol markers with a 

Notched Square Die

Then I stamped and masked the images working from the front backwards (so - I stamped Dudley first and then masked his nose and the envelope so I could stamp the mail box closer to him!

I used Copic Markers

Dudley - BG75, BG72, BG23, BG11, BG10, YG13, YG01, C3, C1, C00

Mail Box - BG99, BG97, BG95 W8, W4, W1, R37, R35, R05

Envelopes - R37, R05, E41, E40

Grass - G46, G14, YG17, YG13, YG01

I used a Distress Oxide Ink Pad in Tumbled Glass to blend the background around Dudley.  (I did nt mask him, I just 'eyeballed' it! - I have done this a lot and am used to it but you might feel safer masking the image before adding distress inks).

I stamped the sentiment in grey ink and die cut it with a die from the 

Comic Speech Bubbles Die Set.

I then die cut a piece of paper from the 

6x6 Heart To Heart Paper Pack

with the largest 

Notched Square Die

and layered the design onto it using 

Foam Tape.

Finally I added some enamel dots.

Whimsy Stamps Build a Fairy Garden (you know you want to)! ...

Happy Fri-Yay friends! 

I hope the week has been kind to you!

Today's card is made with a gorgeous new die set from

Whimsy Stamps

Build-a-Fairy Garden Die Set

I must apologise for another photo fail - the light is terrible all day here and trying to get a decent photo is proving difficult (and frustrating)! 

First I created an inky piece of card by blending Distress Oxides in Worn Lipstick, Abandoned Coral and Barn Door over a piece of Strathmore Bristol Vellum Card.

Then splattered the card with water and Mica Powder. 

When everything was dry I die cut the card with the 

Build-a-Fairy Garden Die Set

and then splattered white paint over it.  (I do this after diecutting as white paint leaves a slightly raised texture which I rather like and it gets crushed if you add it before die cutting!

I then repeated this with Distress Oxides in Ground Expresso and Pumice Stone.

I combined the inky pieces to create the toadstools and used the paler pieces for those oh too cute fairies!

I then blended Distress Oxide in Speckled Egg over a piece of Strathmore Bristol Vellum Card to create the background and splashed water on it.

Next I created a 13cm x 13cm square of white card and used the the 8.5cm 

Pierced and Stitched Circles Die

to cut an aperture in the centre of it.

I stamped the make a wish sentiment from the 

Simple Sentiments Strips Clear Stamp Set 

onto the card front. 

I layered the white card onto the blue background with

Foam Tape

and assembled the rest of the card as shown, finally adding some glitter glue and some 

Hugs and Kisses Sparkletz 

as a bit of fairy sparkle!
