Magical Wonderland (Slimline Connected Rectangles - Whimsy Stamps)

 Happy Monday friends!

(There is such a thing - honest)! (:

Today I am showing you a card I made with a gorgeous new 

Whimsy Stamps

slimline die

Slimline Connected Rectangles Die

This die is soooo elegant and I decided to use it to make a Christmas card to contribute to my own personal 'two Christmas cards a month' challenge!

I created the inky piece of card by blending Distress Oxides in Seedless Preserves, Spun Sugar and Tattered Rose over a piece of Strathmore Bristol Vellum Card.

Then splattered the card with water and Mica Powder.  When everything was dry I splattered white paint over it.  

I then die cut a piece of white hammered card with the 

Slimline Connected Rectangles Die

and trimmed the inky card so it fitted just inside it.

Then again using white hammered card I die cut the gorgeous 

Forest Majesty Die Set

and trimmed and played the trees and deer behind the rectangles.  Once I was happy I glued everything down.

I stamped the Magical Wonderland sentiment from the

 Magical Winter Clear Stamps Set

onto a piece of hammered card and die cut it with a 

Quick Strips Die

Finally I added some Glamour Dust to make the whole scene twinkle!

Magnolia Die - Whimsy Stamps

 Hello everyone...

We have a gorgeous Mini Release today at

Whimsy Stamps

I have used a beautiful new die

Magnolia A2 Die 

by Denise Lynn and Deb Davis (Amped2Stamp)

It is not the sort of product I would usually play with but I have to say I LOVE it!

I made three cards straight out of the box and really enjoyed myself!

I used a selection of inky backgrounds (the ones I hoard)! (: and tried a few different die cut designs.

To be honest, I did n't need to stop at three - I could have made dozens!

I think this slimline card is my own favourite!

Glorious Easter - Savior Sentments Whimsy Stamps

 Hello everyone,

I hope this week is being kind to you.

I had a lovely morning's crafting last week making some quick Easter cards with two beautiful new products from Whimsy Stamps

Savior Clear Stamps by Deb Davis (Amped2Stamp)

Savior Die Set by Denise Lynn and Deb Davis 

I may have said before that I am a total hoarder and I never throw away bits of inky card - well this is the reason why!

I sorted through my scrap card box (yep I have a box!) /-: - and found a few pieces of card that I thought would look great with the Savior Sentiments.

I then die cut the inky pieces with a selection of shaped dies - I also got to use some of the smaller dies in these sets which does nt happen very often!

Pierced and Stitched Circles Die Set

Wonky Stitched Rectangles Die Set

Rounded Stitched Rectangles Die Set

I stamped sentiments from the Savior set on to the inky card and fixed them to a piece of white watercolour card.

I added other sentiments in grey ink around the edges of the designs and then added some sequins.  If you wanted something similar you could use 

Saltwater Sparkletz

or

Snow Crystals Sparkletz

Finally I layered the design onto a second slightly larger piece of white card.

I added a die cut from the 

Savior Die Set 

to create the card above.

Wrinkles can be gorgeous!... (Whimsy Stamps)

Hello everyone,

I hope that despite these odd times you are managing to have a nice Bank Holiday Weekend!

I'm here today with a card that is similar to one already made recently but I like the layout - so - what can I say???

The eagle eyed amongst you will notice the similarity to my Cattitudes card but I thought the design would work equally well for these cute pugs so I had another play!

Happy Skies - Whimsy Stamps - Fresh Friday...

It's my favourite day of the week...

It's Fresh Friday!

This is where we mix up some older and newer stash from wonderful

Whimsy Stamps

This week I am playing with

Happy Sky Clear Stamps by Deb Davis - Amped2Stamp

Smile Large Word Die

The rainbow has become such a special theme these last few months that I decided to choose that as my main design for this card.

First I die cut a piece of smooth white card with the largest

Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die

Then I created a mask with a rectangle aperture and place that over the card.  I then blended blue ink over the aperture to create a blue rectangle on my card design. I flicked a tiny bit of water over the ink to give it some texture.

I stamped the sentiment from the 

Happy Sky Stamp Set

underneath the inky rectangle as shown.

I stamped the rainbow and clouds from the 

Happy Sky Stamp Set

and coloured them with Copic Markers

Clouds - BV31, BG0000, 

Rainbow - R39, R32, YR09, Y17, Y13, YG17, YG13, BG15, B19, V09, BV04, RV19, RV17

Then I cut them out and added some sparkle to the rainbow using Mod Podge and 

DecoArt Crystal Glamour Dust.

I fixed the rainbow and clouds to the card design with

Crafty Foam Tape

Finally I die cut some white card with the 

Smile Large Word Die

and fixed it to the top of the card design as shown.
