Magnolia Die - Whimsy Stamps

 Hello everyone...

We have a gorgeous Mini Release today at

I have used a beautiful new 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!

Slimline Hearts Background Die - Whimsy Stamps

 Happy Thursday everyone!

I'm whizzing by today with a card made with a fab-u-lous new slimline die from wonderful


I have an up front apology here - the photo's are grim!  The card is glittery which is no bad thing but trying to get a decent pic in Gloucestershire winter light was difficult!  This is as good as it gets - I do hope you can see enough to enjoy this card!

I created the inky piece of card by blending Distress Oxides in Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers and Chipped Sapphire 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 
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 die cut a piece of purple glittery card with the same die and mounted it behind the inky die cut, showing the edge slightly like a shadow.

I fixed the die cuts to a piece of white glitter card and added a strip of purple glitter card along the left hand side.

Finally I stamped a sentiment from the 
onto a strip of torn vellum and heat embossed it in blue.

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

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
which I had die cut with Whimsy Stamps

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

I wrapped the vellum sentiment around the card design as shown.
Finally I added some dots of 
around the sweet Koala and made his/her nose shiny with some
