Cute Cacti - THE cutest! Whimsy Stamps New Release...

Hello everyone,

Sending you all good thoughts during these strange days.  I hope you are all staying safe, well and in good spirits.

Today at wonderful 

Whimsy Stamps

we have one of the cutest releases ever!

Cute Cacti by our lovely Deb Davis (Amped2Stamp)

Just look at those faces!!!

First up - I must apologise for these photos! I'm not sure what my camera was doing but in real life the colours are far more pastel and delicate - I tried to take the pic a gazillion times but I just could not get a closer representation than this!  So - just think pastel !!!

These cards were such fun to make and came together really easily!

I first stamped and coloured the 

Cute Cacti 

with Copic Markers

I used a selection of greens - G28, G24, YG13, G21, G20 and YG67, YG17, YG13, YG24

T3, V09, V06, V05, E13, E17

Then I cut them out and set them aside.

Next I die cut the Banner backgrounds and frames with the 

Shaker Maker Banner Die Set

I used Catherine Pooler Inks in Tutti Frutti, Sangria and It's A Girl to create the backgrounds along with the 

Polka Dot Stencil

Next I stamped some of the super sentiments from the 

Cute Cacti set 

and die cut them with the 

Quick Strips Die Set

I then layered the frame, the sentiments and the cacti on to the background and fixed everything down with

Crafty Foam Tape

Finally I added some glitter to the background using

Star Dust Stickles Glitter Glue
and a little twine bow.

Please have a good look around the 

Whimsy Inspirations Blog

Thank you for popping by today!

I hope you are all managing to stay safe and healthy in these uncertain and worrying times!

Life Goes On - Whimsy Stamps Special Release...

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all well and managing to stay safe and healthy!

Today sees a very special release of the most beautiful products from

Whimsy Stamps

The Whimsy Team have had such a lovely time creating these samples, they are so special to us as the goodies were designed by our lovely Deb Davis - Amped2Stamp!

I could have made dozens of cards - I limited myself to four in the end which i will share with you over the coming days!

I'm kicking things off with these beauties...

Ingredients from Whimsy Stamps 

Sunflower Background Rubber Cling Stamp

Lattice A2 Die

Shaker Maker Rectangle Die Set

Notched Squares Die Set

Sympathy Life Goes On Clear Stamps

Quick Strips Die Set

Other Ingredients

Watercolour Card

Arteza Brush Pens - however, the

Karin Brushmaker Pro Pens

stocked at Whimsy Stamps would be perfect as well!

Vellum 

Black Stazon Ink

Glue

Clear Chunky Glitter

 

I used a really easy technique to create the sunflower background.

I chose the colours I wanted for my sunflower and painted the stamp with brush markers roughly where I wanted each colour to be.  Then I sprayed the stamp lightly with water and quickly stamped the image onto watercolour card.

I have to say I was really happy with the effect!

I used the goodies as shown to make my cards.

Whimsy Stamps New Release - Best Fishes

Hello everyone,

I'm back today with more

Whimsy Stamps

new release gorgeousness!

Best Fishes Clear Stamp Set by Crissy Armstrong

Cuteness!!!

I firstly stamped the 

Best Fishes Clear Stamp Set

in black ink onto card suitable for alcohol markers, coloured them with Copic Markers and then cut them out and set them to one side.

Copics - E19, R05, YR68, YR15, YR12, Y11, B05

With the 

Pierced and Stitched Circles Die Set

I die cut a circle of white textured card and then in the centre of the circle I die cut a heart aperture using the 

*New* Primitive Shaker Shapes Die Set 

I die cut a smaller circle to fit behind the aperture.  Then I dabbed some blue and green sparkle pens onto my glass mat, sprayed them with water and pressed the card onto the ink to create the background.

I layered the fishes, the textured card and the inky background onto a larger circle of blue glittery card and firmly fixed everything together.

Finally I stamped the sentiment from the 

Best Fishes Sentiments Clear Stamp Set

under the left hand fish as shown!
