Just Between Friends

Hey All!

What would life be without girlfriends…and all the things you share just between yourselves?

I have some inspiration to share with you from All Dressed Up Stamps today.  I had so much fun creating with this sweet image called ‘Three Little Party Girls‘.  How sweet are they in their pretty little dresses?

I die cut the frame 4 times and glued all the layers together to give it the look of chipboard.

The dies are from Poppy Stamps and La-La Land Crafts.  I created the sentiment in Microsoft Word.

Good morning!

It’s so hard to think the summer is almost over and soon all the little kiddos will be out Trick or Treating.

Whimsy Stamps has released another super fun clear stamp set called ‘Going Batty‘.  One of my favorites from this month’s release.  So fun and adorable!

My paper choice dictated that this would have to be a slim card, which turned out perfect for the images.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set and was die cut with the Quick Strips Die Set.

As always, there is an abundance of adorable inspiration to be found in the store here.

Born to Rock

4 Comments

Good morning!

It’s time for another new release at Whimsy Stamps, and oh my goodness…I was certainly challenged with this little Rock Star from the Goth Star clear stamp set!  I am a country music fan, so I really had to put my thinking cap on…lol!  I envisioned him being on a stage rockin’ out with his hard core rock fans.

Pam_

I stamped the image on X-Press It Blending Card and colored him with the following copic markers.  Once I was finished coloring I took some time and fussy cut him out…even the tiny guitar cord!

Born-to-Rock2I started with a 5 1/2″ square card base.  To that I added a layer of black, and a layer of red that was stamped in black with the Goth Skull background stamp.  The next set of layers start with the striped layer measuring 4 3/8″ x 5 3/8″.

Born-to-Rock1

I die cut a circle using one of the dies from the Pierced and Stitched Circle Die Set and inked it up with Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide Ink.

I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder on a black scrap of paper before adhering to the assembled card with foam tape.

Hello everyone!

I fell in love with this little sweetie called Fleur from Whimsy Stamps the moment I saw her!  She is so adorable and could be used for pretty much any card theme.

My card base is  a top folding A2 size card with lots of layers added on top.  I had so much fun creating the double shaker elements to this card.  I used two layers of craft foam in place of foam tape so the little shaker bits didn’t stick.

The green and white layer was stamped with the Scratchy Plaid Background stamp.  The rest of the paper is from my stash.

Hello and good morning!

I am back again today with another gorgeous mermaid from Whimsy Stamp’s July new release collection.  This little mermaid with her super fun little fish balloons is beyond adorable!!  She is one of the adorable mermaids in the Mermaid Birthday Clear Stamp Set.  I couldn’t resist…I had to color my very first pink hair…lol

I stamped this little cutie on X-Press It Blending Card, colored her with the following Copic Sketch Markers, and fussy cut her out.

Shellebrate2

I started with a 4″ square white card base, added a white layer that was 3 7/8″ square, and a pink layer that was 3 3/4″ square.

For the inside piece of the shaker element, I inked up a piece of white cardstock with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink, added the Shellebrate sentiment from the same stamp set, and cut it into a circle.

Shellebrate3

To create the outside circle frame, I taped two of the circle dies together with purple tape; and then while they were taped together, I cut the frame out of the starfish print paper.  I then cut two more of the circle frames out of white craft foam.   I cut one plain circle shape of clear acetate.  I taped the clear acetate to the back of the starfish frame with Scor-Tape 1/4 inch.  I used the same tape to adhere the two layers of foam tape to the back of the same piece.  Once I had the shaker bits in the center of the blue sentiment circle, (keeping still so I didn’t lose any of the pretties), I then taped it down to the actual card.

The paper is from Echo Park- Let’s Be Mermaids.

Hello again!

I was flooded with memories of my Grandma as I created with this gorgeous new release from Whimsy Stamps called Ivy Chair Rubber Cling Stamp.  Her climbing rose bushes were always gorgeous and smelled heavenly.  I was reminded how much I miss her!

Pam_Ivy Chair_Basic Stitched Ovals_Kinetic Straight Basics

I stamped the image on X-Press It Blending Card with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored with the following Copic markers.

I started with a cream card base that was 5 1/2 inches square.  Added a cream layer 5 3/8 inches square and then the blue dotted layer 5 1/4 inches square.  The middle band of blue/cream paper measures 3 1/2 x 5 1/4, layered with cream card stock that was die cut with the scalloped border from the Kinetic Straight Basics Die Set.  I used the largest oval from the Basic Stitched Ovals Die Set for my image, and then cut around the actual metal die to create a mat to put behind it.
