Let Your Dreams Bloom

2 Comments

Good morning!

Life is all about dreams and it’s awesome when your dreams become reality.

I am back today with a project for I Am Roses.  I chose to work with a beautiful stamp from La-La Land Crafts called ‘In The Garden Marci‘.

I purchased her through Club La-La Land Crafts, which is a monthly subscription.  The sentiment is from the ‘Love to Garden Clear Stamp Set‘.  She was so much fun to color up!!

I stamped this little sweetie on X-Press It Blending Card with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored her with the following Copic Markers.

Pumpkin Kitty

2 Comments

Hello everyone!

Squeeeeee…it’s new release time again at Whimsy Stamps.  My inspiration today came from the Build-a-Pumpkin Die Set, the Falling Leaves Background stamp, and the Dracula Going Batty Die Set.

I had so much fun being a little creative with this die cut.  I tried my hand at a little cat face drawing and turned this pumpkin into a pumpkin kitty….I LOVE how it turned out!!

Pumpkin Kitty

I die cut this pumpkin shape on X-Press It Blending Card and colored it with the following Copic Markers.

Stem:  E27/57/55/53/31, G94/YG03/YG01

Pumpkin Kitty2

I stamped the background with the Falling Leaves Background stamp.  I chose to keep it black and white as the pumpkin is pretty bright.  I added a little black and white stripe paper from My Favorite Things to the bottom, and a few bats from the Dracula Going Batty Die Set.

Pumpkin Kitty1

The sentiment was created with stamps from the Going Batty Stamp Set.  Once I had it stamped, I die cut it out with the Quick Strips Die Set.

Batty for you

Good morning!

How fun are these adorable bats from Whimsy Stamps new release?  These little cuties are from the Going Batty Clear Stamp set.  These handsome little dudes have been busy taking flying lessons and one of them took a wrong turn.  He is hoping his little bottle of elixir will help him feel better.

I created this fun shaker card with the new Wonky Window 2 Die and the Messy Mesh Background Rubber Stamp.  I only used the center two windows for the actual shaker part, leaving the top and bottom portion for the image and sentiment.  The adorable little bat was attached to the card after it was finished.

What to Wear

Hey All!

I am excited to share with you another clear stamp set from All Dressed Up Stamps sold exclusively at Crafteezee in the UK.  This gorgeous girl is from the set called ‘What to Wear‘.

What to Wear1

I had so much fun creating this card.  Is it obvious yet that I really enjoy creating with girly images??  I hand colored the dress on the dress form to give it a little more detail.

What to Wear2

Hard to believe…but I didn’t have anything in my mountain of paper stash that was quite right for the background behind her.  I took the idea of the name of the stamp and set out to create a subtle print in Microsoft word in a font color to match the rest of the paper.  Worked out perfectly!

Gorgeous ‘I Am Roses’ flowers used on this card:
R2-15 – Mini White Paper Flowers
R2-147 – Mini Solid Cream Paper Flowers
T1-15 – White Mini Rose Buds
S10-15 – White Small Craft Paper Flowers

With Sympathy

4 Comments

Hello everyone!

I am back again today to share another project for Whimsy Stamp’s with the new release Goth Die Set.   Although the dies are called ‘Goth’, my brain says angel wings.

Although it’s always sad when the need arises,  I thought they were perfect for a sympathy card.

Pam_Gothic-Die

I cut the wings out of X-Press It blending card as I wanted to add a little coloring to dress them up a little bit.

~Copics~
W2/1/0/00/B0000
Clear Wink of Stella

With-Sympathy

I applied Clear Wink of Stella to the wings to give them a little shimmer, and popped them up with foam tape to help them stand out a little bit.

With-Sympathy2

I added a little cheese cloth, a heart charm, and gorgeous flowers from I Am Roses, giving the card a feminine feel.  The sentiment is from ‘A Girl’s Best Friend‘ Clear Stamp set.

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.

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

Pam_Mermaid Birthday_Pierced and Stitched Circle Dies

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.
