Whimsy Stamps - Penguin Winter Clear Stamps

 Hello everyone,

It's Sue here today!

I had the best time making todays card!  

It has all my favourite things!

...penguins, copics, inkiness, winter, snow and it's a Christmas card which are all my favourites!

I made the background by brayering Distress Oxide onto a piece of card.

The penguins are coloured with Copics (list of colours at the end of the post)

I layered the images onto vellum and fixed them to the background, finishing off with a sentiment.

such fun!...

I had a couple images left so I made some gift tags!

Whimsy Stamps Hourglass Die and Eye Scream Stamp Set

  Hello everyone...

OH MY WORD!  

I have been ridiculously over excited by today's project, I literally could.not.wait. to share it with you!

I thought a mask would be such fun to make and use if you are a trick or treater!

I blame the terrifying film 'The Masque of The Red Death' for giving me this idea! 

The Masque is made in black card die cut with the fa-boo-lousWhimsy Stamps 

Slimline Hourglass Die Set

which is available in store right now!

I cut the lens with an oval die from the 

Antique ATC Frames Die Set

The inky background is made with blended Distress Oxides, I'll pop a link to a tutorial at the end of this post for you.

I used a stamp from the spook-tacular

Eye Scream Clear Stamps Set 

which I coloured with Copic Markers - I'll pop  a list of the colours I used at the end of this post.

The eyes are attached to the mask with wobble springs!

Finally I painted a skewer with black paint and fixed it to the side of the masque with tape.

I think this design would work equally as well as a slimline card if you did nt want to make a masque!

Whimsy Stamps - Best Friend

 Happy Thursday friends.

I'm whooshing by today with a very simple card - I don't usually make this style of card so it was a very welcome change for me!  - I could get to like it! (;

I made a swoosh inky background with watercolours and cut the card into a rectangle - approx 13 x 9 cm 

I die cut some purple glitter card with the gorgeous Whimsy Stamps

Best Friend Word Die Set

and teamed it with the 'sweet' sentiment from the new release

Doodle Frames Stamps and Doodle Frames Dies sets.

I used the scalloped frame from the 

Quilted Rainbow Inlaid Die Set 

and cut it down to fit along the edges of the design as shown.

Finally I added some clear drops.

Snail Mail - Whimsy Stamps

 Hello Everyone!

I hope this week is being kind to you.

It's Sue here today to show you one of my favourite recent new releases from Whimsy Stamps which we have in store at our lovely Dies To Die For!

I have chosen to play with a stamp set

Snail Mail Clear Stamps by Krista Heij-Barber

and a super new product,

Slimline Envelope Builder Die Set

(This is currently out of stock but should be back soon)

I created two inky piece of card by blending Distress Oxides in Mowed Lawn, Dried Marigold and Tumbled Glass over  Strathmore Bristol Vellum Card.

Then I splattered the card with water. 

When everything was dry I die cut one piece of card with the 

Slimline Postage Die

and then splattered white paint over it.  (I do this after die cutting as white paint leaves a slightly raised texture which I rather like and it gets crushed if you add it before die cutting!

I cut the second piece of card slightly larger than the postage die cut piece and layered them together.

I stamped the images from the Snail Mail Clear Stamp Set in black ink, coloured them with Copics and cut them out.  (I'll pop a list of the colours I used at the end of this post for you)

I fixed the images to my card design as shown.

Finally I added a sentiment from the Snail Mail set which I die cut with a die from the 

Bookmark and Tags Die Set

I used the Slimline Envelope Builder Die to make an envelope in Kraft Card.  The envelope lining is a sneak peak of a paper being released soon!

 Hello everyone.

It's Sue here today!

I hope this week is being kind to you.

I am having such fun lately making an inky mess! I have been playing with texture paste and sparkle again!

I have made a set of scripture themed cards - it meant a lot to me to make these, I'm probably not alone in saying that faith has been on somewhat shaky ground recently!

To create the backgrounds I used Magical Powders by Lindy's Stamp Gang.  I have only just discovered these little pots of gorgeousness but oh my word, if you like getting inky they are game changers!

I combined the backgrounds with some beautiful Dies To Die For products and have to say I did feel happy with the final designs!
