Thank you bunches...

Hello everyone,

I'm here today with a slightly different card from me!

I have used a lovely selection of products by Whimsy Stamps from
Dies To Die For

to create a delicate thank you card.

Dies To Die For - Ingredients

Messy Mesh Background Rubber Cling Stamp

Wonky Stitched Rectangles Die Set
Lawn Fawn Vellum

Beaucoup Bouquet Clear Stamps Set
Beaucoup Bouquet Die Set

Thanks Word and Shadow Die Set

You're Too Kind Clear Stamps

Quick Strips Die Set

The card is so easy to make and the final effect is so pretty!

First, I stamped the 

Messy Mesh Background Rubber Cling Stamp

onto a piece of card and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

I then blended Distress Oxides in Evergreen Bough, Worn Lipstick, Scattered Straw and Faded Lilac over the card as shown. 

Then I die cut the card with the 

Wonky Stitched Rectangles Die Set

and cut a circle from the centre of the rectangle with a stitched circle die.

With the same circle die I cut a piece of white linen card to replace the circle I had cut out.

I fixed the messy mesh background and the white circle onto a piece of firm card die cut with the same size 

Wonky Stitched Rectangles Die Set

and set it aside.

Next I stamped and heat embossed in white onto 
Lawn Fawn Vellum

Beaucoup Bouquet Clear Stamps Set
and cut them out with the 
Beaucoup Bouquet Die Set

I cut the stamped images out and coloured them on the reverse with Copic Markers, no blending required here, just pick your favourite colours and go for it!

I fixed some flowers and foliage firmly to the left hand side of the circle die.

Then I die cut the 

Thanks Word and Shadow Die Set

in silver glitter card and fixed that across the centre of the circle just touching the flowers.

I stamped the 'a bunch' sentiment in black using the

Thanks Word and Shadow Die Set

and die cut it with a

Quick Strips Die Set

Finally I fixed the sentiment to the right of the card design.

Old Geezer...

Hello friends, 

Hope it's a Happy Thursday!

I'm here today to show you some fabulous goodies from 

Whimsy Stamps

January release which are available in store now!

To make this card I first stamped the Buffalo Plaid Background Rubber Cling Stamp and heat embossed it in black.

Then I blended the background with Distress Ink Pads in Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and Chipped Sapphire.

I created the background for the Old Geezer by lightly blending the same distress inks onto a piece of card, sprinkling it with water and splattering it with black acrylic paint.

I repeated this on a second piece of card and then die cut the Old Fart Word Die.

I stamped the Old Geezer Clear Stamp in black ink and coloured him with Copics, adding the plaid pattern to his jacket and slippers with a black fine liner and a white gel pen.

I square cut the plaid background and the blended background and layered them together then I added the old fart die cut and the old geezer as shown!

Finally I die cut one of the strips from the New Quick Strips Die Set and stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Old Geezer Clear Stamp set onto it.

I trimmed the strip slightly and fixed it to the top right hand side of the card design as shown.

Thank you for popping by!

Pretty in Plaid...

Hello everyone!

It's Sue here today with probably my favourite of the cards I've made recently to show off the 
Whimsy Stamps 
new release goodies!

I have used the beautiful background stamp

Buffalo Plaid Background Rubber Cling Stamp

and

Thanks Word with Shadows Die Set

To make my card I stamped the Buffalo Plaid Background Rubber Cling Stamp with an embossing pad and heat embossed it in white (The white heat embossed ink resists the colour from the Distress Inks).

Then I blended Distress Inks on top of the embossed plaid background - I used Evergreen Bough, Worn Lipstick, Shaded Lilac and Scattered Straw which are quite delicate and look gorgeous together.

I used two square dies together to die cut a white frame and fixed the frame to the background.

Next I die cut white card with the Thanks Word with Shadows Die Set and blended Evergreen Bough Distress Ink over the word thanks.  I fixed that to the stitched edged die cut shadow and then fixed the die cuts to the bottom right hand side of the card design as shown.

Finally I added some glitter dots to the card design in similar colours to the Distress Ink.

I think this is just so pretty and delicate and is an effect I will definitely use again!

Thank you so much for popping by!
