Everything Succs Without You with Whimsy Stamps

Wednesday, June 30, 2021

New month, NEW WHIMSY!

I used the new Slimline Connected Rectangles Die with a cute stamp set called Succ It Up. I used Distress oxides to create a watercolor background and I just love how the colors all connect... From the background, to the sequins in the shaker windows and to the plants.

You can watch my video down below to see how the card came together while I go color more cute plants.

Hey Gull Friend with Heffy Doodle

Tuesday, June 29, 2021

I mixed a few Heffy Doodle sets to create this scene just off the coast with buoys and seagulls! That seagull giving a thumbs up is just the cutest and I needed it on a card.

I distressed my own sky and sea by using mix media paper and some of my favorite distress oxides. There are three layers on the card, so if you re-create this, use some thinner foam adhesive if you don't want it to get too bulky.

But overall, it's a very simple card, but looks intricate thanks to distressing the water and adding splatter. I think I'm going to make this again but make the light house light up! I love that the die for that lighthouse makes it easy, too.

Love U 4ever Slimline Card with Whimsy Stamps

Sunday, June 27, 2021

Do you like making your own sentiments with alphabet dies? I think the Cutie Alphabet and Number Die Sets use such a fun font. I love mixing capital and lowercase letters and it's fun to have that look in a die set.

But today's video is sharing how I stamped these flowers in three steps with a two step stamp set. I used the "inside" part of the flower twice to create a bend between two pinks and then the outline stamp. You can see how it comes together in the video below.

Do you like stamps that layer to create an image?

Duh Nuh... Interactive Slimline Card with Whimsy Stamps

Friday, June 25, 2021

You're going to need a bigger boat!

Today I have a fun slimline card with a sentiment inspired by Jaws and it has a pull-tab to move the shark from behind our splattery ocean. I have a video below that focuses I how I assembled this slimline card using dies intended for an A2 sized card.

Have you watched Jaws before? Or have you at least been on the ride at Universal?

Oceans of Love with Heffy Doodle

Wednesday, June 23, 2021

Is it obvious that I'm totally on an under water theme with my crafting right now?

We went to the Aquarium of the Pacific this weekend and I was totally inspired to color in these sweet Heffy Doodle Oceans of Love images to match some of the critters we saw at the aquarium. The wavy die cuts are from the Whimsy Stamps Slimline Waves Die and I used the "inside" pieces rather than the frame to create this water background as I distressed the background before die cutting. You can use the frame for another card, but also use it so you can puzzle piece each of those background pieces onto the card.

I think ocean scenes are probably my favorite to make. Do you have a favorite scene to build on a card?

Birthday Bubbles with Whimsy Stamps

Monday, June 21, 2021

I'm really loving this card.

It's the colors - this combo of blues to green just make me happy! I tied in these fun, vibrant colors in how I distressed my background and colored my mermaid. I left her hair and my starfish as pops of yellow/orange to stand out more on the card.

To make my extra bubbles, I just masked the starfish and colored them kinda rainbow-y with blue in the middle since they are underwater and will need to reflect our blue ocean.

You're Fintastic! with Whimsy Stamps

Sunday, June 20, 2021

Can we talk about how ADORABLE these new mermaids are from the Whimsy Stamps Fintastic stamp set?! I absolutely loved coloring them and their amazing hair. Apparently you just need to live sea water to get this luscious of hair.

A little bit ago ago I posted about creating your own underwater scene using Whimsy Stamps printed paper, but today I'm sharing how can make your own with dies and Distress Oxides.

What is your favorite background to make yourself?

It's the final release for June and there are some REALLY cute new products. You should head over to the Whimsy Stamps store to see the new releases.

I used three (well four) new products on this double shaker slimline card - Lookin' Shark Stamp Set (and Outlines Die Set), Scallop Circle Die Set, and the Taffy Slimline Paper Pack. I mixed in some under the sea elements from an older set, but it was fun to use new products for this card!

This week has been the hottest week. We're in the 90s and I'm sweating.

Sending Smiles with Whimsy Stamps

Wednesday, June 9, 2021

It's a new release day for Whimsy Stamps and there are some really cute new products for you to check out. You can head over to their store here and see: Whimsy Stamps June Release!

It's also that time of week where I share an interactive card so I thought I'd use the new Polka Dot Pal Zachary set and use a squirrel to climb up and down the tree! I think it turned out pretty cute.

This was my first Polka Dot Pal set and while I'm not one to go for stamps with people on them, I'm pretty pleased with myself for stamping outside the box. Even though I had some mishaps while coloring (you can hear about it in my video tutorial below), I really like how this little guy turned out.

I hope you enjoy this slimline card and let me know what is your favorite new product from this release?

What the Cluck?! with Whimsy Stamps

Sunday, June 6, 2021

Have you ever been in a deep sleep during a nap? You know, one of those naps where the weather is perfect - not too hot, not too cold. You're exhausted and know a good nap will help you feel better about your day.

Then all of a sudden BANG! You wake up in a jolt and you're like, "What the CLUCK?!" And you hear your kids giggling because they knocked something over and thought it was funny and now you're awake and upset.

That's what I imagine this chicken is going through. She's enjoying the sun and fell asleep for a nice nap... Then her chicks started causing a ruckus and woke her up. She's the mother we all are, even if we don't admit it, hehe.

I'm really enjoying the new Whimsy Stamps farm themed products and this is now one of my favorite cards because I am this chicken and I am very good at making that side eye look. I better go check on my own kiddo and see what she's up to...
