Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I have a really quick and easy idea for a Christmas card, using one of the dies from the new Evergreen Trees die set from Whimsy Stamps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a perfect idea for batch making Christmas cards, and you can ring the changes to make your cards individual also by using different colour glitter paper for them and even mixing colours!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the card I made and below you can find a short how to and then pics and links for the stamps and dies used. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To make this card you just need a white card base, I make my own but you could use a pre-made one just as easily. You will need a rectangular card base, size is not too important, it just needs to be big enough to fit your trees and sentiment on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First cut out 3 trees from green (or a colour of your choosing), glitter cardstock.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then cut 6 more of the same die-cut in white cardstock.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Glue together 2 white and 1 green tree with the green being the top layer. Set aside to dry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Work out where your trees will sit on your card to find the position for your sentiment and then stamp on your card base using an ink that matches your trees. I use my MISTI to make sure my sentiment lines up just right, but you can use any stamp positioner or a block and T square.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Glue your trees onto your card centrally above your stamped sentiment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finish off with a few clear sequins........voila! Easy peasy right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These dies are so good for making Christmas cards and I'll be showing you some more over the coming weeks.</div>

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's day 2 of Whimsy Stamps release for October and there are lots of fun new goodies to be had.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For my card today I'm showcasing the new Brushed Stripes Background Stamp.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is such a versatile stamp, you'll see some other examples of how I used this stamp later in the month, but for today's card I did one of my favourite things.....rainbow colours.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO9EjBLUItCRD0YHf9UGUh8XXMw-DW166QvfA6YHU-hVTk1B19X-fZ5wBwjFmP66-Y_xQ75L07dTpgz8bF9q3wezmVfBlNeoCnFKNBQYlMnIv6Kjw_MiimCKFTjHUCe7dnL3esY-bjvyQ/s1600/Linda-Brushed+Stripe+BG+%2526+thanks+word+die+%2526+Happy+Sayings.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1427" data-original-width="1600" height="570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO9EjBLUItCRD0YHf9UGUh8XXMw-DW166QvfA6YHU-hVTk1B19X-fZ5wBwjFmP66-Y_xQ75L07dTpgz8bF9q3wezmVfBlNeoCnFKNBQYlMnIv6Kjw_MiimCKFTjHUCe7dnL3esY-bjvyQ/s640/Linda-Brushed+Stripe+BG+%2526+thanks+word+die+%2526+Happy+Sayings.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I first stamped my image on some Strathmore Bristol smooth paper, using my MISTI and some Versamark Ink, priming the paper first with my anti static tool.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I did some heat embossing with some white embossing powder.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used various Distress Oxide inks and a blending tool to colour in my stripes, masking the areas I didn't want to take that colour, with some post it tape.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the Shaker Maker Rectangle Die set to cut the background into 2 pieces and then used the Thanks word die (this die is no longer available in store, but you can find a lot of other word dies <a href="https://whimsystamps.com/collections/word-and-alphabet-dies">here</a>) to cut out the word from the centre piece, keeping all the pieces aside.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the 2nd largest Stitched Nested Rectangles die to cut a layer from white card to fit between my 2 pieces and glued all 3 to my white card base .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut several more 'thanks' from white card stock and glued them together, gluing the striped thanks on the top.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then inlaid the stacked word and adhered the small left over pieces in their places. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stamped the 'for everything' sentiment from the Happy Saying set (one of my 'go to' sentiment sets) in black ink on some white card stock and cut it to size, gluing it in place below my die cut word.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally I finished off with a few enameled dots.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's hard to believe that we're already almost halfway through September and racing towards the end of the year. Have you started making your Christmas cards yet? I really need to get started on mine and to help there are tons of wonderful Christmas stamps and stamp sets available from Whimsy Stamps, including some gorgeous Christmas fairies just released this month.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I have a non Christmas fairy to share with you, this is an older stamp but I've been itching to use her for a while, she looks so sassy and modern!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBNmZUIfkAFaIuK_goPkhaFQLUVRIR43JyfxI9BL7etvLhpIOVf1hyK_SUFL1BU_-Id6NVLO0yklY4RV1HULUH6UKNn4MnmjWLWr4tuSA49-fjwVpFvQUGSZHRfnhEJfDJ3otfx2x8IQY/s1600/Linda+-+Flower+Fairy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1557" data-original-width="1585" height="628" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBNmZUIfkAFaIuK_goPkhaFQLUVRIR43JyfxI9BL7etvLhpIOVf1hyK_SUFL1BU_-Id6NVLO0yklY4RV1HULUH6UKNn4MnmjWLWr4tuSA49-fjwVpFvQUGSZHRfnhEJfDJ3otfx2x8IQY/s640/Linda+-+Flower+Fairy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've coloured her with my Zig Markers, those of you who know me will know that these are now easily my 'go to' markers of choice though I have previously used Copics and Distress Ink Markers (which I still sometimes use).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a reasonably simple card, not at all difficult to construct, but quite striking with the use of some eye-catching papers to match your colouring.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After colouring her I fussy cut her out and popped her up on some foam tape, showcased by 2 frames cut using the Shaker Maker Rectangle die set. The background behind the frames is created using the Formal Lattice Stencil and some inks to match the colours on the fairy.<br />
The sentiment is from the Fly By clear stamp set.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Life is BUSY atm, getting ready to fly out to Rome on Tuesday and I'm working tomorrow so got to get everything ready today, but before I get back to it I'd like to share another card with products from the September release.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's never too early to start on Christmas cards right? I'm probably a bit late starting mine, but I thought I'd make something a little different.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the new Peekaboo Window 1 Die and combined it with an older Background Stamp Snow Flurry, embossing it with white embossing powder on watercolour paper and then doing a subtle ombre blending with blue inks to complement the beautiful blue butterflies I used from Kay's Kreative Korner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used some silver glitter cardstock to mount the butterflies so they stood out against the background, and finished the card with some clear gems.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't want to cover my card with a sentiment, so I put that on the inside.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's time for the new September release from Whimsy Stamps, where has the year gone?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My card today uses both the new Web Background rubber stamp and the Halloween Creatures Stencil. Sooooo fun to use. The sentiment is a combo of the Happy large word die and the Happy Sayings clear stamp set. I've listed items used along with links at the end of my post, just click on the pictures to go to products in the store.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First I stamped the background using my MISTI and some Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink onto some light grey cardstock.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once dry I used the stencil and some Black Soot distress ink to stencil on the spiders.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut my panel with one of the Nested Stitched rectangle dies and then matted onto black cardstock leaving a very narrow border.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a card base from the same light grey cardstock that I used for my background.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut some purple glitter cardstock a little smaller than my card base and glued that down then mounted my background onto it with some craft foam in between. Because it's really difficult to adhere stuff to glitter card and because I hate wasting pretty cardstock behind stuff, I cut the centre of the glitter card out with a smaller rectangle die before gluing it to my card base.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut several Happy die cuts using the same grey stock and cut the final one in the glitter cardstock and stacked and glued them together and set aside. I stamped and embossed the halloween sentiment in silver onto some black cardstock and trimmed it to fit. I then glued this and the stacked Happy die cut to my card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally to finish I glued some purple gems onto my spiders for a little more bling!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hello!<br />
<br />
I'm here with my final card for August and as you probably know by know I love myself a mermaid, so using this Salty Hair clear stamp set from Whimsy Stamps was a bit of a no brainer.<br />
<br />
I stamped and coloured my images with my Zig Markers and the background was made using Distress Oxides and the Whimsy Stamps. I used the circle frame from the Shaker Maker Combo Die and stacked several die cuts together to give some elevation,<br />
<br />
I've linked all the Whimsy products below my card, with links to the items in store.</div>

Hello!<br />
<br />
Today I'm sharing a sweet little shaker card using the adorable Hugs Bunny clear stamp set, a fab Gingham BG stamp and some Whimsy dies. I've listed everything at the end of the post with links direct to the store.<br />
<br />
The little bunnies are coloured with Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers and fussy cut by hand. I stamped the background stamp several times with my MISTI as I wanted more of a bolder gingham feel rather than a softer distressed look.</div>

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm showcasing a couple of new products from the Whimsy Stamps August release on my card today.<br />
<br />
For the background I used a rainbow of Distress Inks and the Teardrop Splash Stencil on a white panel and then stamped one of the large sentiments from the Cheeky Sentiments set, with Versamark ink and heat embossed with black embossing powder.<br />
<br />
I stamped the smaller sentiments from the set on black card and embossed with white embossing powder.<br />
<br />
After cutting my 2 panels, the larger on in black cardstock, I adhered to my card base and then attached my trimmed sentiments popped up on some narrow foam tape.<br />
<br />
To finish my card I added some colourful enamel dots.</div>

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you're enjoying the August release from Whimsy Stamps so far! I'm away visiting family for the week of the release and a bit more so I'm hoping these scheduled posts go live at the right time lol!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I have a card made with the Clear Stamp set 'Purre Love'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a background with distress inks, masking a moon which I went back and coloured in with my Zig markers, to make a night sky which I cut into a panel a little smaller than my card base.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stamped my images onto some Bristol Smooth cardstock with Versafine ink and coloured with my Zig markers and a size 2 watercolour brush, then I fussy cut my images and set them aside.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut some black cardstock with the grass edger dies and positioned them on my background popping the front one up with some foam tape.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I worked out where I wanted my main image positioned and then placed and stamped my sentiment with Versamark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I used the Galaxy Star Stencil and some Nuvo paste to add some stars to my sky. I adhered the background to my base and then added my images.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally I added a few small star sequins to finish off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's day 2 of Whimsy Stamps August release and today I'm showcasing a card made with the new Cheeky Sentiments Clear Stamp Set.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First I took a piece of watercolour paper and blended on some rainbow colours using Distress Oxide inks in Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber, Twisted Citron, Salty Ocean and Wilted Violet, and an ink blending tool.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I splashed some drops of water over and blotted, then once completely dry I used the large die from the Shaker Maker Rectangle set to emboss a pattern and trimmed the edges. I mounted this directly to a black card base.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the same inks I had used on my background to stamp my large word on some plain white card and then stamped the 2 smaller words from my chosen sentiment above this with some Onyx Black Versafine ink. I cut my sentiment out with a small rectangle die from the Stitched Nested Rectangle set and then adhered this to a piece of black card and mounted this on my background with some craft foam to pop the whole thing up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To finish off I added some colourful enamel dots.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've added pictures and links to the products available in the Whimsy Stamps store, below.</div>

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I have a card for you where the focus is on the sentiment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a few different Whimsy products on my card, all of which are linked at the end of my post, just click on the pics to go to the item in the store.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First I took a piece of yellow card, some yellow distress ink and the Sun Rays Stencil, and sponged the ink through the stencil with an ink blending tool. Once fully dry I used Versamark ink and white embossing powder to emboss my sentiment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut 2 strips of white card with the Cloud Edger die before layering them on the top of the yellow card to frame the bottom of the sentiment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut the whole thing out with one of the Stitched Ovals dies and blended a little blue distress ink on the bottom edges of the clouds. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I took a panel of white cardstock and used the same oval to cut out the centre of the panel, and then adhered the panel to my white card base with foam tape. I then glued the yellow oval into the aperture in the card, flat to the card base.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finished off with some clear Nuvo Drops to suggest raindrops.</div>
<br />

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have another quick card for you, this one uses the new Fireworks stencil from the July release at Whimsy Stamps, alongside the Celebrate die from the Word Dies Set and the Wavy Edgers Die Set.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all I inked a panel in a mixture of Faded Jeans darkened with a little Chipped Sapphire distress inks then sprinkled with a few drops of water and dried.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the Fireworks Stencil and some Nuvo Glimmer pastes to add my fireworks and once dry I cut the lower edge with the Edger Die. I cut another slightly larger piece of red card with the same die, to dit behind my background.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the celebrate die to cut out some silver glitter card and offset this on some red card stock cut with the same die. I glued everything to my white base card and then added some sparkly red Nuvo drops to finish. That's it!</div>

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We're kicking off the new July release over at Whimsy Stamps today and I have a simple card using 2 of the new products alongside alongisde a couple of older ones. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This card looks complex but was really super simple to make.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First I stamped the Flower Puffs BG stamp onto some kraft card stock and shaded in the areas with a white pencil. Really quick and simple to do but gives a very effective result. You could just stamp and emboss with white embossing powder but then you wouldn't get the black outline which I quite liked here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After shading, I cut out my panel using the larger of the 2 frames in the Shaker Maker Rectangle die set and then cut out an oval with the Stitched Oval die set, big enough to frame my sentiment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a card base from black card stock and then I used my MISTI to line up on my sentiment in the middle of the oval, stamping with Versamak ink and embossing with white embossing powder.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then glued my panel and frame to the card base, popping up my frame with some shallow foam tape and finished the whole thing with some sequins.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've linked all my Whimsy products at the end of my post.</div>
<br />

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope everyone is keeping well and if you are in the UK I hope you're enjoying the sunny weather we've been having lately. I must admit it's a shock to actually be getting a summer this year (while it lasts), but the humidity has been getting to me a little. My asthma does not like the heavy weather much at all at the moment, but it's so nice to see the sun I won't complain too much.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyhooooooo.....in other news, my card today uses the Splash clear stamp set from the June release that I used a couple of weeks ago. This time I've made a completely different style of card. I stamped my images with Versamark ink and embossed them with white embossing powder, stamping the boat separately from the background.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I water coloured the background and boat with my Zig markers, fussy cut the boat, cut into the waves with my craft knife and inserted the boat so it's sitting among the waves, rather than on the top, gluing it firmly to the background.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then cut out a panel of wood panelled patterned paper, and cut a circle from the centre, adding some acetate to the back. I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set underneath the circle with black Versafine ink. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I added foam tape around the circle for the shaker portion and then more foam tape to pop up the rest of the panel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I glued the background panel to my card base, added some sequins to the centre and added my wood patterned panel on top, centred on my card base and background panel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally I cut a circle frame using the Shaker Combo Die Set, in silver mirri card and glued that around my aperture, adding some little screw embellishments to make it look a bit like a port hole on a ship.</div>
<br />

Hello! Whimsy Stamps are participating in a little 2 day blog hop for the Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge. Full details below, I made a card with my colouring, but please don't think you have to, colouring an image is enough.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a card using Whimsy Stamps Mazzerine Butterfly Fairy Stamp, water coloured with a combination of Distress Ink and Zig Markers to match my pretty papers. I've listed all the items used from Whimsy Stamps, along with links, at the end of this post. I finished off my card with some brads that I've had in my stash for about 5 years! They match with my colours and patterns so well though don't they?</div>

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm here with another stamp from the June release over at Whimsy Stamps, this one is a fun summer themed image....and well we all know how much I love penguins right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is called Ice Cream Penguin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a simple card, stamping and water colouring my image with Zig Markers and then mounting on some layers of colourful patterned paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The little sentiment is from an older Whimsy Stamps clear stamp set called Polka Dot Fun.</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a sweet little card for you today, using the Giraffe Baby Love stamp by Whimsy Stamps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a great card for so many different occasions, not just for a new baby.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've also used the Cloud and Grass Edger dies and the Shaker Maker Combo die set from Whimsy Stamps to make my card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />

I used a giraffe stencil from my stash to create the pattern on my frame using Vintage Photo and Antique Linen distress inks.<br />
<br />
My stamp is coloured with Zig Watercolor Markers and I used a little Tumbled Glass distress ink to ad a little colour to the skyline.<br />

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a shaker card for you today, made with the new Let's Be Mermaids clear stamp set from the June release at Whimsy Stamps. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stamped my mermaid and coloured her with a mix of distress and zig markers, and then fussy cut her out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made my background with distress oxide inks and blending tools over the new Mermaid Scaled stencil. (all links at the end of my post, just click on the pics to be taken to the item in store), and sprayed and blotted with some water to activate and create a watery effect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut my shaker apeture with an oval die and used my oxides again to make the shaker bac kground, stamping out the sentiment on top along with some of the bubbles from the set. I also stamped some bubbles and small shoals of fish onto my top card. I put my shaker card together on my base card popped my mermaid up with some shallow foam tape, and added some extra clear sequins on top to finish.</div>
<br />

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year is rolling by so fast I can't quite believe it's June already!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I have a fun and simple card, made using a new clear stamp set from the Whimsy Stamps June release.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's called Splash and it a versatile little set you could use for many occasions. I love that it works for masculine cards too, I think I'll be making quite a few cards using this set as it also works well with other ocean themed stamps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy0jN-7nbVbHUYupAWFfCHXkQsenG85cxOjxt7bJKw4mPRJT2gAGJvX6yK5s8hblT5O0bVzmKQXKOocE1RKg9cqum1b01Ud_k4L2wvTQj0qO3gs_2DHTbmAxUxWHVbzybywN-umT-0Mlg/s1600/Splash+%2526+Cloud+Edger.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1231" data-original-width="1600" height="492" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy0jN-7nbVbHUYupAWFfCHXkQsenG85cxOjxt7bJKw4mPRJT2gAGJvX6yK5s8hblT5O0bVzmKQXKOocE1RKg9cqum1b01Ud_k4L2wvTQj0qO3gs_2DHTbmAxUxWHVbzybywN-umT-0Mlg/s640/Splash+%2526+Cloud+Edger.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Making this card was so easy. First I stamped the waves with Versamark ink and embossed with white embossing powder. Then I used several blue tones of ink and blending tools to colour the waves and create a sky. I stamped the dolphins and seagulls with Versafine ink and then cut a piece of white card with a cloud edger die and stamped a sentiment from the set on top.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I adhered this onto my panel and then trimmed the panel to be a little smaller than my card base and glued it to the base with a piece of craft foam in between to pop it up a little.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To finish I added some some Nuvo Crystal Drops - Morning Dew to look like water droplets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Simple!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I have a very simple card made using the new Hello Friend fairy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love these fairies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stamped in Versafine Onyx Black and coloured her with my distress markers to match some pretty paper I found in my stash.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's time for a new release from Whimsy Stamps!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I've used the new Biker Kickstart My Heart set and made a masculine card......I know, don't faint! These are usually my kryptonite but this set makes it so easy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've added links to the products at the end of my post, just click on the images of the products to take you there.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the bike as my focal point, coloured with Zig Markers, fussy cut and mounted on a couple of the new stitched ovals and made a background with one of the sentiment stamps and the checkered border stamp from the same set. I just stamped once with an acrylic block rather than over stamping with my MISTI, because I wanted that slightly grungy look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finished off with some red glitter tape and some little screw heads.</div>

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Goodness how fast this year is going, I can't believe that it's already April solidly into Spring, (although with all the cold and snow we've had recently that's really hard to fathom!).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, since it's April, we have, of course, a new product release at Whimsy Stamps. There really are so many fabulous new goodies, but for my card today I've been playing with the 'Old Fart' clear stamp set.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a fun little set with a fun image and lots of hilarious sentiments to go with. Great for those in your life of a more 'seasoned' age.....provided they have a solid sense of humour of course.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I kept things simple, stamping in black ink and colouring fairly basically with a mix of distress ink and Zig markers. I added some patterned paper along with some die cuts and a sentiment from the same paper pack that went well with the image and stamped sentiment from the set that I used on the card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finished with a few of Whimsy's glittery enamel dots.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello!<br />
<br />
I have a super quick and easy card to share with you today, using the Clear Stamp Set<br />
'Unconditional Love'<br />
This is a brilliant set for all you pet lovers card needs.<br />
My card today could be used for several occasions, including a sympathy card for a pet bereavement.<br />
<br />
To make my card a made a top folding vertical A2 card base from black cardstock, and then cut a narrower panel from more black cardstock.<br />
I used my anti static tool on this panel and then stamped the large image from the stamp set in Versamark Ink and embossed with gold embossing powder. I did the same for the sentiment below the image.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used some gold glitter tape to make 2 vertical lines towards the edges of my card and then mounted the panel on the base card with some craft foam to pop it up a little.<br />
<br />
Finally I added a few drops of gold Nuvo Drops to finish off.<br />
<br /></div>
