Less Stress More Crayons

Not only is this blue crayon screaming to be heard (ha), I felt the Crayons stamp set was screaming to be put together with the awesome new Slimline Five Frames die from the innovators of Slimline dies...Whimsy Stamps.

So Deeply Sorry

It's such a terrible time for the whole world right now, so many people are dying from this awful virus. April 2, 2020 had the largest death toll in the USA since the outbreak. This card is for all of those who have endured the loss of a loved one through this awful time in our history. And also for those who have had loss from other things during this time too. I'm so deeply sorry.

Whimsy Stamps Special Release Cancer Stamp Sets

Nearly every one has been or will be affected by cancer in one way or another. 

My family has been devastated and decimated by cancer. My sister is currently battling stage 4 lung cancer that has metastasized to her brain. We have lost our mother, grandfather, 5 aunts and 2 uncles to cancer, and my father and brother-in-law are cancer survivors. 

Needless to say it was very difficult and emotional for me to design these 3 new Whimsy stamp sets. I dedicate them to my beautiful sister Elizabeth who is nothing short of an inspiration. And to all the people whose lives have been infiltrated by this horrible, insidious disease. 

CANCER SUCKS!

I used the Cancer Sucks clear stamp set for my card today. There are two other sets within this special mini release, all of which can work independently or complementary to one another. 

At the bottom of this post are links to several other Whimsy Stamps creative team members sharing additional cards with this special release. 

  

 

I stamped the boxing gloves with Memento black ink and colored them with Copic markers then stamped the tiny "Cancer Sucks" on each of the gloves.

The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Clair (morning mist) ink. I love this grey ink, it works just right when black ink would otherwise be too harsh.

I matted the image onto black card stock and popped it up on foam tape for dimension, then added onto a black card base with a blush pink card stock accent.

Also added a silver brad to the top of the boxing gloves.

Several others from the Whimsy Stamps creative team are also sharing inspiration with these sets. You can check them out here...

Sleepy Sloth Tropical Oasis

This little Sleepy Sloth sure looks like he's pretty contented relaxing in his tropical oasis.

I started out with a kraft matte and stamped the stars from the NEW Sleepy Sloth clear stamp set onto the top portion. 

Then I used the Burlap Background (love the subtle texture this pattern adds), and stamped it onto a Pierced and Stitched Circle.

For the bottom portion of the card I used the NEW Build-an-Island Die Set and cut it out twice, once from brown card stock and once from green card stock. Then just cut off the green palm fronds and layered them on top of the brown fronds.

The Sleepy Sloth was stamped on white card stock, colored with Copic markers and fussy cut out. Then I layered him onto the burlap circle with foam tape and also added foam tape to the circle as well.

The sentiment was stamped on the same kraft card stock and popped up on foam tape for added dimension. The I matted everything onto a dark brown card base.

My mojo wasn't mojoing very well when I started on this card but I think it turned out pretty cute...what do you think?

I hope you relax and enjoy your day!

Cone of Shame - Well Played Human

OHmiGosh, that face...the sentiments for the Cone of Shame stamp set almost wrote themselves! 

I can't stop myself from laughing whenever I see that dog!

Of course the Puppy Paws background (which are now back in stock) was the perfect background to partner with the NEW Cone of Shame clear stamp set.

The dog and doghouse were stamped with Memento ink and colored with Copic markers. I seem to almost always have white feet on both cats and dogs when I color them, I guess I just really like sock feet :). 

Once the coloring was completed I hand cut out both images, and added foam tape to the back of just the dog.

Copics Markers Used:

W1, W2, W3

C1, C2

E44, E47, E79

  R37, R39, R59  

I used one of the NEW Wavy Stitched Squares dies as the black background and sponged on a little white ink for the shading under the dog and doghouse. I like how the images pop off the black, and it's such a cool die cut shape too. 

I matted onto a red matte then onto a 5.5 x 5.5 card base

The sentiment (bahhaahaha) was stamped onto one of the Quick Strips dies and wrapped around to the inside of the card. You could also cut it off but I liked the wrapped look for this card.

Can't you almost feel this defeated guys resentment - LOL?!

Hope this gave you a good giggle :o)

Pig Pun Paper Door - Na-Na

These little piggy's from the NEW Pig Puns PAPER DOOR kit just crack me up, they are having so much fun in their pig puddles celebrating their youngness - lol!

The NEW Pig Pun PAPER DOOR has all kinds of coordinated products to make all kinds of cute piggy cards. And for this card I coupled the kit with the NEW Whimsy Stamps PeekaBoo Window 4 die which fits the piggies AND the flies perfectly.

These little flies are just too funny to me, I stamped them and the piggies and colored them with Copic markers:

E50, E51, E33, E25, E11

R20

BG000

I'm loving the designs and feel of the heavy weight papers included in our kits. For this card I used one of the solid browns and tans but later this week I'll be posting cards using some of the super cute patterned ones too.

Who do you have on your birthday card list that you want to say Na-Na too that you're younger than they are - lol?!

Bunny Buddies Birthday Wishes

 Aren't these little bunnies so sweet, this clear stamp set is called Bunny Buddies and is part of the Whimsy Stamps April new release. 

The color combo for this card was inspired by the TV show Big Bang Theory, it's the colors from Howard and Bernadette's living room decor - lol

Whimsy Stamps has a great collection of rubber background stamps that give just the right amount of texture to complement so many styles of stamps. I love our background stamps as they basically make your own custom patterned paper in which you're only limited by your imagination.

So for my two backgrounds (the pocket and the area behind the bunnies) I'm using the Burlap background and the Messy Mesh background.

 I stamped the Burlap BG in navy blue ink onto a denim blue card stock. Then stamped the Bunny Buddies and hand cut out just the pocket, then stamped the wrinkles onto the pocket. 

I stamped the bunnies again onto white card stock and colored with Copic markers, then hand cut them out, cutting off the pocket below them. 

 

I lined the bunnies up behind the pocket and taped them into place leaving the little paw and ear over the pockets edge. I added foam tape to the back and placed on the Messy Mesh background. Then I added foam to the back of the heart and placed that on the pocket for even more dimension.

The blue frame was cut using the Rectangle Shaker Maker die (a staple die that I use often).

There are several sentiments in the Bunny Buddies set that can be combined for different occasions so I chose "Birthday Wishes" and stamped that onto one of the Quick Strips dies (another staple die I use ALL the time;). Then lastly I matted everything onto a sand colored card base.

I hope you have a great day!
