Soul Mutt Free Kisses

Yep, they have to be free because you can't put a price on those priceless kisses!

I used navy blue ink to stamp the Burlap background onto a navy blue cardstock.  The Burlap BG is one of my favorite backgrounds because it gives just the right amount of texture without being over powering.  Plus it gives kind of a denim look especially with this blue on blue combo.

I cut out a stitched circle from cold pressed Bristol watercolor paper and stamped my the Soul Mutts image with Archival black ink (it's waterproof).  Then I used distress inks to watercolor the image.

I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder on a scrap of black card stock and trimmed it at an angle.  I added a yellow Whimsy Enamel Dot which was just the right touch to bring the yellow in the girls dress together. 

For the final touch I added some spots to the dog with the spotted stamps that are part of the Soul Mutts stamp set and I added a couple others with a black marker.

Then matted onto a vanilla card base to complete my card.  I hope you get lots of free kisses from your soul mutt everyday...they are the bestest!

Whimsy Retreat 2018 - Unconditional Love

This is a card I designed for a make-n-take at the Whimsy Retreat last weekend.  I combined the Unconditional Love stamp set with the NEW An Unbreakable Bond set.

 The paw is from the Unconditional Love set and the sentiment is from the An Unbreakable Bond set.

 

the technique is super easy, just stamp your image (solid images work best) with Versamark ink then swipe on pastel chalk with a cotton ball and the colors pop!  

For the lighter pastel card I also used our new Stitched Oval dies, I love this set of ovals they are each just the right size to accommodate so many of our Whimsy images and they have stitching on the oval itself and on the negative portion too.

All of the Rainbow Bridge Collection sets can be combined with one another so you have countless options with for all of your animal lover cards.

Have a great day!

Unconditional Love So Sorry

For this pet sympathy card I combined two stamp sets from the Whimsy Stamps Rainbow Bridge Collection.  Here is Unconditional Love and Paws to Remember; the entire Rainbow Bridge Collection complements one another and you can mix-n-match any of them.

I stamped the paw from Unconditional Love in a light blue ink.

The bone dog tag and the sentiment (also from Unconditional Love) were both heat embossed with silver embossing powder and fussy cut out. 

I also heat embossed one of the dog silhouette stamps from the Paws to Remember set with silver embossing powder and fussy cut it out.

Both the dog tag and dog were popped up with a double stack of foam tape for extra dimension.

Just this side of Heaven

None of us like the reason we have to make these cards but having received them myself I know just how much they mean to someone grieving.  If your looking for pet sympathy stamps, Whimsy Stamps has the largest collection of Rainbow Bridge stamps and accessories anywhere.  You're sure to find something that speaks to your heart.

I cut out some clouds with the Stitched Cloud die set and used them as a mask to sponge on the clouds for the background.  Then I sponged around the edges of the clouds and glued them onto to the card.  I used a q-tip and chalk to smudge on the rainbow.

I stamped the sweet little doggie from A Girl's Best Friend onto a scrap piece of white cardstock with Memento black ink.  Then I colored him with Copic markers and used the matching A Girl's Best Friend die set to cut him out.

I stamped the sentiment with Versafine black ink (the best ink for detail) and popped the dog up with foam tape.  Then mounted the card onto a black card base.

I will always be with you

Here's another clean and simple pet sympathy card using the new "Fill My Heart" stamp set from Whimsy Stamps Rainbow Bridge Collection.  

This card was just as quick and easy as the one I posted a couple of days ago.  I just stamped the dog with Versafine Vintage Sepia ink and the sentiment with versafine black ink.  

I used a ruler to draw the straight line with a black marker and put a little chalk under this sweet doggie for a shadow.  Then popped it up with fun foam for added dimension.  Done.

My work here is done.

A clean and simple pet sympathy card using the new "Fill My Heart" set from Whimsy Stamps Rainbow Bridge Collection.  

This was a very quick card to make but I think it's simplicity says a lot especially with that sentiment.

I used SU! Cajun Craze ink for the dog and black versafine for the shadow and sentiment.  The dog stamps is super easy to ink up using two different colors.  After I did my stamping I just matted it onto a cajun craze card mat and onto a white card base.   Done.

Rainbow Bridge meets Cute Cupid

I believe the place where Rainbow Bridge and Heaven meet is where we get to reunite with our furbabies and walk or run (or float if you prefer ;) into heaven together.  

My Rainbow Bridge collection from Whimsy Stamps has expanded to include two new sets in this months release and two more releasing next month.  I know it stinks that we even need these cards in the first place but it's nice to have so many heartfelt options to choose from.  And many of the sets in the collection have fun, non-sympathy options incorporated into them too.  For today's post here's a sweet little kitty from the new set A Girls Best Friend and I combined it with Cute Cupid to make her an angel. 

I stamped the little kitty, the wings and halo with Memento black ink and colored them with my Copic markers.  I love working with grey Copics, both the cool and the warm ones, these are the cool ones I used on this card C1, C3, C5, C7.

I used the flicking method to make the kitty look like a tabby and gave her a big pink nose ;o)

The wings and halo are from the Cute Cupid stamp set and matching dies that were released last month and I added some glitter to both for some angelic sparkle.

I heat embossed the sentiment with detail white embossing powder on some grey cardstock and put everything onto a plain pink cardstock background and mounted onto a grey card base.
