Best Buddies Loved Beyond Words

 That's an understatement!

I started this sweet Best Buddies card off with the new Scratchy Plaid background stamp. 

I stamped it in navy ink onto a light blue background which gave this card just the right masculine feel I was looking to couple with the Best Buddies stamp set.

I stamped one of the two main images from the Best Buddies set onto Bristol cold pressed watercolor paper and used distress inks to watercolor it. Then cut it out using the Notched Rectangle die set and popped it up on foam tape.

I very lightly water colored another piece of bristol paper to stamp my sentiment on then cut it out using one of the Quick Strips dies, you all know how much I love that die set, it's a must have IMO. 

To complete my card, I matted onto a navy blue card base.

This would make such a sweet Father's Day card wouldn't it?

National Pet Adoption Day

April 30th is National Pet Adoption Day and Whimsy Stamps has an on-going campaign that donates $1USD to the Gulf Coast Humane Society for every Adopt Don't Shop Dogs and Adopt Don't Shop Cats stamp sets sold. 

You can read more about this campaign HERE. 

I started out with a black card base and layered on a nutmeg colored matte from the Tiger 6x6 patterned paper pack. 

I stamped the Adopt Don't Shop Dog image twice with Memento black ink and colored it with Copic markers.

I hand cut out 3 of the little doggies and popped each of them up on foam tape.

I heat embossed the sentiment then used one of the Quick Strips dies to cut it out and also popped that up on foam tape.

I die cut the largest banner from the Shaker Maker Banner die set from black card stock then added the main image on top to complete my card.

I hope you have a day filled with love from your furbabies.

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)

CAUTION! Dog Slobber

Today is National PUPPY Day! 

Proceed with CAUTION there's Dog Slobber ahead...

This little guy from the Caution Dog Slobber clear stamp set is just so happy, his silly expression makes me smile! You can see another card I made using this set HERE.

I stamped him with Versafine Vintage Sepia ink on Canson cold pressed watercolor paper and used Faber Castell watercolor pencils to color him.  Then die-cut him out with the matching Caution Dog Slobber die set.

I stamped the sign and sentiment with the same ink and actually just cut that out by hand but there is a matching die included in the die set for that too. 

I then stamped the caution sign 3 more times and hand cut just the top caution part on all 3 of them. I glued 2 of them under the dog and the third one I popped up on foam tape and put on the sign for some dimension. And of course I had to add a little glitter to his tongue and drool - lol

 The dog and triangle are popped up on foam tape for dimension too. And to finish I glued onto a dark pink matte and then to a dark brown card base. 

I hope you are enjoying National Puppy Day with your furbabies?!

Tabby Tigers TOO CUTE for Words

Isn't this little Tabby Tiger just too cute for words?! And all the other little tabbies in the set are just as cute! 

While this PAPER DOOR stamp set is called Tabby Tigers, they could simply be a different color to make them tabby kitties. For that matter this little guy could be an orange tabby. But for today I'm using the tiger patterned paper included in the PAPER DOOR kit so he's a cutie tiger.

I used the square from the Shaker Maker Combo die to cut out the tiger paper frame. This die is 5.25 x 5.25 and is PURRfect for square cards, I rarely make a square card without it (love).

I stamped the Tabby Tiger and the birdie, colored them with Copic markers and cut them out with their matching dies (included in the kit).

I heat embossed the "TOO CUTE" sentiment which is from a separate 3x4 stamp set also included in the Tabby Tigers Paper Door kit. Then stamped the coordinating sentiment and cut that out with one of the Quick Strips dies, told ya I would use this die set on almost every card I make from now on ha.

I added foam tape to the back of the tiger frame and adhered that to a 5.25 x 5.25 white card base. Then put the completed black square with the sentiment and critters glued it flat in the center. The tiger is popped up on foam tape too.

 

 

Our NEWLY redesigned PAPER DOOR kits are creating quite the ROAR. There's so much value in the kits, they are only $29.95 (plus shipping) but you get $50+ worth of Whimsy Stamps PAPER DOOR exclusive products!
