Burst of Colors

Happy Monday ! I've to share another Valentines card today. I used a clear stamp set from Whimsy's December 2017 release,  'Cupid in training' , as well as the coordinating dies ' Cupid in training die set' . Both are illustrated by the very talented Deb Davis from Amped to Stamp . My card base is 4 1/4" x 11" folded cross-wise. I made my background by stamping the little target image all over a layer of white cardstock (5 1/4" x 4") using Versafine onyx black ink and attched it to my card base. I then cut a layer of heavy vellum paper (5 1/8" x 3 7/8") and layered in on top of my background using clear foam tape. I colored the Cupid with Copics and stamped the heart garland with Memento Love Letter ink. Both were cut out using the coordinating dies from the ' Cupid in training die set' . The sentiment is included with the   'Cupid in training'  clear set. I stamped the sentiment onto black cardstock with

Hi Everyone! Today I have some Valentine inspiration for you. On my card I am showcasing a clear stamp set from the December 2017 release called Crazy For Chocolate , an older large word die 'Happy' and the newly released Polka Dot Stencil . To make this card I started by cutting my card base 4.25" x 11" from heavy weight bright white Hammermill cardstock. Folding it in half cross-wise. Using the   Polka Dot Stencil   and   some pink Nuvo Embellishment Mousse I created the dotted background. I colored the bowl of chocolate from the  Crazy For Chocolate   set using Copic alcohol markers   and cut it out using the coordinating Crazy For Chocolate die set . I've added   Stickles Sprinkled Sugar   to the top of each candy. Once it's dry it really looks like sprinkled sugar crystals. I love that it looks so real! Hre see for yourselves: The sentiment was partly cut out from brown cardstock using the   large word die 'Happy'   and t

Hi Everyone! Today's card showcases several stamps and a die set from the new Whimsy January release . Most of the products used on my project are linked below. I stamped the cat from the 'A Girls Best Friend' set using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink   and colored her with Copics . I then die cut the little furry friend using the matching 'A Girls Best Friend Dies' . I created a rainbow background with the Lattice Background stamp and the coordinating Background Lattice Buddies . Here I used the little paw from this set. There are 28 little designs to choose from. This gives you endless possibilities for creating your own backgrounds. I stamped the background using Versamark ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. I then sponged the background with Tim Holtz Distress inks (mermaid lagoon, picked raspberry, carved pumpkin and twisted citron). The sentiment is from the 'You're My Always' clear set. I stamped again with  Versam

Welcome to Day 4 of the Whimsy January 2018 Release! I am a dog person, always have been. Dogs always played a big role in my life, I grew up with dogs and I can not imagine being without one. Don't get me wrong I also love cats...in fact I am a huge animal lover, period! But dogs are number one in our house. So when I saw this cute clear set from the Whimsy January release called A Girls Best Friend  by Deb Davis , I just had to have a play with it. Isn't he adorable? I colored the images with Copics and cut them out with the matching A Girls Best Friend die set . The sentiment is included with the   A Girls Best Friend   clear stamp set . The background was sponged using the Formal Lattice Stencil   and Tumbled Glass Distress ink. The hearts on the string as well as the corner doodle are from the Fadoodles Too clear set . To add some dimension I die cut a tag with the largest of the  Stitched Tag die s,   cut out a window with my Exacto knife so the background will s
