Across The Pond

Hey There! Today I have a card for you where I am showcasing the NEW Animal Tiles - Across the Pond illustrated by Barbara Sproatmeyer together with the NEW Slimline Connected Rectangles.

I stamped the Animal Tiles onto watercolor paper and colored with Karin Brush Pro Markers. I then fussy cut the Animal Tiles. My slimline card base was created from Kraft cardstock. I die cut the Slimline Connected Rectangles die from the Slimline Taffy papers. I die cut the SL Connected Rectangles again from blue shimmer cardstock and used the rectangle inlays as background for the animal tiles. The sentiment which is included with the Animal Tiles clear stamp set was stamped onto Kraft cardstock and added using foam tape.

You're Awesome

Are you enjoying the long weekend? Here is a slimline card I made the other day using the Bendy Borders clear stamp set from Whimsy's newest release as well as previously released stamps and dies.

For the border on top and at the bottom I used one of the border strips from the Bendy Borders clear stamp set from Whimsy Stamps July 1st release. The flowers are from the FaDoodles Flowers clear stamp set and the Scalloped Circle Frame die from last months release. I created the sentiment using the Awesome word die and the You're from the Fantabulous clear set. A few clear sequins finish off my card.

May All Your Wishes Come True

Happy 4th of July - Happy Birthday America! Wishing everyone a fabulous holiday and please stay safe out there wherever you celebrate! 

Here is another beautiful stamp from the recent release. This stamp is such a pretty one and can be used for many occasions. Good news for everyone who hates to fussy cut there is also a matching die available for this stamp! 😉

I stamped the Elegant Butterfly with orange dye ink onto white Hammermill cardstock. I decided to make it a shaker card and used the circle element from the Shaker Maker Combo die set for that. I cut a piece of black cardstock using one of the Quick Strip dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Simple Sentiment Strips clear set with Versamark ink and heat embossed in white. 

Another NEW product is the A2 Envelope Builder. Now you can make a matching envelope for each card. It's fast & easy and it also has a die for making a liner insert. For my custom A2 envelope I went with white and made the liner in matching orange using the Bandana 6x6 papers.

Whimsy July 1st Release - Get Well Soon

Hey Whimsy Fans, it's the 1st of the month and that means 'Release-Time'!!! Do you remember the Butterflies clear stamp set that has been released some time earlier? I LOVE this set and it is one of my all time favorites because it is so versatile and you can use if for all kinds of cards and occasions. What's new is that we have now matching outline dies for the Butterflies! Isn't that amazing? That saves so much time because fussy cutting can be real time consuming. Just stamp, color and die cut and voila! A perfect cut out butterfly! 

I made a slimline card using one of my ready to use gel printed backgrounds I keep in my drawer. When I am in the mood to do some gel printing I usually get carried away and at the end of the day I have tons of gel printed papers. I keep all those handy to use up for my card making. This summery red/pink and yellow/orange piece of gel printed paper is perfect for my rather simple butterfly card.
I created the frame using the Slimline Birthday Scallops Die. 

I created the frame using the Slimline Birthday Scallops Die. I stamped the butterflies from the Butterflies clear stamp set onto vellum paper with black pigment ink and heat embossed with black embossing powder. I then die cut the butterflies using the NEW matching Butterflies Outline dies. The sentiment is from the Butterflies set as well. I cut it out using the Simple Sentiment Strips dies. A few clear confetti sequins finish off my card.

Just Keep Swimming - Turner Syndrome Foundation Card Auction

Hi Friends! Today I want to share a card with you that I made for a special cause. Lori Kobular is hosting a card auction to support the Turner Syndrome Foundation starting on Friday July 2nd. Here is a LINK to her Instagram account where you can see all the wonderful cards up for auction and where you also be able to put your bits in. 100% of the proceeds are going to the TSF!

I donated several of my cards for the auction including this one here. If you are interested you'll find this card and can bid on it HERE.

I used Fish Fanzy clear stamp set together with the Connected Bubbles die - one of my favorites. The BG is created using a sheet of the Under the Sea slimline papers and I added more details with the Ocean stencil to it.

There is also a matching slimline envelope which I created using the Slimline Envelope Builder die set.

I used another of the Under the Sea papers to line the inside of the envelope.

Here is the inside of the card

Lookin' Shark XOXO

Hey friends & Happy Sunday! Another cute shark card from me. This time I opted for a slimline version.

I combined the Lookin' Shark clear stamp and outlkine die set with the Taffy Slimline Papers and Wavy Edger dies as well as the Cutie Alphabet die set. Combining all these new products makes for a fast fun card.

I colored again with pencils and a base layer of alcohol markers as described here in this post.
