Aloha and a new Release

Thursday, June 1, 2023

Hello friends! The first of the month means it's time for a new mini release at Whimsy Stamps. And this one is absolutely perfect for me as I just got back from 8 days in Hawaii a couple of weeks ago. :) This will be a fun card to send to my friend who I visited out there. 

There are some super cute summer themed stamps, dies, and papers in this release.

For my card today, I started by taking one of the patterned papers from the new Slimline Just Beachy papers and I added it to a slimline notecard that measures just about 3.5x8.5 inches. I then took the Bold ABC dies and die cut the letters to spell Aloha. I popped them up with foam tape and added them to the card. 

I then stamped one of the cute images from the new Aloha Kids set and colored her with my Copic markers. I let my Scan and Cut trim her out for me. I added some thin foam squares behind her and added her to the beach and that completes this fun card.


I hope you have a wonderful day. Thanks for your visit and crafty hugs! ~ Alanna

I do Declare

Tuesday, May 30, 2023

Hi friends. I have a fun card to share with you today using some fun products from Whimsy Stamps.

To get started, I die cut the Milk Can die set from some silver foil card stock. I then added the cute heifer from the Southern Cow Bell set. 

I used the Southern Cow Bell outline die to cut her out. I added the milk jug to a purple mini slimline card base and then added the heifer with some foam tape. I stamped one of the sentiments from the Southern Cow Bell set and then added the I Do Declare Word die sentiment on top of that. Some clear gems finish off this fun card.


I hope you have a wonderful day. Thanks for your visit and crafty hugs! ~ Alanna

Take a Moment

Friday, May 26, 2023

Hi friends and happy Friday. I have another card to share today using a new set from Whimsy Stamps - the Beach Babes set, illustrated by Dustin Pike.

To get started, I stamped one of the images from the Beach Babes set  onto a piece of white card stock that I had die cut using the largest die from the Wonky Stitched Rectangles die set. I colored in the image with my Copic markers and then stamped the sentiment, included in the Beach Babes set.

I added foam tape behind my panel and added it to a white A2 notecard and this card is complete.

The Best Love Story

Thursday, May 25, 2023

Hello friends. I'm sorry for my absence. I just got back from vacation and I'm riding the struggle bus a bit to get back into the swing of things. :) 

My card today uses the new Special Day stamp set from Whimsy Stamps which is perfect to celebrate anniversaries and much more. 

To get started, I took the previously released Vintage Script Background stamp and stamped it onto white card stock with black ink. I then took this panel and die cut it using the Connected Hearts Frame die. I took the large center portion of the die and stamped my sentiment onto it which is from the new Special Day set. I also die cut the Connected Hearts Frame die another time from red card stock. 

I then got to work on assembly which started by adding the script background portion to a piece of black card stock. I then added the red heart frame and then inlaid the remainder pieces of the Connected Hearts Frame die with the white pieces.

I added the entire panel to a red A2 notecard and that completes this card. 


I hope you have a wonderful day. Thanks for your visit and crafty hugs! ~ Alanna

Served Like a Girl

Thursday, May 18, 2023

Hello friends. I'm sharing a card I created for an April release at Whimsy Stamps. As per usual, I'm a bit behind in my sharing here. :)

For this card, I made a mini slimline card using just the fabulous Military Sheroes set. This set has some amazing images and sentiments in it. 

I stamped the silhouette image 4 times in grey ink, overlapping each one slightly. I then stamped it a final time in black ink. I stamped a sentiment included in the Military Sheroes set with black ink and then stamped the stripe image, trimmed it out, and added it with some foam tape.


I hope you have a wonderful day. Thanks for your visit and crafty hugs! ~ Alanna

A CAS Card

Monday, May 15, 2023

Hi friends. I have a soft and pretty card to share with you today featuring products from Whimsy Stamps that I made a few months ago and never got around to sharing. 

To get started, I stamped the Winter Roses Background stamp onto a piece of white card stock with soft pink ink. I then die cut this panel using the largest die from the Wonky Stitched Rectangles die set.

I then stamped some of the sentiments from the Actions set into the center. I love the mix of larger and smaller fonts along with the pink and black inks. I added the panel to a light pink A2 notecard and finished it off by adding in some white pearls.



I hope you have a wonderful day. Thanks for your visit and crafty hugs! ~ Alanna
