Whimsy Stamps - 2 Mini Slimline Cards

Hi friends and happy Tuesday! I am back today with a pair of mini slimline cards featuring the brand-new Coneflower Frame die from the newest release at Whimsy Stamps.

To get started, I took a large piece of watercolor card stock and first sprayed it with water. I then sprayed it using 3 colors of Distress Oxide sprays from Tim Holtz (all listed and linked below). 

Once my panels were dry, I took some white paint and splattered the background. I then die cut the background using the new Coneflower Frame die. I die cut the Coneflower Frame die again but this time from heavyweight white card stock also and adhered my sprayed background on top of the white die cut to add just a bit of dimension.

I then added my die cuts to my mini slimline notecards. I stamped the sentiment which is from the Simple Sentiment Strips set. I finished off the card by adding in some Metallic Aqua confetti from This Calls for Confetti.

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

Whimsy Stamps New Release & Inspiration

Hi friends and welcome back! I have a fun slimline card to share with you today featuring a super cute new stamp set, Lady Buggies, from today's release at Whimsy Stamps. The images in this set along with the sentiments are just so cute.

To get started, I took the previously released Slimline Meadow die and die cut it two times, once from a light blue card stock and once from green card stock. On the blue portion, I took the It's Cloudy stencil and blended on some clouds using white pigment ink. I also tamped a couple of the image from the Lady Buggies set directly onto the blue background and then I colored them very simply with Copic markers. 

I adhered both pieces of the Slimline Meadow back together and adhered it to a slimline notecard that measures 3.5x8.5 inches.

I then stamped two of the images from the Lady Buggies set, colored them, and then used my Scan n' Cut to gut them out. I tucked one of the images into the hill portion and then after I figured out where I wanted my second image to go, I stamped the sentiment which is part of the Lady Buggies set. I added the second image just on top of the sentiment with some thin foam squares.

I then decided that my card needed just a little something extra, so I die cut the small stem and floral dies that are part of the Slimline Meadow die set. I die cut them from white card stock and then added in some simple coloring. I tucked these into the bottom portion of the card and that completes the card.

Here is some inspiration from the entire team.

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

Whimsy Stamps New Release & Shenanigans

Hello friends and Happy St. Patrick's Day! I have a fun card to share with you today featuring a couple newer die sets from Whimsy Stamps.

To get started, I took the Burlap Background stamp and stamped it with black ink on top of some green card stock. I definitely wasn't going for perfection with the background. I then trimmed the panel down, added it to a piece of black card stock leaving a thin border, and then I added it to a green A2 notecard.

I then got to work on my die cuts. I used the Shenanigans Lassie die set and the Shenanigans Word and Shadow die set for my card. The word portion of the die set along with the hat and boots were die cut from some card stock that I had created using various sprays to get a fun look.

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

Flat Shaker Card

Hello friends. It's been a busy week on my blog this week. :) I appreciate you and the time you take to come check out what I'm working on. For today, my card features some recently released products from Whimsy Stamps. 

For my card today, I created a flat shaker card. I first stenciled with a couple shades of yellow ink using the Dotty 6x9 stencil. I trimmed this panel down with the largest die from the Wonky Stitched Rectangles die set. I then stamped one of the cute images and a sentiment from the newer Whoopsie stamp set. I love the images and sentiments in this set.

I then got to work on creating the shaker part of the card. For this flat shaker, I took some old packaging and adhered tape to 3 of the sides around my stamped panel. I then added in some White Sands confetti from This Calls for Confetti. I sealed up the top portion and then added the panel to a yellow A2 notecard.

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

More Foiled Tulips

Hi friends. I've been having so much fun with the Wonderful Tulips glimmer plate and die set from Spellbinders and just had to create another set of cards. If you missed my other post using this set, you can check it out here.

For today's cards, I took the Wonderful Tulips glimmer plate and foiled it onto Onyx card stock from Spellbinders. This black card stock foils like an absolute dream and it's the only black I will foil on. I used the newer Matte Silver foil for the foiling and absolutely love how it looks on the black. Once my panels were foiled, I adhered them to light blue A2 notecards. 

I then stamped and die cut the sentiment which is from the I've Got you Covered stamp and die combo set. I die cut each of the words a second time to stack behind for some added dimension. I finished off the cards by adding in a few gems and that finishes off these cards.

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

Spring is in the Air

Hello friends! Thank you so much for joining me today. I have another slimline card featuring the beautiful Slimline Gulliver's Garden papers from Whimsy Stamps. If you missed the first card, I created using these papers, you can check it out here.

For this card, I took one of the papers from the Slimline Gulliver's Garden collection and trimmed it down just slightly and then took my Corner Chomper to round all the corners. I then took a sentiment from the newer Easter Sentiments set and heat embossed it directly onto the patterned paper. 

I added the panel with some foam tape to a coordinating yellow slimline notecard and this card is complete.

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

Good Luck Slimline Card

Hello friends and welcome back! I have a quick and easy slimline card to share with you today featuring the Lucky Horseshoes set that was released last month from Whimsy Stamps.

To get started, I took the horseshoe image and stamped it repeatedly onto white card stock. I then trimmed this panel down and rounded the corners. I added it with foam tape to a piece of gold mirror card stock which was added to a slimline white notecard that measures about 3.25x8.25 inches.

I finished off the card by adding in some shamrocks which are from the Shenanigans Lassie die set, also released last month.

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