Xmas Hamster - special guest - Kathy Tanner

I am very, very lucky to be Guest Designing for Whimsy Stamps this month :) Yippee!

I was on the Whimsy Design team way back in 2013.  I loved their stamps then and I still do!
They have so many fabulous designs and they are such a quality product too.

I had lots of fun looking through all the stamps and trying to choose a few to play with this month.
It was a difficult decision but I chose a couple of newish ones and a couple of old favourites too.

For my first card I decided to use a stamp that I have wanted for years, Xmas Hamster by Sylvia Zet.

Isn't he adorably cute?!  He was lots of fun to colour too!

I used Copics and made a sky background behind him.

I then used the Envelope Edger Die Set to cut this piece out.

I love the way the sentiment looks on the card too.

It's a combination of the Happy Large Word Die and the 'Christmas' from Everyday Scripted Sentiments.

Copics used :

BG 000, 01, 10, 11, 72

B 0000, 01, 37, 39

R 24, 27, 30, 59

Y 13, 15, 28

BV 0000, 00

E 41, 42, 43, 44, 47, 50

W 00, 1

I think this little guy would make anyone's Christmas happier :)

Thanks for dropping by today :)

Bundled Up with special guest Rachel Alvarado

Hello everyone!  I'm so excited to be guest designing for Whimsy Stamps this month!  For my card today, I'm featuring a stamp set called Bundled Up along with lots of other fun Whimsy products.

I love this cute little stamp set, especially that sweet little bunny that is pictured here looking up at his friend.  I decided to create a double panel shaker card to create depth and dimension to my wintery scene.  I first learned about double shaker panel designs from THIS great tutorial by Jennifer McGuire a few years ago.

To start, I first created my background sky by blending a few Distress Inks (Milled Lavender, Seedless Preserves, and Dusty Concord).  I then spritzed this panel lightly with water and let it dry.  Once completely dry, I heat embossed some wintery-white trees from the Bundled Up Stamp Set on the horizon.  I then masked these off and added some snow by using the Polka Dot Stencil combined with some Snowflake Paste.  I also added a few more "snow" dots with a white gel pen.

For the frame of my card, I used the largest stitched square die from the Shaker Maker Combo Die Set in multiple layers in order to create the depth that I needed to get the multiple layers.  The stitching on this die is just gorgeous and I love the detailed effect that it gives to the outer frame of my card.  For the snowy pine trees, I used some of the trees from the Christmas Scene Builder Rubber Stamp Set and stamped them with green ink.  I then cut them out and added some "snow" to them again using my white gel pen.

For my stitched snow drifts, I used the Stitched Border Dies Trio and placed them a different depths in my shaker card.  To make this a double-panel shaker card, there are actually three layers of acetate on this card with shaker elements (I used Diamond Dust) in between each one.

Bundled Up Clear Stamps

For my colored images, I stamped them onto smooth white card stock, colored with Copic Sketch Markers and then cut them out.

Copic Colors Used:

• Skin: E0000, E000, E21, E11, E04
•  Teal Skirt: BG0000, BG000, BG01, BG02, BG05
•  Purple Coat: V000, V01, V04, V06, V09
• Hair: R14, E08, E18
• Bunny: 0, C00, C1, C2, C4, C5
