My first card I have to share with you is using a few of their fabulous products, all from Deb Davis's collection at Whimsy stamps:
This card was a simple one to create but has a really great WOW factor! The adorable pandas really pop on this design!

To start my card I create a card base of 5 x 6.5 using thick white cardstock. I then stamped another piece of thick white cardstock with the amazingly versatile gingham background stamp using barely beige ink and die cut with a stitched border. I absolutely LOVE stamps that I can use to create my own pattern backgrounds in the colors that go with my card! For the center design, I inked the sun rays stencil on trimmed watercolor paper using shabby shutters and bundled sage oxide inks and then die cut the three windows. I then stamped the sentiment in the little circle left from the sun rays stencil. I love the little space that had enough room for my sentiment!

I stamped the adorable pandas and bamboo from the panda butt stamp set, colored with copic markers, and fussy cut out, but they do have the awesome coordinating dies to make your life easier! To put it all together, I glued the bamboo to the bottom of the windows and left them free along the top and pop dotted the adorable pandas around the windows. I hope I have inspired you to create with these adorable pandas, Whimsy stamps are extremely affordable and adorable!
