Special Guest - Carol Hintermeier

Hello! I'm Carol and I'm very honored and thrilled to be a Guest Designer for Whimsy Stamps today!

I have two card projects to share with you today.  First up is my card featuring the oh, so adorable Happy Owlidays Too set!  When I saw this stamp set, I had to have it!  There are two other cute owl images in this set with several fun sentiments.

To begin, I used the Whimsy Stamps Twinkle stencil.  After placing the stencil on some dark blue card stock, I applied some Deco Foil Metallix White Pearl Gel through the stencil.  I set it aside to dry.  I stamped the owl and the holly leaves with some Copic safe ink and colored the images.

Next I used Whimsy's Pierced and Stitched Circles die set to cut the owl out.  I wanted it to look like he was perched on the sentiment strip so I used a ruler and drew a straight line on either side of the bottom of the image.  I used my paper trimmer to cut the straight portions and fussy cut along the bottom of feet and hat.  I also fussy cut the two holly clusters.



I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of card stock and adhered it to a silver glitter strip.  I adhered the stenciled piece onto an A2 top-folding card base, added the sentiment strip, the owl and the holly clusters.



I love the starry night look this stencil gives to this adorable owl scene!

Ok, now on to my second project.  I used the beautiful Floral Oval stamp for this next card.



Once again I used the Twinkle stencil on a die cut panel (it's a die I've had for a long time) and applied some Gina K. Designs Glitz Glitter Gel through the stencil.  I set that aside to dry.

I stamped the Floral Oval with Copic safe ink onto some Neenah 80# card stock.  After I finished coloring it, I fussy cut it out.



I adhered the stenciled piece to a top-folding A2 red card stock base.  I added some thin foam tape to the back of the oval and put in onto the card.  This stencil looks so pretty with the glittery gel!



Thank you so much Whimsy Stamps for inviting me to Guest Design for you!  I really enjoyed creating with your stamps, dies and stencil!
