Angel Ariel

Hello everyone!  Rachel here today and I have a card to share with you featuring the beautiful Angel Ariel Rubber Stamp. (Affiliate links used.)

I wanted Angel Ariel to be the main focal point, so I went with a simple design today and created a single-layer card except for the addition of the gorgeous large stitched frame from the Shaker Maker Combo Die Set.

 I stamped my image with Copic friendly Black Ink using my Misti.  I then used my Copic Sketch Markers to color everything.

Copic Colors Used:

• Skin: E0000, E000, E21, E11, E04
• Hair: E40, E42, E43, E44
• Pink Skirt: RV0000, RV00, RV52, RV55, RV66, RV69
• Purple Top: V000, V01, V04, V06, V09
• Background Sky: BG0000, BG000, BG01
• Ground: W00, W0, W1, W2, W3
• Wings: 0, C00, C1, C3, C4 

 I stamped my sentiment from the "Splash" Clear Stamps Set on the bottom right corner of my card.  Lastly, I diecut my stitched frame from White Card Stock using the large square die from the Shaker Maker Combo Die Set.  I used liquid adhesive to adhere this piece to the outer portion of my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  You can check out this beautiful stamp in the photo links below.

Angel Ariel

Happy Monday! This is Jeanette and I have a card to share with you that features the very sweet Angel Ariel rubber stamp.  I kept this card very simple so that the image would shine! It was such a lovely image to color.  I love all the folds in her dress as well as all the layers in her hair.

I stamped the image onto Neenah Solar White Smooth Cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. This is my preferred combo when I am coloring with Copic Markers (I have listed the Copic Markers that I used below). Once the image was colored, I added some background color using  light grey and  light yellow prismacolor pencils.  This gave a nice soft effect to the card.

I created an A2 sized card-base using some bright red card-stock.  I thought it went nicely with the deeper tones in her dress. I then cut the card-stock with my colored imaged to measure 4.0" x 5.25".  This way I have a nice border with the card-base.  I scattered a few sequins to fill in some of the empty space and stamped a small sentiment up in the left-hand corner.  I then added some white high-lights onto the image using a white gel pen.

Copic Markers Used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R20, R30

Hair: YR30, YR31, YR24, E35

Dress: R30, R32, R35, R37, R39

Wings: 0, W00, W1, W3

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope this inspires you to create a Clean and Simple card using this gorgeous image!

Coffee Friend

I am very pleased, that I have the opportunity to show my cards here.  

Today I show a card for all Coffee Friends :) I am Ute and I show you this inspiration:

How I made this card?

I work with Pixelmator to cut the Digital Stamps, because I will only work with the word FRIEND. After the cut, I copy past the word in my program Pages. I adjust the sentiment on the page... I will work with a regular stamp set and use the coffee theme. I need also a second sentiment, but I haven't one how fit. So I write Coffee in a font, that I like. After finish I print the paper out with my Laserprinter. Now I cut the card in 4x11Inch and score it by 5.5 Inch. I foil the sentiment with a foil from my stuff. After than I stamp one cup, masking and stamp the second too. Now I color the cups with my Prismacolor pencils.  I like to have a face in the cups and use a stamp set from Simon Says Stamp for the smilie. At least I use a strip of paper on my card. 

Which Whimsy products I used?

I used the wonderful Sentiment "Say it big"  and I also use an older stamp set "Coffee Break" for my card. 

Thanks for visit the Whimsy Stamp blog and for your lovely comment.

CAS Rainbow-inspired Pet Sympathy Cards

Hi there, Whimsy fans!  It's Andrea here with you today, and I'm sharing a pair of quick pet sympathy cards featuring the new Love Has Four Paws clear stamp set.

My cards were inspired by this cross stitch pattern I saw on Pinterest.  To create my version of it, I used one of the paw print images from the new Love Has Four Paws clear set.  I chose some rainbow colors of ink and went to town stamping paw prints all over an A2-sized piece of white cardstock.

Once I was happy with my "patterned paper", I die-cut it with the Stitched Heart Die set (retired).  For my first card, I placed my die-cut panel on top of a white card.  Using my MISTI I stamped the dog image from Love Has Four Paws, as well as a sentiment from the set, in black.

I adhered the die-cut panel to my card with foam tape.  For a little sparkle, I added some clear sequins.

My second card uses the leftover heart from my die-cut panel.  I adhered it with foam tape to a white card.

My sentiment is from Pets Fill My Heart, released in January.  Onto a strip of black cardstock, I stamped the sentiment with Versamark and white heat-embossed it.  I bannered both ends of the strip before adding it to my card with foam tape.  Again, I finished the card with some clear sequins.

Thank you for stopping by!  Don't forget about the free CAS set (pictured below) Whimsy is adding to every qualifying order of $75 or more this month.  Also, if you'd like to win some Whimsy cash, be sure to play along with our monthly challenges here.

Quick and easy Christmas cards.

Well I can't ignore it. Christmas is truly on it's way and it's time I started getting serious about making my Christmas cards.

I don't know about you, but though there are cards I will spend a couple of hours on for special people, if I need to make a lot of cards, I need to simplify so that I can make lots in less time. 

Sometimes though when batch making cards you don't want to make them all the same right? 

So when I received the Abstract Christmas stamp set I was overjoyed, because this was a stamp set that was very versatile, (not to mention that it comes with so many mix and match seasonal sentiments that work great with other stamp sets).

So below I've shown a few examples of different ways I've used this stamp set and each card took only around 15  minutes to make on average.

A stamp set, some ink and embossing powder, plain card,  a couple of basic rectangle dies and simple embellishments was all it took to make these cards and I finished them all in an evening. 

You can find a link to the stamp set I used below.

Time to get started on those Christmas cards!
