ThermOWeb & Whimsy Stamps Collaboration Day Three

 This week Whimsy Stamps and ThermOWeb are partnering for a fabulous week of inspiration and prizes!  All week long designers from both teams will be sharing ways to add foils and more to your projects using products from ThermOWeb and Whimsy Stamps.  Read to the end of this post to find out how you can win!  

Hello everyone! Don't you love glimmer and glitz on your cards? I know I do. Even a touch makes the recipient feel special! Keep reading to see what sparkle I added using products from ThermOWeb!

For my project today, I am using Whimsy Stamps' Bunny Balloons Clear Stamp Set by Deb Davis - Amped2Stamp. I love the sweet bunnies and the variety of sentiments to go with them. I stamped my images with VersaFine Clair Nocturne (my favorite black ink), and then colored with Copic markers.

I chose Whimsy Stamps' Polka Dot Stencil, and used Deco Foil™ Transfer Gel to apply my Deco Foil™ Transfer Sheets in Rose Gold. It makes for a beautiful design with this stamp set! To keep my stencil in place, I taped it down with the amazing Purple Tape - it's removable and doesn't tear your project! I added some paper hearts sprinkled in with the polka dots to help convey the sentiment message for a love note to a friend! I think the shine from the foil is so pretty!

White Christmas

Hello Everyone!
Today I have a pretty CAS (Clean and Simple) card to show you!

I started with white and red mirror cardstock (the hardest to photograph!), along with some basic die cut shapes, and one of the trees from the Evergreen Trees Die Set. I stamped my sentiment from Bundled Up in VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink.

I stamped one of the snowflakes from Bundled Up in VersaMark, and then embossed with Clear powder. 

I then assembled the card, popping up the circle with 3D Foam Circles, and adding a few Snow White pearls for bling.

Super elegant and super easy! Plus - it's flat enough to mail without extra postage, and that's always a plus!
Hope your November was full of blessings!

31 Nights of Halloween Night 28

Welcome to Night 28 of Whimsy Stamps' 31 Nights of Halloween Blog Celebration! Have you been enjoying all of this spooky event and all of the fun inspiration?  In case you missed it, be sure to check out grand prize post here.  

I am starting out with a combination of two new October images: Howling Night and Web Background. This is a monochromatic design. I stamped everything with VersaFine Onyx Black (I love this black ink more than any!) on gray cardstock - really easy, but a great look for these images  (and it's flat and mailable)!

I stamped the background first, and then arranged all of the other images (four) on top. I love those little bats! For Harry Potter fans, this reminds me of Remus Lupin. How about you?

You can see the complete stamp sets and the supplies I used below.

Thanks for stopping by tonight! Only three more days until Halloween!

 

If Frank Ain't Happy, Ain't Nobody Happy

Only a few days left until our October Release Days begin! You are going to LOVE what's coming! But until then, I want to share something from the September Release that I just LOVE!

I love this Web Background! It has such depth to the image, and stamps beautifully the first time!

For today's card, I decided to use a purple ink, instead of black, and I think it looks really cool. I used Wilted Violet ink for the background color. 

I stamped Frank from Franken Schmutz with VersaFine Onyx Black and then colored him using Copic markers. The Bold Banner Die was the perfect size for my sentiment. I used the perforated tabs to bend in in a forward arc so that it stands out. 

The Happy Large Word Die is cut from glitter green paper and matches the background layer in such a sparkly, fun way! The black panel was cut using the Hand Stitched Nested Rectangles.

His expression is so funny. Stay tuned for more Whimsy fun this weekend, and then be sure to stop by October 1 for some NEW things!
