Special Guest - Lollipots 'N Polkadots

 

 

  Let's give a warm welcome to Teresa Plunkett, better known as Lollipots 'N Polkadots. 

Hey Y'all!!! Oh my gosh! I'm so thrilled to be a guest designer for Whimsy Stamps for the month of November!! Here's my first project.... I fell in love with Wraith-Mae the first time I laid eyes on her. She's a digital stamp from Whimsy Stamps. Her expression could mean so many things. And my mom's middle name is Mae which makes her even more fun. I decided for this card her expression would be one of disbelief. Isn't that the way you feel when the first foot of snow falls each year? Especially here in NC? All the details for this card are below (including links). 

     

I started by coloring Wraith-Mae with Copic markers.

COPIC MARKERS:

• Dress (BG49, BG13, BG11)

• Hair (N10, N9, N7, N5, N3)

• Skin (E04, E21, E11, E000, E0000)

• Eyes & Lips (B000, C0, R29)

I used Iridescent Glitter Gel and the Polka Dot Stencil from Whimsy Stamps to create a fun snowy background. This gel is just the coolest stuff and I love this stencil!  Next, I created snowy hills using the Whimsy Stamps' Grass and Cloud Edger Dies.  I cut four random sets of hills and covered them in snow with Stickles Icicle.  I popped them up with foam tape to give them some dimension.  The winter trees and lamp post are from Whimsy Stamps' Trees Assortment and Elvira Moonlighting Die Sets.  I covered the trees with a little Icicle Stickles.  I cut the lamp post from both turquoise paper (to match Wraith-Mae's dress) and black cardstock.  I placed yellow cardstock behind the lamp and added more snow with Icicle Stickles.  The sentiment "Make The Best Of It..." is from the Dragon Water Fun stamp set, and I cut it out with the Quick Strips Die.  

Thank you, Teresa, for this beautiful inspiration! 

Whimsy Stamps and Tombow Collaboration, Day 2, Post 2

All week long, Whimsy Stamps and Tombow will be joining forces to bring you some amazing inspiration combining products from these great companies! Be sure to visit both companies' blogs each day this week to see all of the incredible projects the designers have created AND to enter the giveaways (see instructions below my project).

Welcome to Day 2, Post 2! Judy Rozema here to share a sweet CAS winter card using Tombow products and one of my favorite Whimsy Stamps stamp sets: Bundled Up.

To start my project, I stenciled snow on my Hammermill White cardstock using the Polka Dot Stencil, various light blue inks, and a blender brush. The snow is very subtle to not overpower the rest of the design.

Next I added drifts using one of the dies from the Stitched Border Die Trio and attached them to the card base with Tombow Adhesive Dots. I stamped my images with black ink, and then colored in using Tombow's ABT Pro Markers Green Tones, two markers from the Citrus Dual Brush Pen Art Markers, and Copics. The tree from the stamp set was off-stamped to give a little more depth and a lighter, snowy look.

The main panel was pierced around the edge and popped up using Tombow's Foam Tape. I added Crystal Stickles under my images for snow, and a few sequins attached with MONO Multi Liquid Glue for added sparkle. One of my Copics leaked (B00) as I was shadowing my girl's skirt, but you just go with it! Especially when it's the last thing you do! The card base is one of the fun papers from the Whimsy Stamps' Chilly 6x6 pack. Simple and sweet and mailable!

I hope you continue to join us this week as we share more inspiration using the Tombow products!

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!
