Helping Hands - Special Hurricane Irma Relief Set

Hello Whimsy Friends! Today I want to show you a card I made using a very special Whimsy clear stamp set that has just been released. It's called Helping Hands and was especially designed to support the disaster relief efforts underway in Southwest Florida in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma.

This special Helping Hands clear stamp set, illustrated by Whimsy illustrator and Florida native Deb Davis, is available to purchase as a pre-order in the store HERE.  The set will be on sale from now through December 31st, 2017 and Whimsy Stamps will generously donate ALL proceeds from the sale of each set to our local Southwest Florida charities to aide in disaster relief efforts.

This set is available to purchase as a pre-order now for $14US and will begin shipping in mid October.

Here is my card made using this special set

The background was made using different color Brusho powders on a damp watercolor paper. I've added sequins to embellish the card and Stickles for some bling.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thank my Lucky Stars for You

Welcome friends - Alanna here and I'm so glad you stopped by today. I have a fun card to share with you today using stamps and dies from Whimsy Stamps along with some Color Burst powders.

I first started by working on the colored portion of the background. To achieve this effect, I spritzed my water color card stock with water and then added the powders on. When these powders come into contact with water, they move on their own and you get a really cool effect. I was going for somewhat of a rainbow look here. I absolutely love how this panel turned out.

After it was dry, I stamped the stars on the background with the Basic Christmas Backgrounds stamp set from Whimsy Stamps. I then one of the dies from the Hand Stitched Borders die collection and ran that through my Big Shot on all 4 sides to add the stitching detail.

I then die cut the tag using the smaller tag from the Stitched Tags die set. The sentiment is from the Shine Bright stamp set. I added it to my card with some foam tape and then finished off the card by adding some of the Summer Breeze enamel dots from Whimsy.

And there you have it. Thanks again for dropping by today. Crafty hugs!
