National Police Week 2018

For Police Week 2018 I've created this card using the NEW Heroes stamp set and Star Dangle stencil .

To start out with I die cut white cardstock with the largest frame from the Rectangle Shaker Maker (love that die set!).

I used the Star Dangle stencil and sponged on some blue ink for the background. 

I stamped the police cap from the Heroes set with Memento ink and colored it with my Copic Markers.  The sentiment was stamped with Versafine black ink for a nice crisp image.

The HEROES stamp set honors all law enforcement and firefighters too, it's a great stamp set to make cards for those who serve us so selflessly.

Wishing You A Rainbow of Happiness

Good Morning and welcome to my monthly inspiration post. For this month'#s project I have used the  gorgeous Unicorn Framed and a sentiment from the Big Wishes Sentiments set. I opted for a pinky-purple and grey combo and love these colours together. They look so elegant!

I just love all the different unicorn and fairy stamps being released at the moment and just wish I had more time to play with them all. Which ones are your favourites?

You can read more about this card on my blogpost tomorrow, including the Copic colours I have used to colour it in. 

Hugs Bunny - Special Guest - Anita Madden

Hello friends, I'm here today with another guest designer card for Whimsy Stamps.

These sweet images are from the Hugs Bunny stamp set.  These stamps could be used for so many different occasions ... I think it would be perfect to make a Father's Day card, which is just around the corner.  But I've used it to make a card that you could send to anyone just to let them know you're thinking of them.  I stamped the bear and bunny on Neenah cardstock and colored them with copics.  I used the Gingham Background stamp to create the pretty pattern on the bottom and then sponged some ink on the top of the card also.  I used a black glaze pen on the bear's and bunny's noses and applied Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen on the hearts. 

Copics Used:

Bear - E31, E30, E50, R20, R30

Bunny - W2, W1, W0, R20, R30

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs, Anita

We go together like rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong

Hey there lovely Whimsy Stamps fans. I hope you've been having a good week. Today is my gorgeous boy Zac's 8th birthday. So I'm in a party mood!! I've actually already made his birthday card, but it didn't stop me colouring up this gorgeous Llama, full of party drama! Such a fun image don't ya think? I've coloured this awesome Krista Heij-Barber image called Llama Birthday with my Alcohol Markers as I wanted bright cheery colours for this creation and nothing quite 'pops' like alcohol ink. Remember you can now buy your Copic Markers right here at Whimsy Stamps.

We have some awesome new digital papers this month, and I've used the red and yellow toned paper from the Stripe Papers set to mat this fun Llama image. You only see a hint of this lovely paper top and bottom, but I think it's the perfect finish to set up this festive image. I've added it to a zingy bright orange card base that has a lovely sheen to it. 

The only 'embellishment' I added to this festive card was some musical notes to hint that the Llama Llama Birthday sentiment is a fun party song. While I was colouring this in, I had that song from the film Grease 'We Go Together' running through my head, as it has all sorts of fun nonsense lyrics in it... "We go together like rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong", talk about a blast from the past! But it so gave me a giggle while I was working on this card. 

I hope you were inspired by this festive creation and I encourage you to go and check out the rest of the amazing new releases at Whimsy Stamps. The May releases are fabulous and I've had so much fun colouring these past few days. Be sure to check out more fabulous Whimsy Stamps creations on our Facebook page.
