2 Birthday Cards using the Big Balloon Celebration Stamps and Dies

Happy Friday friends. I'm happy to be up on the Whimsy blog today sharing a couple of cards using new products from the latest Whimsy Stamps release for today's cards.

For my first card, I started by die cutting two of the balloons from the brand new Big Balloon Celebrations die set out of some masking paper. I then used those as a stencil so I could blend in some inks. After my blending was done, I stamped the sentiment from the Big Balloon Celebrations stamp set onto my card panel and the balloon strings. I then took the card panel and ran it through my Big Shot with the largest of the Hand Stitched Nested Rectangle dies. I love that this die cuts an A2 size -- such a nice finishing detail.

I added some sparkling clear sequins and the card was finished.

For my second card today, I started by die cutting the balloons from the Big Balloon Celebrations die collection and then doing some ink blending. As I will sometimes do on an ink blended background, I gave the balloons a spritz of water to pick up some of the ink. I then stamped the sentiment from the coordinating stamp set. I also stamped the balloon strings and rounded the bottom corners. 

Thanks for your visit today. I hope you've been inspired to take a look at your dies and perhaps use them in a way that they necessarily weren't intended like I did on the first card. Crafty hugs!

Make a Background With The Snow Flakes Dies

Good morning everyone!!! It's Ellen here with a colorful project featuring Whimsy Stamps items. First made a background with the "Snow Flakes" dies. Below you can see how I did that:

 

To make the background you first merge the ink from light to dark. After you blended all colors you sprinkle the paper with water drops. Than you die cut 2 times each size from the snow flakes and place it on your square. After that it's time to glue it down with some liquid glue.

 

The sentiment from the "Scripty Occasions" was embossed on a banner from the "Many Thanks" die set. Some twine and pretty glitter "Winter Wishes" enamel dot's made the card gorgeous.

Here you can see a close up:
