Whimsy Stamps - WOW!

Welcome to the Whimsy Stamps and WOW Blog Hop!  I have two cards to share, the first is this congratulations on your new baby card.  It uses from Whimsy Stamps the Jungle Babies Clear Set, the Pierced and Stitched Circle Die Set, Quick Strips Die Set and 6 x 6 Paper Pack- Pretty Pastels.   The WOW embossing powders used are Opaque Bright White on the watercolored green circle and the sentiment on the tag.  Opaque Primary Frozen was used to repeatedly emboss BABY on the bottom half of the patterned paper.

My next card also uses the Jungle Babies Clear Set from Whimsy Stamps plus the Leaf Foliage 2 Die Set.  Leaves were die cut from white cardstock then the tops were rubbed with VersaMark Ink with the two larger leaves being embossed with WOW Perissa Embossing Powder and the two smaller ones embossed with Earthtone Pepper Embossing Powder.

Here's a close up so you can get a better look at the embossed leaves.

Mirror Stamping- Stampendous

Hi there!  Stampendous has a new product, it's a Mirror Stamping Plate.  What you do is stamp on the clear plate (it's a bit soft), flip it over and press to make a mirror impression.

For my card I stamped the Warm Cup House-Mouse Designs image on white cardstock with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink the stamped it again on the Mirror Stamping Plate after reinking the stamp.  It was then turned over and pressed beside the first stamping.  The second image will be a tad bit lighter but once colored, you can't tell the difference!

The images were colored with Prisma Colored Pencils, the background was stenciled with the Bricks Metal Stencil with Wild Honey Distress Ink.

The ground was sponged with Tea Dye Distress Ink.

The sentiment from the Smile Sentiments Perfectly Clear Set was stamped with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide onto a strip of cardstock and popped up over the mugs.

Purple Dew Drops were randomly glued to the card.

Bunny Buddies- Whimsy Stamps

Hi everyone,  look at these sweet bunnies from the Bunny Buddies Clear Stamp Set from Whimsy Stamps, they just make me smile!
The bunnies were colored with Prisma colored pencils, cut out and glued to a circle die-cut with the Pierced and Stitched Die Set that was sponged with Spun Sugar Distress Inks.

To make the card base, decorative paper form the 6 x 6 Paper Pack- Pretty Pastels was glued to the bottom half of the card then it was die-cut using the Hand Stitched Nested Rectangles Set.
The stentiment and heart were also stamped on paper from the same set, cut out and glued to the card.

Present Card- The Stamps of Life

Have you gotten your March Card Kit from The Stamps of Life?  You still have time and it's packed full of fun products to make a bunch of birthday cards.  The only extra things I had to supply was ink, embossing powder and glue.

Here's everything you get!

Even though you will eventually run out of paper, ribbon and other goodies, you will always have the stamps and dies.  So I thought I would show you one idea of a card you could make after you run out of the paper.

To make my card I stamped all of the sentiments from the stamp set with VersaMark Ink and embossed with white embossing powder.  I then sponged the panel with Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry Distress Inks. 

To make the card look like a gift, the corners with ribbon and added a bow on the card just above the yellow banner sentiment that was stamped with Onyx Black VersaFine Ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.  The panel was glued to a white card and bling was added.

Unforgettable WindowRama

Look at this cute WindowRama card!  Stampendous has just released several Jungle Animal Stamp/Die-Sets that coordinate with the WindowRama Die Set. These fold flat to fit into a regular A2 envelope to make it easy to mail.

Here's how my card was made; 

1.  Stamp elephant and leaves with black ink and color with Prisma colored pencils, use the matching die that's included to cut out. 

2.  Use the circle leaf die to cut out green paper, set aside.

3.  Use the WindowRama Die Set to cut out the WindowRama from a thicker decorative paper. 

4.  Cut light blue cardstock with the square die and glue to the inner back part of the WindowRama and die-cut clouds from white paper using the Meadow Edgers Die Set.

5.  Randomly apply some pink Enamel Accents.

6.  Assemble all of the pieces.
