Pony Presents

It's Day 2 of the new release in the Whimsy Digital Shop!

I hope you have been enjoying the inspiration shared by the super talented Whimsy design team so far! 

My card for the new release features "Pony Presents". I am a horse lover through and through ....okay animals period but horses are at the top of the list. I also have lots of horsey friends so when I saw this image I knew it would make a perfect Birthday card for one of them. 

I printed this cutie off to the size I wanted and coloured it with a combination of Copic and Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. I added some "dapple" spots to his bum just for fun! Clear spectrum sparkle pen was added to the hat tassel and the bow for a bit of bling. I love the vertical sentiment and have been waiting for a chance to use it - I thought this layout was perfect for it. A heart banner, twine and some matching enamel dots finish off my card.

Over The Moon

Welcome to Day 2 of the April new release in the Whimsy Digital Shop.

This release is full of so many fun images it was hard to decide which one to use! I chose to make my card with "Over The Moon". This stamp has so many possibilities! How cute would this be on a new baby card - the nursery rhyme pops into my head

I started by printing off my stamp to the size I wanted and  colouring it with alcohol markers. I cut it out using a classic circle die and then used a stitch mark die to add the stitches and added it to a lacey circle die cut. 

I sized and printed my sentiment and used a matching stitch oval die to cut it out and mounted it on cardstock. Matching paper was cut out using a fishtail banner die and some ribbon and enamel dots finish off my card.

Spring Jelly Bean

 Welcome to Day 3 of the March new release in the Whimsy Digital Shop.

The card I have to share with you today features Jelly Bean's Flower. How cute is this elephant watering his flower! I have also used new digital paper from the Vintage Wood and Pink Pop collections. 

I started by printing off my stamp to the size I wanted and  colouring it with alcohol markers. Some white polka dots were added to his hat and a sparkle pen was added to the middle of the flower and the butterfly. 

A banner die gave me the perfect back drop for this cutie. The sentiment is from the Spring Sentiment Mix. I added a new die I purchased recently called Honeycomb pattern die from Whimsy stamps. I love the texture and element of fun it adds to a card. A few sparkly enamel dots finish off my card.

My Heart

 Have you browsed all the new releases for February in the Whimsy Digital shop yet? So many fun images, new paper and sentiments galore - I have had way to much fun playing with all of these things! 

Today I would like to introduce to "Courageous Carl". I have used digital paper from the April Showers and Soft Spring Greens collections and a sentiment from Vintage Sentiments.

After printing my stamp I coloured it with alcohol markers and fussy cut it out leaving a thin white border. Carl is popped up with 3D pop dots just for fun.  The background sky was created with ink and a cloud die cut. My "grass" was cut using a stitched hills die and my white picket fence was added. 

I printed the sentiment directly on my patterned paper, added some ribbon and a few matte dots to finish it off.

My Valentine

              Welcome to the February Digital release Whimsy Fans!

I don't usually make Valentine's Day cards to be honest but when I saw "Penguin Valentine" I knew I needed to make one! How seriously cute is this?! I think this stamp could be used for so many card types - a hello to friend, congratulations on an engagement.....the list goes on! 

I wanted to find a way to have an envelope type theme to my card so I decided to make a criss cross card.

Both Together

I started by colouring my stamp with alcohol markers and then cut out my image using a classic circle die. I added some die cut hearts and used a black marker to add a dot in between them. 

My sentiments were chosen and printed out - I need to work on my centering  

A cute pink bow finishes off my criss cross card.
