Paperie Ink - Happy Birthday

Good morning!  Today I'm sharing a card using a stamp set from the Paperie Ink etsy shop. 


These sweet pandas are from a new stamp set called Panda Expressions.  There are lots of adorable pandas in this set, along with speech bubbles and tons of sentiments to stamp in the bubbles.  The balloon, party hat, and cupcakes are from the Happy Bird Day stamp set.  I diecut a piece of Bristol card with a stitched rectangle die and blended Picked Raspberry and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Inks.  I spattered water on the panel and adhered the Happy Birthday diecut.    I colored the images with copics markers and used a white gel pen to add polka-dots to the party hat.  I adhered all the images with foam tape to add some dimension to my card.

Whimsy Guest Designer - Tweetie Pie

Good morning friends!  I'm back with another guest project for Whimsy Stamps!


Today I'm using the Tweetie Pie clear stamps and the Slimline Windows Die to make a fun birthday card.  I love how versatile this stamp set is.  Not only can you use it for holiday cards, but it's also perfect for winter cards too!  I used a blending brush to add Peacock Feathers and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide Inks to a piece of Bristol card.  I spattered it with water and white acrylic paint.  Once it was dry, I stamped the sentiment and musical notes with Versafine Onyx Black Ink.  I used the Slimline Windows Die to cut a frame from white cardstock and adhered the frame to the inked Bristol using foam tape.  I adhered this piece to my card base which measures 3 1/2" x 8 1/2".


I stamped all the birds on Neenah cardstock, colored them with copics, and fussy-cut them.  I used a black glaze pen on the birds' eyes and used a Wink of Stella clear glitter pen on the snow on the tree branch for a bit of sparkle.  I used 3D Foam Squares to adhere the birds to my card and then added a few clear sequins for some more sparkle.


I want to thank the Whimsy team for inviting me to be a guest this month - it was so much fun!  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Hugs, Anita

Whimsy Guest Designer - You're So Sweet

Good morning friends.  I'm so excited to be guest designing for Whimsy Stamps today!  They have amazing stamps, dies, and other products perfect for cardmaking. 


Today I'm using the Candy Mouse clear stamp, Starring Hearts 6x6 Paper Pack, and the Wavy Edgers Die Set.  I used a blending brush to add Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink to the base of my card.  I used a die from the Wavy Edgers Die to cut a piece of paper from the Starring Hearts 6x6 Paper Pack and I adhered that to the top of my card.  I used Versafine Onyx Black Ink to stamp a sentiment from the stamp set.  



I stamped the image on Neenah cardstock and colored it with copic markers.  I fussy-cut the image and used a white gel pen to add some highlights.  I used a black glaze pen on the mouse's eyes and I added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the mouse's nose and teeth, and also to some of the candies.  I used 3D Foam Squares to adhere the mouse to my card.

Copics Used:
Mouse - C5, C3, C1; E04, E02, E01, E00, E000; B000; 100
Sweets - R59, R37, R35; R32, R30, R01; E43, E42, E41, E40; E29, E25, E23; C3, C1


I love this adorable image!  Not only is it perfect to make Valentine's cards but it can be used for other occasions too.  This would be such a sweet card to send as a thank you or birthday card, or to simply let someone know that you're thinking of them!

We BEE-Long Together

Good morning!  Today I'm sharing a card using a new stamp set from the Paperie Ink etsy shop. 


These adorable bees are from a new stamp set called Hap Bee.  I used this same stamp set to make another card yesterday.  If you missed it, you can check it out here.  I love this stamp set and it can be used for so many different occasions!  I placed a honeycomb stencil on white cardstock and used a blending brush to apply Wild Honey Distress Oxide Ink over the stencil.  I wanted it darker in the center and fading out into white on the outer edges.  I diecut a heart and also applied the Wild Honey Distress Oxide Ink over the heart.  I glued a sheet of acetate behind the heart and applied foam tape to create a shaker window.  I stamped the "flight lines" and sentiment on my card and then added some sequins in the area where I was placing the shaker window.  I removed the release paper from the foam tape and adhered the shaker window onto the card base.  I stamped the bees on Neenah cardstock, diecut them with my ScanNCut, and colored them with copics.  I used a black glaze pen on their antennae and the bee's eyes.  I used a Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen on their wings for some sparkle.  Lastly, I adhered the bees onto the shaker window.  Stop by the Paperie Ink Etsy Shop and check out her stamps!  Sherry has a new release and she offers free shipping!
