Whimsy Stamps - Happy New Year 2025

Hello and happy new year!  Hope you had fun ringing in the new year last night.  I’m kicking the new year off with, of course, a new year’s mini slimline card using products from Whimsy Stamps (WS).


The snowman from Birthday Cool was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on X-Press It paper then coloured with Copic Sketch markers.  I messed up colouring the hat/scarf, so they were re-stamped/re-coloured to piece back.  A white gel pen was used to cover the hearts on the original image to be replaced with “happy new year” from Simple Sentiment Strip Holidays, which was white heat embossed on black. Finally, the whole image was fussy cut out.

Copic markers used:
reds - R05/27/39 
yellows - Y11/15, YR24
oranges - YR02/07/27 
shading CP0/1/2/3, 0


The numbers from Make a Wish die set were die cut from white and the balloon detail removed.  Ombré ink blended them with Lumberjack Plaid and Black Soot distress inks.  For some sparkle, covered them with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with clear glitter embossing powder.  Trimmed a piece of Champagne slimline pattern paper to mini slimline size (3.25x6.25-inches) then assembled the card onto a mini slimline card base to finish. 


WS products used for my card are linked below.  Thank you for stopping by.
