Whimsy Stamps - Loads of Luck

Hello there.  I have a simple St. Patrick’s Day-inspired punny card to share today using products from Whimsy Stamps (WS). 

The truck from Loads of Love was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a scrap of X-Press It paper, coloured with Copic Sketch markers then fussy cut out.  The Malarkey Word die set clovers and the Mix and Mingle Alphabet letters for the sentiment were die cut from lime green cardstock and ink blended with various green dye inks.  

A Wonky Stitched Rectangle panel was die cut from Bristol paper next then ink blended with Twisted Citron distress ink for the background.  Assembled and adhered the elements onto the panel befoie stamped “sending”  from Raccoon Happy Day with Mowed Lawn distress oxide ink.  The truck “floating” on the panel was wrong, so shading was added beneath with Copic Sketch markers to finish.

Guest Designer for Colorful Options April 2025 Challenge - Pastels

Hello there.  I’m delighted to be guest designing at Colorful Options (CO) for their April 2025 challenge   PASTELS… or a rainbow is always an alternative option. 

Spring is in the Air… at least in the northern hemisphere. 😉  So I decided to do both and created a simple pastel rainbow card using Whimsy Stamps (WS) products.

Thee rainbow and clouds were die cut from Bristol paper then ink blended with distress inks (DI).  Tge Pierced and Stitched Circles die set was used for the rainbow. 

DI used:

pinks - Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry 

yellows + Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber 

greens - Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn 

blues - Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean 

purples - Shaded Lilac, Wilted Violet 

clouds - Lost Shadow 

For some sparkle, the rainbow and clouds were spritz with a clear shimmer spray.  It’s a shame the photo doesn’t pick up the pretty shimmer.  The sentiment was heat embossed with silver  embossing powder on an A2 size Bristol panel.  Adhered the rainbow and clouds, then stencilled the Twinkle Clusters with the inks remaining on the detailed brushes to finish.

Just A Note To Say

Hello there.  Taking a brief break from Christmas cards today to share a super easy thank you card that was commissioned for a piano teacher.

*affiliate links used in this post when possible at no extra cost to you*

The piano keys were created with strips of paper trimmed from black and white scraps.  The alcohol ink background is Inked Oasis pattern paper from Pink and Main.  

The Musical Notes (retired My Favorite Things) were die cut from black cardstock.  The sentiment (retired Poppy Stamps) was white heat embossed onto black cardstock.  Added the three dots with a white gel pen and stamped “thank you” on the inside (forgot to take a photo of it).  Assembled the card onto a split black/white card base to finish. 

And that is all for this card!  Thank you for stopping by.
