WOW! Embossing Powder & Whimsy Stamps Collaboration Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the WOW! Embossing Powder and Whimsy Stamps collaboration blog hop. It was so much fun combining the products from both the companies. 

You should have come here from Lori U’ren's blog. If not start at the WOW! Embossing Powder blog.

  I have two cards for you today :)

Card 1 - I started by using the  leaves from the Layered Peruvian Lily to create the background. I stamped the leaves in WOW! slow drying ink and embossed using the Montserrat, Dominica embossing powders. I then tore a vellum stripe to ground the word SMILE. For that I used the Smile Word Die, applied the slow drying ink and embossed it using Black Magic embossing powder. I repeated the process 2 more times so that we get some dimension to the word. Adhere the word to the stripe. Mat this layer with black cardstock and adhere to a white cardbase.

Love the effect :)

For my next card, I created a background wash using green watercolor, let it dry and flick some gold ink to it. I then die-cut the word SMILE and embossed it the same way as my first card. Now, I stamped and embossed the flower and the leaves using  Black Glint and Lime Rickey embossing powders. 

I then die-cut 2 circle frames using circle dies and adhere it to the card and embossed one of the circle using Pink Sherbert embossing powder. I then applied a light wash of pink color to the flower and created the cluster. Assemble the card.

Love the glitter of the Lime Rickey embossing powder.

Gorgeous Flower and the word SMILE.

Whimsy Stamps: Guest Designer

Hello everyone! I am so thrilled to be a special guest for Whimsy Stamps today. Thank you Debbie for having me. I love their cute and adorable images so much and I am sharing two cards with you today :)

For my first card, I used the cute and adorable "Eleanor", stamped it on neenah solar white cardstock, simply colored in with copics. Applied some glitter and fluffy paste.

Here is a close-up to see all the texture and subtle shine.

For my 2nd. card, I used "Penguin Christmas Tree and Meowy Kittymas" stamps. This time I colored in the image using watercolors. I stamped and embossed the sentiment on vellum as I wanted to keep the focus of my card on this cute image :)

You can see the texture, gloss in the close-up photo.

Fun, Right!! I really enjoyed creating with these images. Here are the stamps I used.

  

Thank you for stopping by! Have a nice day :)

Whimsy Stamps Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Day 2 of the Whimsy Stamps clear stamps and dies release Blog Hop! 

Today I am featuring this cute and adorable stamp "Into the Woods clear stamp set" and "Woodland Critters" die set.

First I was thinking of making a shaker card but the matching dies took me in a different direction. I did a partial die-cutting technique for my card. 

I die-cut a frame and then to get this dimension, depth, I simply stamped the tree trunk, leaves and florals. Then I sponged some ink. To mute the background a bit, I adhered a layer of vellum and embossed  the sentiment  onto it. I partially die-cut the deer and the rabbit and then cut the hill...it's more clear in the close up. Then I stamped the images onto it. I then sponged some ink for the grass and adhered 2 mushrooms onto this panel. I then used some 3D foam and adhered this panel onto the cardbase. Finally, I used a bit thicker 3d foam and adhered it onto the cardbase.

 These 4 new clear stamp sets and 2 die sets are on sale in the store right now! 

Also, there's a chance to WIN a $15 gift certificate to the Whimsy Store today and all you have to do is leave a comment on each and every one of the blog hop participants.  So check out the amazing creations using some of the new clear stamp release sets! Below is the list of all the participants:
