Moody Monsters Birthday Card

 

 

This cute card features the "Moody Monsters" set from Whimsy Stamps.  I really love these funny little monster characters for creating an adorable 5"x 7"birthday card.  

I used the "Half-Tone Comic Stencil" with a selection of Distress Inks to create a colorful but subtle 4 3/4" x 6 3/4" background panel.  All of the little monsters were stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with my Copic markers.

The "Selfie Die Set" was used to frame three of the images.  I cut the three selfie frames from some scraps of colored cardstock from my stash.  The remaining two little monsters were cut out using the coordinating  "Moody Monsters Outline Dies" .   All of the sentiments that I added are from the "Simple Sentiment Strips" clear stamps.  After arranging all of my images on the background panel, I adhered it to my purple 5" x 7" card base.  For a bit of bling, I added a scattering of little shimmery stars from my stash.

Easter Bunnies for Easter

 

Easter is going be celebrated early this year.  With that in mind, I have been working on my cards for the occasion.  I am sharing a card today using some fun products from Whimsy Stamps.  

My card is an A6 size easel card.  The card base is (5 3/4" X "9") scored and folded at 4 1/2".   I used my easy tape to mask off a border on the front of my card.  I used "Salvaged Patina" Distress Ink to add some light coloring. Then using this same ink I stamped the "Meshy Mesh" cling background over the front of my card before removing my masking tape.  Once the front of my card was inked and stamped, I scored the front of the card at 2 1/4".

Using my copic markers I color two of the sweet bunny images from the "Easter Bunnies" set from Whimsy Stamps.  This set has both an Outline Die and the wonderful new No Fuss Masks available.  If you haven't tried the No Fuss Masks, I would highly recommend them.  After coloring the image on the front I was able to use these great masks to place over my colored image before adding a simple ink blended background.  I used the "Basic Stitched Oval" dies to cut around the colored panel and make a white frame.  This is added the front of the card with liquid glue placed only to the lower portion of the panel.   

On the inside of my card I used one of the sentiments that comes in the set.  To make the ledge for the easel card stop, I stacked the "Simple Sentiment Strips" 3 layers high.   I used one of the bunnies colored and die cut to add to the corner.   For embellishments I used some little hearts and clear gems from my stash.

1 Set, 3 Cards From Whimsy Stamps

 

Today I am sharing 3 different cards I created using a very cute "Lucky Leprechauns" set from Whimsy Stamps.  These adorable images were just so much fun to color and bring to life.  I couldn't make just one!

For this first one I colored the image panel using my copics.  I stamped the small shamrocks from the set to frame and add accents.  The sentiment is a combination of "Happy Large Word" die and "Happy Sayings" clear stamp set for the sub-sentiment. 

My second card is a shaker card.  It was easy to make using the "Notched Rectangle & Ticket" dies.  I just cut the leprechaun image out with the smaller die from the set and used largest die to create a frame for the shaker.  The shaker bits were from glittery green sequins and micro beads in my stash.  It is a fun way to use those bits that have been in my stash for years.

I think this 3rd card is my personal favorite.  I love this little smiling leprechaun leaning on his pot of gold.  He was in need of the rainbow from the "Array of Rainbows" die.  It was perfect for his rainbow and the clouds I used to add the greeting.  I used the "Comic Half-Tone" stencil to add a little interest to the background.  The "Notched Rectangle" dies were used to create the framed background.  On the inner panel I made a simple hilly background using masking and Distress Oxide inks.
