Whimsy Stamps - Caveman Zog

Hey!   I am popping in to share another Caveman Zog card from Whimsy Stamps.   This is totally going to be a birthday card for my Hubby!    


I stamped and colored the images with my Copic markers.   I trimmed them out with my Scan and Cut.   



I layered the images onto a negative piece of black cardstock.   I used the Inlaid Bubbles die the other day and this was left over.  I stamped it with the new Zebra Striped Mini Background stamp and embossed with clear ink.  


  

I stamped my sentiment directly onto a white cardbase and that is it!    


Thank you for stopping by today.   Be sure to check out the new mini release from Whimsy Stamps.

Club La-La Land Crafts July Monthly Kit - More Inspiration!

Welcome back to more inspiration with the July Club La-La Land Crafts Monthly Kit!   I have had so much fun with this month's kit.  I had a little inspiration for my designs today, a bag of animal crackers!!!!  When I saw them I knew that somehow I needed to incorporate them into this month's kit.  I thought of a few ideas but ended up doing a tag.  This bag needs to be mailed to a certain little someone.  Don't worry - I kept a bag for myself.   I have not had these in years and they are so good.  

On to my inspiration and project!  



I went with the colors in the bag and the background of the safari scene.  You can't see the design behind the tag but I incorporated it into the picture frame.   I loved the bright and lemony yellow background and used the Safari Skyline Borders to create the background - using only cardstock!   





I imagine when you go on a safari you take a lot of pictures, do I decided to use the Photo Elements die.   I created a tag for the cookie bag.   I colored two of the apes from Ape For You stamp set and colored them with my Copics: 

W1, W3, W5, E50, E51, E53, R20





I layered in the Safari Truck and Tropical Leaves.   I used the Double Stitched Circle die to stamp my sentiment onto and then added to the tag.   I added all of this to a Large Stitched Tag.   I added a few rhinestones and added a red and white ribbon.   


Next up, I created a 5 x 7 inch card using both Safari Marci and Ape About You stamp sets!  

I started by extending the die cut for a Scalloped Rectangle die to ensure that the panel went across the card.   I tilted it slightly since the distance between the top and sides is not the same.   I used the So Many Dots Layering Stencils and Moonstone Nuvo Glitter paste and covered the leafy green cardstock and set aside to dry.   




Next, I created another Photo Element die cut and used the Safari Skyline Border dies to create the inside of the photo.   I added some of my colored Apes, stamped a sentiment from Safari Marci.  I added some varied green Tropical Leaves.




I added the Safari Truck along with one of the apes.   I colored Marci and gave her a Leopard print hat and shirt!   This is my first time coloring an animal print - pretty cool!  Here are the Copics that I used to color Safari Marci and the apes:

Skin E000, E00, E21, E11, R20, R85
Hair E50, E42, E43
Shirt Y21, YR21, W8, E15
Shorts & Vest E30, E31, E33
Boots E40, E41, E42
Hat YR21, Y21, W8, E15, E35, E33, E31
Ape W1, W3, W5, E50, E51, E53, R20

Whimsy Stamps - Mini Release - Caveman Zog

I have another mini release from Whimsy Stamps!   Today,  I am share a card made with a new stamp and die set that is out today.   I have this card made with the new Caveman Zog stamp set and the Inlaid Bubbles die.    



This is a 4.5 square card.   I stamped my images out and then trimmed them out with my Scan and Cut.  I colored with my Copic markers and added them in layers to the card panel.  



The card panel is made with the new Inlaid Bubbles Die set.   This is such a cool set.  I have a picture below to show you all the dies that come with this set.   I used the two largest dies and one of the small bubbles for my card.  




There are 7 dies in the stamp set.   2 of the dies do not cut but put impressions on your project, they are highlighted in green. 


I think this card is perfect for my husband!   I am going to save it for his birthday!

Whimsy Stamps - Giraffes Peeking

Hello!  I am sharing this super cute card I made with the Whimsy Stamps Giraffes Peeking stamp set.  This set is just so adorable!  I just love the looks on the faces of the giraffes.   



I used the new Slimline Pillow Die to create my card panel.   I die cut it from green card stock and then mounted it to a white card base.   



I added a sentiment using the Comic Speech Bubbles die set.   



For the card base, I inked the background with the Comic Half-Tone Stencil with some light blue ink.  



The flowers are from the No See All Seasons Tree die set with some Nuvo drops in the center.   I added some details with my white gel pen. 

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Club La-La Land Crafts July Kit Reveal!

It's time for the Club La-La Land Crafts Monthly Club kit reveal!  


First up, I have this slimline design card using the two stamp sets and die sets.   I stamped the Safari Marci and Ape About You stamps onto white cardstock and colored with my Copic Markers: 

Marci Skin E000, E00, E21, E11, R20, RV15
Hair YR24, YR21
Shirt E50, E51, E53
Vest G46, G43, G40
Pants/Hat E44, E43, E42, G46, G43
Boots E23, E25, E27
Socks G46, G43
Water Bottle B93, B95, B97
Monkey E44, E43, E42, E50, E51, E53, R20




My slimline panel was inked with Salty Ocean, Blueprint Sketch and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide inks.  To create my card scene, I die cut two panels of black cardstock and kraft card stock with the Safari Skyline Border.  I stamped the kraft panels with the Simple Joys Background stamp in brown ink.  I die cut the moon and birds as well and then layered onto the card panel with liquid adhesive.  




The sentiment is from Safari Marci and was stamped and white heat embossed onto black cardstock and trimmed down.   I added to the top of the panel with foam tape.   Next I die cut the Safari truck die with dark green, light blue and grey cardstock.   I doubled up on the dark green and grey pieces when I assembled the truck.   This made the die cut twice as thick.  I inlaid the blue and grey pieces into the truck body.   I adhered this to the panel with foam tape.  




I die cut three leave, two from dark green cardstock and one from kraft cardstock using the Tropical Leaves die.  I adhered Marci to the panel with foam tape and then layered the leaves around her with foam tape.   I added the first ape beside Marci and adhered with liquid adhesive.   I then added the second ape from Ape About You to the top of the Safari Truck with foam tape.   I added some crystal jewels for a final touch of sparkle.   





For my second card, this card is an A2 sized card.  I stamped a light blue panel with the Your Kindness Background Stamp and light blue ink. I then die cut this panel and die a little die extension (partial die cutting) to have the Scalloped Rectangle die cut go across the entire white card base.   





I die cut the Safari Skyline Border from black and kraft cardstock.   I stamped the kraft panel with the Simple Joys Background Stamp set and brown ink.   I die cut the Safari Truck die from kraft, light blue and grey cardstock.   I doubled up the die cuts and layered together just like in the card above.  



I die cut several leaves from the Tropical Leaves die and then coated several with adhesive and added glitter to the leaves.   I then layered these onto the panel with liquid adhesive.  I stamped my images from Ape About You and colored with my Copic markers: 

Monkey E41, E42, E43, E50, E51, R53, R20

I stamped the sentiment from Ape About You onto a die cut rectangle from the Curved Pocket Die.  I finished off the card with some crystal jewels.

Whimsy Stamps and Therm O Web Collaboration Day 4






It's Tricia here today to share with you more with Whimsy Stamps and Therm O Web Collaboration!   We have a fabulous week of inspiration and prizes! Be sure to visit both blogs all week to enter to win and be inspired by products from Whimsy Stamps and Therm O Web!

I am sharing two cards that I made with the amazing Rina K Designs Neon Pop Glitz Glitter Gels for my projects today: Hello Yellow, Screamin' Green, Orange Glow and Poppin' Pink!  I had so much fun playing with these Glitz Glitter Gels and Whimsy Stencils!  




For my first project, I used the Tiger Stripes stencil and black cardstock.   I used the Orange Glow and Hello Yellow Neon Pop Glitz Glitter Gels.   These are so cool!   They change colors depending on how the light hits the cardstock!   They also feel like they glow!  




I stamped the Space Dragon and trimmed it out with my Scan and Cut.   I then colored it with my Copic Markers.   I added details with a white gel pen and some crystal glaze around the helmet.   



 I used the Burst Background Stamp and stamped black ink onto a grey card base.   I then trimmed my stenciled panel with the Pierced and Stitched Circle Die set.   I thought it looked cool as a planet!  I added a sentiment from another stamp set called Fishing Dragon.  For a final touch, I added some crystal clear sequins. 








For my main image, I used the Unicorn Sparkle Stamp set and colored it with Copic markers and then cut it out with my Scan and Cut.   I added some crystal liquid to the centers of the flowers and then added some iridescent glitter.  You can't have too much sparkle with a card like this!  





I used the Star Galaxy Stencil from Whimsy Stamps.  Look at at sparkle!   I die cut with the FaDoodles Frames Scalloped Rectangle die set.   I die cut the panel with the Pierced and Stitched Circle die set.   to finish it off, I used the Quick Strip Die set and stamped a sentiment from Penguin Poop stamp set.    



 Now for the fun stuff!

SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge - Stuck On You

Hello!  I am playing along today with the SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge!   This month I am using the color inspiration for my card.   I pulled out an oldie but a goodie stamp set called Stuck On You.  This is one of my favorites.   I love that you can build your own with these. 




I used Distress Oxide inks to create a soft color - Milled Lavender, Shaded Lilac, Wilted Violet, Twisted Citron, Tea Dye and Rusty Hinge.  I stamped out Stuck On You and then die cut them out with the matching Stuck On You SugarCut.   



I die cut a light grey cardstock panel with the Card Front Element Builder SugarCut and then taped off one edge with Post It Tape.  I then ink blended with light grey ink with the Geo Tri Hex Stencil.   Once it was dry, I then stamped and embossed a sentiment from the Stuck On You stamp set.   





I popped up my images with foam tape and added some Nuvo drops for a final touch.
