Oof – what was that?

On this card is Polka Dot Pals Fern featuring one of the faces from the Polka Dot Pals Faces set. This face is one of those wonky faces that usually works best on a boy stamp but sometimes are also fun on girl stamps too – as in this case. I decided I was going to use the squirrels from Polka Dot Pals Zachary and then give her the most scrunched up face that I could. Did it work? This was one of the images I colored Live on Facebook.

Polka Dot Pals Fern is now available as a pre-order! Orders will be shipping early next week.

I’m not sure if I’m the only one but when I die cut shapes, I usually like to die cut the whole set – that is for sets that I don’t need to cut apart, I usually keep them together and then use them all at once. This way I have some left over and that’s what this card was all about. With three little Party Animal Balloons sitting on the desk, how could I not use them?! So I whipped out a few colors and put this card together featuring other stamps, dies and papers from Whimsy Stamps.

Autumn Vibes – Take II

September 2, 2022 ~ sproatmeyer ~ 1 Comment

After posting my card this morning, I looked at the photo and felt that something was missing. So I decided to add a sentiment and something bold at the top for balance. So I added HAPPY using AlFadoodles Alphabet and the Bold ABC dies. So what do you think? Better, the same or worse?

Those autumn vibes

I wasn’t sure I was ready for autumn to happen yet but I’m digging these autumn colors that I used! Maybe it’s the orange and the change from the cool green colors to the vibrant oranges. I don’t for sure but the combination of Autumn Vibes and the Build-a-Pumpkin Patch has been so fun to use! So Happy Fall Y’all!

I’ll be taking a break from showing Polka Dot Pals Fern to bring you some fall y’all! This cute stamp set was released today and she’s not the only new items available in the Whimsy Stamps mini release. It’s Autumn Vibes and I must say that I don’t see very many female scarecrows so this was super fun to have. She had to be the first one that I colored! I had fun combining her with the Build-a-Pumpkin Patch to create this fun autumn scene.
