Animal Tiles Across the Pond from Whimsy Stamps

July 12, 2021July 3, 2021 ~ sproatmeyer ~ 1 Comment

How about some birthday cards using the Animal Tiles – Across the Pond? I wanted to go for a sweet and simple card so I only used two of the tiles. Then for the sentiments, I pulled in the Make a Wish Clear Stamps with coordinating dies, all from Whimsy Stamps. I thought those tiles would be the star of the show, but for me, it’s the Mylar balloons that steels the show. With a little patience, it was just a matter of using a Google reference photos – after all, there a a gazillion numbered Mylar balloons out there.

Behind the Animal Tiles – Across the Pond, I used a stamp from the Doodle Frames set. Those stars and fireworks are accessory stamps from the Make a Wish Clear Stamps so it was nice to have those already handy to use. Even though this is done on a kraft card stock, I think the colors make it bright enough for a cheery birthday card. Would you agree?

On a Roll from Whimsy Stamps

July 9, 2021July 9, 2021 ~ sproatmeyer ~ Leave a comment

I’m excited to share a new release from Whimsy Stamps featuring Dustin Pike’s fun animal characters. This is On a Roll and I colored two of the three animals from the set – so all together you have the giraffe, flamingo and panda. I was also able to use a great combination of tools to create this card including the Awesome Large Word die and Twinkle stencil. To try and keep the card simple, I layered it on a card front with a colored layer in-between. I think these two look like they’re having so much fun and I wish I was following them on my bike. 😉

Mason Atlas Jar Die from Whimsy Stamps

July 5, 2021July 3, 2021 ~ sproatmeyer ~ 1 Comment

I was looking for something to do with the small Mason Atlas Jar Die and came up with this quick shaker cared. To start with, I was inspired by the Sprinkletz Firecrackers shaker elements and knew I could use those in the jar. So I stamped up the Atlas Jar twice and cut them out – once with the window and once without. I also stamped the key and then cut it out after I colored it.

The sentiment was created using the SMILING word from Polka Dot Pals Faces and then the BIG from the Big Hugs Word Die set. The rest of the card was straight forward with layers of paper and foam dots. This was quick and simple with minimal coloring. Happy 4th of July!

Duck, duck, goose! I wanted to create this card using the duck from the new set Animal Tiles – Across the Pond from Whimsy Stamps. I repeated it three times then colored two as ducks and the third as a goose. Then I chose two sentiments from amongst the Polka Dot Pals stamps and created this scene. This reminded me of the Ugly Duckling story as well so without actually having a swan, I thought it was still a great message to be different and uniquely you.

The rest of the card was created with stencils. I used the Sun Rays Stencil in yellow then for the water, I used a cloud stencil and three different blues. Then the final touches was to layer it on the card front and add glue on the half-circle embellishments. This was a quick card for me and I really liked how I only needed one animal stamp to use.

Animal Tiles – Pond Series from Whimsy Stamps

July 2, 2021July 3, 2021 ~ sproatmeyer ~ Leave a comment

I’m excited to share my second card using the new Animal Tiles – Across the Pond set that was released yesterday. I predict this is going to be a hot item and I’ve already seen so many different ways to use it. Plus, I’ll spill the beans to say the second set in this series is a-dor-a-ble too! I can’t wait for that one to be released. Anyway, back to this set – I’ve used Animal Tiles – Across the Pond to create a fun slimline card.

The slimline card format will take 2 rows of tiles that are 6 tiles long but for my card I decided I was going to include some sentiments. So I used the Animal Tiles – Across the Pond to create a single row in the middle then I pulled in a bunch of sentiments from the Polka Dot Pals and other stamps to create this sentiment: Lookin’ magnificent from across the pond. See the list below for those sets. I thought this would be a perfect card to send to someone over the ocean.

Stamps:
Animal Tiles – Across the Pond (includes ACROSS THE POND words)
Polka Dot Pals Faces (for FROM word)
Polka Dot Pals Leland (for LOOKIN’ word)
