There Is Wonderful Joy Ahead w/Whimsy Stamps

Getting new crafting products is always exciting!  Not that I (or most of us) truly "need" anything else to add to our ever-growing collection, but it's fun nonetheless.  I saw an Instagram Reel recently where someone was using the super cool Tim Holtz Watercolor Pencils, and I just "had to" have them.  This card pairs the use of my new watercolor pencils with some fun products from Whimsy Stamps.

I used white watercolor paper and stamped the background using the Vintage Script Background Stamp in Fossilized Amber and & Spiced Marmalade Watercolor Pencils.  I also used the Distressed Backgrounds & Inksplats Stamp Set to add more color and some watercolor images by incorporating some Vintage Photo color.  I used two sizes of inner frames from the Mix & Match Scalloped Rectangle Frame Dies.

I added some Solid Yellow, Solid Pumpkin and Solid Brown Baker's Twine to create my bow.  I raised up the layers with 3-D Foam Tabs.  The base layer is also stamped in Vintage Photo using the Vintage Script Background Stamp.  I like how the Watercolor Pencils give the stamping a wet smudgy look.  I'm having fun playing with them.

Happy crafting,

God Will Never Leave You

I've been having so much FUN since joining the InstaPinners Design Team with Whimsy Stamps.  Not only am I trying to learn more about Instagram and Pinterest, but I also just enjoy creating cards using their amazing stamps and die-cuts.  Whimsy Stamps carried SO many fabulous A2 Dies to create a perfectly sized background for your cards.  That's always a great starting place, right?

Once I cut the card base from basic white cardstock using the A2 Lattice Die, I used one of the inside rectangles from the Mix & Match Scalloped Stitched Rectangle Frames Dies as the focal point for my sentiment,  I rubbed the white rectangle with Spun Sugar Oxide Ink and then stamped it in various pink inks using the Paint Brush Strokes Stamp Set and then the Stained Glass Scriptures Stamp Set for the sentiment.

Pretty simple really, isn't it?  I wrapped some Solid Pink Baker's Twine around my card and added a small Pink Sweetheart Blossom.  My plan is to create a few more matching cards for this lovely set.  You can get super fancy with your cards, or you can be very simple with your cards.  Whimsy Stamps has the perfect products for every project you can imagine.

You can find so much great Whimsy Stamps inspiration on social media.  In fact, I'd be thrilled to have you come follow me on Instagram and Pinterest.  I need all the help that I can get.  Thanks again for taking time to visit me here today.  I appreciate you very much and I wish you all a very blessed and creative week.

I'm sharing my card in the following:
