Whimsy Stamps Anything Goes

 Hi all and welcome to another week of the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

This week's challenge is Anything Goes!

We are showcasing Whimsy Stamps this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see what you make! As always just for entering you will be eligible for the the drawing of a $25 voucher to the Simon store!

I have made a fun birthday card to showcase the gorgeous Whimsy butterfly stamp set.

I made this card using an A2 size cardbase made from smooth white cardstock. I then trimmed down another panel of white cardstock to create an ink resist background. I stamped three of the butterfly images from the stamp set all over the panel using VersaMark ink and white embossing powder. I heat set that with a heat tool and let cool. I began to ink blend the embossed panel at the top left corner and worked my way down to the bottom right corner. Using a napkin, I gently wiped away ink that had been left behind on the butterfly images. I then die cut the happy birthday and streamers and added them to the card with foam adhesive.

I hope you enjoyed the card I made today and if you are interested in any of the products I used, they are listed and linked below for your convenience. All supplies can be found at the Simon Says Stamp store.

I just flipped when I saw this Warm and Cozy Wishes collaboration set with Simon! So much that I had to make two cards!

Both cards are made from smooth white cardstock cut to an A2 size cardbase.  I stamped one using black copic friendly ink and colored the images in using copic markers. The other was stamped using a very light distress ink. I believe it was antique linen and colored using prisma colored pencils for a no-line coloring effect. The copic colored card has a distress inked background while the prisma colored card has a pattern paper background. I stamped the copic colored card's sentiment using more black ink. The sentiment was heat embossed with white embossing powder on the colored pencil card. I hope this wasn't too confusing but if you have any questions, just leave me a comment!

I hope you enjoyed stopping by to see my two creations! Here is a list and links to all the supplies I used to make these cards. Happy STAMPtember!!

I used the All the Thanks stamp set to create this colorful thank you card.   

This is a very clean and simple card with a burst of color to emphasise the sentiment. I made this card using an A2 size card base using white cardstock. I then cut a panel from white cardstock to leave a bit of a border. Using distress oxide inks I ink blended a colorful rainbow background for the sentiment from the stamp set. I stamp the sentiment using the same oxide inks and clear embossing powder to create some shine. I stamped the sub-sentiment underneath in black ink. I added some flat pearls for some interest.

I used the Coffee Friends stamp set to create this fun and cozy card. 

I made this card using an A2 size card base out of white cardstock. I then trimmed down a panel from white cardstock to be a bit smaller than the base. I ink blended the panel with speckled egg distress oxide ink and a blender brush. Using a snow stencil, I added texture paste to create falling snow. While that was drying, I stamped the coffee cup image from the stamp set in black copic friendly ink and colored them using copic markers. I then fussy cut them out and arranged them around the sentiment from the stamp set that I stamped using red ink and cut out with a oval die. To finish the card off, I added icicle stickles for a bit of sparkle.

This stamp set is a large red rubber Stampers Anonymous Christmas stamp set featuring lots of gorgeous holiday images.

I created this card using an A2 size card base made from white cardstock.  I then trimmed down another piece of white cardstock to create a panel a bit smaller to leave a white border. I stamped the large image from the set using black ink and heat set it with clear embossing powder. I then cut it up! Yes, I did! I wanted a kinda 3d look to this card. I cut out the tree and santa on the latter. I then stamped the whole scene again on another panel and ink blended the sky and added some texture paste for snow. When everything was dry, I added the panel to my card and along with the popped up santa and tree. I know it might be hard to tell in this photo so I attached a video that hopefully gives you a better idea of the layers I created. The sentiment was heat embossed in white on to a red cardstock strip and the believe die was cut from silver cardstock.

I used the Reindeer Wishes stamp set to create this fun holiday card.  

I made this card using an A2 size cardbase made from smooth white cardstock. I then trimmed down another piece of white cardstock and ink blended it using distress oxides. I used some white acrylic paint to add some white splatter to look like snow. I then stamped the image from the stamp set directly onto the ink blended panel using Walnut Stain distress oxide ink. I then stamped the sentiment from the stamp set using a embossing ink and heat set it with white embossing powder. I then stamped the reindeer image onto white cardstock and fussy cut out and paper pieced it onto the first stamped image. I added stickles for some sparkle to the ornaments and collar.
