Heidi in the Snow

Hope you all had a fabulous Christmas! Although, we're all still in chillout mode at The Stamp Basket, I just thought I'd stop by and show you a card I made some time ago now using one of my favourite Whimsy stamps called ‘Heidi’…isn’t she so cute?!

 

The delicious papers are My Mind’s Eye ‘Lavender’…such a gorgeous blend of pinks and aquas in this pad….definitely my kind of colours!

I went for quite a simple layout with this card so that the image could really sing out! The sentiment is from a lovely Stampavie set that are currently in the sale, stamped onto card that has been cut using one of the Memory Box Marshmallow Clouds die (that are also in the sale!) – there are two in the set.

 

Here’s a close up of the image coloured with copics:

Gardening Fun

Hi,

I hope you are having a good weekend! I have a card to show you today that has been made to wish fathers everywhere a Happy Father’s Day! The image, which is currently in the sale at The Stamp Basket online store, is from Stampavie and is called ‘Gardening Fun’....designer Penny Johnson certainly makes it look fun with all the little helpers on board!

The sentiment on the tag is from the Tina Wenke ‘With love’ stamp set – I just love this set – it’s so versatile, with sentiments suitable for all occasions...and it's also, on special offer at the moment at The Stamp Basket!

The gorgeous background papers are from the Prima ‘Nature Garden’ pad…just so apt for the image! This really is a beautiful pad of paper whether ‘dressed up’ or ‘dressed down’, and can be used to enhance a project or stand alone to speak for themselves as in some of the cards that Kerry‘s made recently. The good news is, this pad, along with a range of other gorgeous Prima pads, is also in the sale over at The Stamp Basket...so if you've not already done so, why not pop over and take a look...there are lots of bargains to be had!

Now to my dies...I’ve used a range of dies on this card…the Whimsy Corner die set; Memory Box Macarena Corner and Memory Box Nestled Bird cut from the background papers…this is such a sweet, subtle little die which I think adds a lovely detail to outdoor style projects!

The following items are available at The Stamp Basket online store:

Stamps: Stampavie ‘Gardening Fun’; ‘With Love’

Papers: Prima ‘Garden Nature’ 6 x 6 paper pack

My Creativity LIFE!

April Sunshine

Hi everyone. My card today showcases a stamp from the new Elizabeth Bell Cottage Cutie Collection by Whimsy called ‘April Sunshine’ – it’s such a cute, versatile image and really lovely to colour! The sentiment on the front of the card is from the ‘With Love’ set of stamps designed by Tina Wenke for Stampavie – there’s a lovely range of sentiments stamps in this set that can be used for so many different occasions, so good value for money…and, of course, being Stampavie, they stamp beautifully.

The papers are Magnolia Sweet Crazy Love Cloudy Turquoise Hearts and Vintage Turquoise – such lovely soft shades…and the good news is, we have a weekend special on the Cloudy Hearts papers at The Stamp Basket this weekend!

The doily behind the image has been made using the Memory Box ‘Quinn Flourish’ – this is a lovely delicate die which would also look great as a focal point for a project. The border has been created using the Martha Stewart Edger ‘Doily lace’ punch and the dragonfly is the smaller baby ‘Willow Dragonfly’ from Memory Box. I’ve decorated the inside of the card to compliment the front, using a corner die from the Whimsy Corner die set, along with the Memory Box ‘Petite Umbrella’ die (optimistically, mine is a parasol!) and the Memory Box ‘Fancy Blossoms’ die set. The sentiments inside the card have been computer generated.

All products used are available at The Stamp Basket.

                                                                  Recipe:

Stamps: Whimsy ‘April Sunshine’; Stampavie ‘With love’

Papers: Magnolia Sweet Crazy Love ‘Cloudy Hearts Turquoise’ and ‘Vintage Turquoise’

Card: Craftwork Cards Straight Edge Card Pack; Bazzill Emma; Personal Impressions Premier Quality Smooth White Card
