Happy Monday everyone and welcome to the January Whimsy Stamps Rubber and Die release Sneak Peek!!
We are having a little change this year. Instead of the monthly release, Whimsy Stamps is now releasing every other month instead. So there won't be a release in February, but of course we will still show you plenty of Whimsy projects throughout the next month and into March, using goodies from the January release. If you like whimsy stamps be sure to follow all the amazing Whimsy designers so you don't miss any projects (I have all DT members listed on my side bar.) And don't forget about our Facebook page, where you can share your own Whimsy creations too!
This year we have 3 amazing new artists join us! Cathy Delannsay, Sandy Allnock, and our own Design Team Member Simonne Clay.
We are also having 5 days of Blog Hops planned starting today up until Friday. All products will be officially released on Wednesday! I hope you'll join us each day. There will be prizes to be won, but the blogs and days for the prizes are secret, so be sure to hop along each day and leave comments too. The prize winners will be announced sometimes after the last hop, probably next Monday, on the Whimsy Stamps Inspirations Blog.
Today we are showcasing creations made with stamps from two of our new artists,
Sandy Allnock and Kathy Delannsay.
To make my card I used the gorgeous stamp "The Little Bird", illustrated by Cathy Delannsay. Isn't this stamp absolutely gorgeous!! I knew right away that I wanted to paper piece her gorgeous gown!

To make my card I used the gorgeous stamp "The Little Bird", illustrated by Cathy Delannsay. Isn't this stamp absolutely gorgeous!! I knew right away that I wanted to paper piece her gorgeous gown!
Her hair and skin were colored using Copic Markers. As you can see, the image has been cut out. I used my super sharp cutterbee scissors for it. They work wonderfully for fussy cutting! To paper piece I stamped the image again onto my designer paper, and cut that out separately.
The castle in the background was made using the new castle die, which will also be released on Wednesday. I thought it would work perfectly with the stamp. Whimsy Stamps will also be releasing an all occasion stamp set, "Everyday Moments", designed by our amazingly talented DT member and new Whimsy artist Simonne. If you are looking for a basic, many occasions sentiment set, this one would be it.
The paper I used is from my stash, probably from one of the My Mind's Eye stacks. I added a die from the die set "vines". I finished the card off by sewing around the edges, and added a little flower.
Oh, and in case you are wondering, I created the circle behind the castle by applying some distress ink with an ink applicator tool, and then I stamped a silhouette stamp onto it.
