For this darling Fishing Gnome, I decided to keep it pretty simple so he would be the star of the show.

Using Background Stamps Together - Two Different Ways

You're How Old??

Oh, hi! Here's my second Guest Designer project featuring the adorable NEW Dino Digital Stamp from Whimsy Stamps.

When I first saw this guy, I just knew he had to be paired up with balloons, a snarky sentiment and patterned paper from the Giraffe 6x6 paper pad.

{Supplies used are linked in the text in this post. Compensated affiliate links may be used at no additional cost to you. Thank you for your support!}

I printed him out onto a piece of Cougar Super Smooth Card Stock and colored him up with my Copics.

I stamped the balloons from the Happy Everything stamp set using Fossilized Amber and Peeled Paint Distress Oxide Inks.  For the balloon strings and the sentiment, I used VersaFine Onyx Black ink.

Then, I had my fancy Brother Scan N Cut machine cut out the dinosaur and balloons.

I stamped the sentiment from the Cow Party stamp set onto a piece of Neenah 80# card stock and ran that through my Gemini Jr. die-cutting machine with the Quick Strips die set.

My card base is an A2 top folding card made from Neenah 80# card stock.  I cut a piece of mustard card stock down to 4 1/8" 5 3/8" and adhered that to the front of the card base.  Then I cut the confetti patterned paper to 4" x 5 1/4" and adhered that to the front of the card.  I cut the fishtail banner by hand from aqua polka dot paper and yellow card stock so there would be a slight border.

I adhered the fishtail banners to the front of the card and then added foam tape to the Dino, balloons, and sentiment just for a little bit of dimension.

Copics used:

Dino - R27, R08, R05, R22, E43, E42, E41

I have one more project to share with you  . . . so be sure to check back next Friday!

Introducing Sherbert!

Oh, hi! I'm so honored to be a Special Guest Designer for the Whimsy Stamps Digital Team!

Today, I've got a super cute card to share featuring the NEW Sherbert Digital Stamp from Whimsy Stamps.

Isn't he EVER so cute??  And I just knew that he would pair perfectly with the Licorice Paper Pad!

{Supplies used are linked in the text in this post. Compensated affiliate links may be used at no additional cost to you. Thank you for your support!}

I printed him out onto a piece of Cougar Super Smooth Card Stock and then colored him up with my Copics.  Then, I used an oval die to cut him out and adhered that to a scalloped oval that I die-cut from black card stock.

My card base is a top folding A2 sized card made from black card stock.  I trimmed the Candy card stock down to 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" so there would be the slightest black border behind that.

I cut the striped paper down to 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" and adhered that to a piece of black card stock, just slightly larger and added it to the card base.

I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Everything Stamp Set using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and ran that through my Gemini Jr. die-cutting machine using the Quick Strips Die Set.  I adhered that to a black piece of card stock that I had also die cut using the same die set.

I put a little bit of foam tape on the sentiment and Sherbert just to add some dimension.

Here's a list of the Copic Markers I used to color the image:

Hair - E29, E27, E25
Skin - E13, E21, E53, E51, R00
Hat, Shirt and Bowtie - W4, W2, W1, RV34, RV32, RV11
Jeans - B39, B34, B45
Shoes - C3, C1, C5
Lollipop - RV43, RV32, C1,0
Candy in the Jar - RV34, RV32, RV11

Jar - BG000


But, wait! There's more! I'll be back next Friday featuring another NEW digital image, so be sure to check back!
