Shark Fest - Just Chillin'

Oh, hi! Are you a fan of shark week? I'm not . . . BUT . . .I am a fan of these sharks from the new Shark Fest stamp set by Whimsy Stamps.

Seriously . .. just look at this guy chillin' in a hot tub!

I started out by stamping the Tropical Floral background with All That Jazz ink onto a piece of turquoise cardstock. 

Next, I die-cut a circle from white cardstock and did a bit of ink blending with Tiara, Tiki Torch, and Pucker Up inks.

I stamped the shark and the palm tree using Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of Cougar Super Smooth cardstock and colored them up with my Copics. Then I had my Brother Scan n Cut machine cut them out. 

I adhered the circle to the background panel and the palm tree on top of that. Next I added a bunch of foam tape to the shark and adhered him in place.

To finish it up, I stamped the sentiment using VersaFine Onyx Black ink above the shark and Viola! All done!

Whimsy Stamps Under the Sea

Oh, hi! I've got three cards to share today! Once I started playing with the new Under the Stamp Set by Whimsy Stamps, I just couldn't stop! (all supplies, including the Copics I used, are listed below)

My first card is. . . a slimline shaker, of course! And the Slimline Under the Sea paper pack is a perfect match!

My second card is another slimline using the Slimline Connected Rectangles Die and another piece of cardstock from the Under the Sea Paper Pack.

I cut down the patterned paper so it would fit perfectly behind the large rectangles. I love how this turned out!

And for my third card. . . it's a little punny! Those little shrimp are soooo stinkin' cute and the sentiment made me giggle a little bit:

When I first saw this bear from the On A Roll stamp set, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted a really bright and cheery background, so I started out by using Orange Glow Neon Glitz Gel with the Speckled Star stencil.

While that panel was drying, I colored up that little bear with my Copics (colors listed below) and then ran him through my Scan n Cut. I stamped and embossed the sentiment "You Are" and then die-cut it with the Simple Sentiment die set.

Next, I die-cut the word "Awesome" three times from navy blue cardstock and stacked them up for added dimension.

Once my stenciled panel was dry, I ran it through my Gemini, Jr. with a Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die and adhered it to a navy blue card base. I used liquid glue to adhere the sentiment strip and die-cut word and added foam tape to the bear and, Viola! All done!

For this card, I started out by using the Teardrop Splash stencil with Cummerbund ink for my background. Then I die-cut that panel using the Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die Set and adhered it to the front of a top folding notecard.

Next, I stamped the lily pad and the lotus flower three times each onto Cougar Super Smooth cardstock and then colored them up with Copics.

I trimmed them down and arranged them on the front of the card. Then I decided to add a strip of turquoise cardstock on the left side. After I adhered that strip of cardstock, I adhered the stamped and colored images to the front using foam squares.

I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment using the Simple Sentiments stamp set and used the coordinating die to cut it out. I adhered that to the card front with foam tape as well, and Viola! All done!
