It's all about Donuts here with me today as I share a creation I made for Whimsy Stamps, you can check out the blog Here.
I have been playing with the Donut Birthdays Clear Stamps this month, I couldn't help myself, as soon as I seen them my mind was going bonkers haha.
Come and check out all the other new stamps in the shop here.
I have coloured up the images using Copic Markers on Mondi Color Copy 250GSM Paper. I find this paper works well for me and allows me to blend nicely.
I used paper from American Crafts, that I cut to size using Cutterpillar Pro. I added some Derivan Burnt Umber Acrylic Paint to a Lawn Fawn Acrylic Block and then added some water to it, I used a paint brush to mix it and then splattered it all over my paper. I used my heat tool to dry it because I was being inpatient and couldn't wait for it to dry. Mat pieces are cut from American Crafts Cardstock that I had in my stash.
I fussy cut the images carefully using EK Success Cutterbee Scissors, Used a Pen Blade number 1 to get the inside of the donut and finished off the edges by running around carefully with a Tombow Dual Ended black marker.
I adhered using a mixture of Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Adhesive and Scotch ATG, I then added them to a card base from Twiddleybitz. I used Nuvo Crystal Drops in Gloss White to add the cream to the top of my éclair donut.

I am sharing a card I made using Penguin Ballerina, such an adorable image, and I am excited to share her with you.
I merged the image and the sentiment together using MS Word, I don't have any fancy editing programs so this is the easiest way for me to do it.
She was coloured up using Copic Markers on Mondi Color Copy 250GSM which you will find listed below.
I cut the image using My Favorite Things Wonky Stitched Squares on Sizzix Big Shot. I also ran a piece of patterned paper from Kaisercraft Tea Party 6 1/2" Paper Pad through with the same die.
I cut a Base using American Crafts Card Stock on Cutterpillar Pro, and patterned paper layers from the same Kaisercraft paper pad as above. I also used some of the punch outs from the paper pad.
Everything was adhered to a Twiddleybitz card base using Scotch ATG and Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Adhesive.
I added Nuvo Crystal Drops in Bubblegum Blush, and some details to the image using Uni-ball Signo White Angelic Gel Pen.

Today I am lucky enough to be sharing a card for Whimsy Stamps using "Penguin Flies". I thought this image would look cute flying through the sky so that was my inspiration for my card today.
I Printed the image using my Brother Laser Printer onto Mondi Color Copy 250GSM card, I then coloured the image up using Copic Markers.
My plan was to tip the image onto the side so it looked like it was flying, I thought the Stitched Wonky Circle Dies from My Favorite Things would help set the image off. So I grabbed the right size circle die and carefully traced it using a lead pencil so I could work out where the balloons would stick out.
I then used my Cutterbee scissors from EK Success to carefully cut the top of the balloons out. Once I did this I erased all the pencil lines and laid the die back over. I adhered the die to the image using some Washi tape, then popped the balloons up and over the die so they wouldn't get cut off when I ran it through my Big Shot.
I ran the image through my Sizzix Big Shot and it turned out exactly as I had imagined it to. I ran the Puffy Cloud die from My Favorite Things through also to create some clouds for my card. I then used the negative piece as a stencil and some Time Holtz Ranger Mini Distress Ink to create the clouds around my image. (I don't own a cloud stencil hence why I did it this way).
I added the sentiment using Lawn Fawn Acrylic Block and Memento Tuxedo Black, the sentiment is from My Favorite Things Adorable Elephants.
Patterned papers are from Pebbles Party with Amy Locurto Poolside Collection.
Everything was adhered onto my card using a mixture of Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Adhesive and Scotch ATG. Everything was cut using Cutterpillar Pro.
I added some Wink Of Stella Clear Glitter Brush onto the balloons just to bring them off the page a little bit.

Today I am sharing a card with you made using a Stamp From La La Land Crafts - Club La La Land Crafts April 2017 Kit. I'm such a hoarder of my stamps that I didn't even realise I had this set heheh.
The link above is the You Tube, check it out :)
Anyway onto the process.
I started by removing the backing sheet and cutting the stamps up using Tim Holtz Scissors, it makes it a lot easier to cut the stamps up if you remove the backing sheet first.
I stamped the images and sentiments onto Mondi Color Copy 250GSM using Memento Tuxedo Black and my Misti Stamping Tool (with the foam mat removed). I coloured the images using Copic Markers (listed below), I then used EK Success Cutterbee Scissors to fussy cut the images out. The Sentiment was cut on my Cutterpillar Pro then free hand cut.
Patterned papers were cut from Kaiercraft Tea Party 6 1/2" paper pad. I also used some of the cut outs from the same paper pad.
I used some of the scraps from the paper pad to cut the butterflies. I ran the dies through my Sizzix Big Shot.
I ran a My Favorite Things Wonky Squares die through my Big Shot using Mondi Color Copy 250GSM.
I adhered the patterned paper to a matt I cut from American Crafts Card Stock using Scotch ATG. I popped a doily onto the patterned paper then adhered the MFT Wonky Stitched Square using ATG over top. I then added the cut outs and the images.
I ran the "Build A Tulip Die" through my Big Shot using American Crafts Cardstock. I adhered it using Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Adhesive. Copic Markers Used On This Card

We are celebrating the month of March with Whimsy Stamps.
March brings us St Patrick's Day, Good Friday and Easter Saturday. Easter Saturday is an extra special one for me this year as it is the day I marry my partner Peter and we bring our families together and becoming a family of 7. Peter has 3 kids and I have 2. It's a very busy household for us.
I coloured up Penguin Easter Bunny using Copic Markers. I printed it on Mondi Color Copy 250GSM.
I cut the image using Sizzix Big Shot and a My Favorite Things Circle die, I carefully cut the bunny ears using EK Success Cutterbee Scissors before I die cut it so they didn't get cut off.
I used a Uni-ball Signo White Angelic Gel Pen to add details to the Easter Eggs and the bunny ears.
Patterned papers are from Doodlebug Springtime Papers, plain card stock is from American Crafts and Kaisercraft.
I also add a layered die cut from My Favorite Things Celebrate Word Die. I cut it a few times and layered them on top of each other using Xyron Adhesive.
I have also uploaded a You Tube Video of the colouring process on Penguin Easter Bunny (not this card but just to show you the way I colour the bunny.

I am sharing a card with you for Whimsy Stamps Digital Design Team.
I am using Penguin Easter Bunny, which I coloured up using Copic Markers.
I printed the image using my Brother printer onto Mondi Color Copy 250GSM.
I used My Favorite Things Stitched Circle Stax to carefully trace the area on the image that I wanted to cut, and used my EK Success Cutterbee scissors to cut the ears that would pop out the top my die cut. I then carefully used tape to adhere the die underneath the ears so the wouldn't get cut off and cut the circle on my Sizzix Big Shot.
I cut base layers from a mixture of American Crafts Cardstock and Kaisercraft Cardstock. The pattern papers I cut from Doodlebug Springtime 6x6 Paper. I cut everything on my Cutterpillar Pro.
I cut all the banners by hand with my Cutterbee Scissors, just basically eye-balling them to make sure they were centred.
I added some hearts from a previous cutting of Simon Says Stamp Stacked Hearts Wafer Die that were sitting on my desk. I adhered them using Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Adhesive.
All the layers were adhered using Scotch ATG and added to a pre-made card base from Twiddleybitz.
I used a Uni-ball Signo White Gel Pen to add fine details to the Easter Eggs and the Penguin.
I really love these Penguin Images and I'm sure that you guys will always.
