WS Trio

I thought it seemed like a good day to share these three Whipper Snapper cards. They all feature the sets released in April.

For my first card, I thought that the handwritten sentiments would make a cute stem. I stamped that first, then added the flower and leaves. I coloured it in with Copics, and put it together in one of my favorite layouts.
This chicken image is definitely one of my favorites. It's so much fun to colour and pair with other food items. I wanted a country kitchen vibe for this one, so I paired the images with this cute checkered paper and some saddle stitched grosgrain.
For this card, I wanted a simple "wow". This card is slightly smaller than usual, the note card 3.5x5. I cut out a scalloped square, then adhered a square of tape to it and glittered it up. Then I attached a Copic coloured cake in the same colours and added the sentiment in white craft ink. Easy, quick, and sparkly :D

Supplies:
Stamps: Chicken's in the Kitchen, What's Cookin', Simply Bloom
Ink: Bamboo Leaves, Rich Cocoa, Tuxedo Black
Paper: Kraft, Berry Sorbet, Ski Slope DP, White, Vanilla, Chocolate, SEI DP, Pixie Pink, Lovely Lilac
Accessories, etc.: Glitter, Copic markers, ribbon, various nestabilities, pop dots

Wildflower Birthday

I was in the mood for a bit of watercolouring and I was itching to use my new sets from Whipper Snapper Designs. I stamped the flower, leaf, and butterfly with Stazon onto watercolour paper. Then I went to work with watercolour paints and a blender pen. I really wanted a soft glow around the images, so I dribble a few droplets of water on my plastic palette and mixed in a touch of yellow paint. I applied that with an aquapainter since I wanted it to disperse. Next I stamped Aida Cloth onto some caramel cardstock, I added piercing and some sponging to match with the rest of the edge distressing I had done. I completed it with a twine tied button and sentiment flag.



Supplies:
Stamps: Blossoms and Butterflies, Aida Cloth, Blooming Expressions
Ink: Timber Brown, Creamy Caramel
Paper: Creamy Caramel, Watercolour, New Leaf, Vintage Cream
Accessories, etc.: Twine, New Leaf button, paper piercer and guide, sponge, watercolour paints

New Cling Mounts!

It's time for some new designs by Anna Wight. Be sure to check them out at Whipper Snapper Designs. I had a lot of fun with this month's sets. There are three new sets this month.
First up is Chicken's in the Kitchen. This set has a chicken and lots of props. I gave her a chef's hat and a wooden spoon and paired the whole thing with the "Kiss the Cook!" sentiment. This colour combo- caramel, buttercup, and aqua reminded me of a kitchen.
The second set is called What's Cookin'. It have several cute sayings and some food images. These images also go quite nicely with the chicken set. I kept this design pretty simple, having just the one small image, a matching saying, and red and brown.The third set is called Simply Bloom. It contains floral images, a few leaves, a butterfly, and my favorite: handwritten sentiments. If you're like me, you may find yourself a tad envious of others' handwriting and how well it works on a card. Don't get me wrong, I like my handwriting and printing, but they just doesn't seem to "go" on cards. As soon as I saw this set, I wanted to make this card. I stamped several flowers and coloured them in with Copics. I wanted a card that would be like a ray of sunshine for the recipient. Bright colours, especially blue, yellow, and orange, make me happy.

Supplies:
Stamps: Chicken's in the Kitchen, What's Cookin', Simply Bloom
Ink: Rich Cocoa, Tuxedo Black
Paper: Creamy Caramel, Chocolate Chip, Bitty Dots DP, Real Red, White, Summer Sun, Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango
Accessories, etc.: Nestabilities (oval, long rectangle), saffron grosgrain, Copics, pop dots, red grosgrain

A bit more Whipper Snapper

I have a few more cards to share, featuring Anna's latest sets.

The first card features some watercolouring. I didn't do it the traditional way. Instead of using a paintbrush, I used a blender pen. I couldn't find a decently pointy paintbrush for the finer details, but the blender pen worked nicely. I quite like this owl, I like how he's kind of pointing to the greeting.

For the second card, I returned to the Copics. I really love this cute, little potted flower. I coloured it in, cut it out, popped it up, added a bit of piercing and a sentiment. Then I paired that with some lined paper, and keeping with the whole stitching them, some ribbon, thread, and a button.

Supplies:
Stamps: Little Critters, Sending Happy Thoughts (by Whipper Snapper)
Ink: Tuxedo Black, Stazon Black, Rich Cocoa
Paper: PTI Bitty Dots DP, Hawaii Papaya DSP, Watercolour Paper, White, Really Rust, Creamy Caramel, New Leaf
Accessories, etc.: Watercolours, Copics, ribbon, thread, scalloped nestabilities, button

A bit of Whipper Snapper

I am so excited to be a featured designer for Anna's latest designs at Whipper Snapper. Some good news for you, there's a sale on Cling Mount (includes case & insert) - $19.99 each - Special through March 20th - $14.99!

I had a lot of fun with Little Critters. Anytime I see a set with different animals in it, I feel the need to stack them. I don't know why, it's just something that I think is cute with animal sets. I stamped the elephant, giraffe, and the bird and got to work colouring them in with Copics. I thought the Dream Big sentiment from Happy Thoughts seemed appropriate

For my next card, I was still on a Copics kick. I stamped and cut out 3 cupcakes, then got to work colouring those in. I added a couple layers of clear Spica on the cupcake tops and the cherries. It adds just the right amount of sparkle. I also stamped my own background paper using the Sending Happy Thoughts sentiment.
