Little Darlings stamps is releasing a new collection today called Spring is in the Air. To introduce the four new darling stamps, the design team and a few guest designers are having a blog hop. The hop coincides with the Little Darlings challenge and the theme Spring Colors.

For my first sample I used the new image called Buddies. It was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a piece of white cardstock, cut and embossed with the largest Classic Square Nestabilities die. The image was colored with Copic Markers (Skin: E00, E11, E13  Hair: N5, N7, N9   Jeans: B0000, B91, B93, B95, B97   shirt/frog: YG21, YG23, YG17   Hat: Y23, Y26, Y28, E33   Net: C00, C1, C3, C5    Ground: G43, G46, E31).

It was masked, cloud masks were added and the background was airbrushed with Copic Marker BG01.  Shading was added to the clouds with Copic Markers W00, W0 and W1. The square was adhered to a piece of Kraft cardstock, cut and embossed with the largest Scallop Square Nestabilities die.

A 2 3/4″ x 4 1/2″ strip of Pebbles Happy Go Lucky Patterned paper was adhered to a 4 1/2″ square of Pebbles May Bouquet Collection. The layers were stitched to a 3/16″ bigger piece of Solar White cardstock. Blue Organdy Ribbon was tied around the horizontal strip before the image was adhered over the center with dimensionals.

The wires of three Zva Creative flowers were twisted together. The ends were rolled up with the help of my paper piercer. Branches punched out of Pebbles paper were added to the flower bouquet and it was adhered to the lower left corner of the image. Part of a Finesse Rhinestone Swirl was adhered next to the flowers.

A sentiment from Whimsy’s Treasured Moments Tickets stamp set was stamped in Tuxedo Black Ink over a piece of cardstock that had been cut and embossed with a Standard Circle Nestabilities die. The sentiment was adhered above the flowers. The layers were adhered to the card base, Kraft cardstock cut and embossed with the second smallest  Grand Scallop Square Nestabilities die.

For my second card I used the image Isn’t She Lovely. The girl was stamped in Tuxedo Black Ink on Solar White cardstock and colored with Copic Markers (Skin: E50, E51, E53    Hair: Y26, E33, E35, E37   Dress: R30, R32, R35    Shoes and Trim: W00, W0, W1   Hat: YR20, YR21, YR23    Purse: YG11, YG13, YG17). The image was cut out and set aside.

The card base was cut out of Solar White cardstock with the Tim’s large tag die. A piece of the new Echo Park Graceful This & That paper was cut slightly smaller. The edges were sanded and another piece of the same paper pack was added as a horizontal strip. The edges were then stitched and seam binding was tied around the strip. A heart doily was adhered to the left hand side of the card. The image was adhered over the doily with dimensionals.

A sentiment from Whimsy’s Friendship Ticket Sentiments was stamped over the oval that had been cut with the Large Tage and bookplates die. The oval was airbrushed with Copic Marker YR20, placed back into the bookplate frame and adhered partially under the girl frame. A butterfly from the same set was stamped on the same paper used for the card base and cut out. It was adhered to the lower right of the sentiment panel.

To finish off the card a button was tied on over the bow with Linen thread. One of Nina’s gorgeous new Fancy That Want2Scrap Border bling was adhered to the top of the card. A Rhinestone was added the right hand side of the bookplate and part of a Finesse Rhinestone Swirl underneath it.

I created this card along with a tutorial how I create masked clouds for the last Whimsy Magazine.  The Wee image Easter Bunny was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock. It was cut and embossed with a Label 18 Nestabilities die and colored with  Copic Markers (Bunny: N0, N1, N2, N3, R00, R20   Egg: G000, G00, G02    Flowers: Y02, Y06, Y08    Chick: Y02, Y06, Y08, Y17, YR15, YR18   Stool: E70, E71, E74, E23   Brush: E33, E37, R24   Bow: R20, R21, R22, R24   Ground: G40, G41, G46 W3, E31, E33).

The image was masked and cloud masks were added. The sky was airbrushed with Copic Marker BG01 and the clouds were colored with Copic Markers  (W00, W0, W1).

A 2″ x 5 1/4″ piece of My Mind’s Eye Follow Your Heart Be Happy paper was adhered to a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of the same paper pack. The bottom corners were rounded and the edges were sanded and stitched. Ribbon was tied around the vertical strip and topped with a button, tied on with Silver Curling ribbon. A paper doily was adhered to the upper right hand corner and the image was adhered to the layers with dimensionals.

The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Solar White cardstock, folded in half. The bottom corner were rounded and the layers were adhered on top. A sentiment from Friendship Notables 2 was stamped in Tuxedo Black ink, colored with Copic Markers Y00 and Y02 and adhered to the lower right of the layers. Parts of a Finesse Rhinestone Swirl and additional Rhinestones finish off the card.

Whimsy Stamps is releasing 4 new Elisabeth Bell Little Cottage Cuties rubber stamps today and these new goodies are available to buy right now from the Whimsy Stamps store along with all your Whimsy favourites.

~ Apple Blossom ~                                  ~ Chloe ~
 

~ Picked Sweet ~                                     ~ Sun Kissed ~

The Whimsy Stamps DT and Special Guests have been previewing these beautiful stamps for the past 2 days, and today we are celebrating their release with a BLOG HOP!

The hop starts today (Wednesday March 7th at 12.00PM EST) and ends on Wednesday March 14th at 12.00PM EST.

For this hop we have five different prize draws! One lucky hopper will win the entire new release of ALL four stamps. We also have four mini candy stops throughout the hop where you can enter to win a new release stamp! We’re not telling you where they are, so be sure to complete the hop to find them!

If you would like to hop along with us today, please CLICK HERE to start the hop at Debbie’s blog.

For my sample I stamped Chloe in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock. The image was cut and embossed with the largest Label 22 Nestabilities die and colored with Copic Markers (Apples: YG01, YG03, YG17    Basket: E31, E33, E35, E37, E37    Skin: E000, E01, E11, R20    Hair: Y26, E33, E35, E37    Shirt: Y13, Y15, Y17    Pants: B93, B95, B97, B99    Hairband: R08, R27, R39     Ground: YG03, YG63, YG67, E31). The image was airbrushed with Copic Marker B12, after I added a few dots with masking fluid. Once the background was airbrushed and the masking fluid rubbed off, I added Glossy Accents over the dots, hoping it would look a bit like spring rain.

A 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ piece of My Mind’s Eye Miss Caroline Dolled Up patterned paper was adhered to a 4 1/2″ square of the same paper pack. The edges were sanded and stitched before the paper was adhered to the card front, a piece of Solar White cardstock, cut and embossed with a Grand Scallop Square Nestabilities die. A paper Doily was adhered to the upper left hand side, and some cheesecloth to the lower right before the image was adhered to the center with dimensionals.

A sentiment from Every Day Circle Postmarks was stamped in Rich Cocoa Memento Ink. The center was colored with Copic Markers Y15 and Y17. The sentiment was cut out and adhered to a piece of white cardstock, cut and embossed with a Eyelet Pendant Shapeabilities die. Parts of a sanded finish off the card.

Finally, here is a complete blog hop list in hopping order:

Feb 072012

Little Darlings Rubber Stamps are launching a new line of images called Cutie Pies. Five of these darling new images are being released today. You can find them in newly named (formerly Love to Stamp) Little Darlings Rubber Stamps Online store.

For my sample I stamped first Flowers for you in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock. The image was masked, then Teddy & Me was stamped next to her. The image was cut and embossed with the smallest of the Grand Circle Nestabilities dies (the images are big, fun to color!) and colored with Copic Markers (Hair Boy: Y11, Y21, E31, E33     Hair Girl: Y26, E35, E37, E29     Skin:E0000, E00, E11, BV000   Boy Eyes: B000, B12    Girl Eyes: E57, E59   Girl Shirt: R20, R21, R22, R24    Boy Shirt: G03, G05, G07, E41, E42, E43   Skirt/Shoes: C00, C1, C3, C5, C7   Jeans: B93, B95, B97, B99  Boy Shoes: E33, E35, E37, E39    Flowers: Y13, Y15, Y17, YR15, YG03, YG17   Ground: YG01, YG03, YG17, W3, W5, E31,  Background: B0000, B000). Texture was added to the teddy with a piece of old towel and to the Jeans with an old piece of jeans sprayed with Colorless Blender.

Grass was added with Faber-Castell PITT Artist Pen in May Green. The image was adhered to a piece of black cardstock, cut and embossed with a Grand Scalloped Circle Nestabilities die. I added Yellow Stickles over the flowers for a subtle sparkle and adhered three Zva Creative Flowers to the right side of the circles.

A white strip of paper was cut and embossed with a Lace Doily Accent die and adhered to the lower right side of a 2 3/4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Echo Park Country Drive patterned paper. The paper strip was adhered to a 5 1/4″ square of Country drive paper. Another paper piece from the same paper pack was cut and embossed with a Standard Circle Nestabilities die. It was cut into a partial circle and adhered to the lower left corner of the paper square. The layers were stitched to a 3/16″ bigger piece of black cardstock.

White Organdy Ribbon was colored with Copic Marker R22 and tied  around the horizontal strip. The image layers were adhered over the ribbon with dimensionals. The card base was cut and embossed with a Grand Scallop Square Nestabilities die out of Neenah Solar White cardstock. Parts of a Finesse Rhinestone Swirl was adhered to the upper right hand corner and just a tiny piece under the flower trio.

Sentiments from Whimsy’s Love Mini Tickets were stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Solar White cardstock. The tickets were cut out and the center was colored with Copic Marker B0000. The sentiments were adhered underneath the bow. Three Baby Bling Rhinestones on the sentiment finish off the card.

The card is also a sample for this weeks Little Darlings challenge, which is Favorite Embellishments. If you have been to my blog before, you know I LOVE my Organdy ribbon and Rhinestone swirls! Check out more Cutie Pie samples at these blogs:

Well….when I started stamping, I remembered new images, I remembered what paper to use, but I forgot about the sketch we are using today.  I had most of the card done before I remembered. So my card doesn’t match the sketch 100%, but I think it still kind of works.

I stamped the new Bird Swing image in Tuxedo Black Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock. It was cut and embossed with the largest Classic Oval Nestabilities die and the Out of the Box technique and colored with Copic Markers (Birds: N0, N1, N2, N3, Y21, Y23   Swing: E31, E33, E35, E37, Y21, Y23, Y26   Roses: R43, R46, R59    Leaves: YG61, YG63, YG67   Sky: B0000, B000, B00). The image was first adhered to a piece of gray cardstock, cut and embossed with the largest Scallop Oval Nestabilities die, then on a paper doily.

The edges of a 2 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Echo Park Yours Truly Patterned Paper were sanded before the strip was adhered to a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of the same paper pack. The bottom corners were rounded and the edges were first sanded, then stitched. Organdy Ribbon was tied around the vertical strip before the image was adhered with dimensionals. The layers were adhered to a card base , a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock, folded in half.

Two pieces of Yours Truly paper were cut and embossed with a die from the Twisted Metal Accents & Die collection and colored with Copic Markers (YG61, YG63). They were adhered next to the bow (and would have to count for the horizontal strip on the sketch). Parts of a Finesse swirl were adhered slightly under the paper swirls and the ribbon bow was topped with a Rhinestone brad.

A sentiment from the Everyday Circle Sentiments was stamped in London Fog Memento Ink on a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock, cut and embossed with a Standard Circle die. It was adhered to the lower right of the image layer. A heart was cut out of felt with a Classic Heart Nestabilities die. A Flower was stuck through the left side and the flower end was twisted. The heart was adhered to the upper left of the image. Three Rhinestones on the top right edge finish off the card.

White organdy ribbon was tied around the horizontal layer before the paper was adhered to the card base, a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Kraft cardstock, folded in half.

A sentiment from the new Whimsy Stamp set Thank You Tabs was stamped in Jet Black Archival ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock, cut out and adhered under the lower right of the image. The image layers were adhered to the card base with dimensionals. Snowflakes were cut out of white cardstock and scraps from Winter Park paper. One snowflake was layered, topped with a rhinestone brad and adhered to the lower left of the image, the other (a single cut from the smallest die) was adhered above the sentiment and topped with a Rhinestone. Part of a  Finesse Rhinestone Swirl was adhered next to the large snowflake to finish off the card front.
