How About Some Cute Patriotic Pups Cards For Today?

Hello everyone.  I'm so excited to share my cards using the Patriotic Pups Ephemera Die-Cuts from Not 2 Shabby. These Red, White, and Blue cards are so festive and fun. I think they came out so cute.    Without further ado here's my cards.

Aren't They Cute??

Here was the first card I made and I used Not 2 Shabby Ladybugs Hugs 6x6 Paper Pack for the red polka dot pattern paper.  I also used of course this pup from the Patriotic Pups Ephemera.  I downloaded some free Patriotic Sentiments also from Not 2 Shabby.  The other ephemera and pattern paper is from Doodlegbug Design.  I used the Say Cheese Again die from Lawn Fawn for the polaroid that I cut out with white cardstock.  I popped up the polaroid and ephemera with foam and everything else was glued with liquid glue on a A2 blue card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I used some Firecrackers Buttons and More embellishments.  That finishes this card.

On this card, I used more of the red polka dot paper from Ladybug Hugs, Ephemera from Doodlebug, Ephemera from Not 2 Shabby, Sentiment from Not 2 Shabby, striped pattern paper from my stash, and a white die-cut from the EZ Wonder die #1 by LV Handcrafted.  I also added some embellishments.  Everything was glued to a blue A2 card. That finishes this card.

This square card might be my favorite I love the Doodlebug hat ephemera on this pup and firework. Another cute sentiment.  This is a 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 card.  I popped up the hat with foam tape.  I did use some more red polka dot paper and embellishments.  I glued everything to a coordinating card base. That finishes this card.

My last card uses a lot of the same products.  I did use some other pattern paper from my stash and if you look closely I do have some more of that red polka dot paper.  So save your scraps to have your cards all have a little bit of the same pattern paper on all. Everything was glued to a A2 blue card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.

And here is another look.  Did you have a favorite? I love how all my cards turned out.  They were easy and I think they are cute.  Just exactly what I wanted to spread some smiles across the miles as I mail these out to some crafty friends.  I hope I inspired you to make some Patriotic cards and or to use some ephemera and grab these pups I think they are on sale and I have a lot left over and that makes this paper hoarder so happy or I would buy another because they are so cute.

Hello My Friend

 Hello there I have a card today and it's clean and simple.  These are the type of cards that are difficult for me. I am joining challenges today for Freshly Made Sketches #691 Sketch by Michelle and The Color Throwdown #835 using Yellow, Green, and Turquoise.  Without further ado here is my card.

So on my card, I used Unity Stamp Company Chirps & Cheer rubber stamp that is from the Uniquely Unity by Ang April 2025 Membership.  I cut out a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 white cardstock and stamped this cute critter with Memento Tuxedo ink using my stamping platform.  I colored it in using Copic Markers in BG15, BG23, Y06, Y08, G14, G05.  I stamped my sentiment from the stamp set with Versafine Onyx ink.

I cut my panel to 4 x 5 1/4.  I used a black pen for the eyes, flower center, and feet.  I used a white gel pen for the eyes and a few accents.

I glued my panel to a A2 gray heavy weight card base.  That finishes my card I hope I motivated you to join some challenges.  I always have a blast with challenges.  I will be back soon. Hugs.

50th Anniversary Of JAWS Celebrating With Whimsy Stamps

 Hello everyone.  I have a Card and Treat Bag today.  It's a little different as it's the 50th Anniversary of JAWS.  Here at Whimsy Stamps we are celebrating the JAWS Anniversary and you can find our projects on instagram and in our FB group.  Without further ado here is what I made.

I first started out with my card.  I downloaded this cute shark called Shawn Shark by Crissy Armstrong on Hammermill cardstock 100 pounds.  Isn't it cute?? I colored it in with my Copic Markers N5, N3, N0, W5, and T5.  I added some pink cheeks with pink chalk. I then fussy cut it out with a white border.  I ink blended white cardstock 110 pounds with the It's Cloudy 6x9 Stencil and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink.  I rotated the stencil a few times.  Next, I ink blended the water with salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink and then ink blended the sand with Antique Linen Distress oxide ink.  My favorite sky water sand combo.  I then used the swirls 6x9 stencil with Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide ink picking a few swirls to ink onto my water.  Fun right? I used E33, and E30 Copics for dotted sand.  I cut out my background with the largest scalloped oval from the Spring Ovals Die Set.

I flicked some white Picket Fence Distress Spray Stain onto my oval background.  I cut out a A2 white panel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and glued my oval to it when it was dry and then to a gray heavy weight A2 card base.  I stamped a sentiment from the Don't Peek Yetti Stamp set with black ink on a white strip.  I popped up my shark and sentiment with foam tape.  I added white gel pen accents and embellishments from This Calls For Confetti in Mermaizing.  Yay!

We picked up a gummy sharks candy bag and I thought well I have to make a treat bag to go with my card right? LOL. So I ink blended another oval and scored it.  I have some food bags and I placed a few sharks in there I had to eat 1 along the way of course.  I didn't use stencils and I did make this digital shark image smaller.  I stapled my scored oval onto my plastic treat bag using a Tim Holtz tiny attacher.  I popped up the shark and added embellishments.  That finishes this project.

I hope you like it!  It was so much fun. Now I'm singing Baby Shark 🦈😄 Happy Anniversary JAWS.

Another Holiday Card For Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Card Sketch 58

I thought it would be fun to use some pattern paper and colored cardstock with some fun assembled tags and brads for this card.  The trees pattern paper is from a Trinity Stamps Slimline paper pack.  The tags and brads are from My Minds Eye Holly Jolly Decorative Embellishments pack.

I just cut my papers according to the sketch and glued everything to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I glued a sentiment strip from my stash and that finishes this card.  I hope you join this month you still have time and you can win a prize.  Also you get your Holiday cards finished which is so great and leaves you stress free for the Holidays.  Just upload in our Fb group there is a album category.

Birthday Card Using The Numbers Stencil From A Colorful Life Designs

 Hello everyone.  I have my last card sample for May from A Colorful Life Designs May Release.  Our Mid Month Motivation stencil Rainbow Roads is still on sale and you can still use my code VonFan10.  I had so much fun this month and I hope you enjoyed this months inspiration.  Without further ado here is my card.

This New Numbers 6x6 Stencil is so much fun for Birthdays and Anniversaries or anything regarding a fun milestone.  I used this stencil for a Birthday Card.  I inked the stencil with white cardstock using Catherine Pooler Royal Treatment, Mandarin Spice, Peppermint Scrub, and Sauna inks.  I love these colors together. Next, I cut my background to be 4 x 5 1/4.

I used a older STAMPtember collab. stamp set using Simon Says Stamp and Hero arts called Make A Wish and I stamped the sentiment and image with Memento tuxedo ink.  I colored simply with my Copic markers. I cut out the image and sentiment using a retired Chunky scalloped rectangle die from Simon Says Stamp. I glued my background to a cream colored A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and popped up my image and sentiment with foam tape.  I embellished with card Bling in Satin Matte Light Purple. I love card Bling.  I hope you grab something fun from A Colorful Life Designs and use VonFan10 to save.  Cannot be used on Master Creator Bundles as those are marked down 20%.  I love how this card came out.  I will be back soon. Hugs.

Inspired By Freezies Challenge

 Hello I'm so happy to participate in the current Inspired By Freezies Challenge#IB340.  I was inspired by the colors, photo, and sketch.  Without further ado here's my card.

On my card, I used MFT Stamps Pair Of Popsicles Die-namics and MFT Stamps Sunshine Kisses Stamp.  I started out with cutting out a bunch of popsicles 8 to be exact with white cardstock.  I ink blended 4 of them using Catherine Pooler Something Borrowed, Green Tea, Mandarin Spice, and Royal Treatment Mini inks and small blending brushes.  

Next, I cut out 4 Popsicle sticks in white cardstock and ink blended them with Concord & 9th ink cube in Stardust.  I then put my popsicles together sandwiching 2 popsicles together 1 ink blended and 1 white cardstock with foam tape.  I stuck the popsicle sticks in with liquid glue.  I then cut out white cardstock 4 x 5 1/4 and glued my popsicles according to the sketch.  I covered my popsicles with a scrap piece of cardstock and flicked ink splatters with a little bit of water using the same inks as my popsicles onto my panel.

I stamped my sentiment from the Sunshine Kisses stamp with Versafine Onyx ink on orange cardstock and then cut it with my paper trimmer.  I then glued my panel to a A2 gray card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I had so much fun making this card.  Thank you to Inspired by for their fun challenges.

A Football Card

 Hello there I have a Sports card today.  I love Football and have football withdraw right now.  My favorite team is the Kansas City Chiefs and yup #15 Patrick Mahomes is my favorite player.  I love this New Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called Make A Jersey Stencil.  It's a 6x9 stencil and you can add numbers and make 2 different jerseys so great.  Use VonFan10 to save.  Without further ado here is my card.

I made a Congratulations card maybe Kansas City Chiefs will win the Super bowl next year.  On white cardstock I used the jersey with Concord & 9th Poppy ink, Mustard Distress Oxide ink, and Memento Luxe Wedding Dress ink for the numbers and lines on jersey.  It's a white that was easier to use than other white inks I had.  It shows up at at least without using colored paper or you can stamp and heat emboss that might work better.  

I then fussy cut the jersey out and put a football together from my stash with brown and white cardstock.  I cut out some Lawn fawn pattern paper from Let's Polka in the Dark paper pad cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I stamped the sentiment with Whimsy Stamps Cue The Confetti Stamp and cut it to a strip.  I glued my pattern paper and football to a A2 card base and popped up the football and sentiment with foam tape.  I think it's a fun card after all it's my favorite sport.  I hope you grab this stencil it's great for everyone.
