Today we are excited to share the final set of stamps and dies from this release - TIME FOR TEA:



For my hop cards, I have used the Time for Tea stamp set and the Time for Tea Die Set.


This card was very quick and easy to put together. I used some ribbon scraps and randomly glued those to my card base which is a Kraft card from Stampin' Up. Then I stamped the sentiment and frame using Memento Ink on white card. Then used the die from the Time for Tea Dies to cut the shape. Then used foam tape to glue that over the ribbons.

And this card....

I used the sketch from The Paper Players challenge with some designer paper and ribbons. Then I stamped the images with Memento ink and cut with the Time for Tea die set. I added small liquid pearl accents on the sentiment cut outs.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and this week for our new Clearly Whimsy Stamps release!

Hi everyone and welcome to DAY 2 of the ...

This week we are releasing 6 new clear stamp sets and 6 coordinating die/die sets, and they will be available to buy from the Whimsy Stamps store and all good Whimsy Stamps retailers from TOMORROW. Yesterday we introduced HAPPY EVERYTHING and DISTRESSED BACKGROUND AND INK SPLATS, and today we are excited to introduce you to SMARTY PANTS and SCHOOL SPIRIT stamp sets and dies! Hop on over to the Whimsy blog to take a peek at the new products.


For my cards, I used the School Spirit stamp set and the Distressed Background with Ink Splats.



 Both of these cards were stamped using various Memento inks. I created these for my kids to give to their teachers at the end of the school year. These stamps are perfect for all those school related projects!

Happy Everything

Hi everyone and welcome to the first sneak peek day of the ...

Over the next 3 days we will reveal the new June 2014 Clearly Whimsy Stamps products. We are releasing 6 new clear stamp sets and 6 coordinating die/die sets this week, and they will be available to buy from the Whimsy Stamps store and selected Whimsy Stamps retailers on Saturday. This month we are thrilled to welcome Jen Carter and Becky Carafa as our Guest Designers. Jen and Becky will be joining us for our 3 day release event and sharing their wonderful creations featuring our June release. Welcome girls! Today we are revealing the HAPPY EVERYTHING 4x6 stamp set together with its coordinating die sets, PLUS the DISTRESSED BACKGROUNDS AND INK SPLATS 4x6 stamp set. Hop on over to the Whimsy blog for more details.


For my first card, I used the stamp set Happy Everything and the Party Time Die set. This stamp set has lots of options for creating your cards and the dies coordinate perfectly.


I stamped the celebrate word stamp using Memento Lady Bug, Lilac Posies, and Tangelo in alternating rows. Then I stamped the balloons and used the dies to cut out two of the stamps and used Olba glue to pop those up. Then I stamped the balloon strings.

This card fits the challenge at CAS Sunday of Birthdays.

And for this card I have used the Distressed Background and Ink Splats along with the already released stamp set Happy Hello. The sentiment is from a new set that will be revealed tomorrow. ;)


Again, I have used Memento inks, this time in the Tuxedo Black, Bahama Blue, Pear Tart, and Dandelion colors. I've randomly stamped the circles, stars, and the background images to create this fun card for my son's 5th grade graduation.
