Dot & Whimsy

This week's Stamp of the Week at 

is too sweet!  

Aside from cards, there are many cute ways to utilize this cutie!

Make a tag and tie onto a gift basket filled with things to make ice cream sundaes.

I recently pinned a good-looking recipe on Pinterest for a 

Pineapple Ginger Smoothie...copy some different 'shake' recipes and then 

wrap them up in a bow with a cut-out of this image attached to it.

Great little pick-me-ups to brighten someone's day :)

Here's my card:

I stamped onto grey cardstock, as well as white cardstock.  I attached the 

cup with foam dots and then colored in the pink areas before adding them over

the grey.  Lace oval die by Spellbinders.  Turquoise paper by Simple Stories SN@P

I was thinking styro-foam for the cup, so I glittered it with a fine iridescent glitter.  

The sweet heart pearl is by Doodlebug Design.

As you can see, for less than $6 per week, you can subscribe to a one-of-a-kind

red rubber stamp to be delivered to your mailbox!  Like to start with this stamp?

Unity Stamp Co.'s newest 

is now up and ready to be ordered!

After stamping the image onto textured cardstock, I very lightly shaded in

the bottles with a blue watercolor pencil and blended.  For the flowers, I used a 

combination of fine tip markers and watercolor pencils.  

To the edge of the paper, I distressed with a walnut ink and then

spritzed the top lightly with a  Gold Lame Iridescent Spritz by Heidi Swapp.

I placed the title onto foam dots and then attached as shown. 
Two layered buttons and scraps of paper doily with little stitchings
makes the card whimsical and feminine!

This post is dedicated to the last two Unity

Last week's SOTW

by the very talented Phyllis Harris

In deciding what colors to use on the stamped image, I first grabbed

the Howdy Doody Collection by My Mind's Eye.  I chose watercolor pencils

that matched the soft feel of the papers.  

Don't you just love this image?!?

You can see more examples using this stamp right here.

Okay, hang on to your seat.

I'm in total and complete L-O-V-E with this next stamp

by Joslyn Nelson

 eeeeehhhhh!

There's just something about minimalistic snowpeople :)

When I first started coloring in the image with bright Christmas-y colors

I immediately thought of the Merry & Bright Collection by My Mind's Eye.

It's the perfect match.

And I didn't think card...I thought mini-album!

Just makes you wanna S*M*I*L*E!

I have it listed at my Dot & Whimsy shop at Etsy.

This week's Unity Stamp of the Week is just a doll.

All that's missing is the strand of pearls :)

The image was stamped onto white cardstock, as well as a beautiful 

piece of patterned paper from October Afternoon's Woodland Park.

I used micro-tip scissors to carefully cut out the portions from the patterned paper

that I wanted to use on the main image.  I also accented the little details

in the apron with Zig Markers.  

Patterned Papers and Washi Tape by OA Woodland Park.

Time to share the newest 

I love the folk-artsy look of this week's stamp.

I've dressed it up in Pebbles' {Let Freedom Ring}

patterned papers.

The sentiment alone can be used for many occasions.  

If you love this stamp, be sure to grab it up before the week ends!

Have a wonderful brand new week

I'm a fussy-cutter.  I love stamping onto various patterns and cutting the images

out rather than coloring the images in.  This technique doesn't always work for 

every stamp, but for this particular stamp, it worked perfectly!

Isn't this the sweetest set of stamps?  Here's my card:

After stamping onto a light blue background, I water-colored the bird and 

then cut out into an oval shape.  I also stamped the image onto green so that I could

hand-cut the leaves out.  

Patterned paper: Basic Grey

The sentiment fits perfectly into the tag shape of the EK Success punch.
