Clearly Whimsy Stamps: Day 1


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



Over the next 3 days myself and the rest of the CWS design team will reveal the new April 2014 Clearly Whimsy Stamps products. Whimsy is releasing 9 new clear stamp sets and 8 coordinating die/die sets this week, and they will be available to buy from the Whimsy Stamps store and all good Whimsy Stamps retailers from Wednesday (23 April). 

 This month we are thrilled to welcome Pop’s Morfitt as our Guest Designer. Pop’s will be joining us for the entire 3 day release event and sharing her wonderful creations featuring our April release. Welcome Pop’s! Today we are revealing the COFFEE BREAK 4x6 and 3x4 stamp sets together with their coordinating die set, PLUS the HAPPY HELLO 4x6 stamp set and coordinating Hello large word die. Hop on over to the Whimsy blog to take a peek at t he new products. 

 For my card, I used the Coffee Break stamps and dies.  I was inspired by a post by Maile Belles for my divided panels layout......you can check out her post HERE.  This was a fun way to break up the stamped paper to add in a sentiment!

My coffee cup was die cut with the coordinating dies.  My cozy was stamped and paper pieced over my cup and a heart was added for dimension.  I coated the heart with Glossy Accents and sprinkled some charcoal gray glitter while it was wet.
