Hello and welcome to the Whimsy Stamps
August new rubber stamps and dies release BLOG HOP!
On August 10th, Whimsy Stamps released our August rubber designs and new dies. Today we are hosting a blog hop to celebrate this release and to share creations made using these 15 fabulous new
Rubber Stamps and 3 wonderful new
Shapeology Dies. These new goodies are available to buy right now from the
Whimsy Stamps store along with all your Whimsy favourites. We also have our wonderful special guests joining us for this hop -
Elaine Hughes,
Zoe McGrath,
Alberto Gava and
Iwona "Chupa" Palamountain.
The Whimsy Stamps DT have been showcasing these fabulous stamps for the past 6 days, so if you missed them be sure to hop on over to the
Whimsy Inspirations Blog for some more inspiration!
Here is a full list of the wonderful new August release rubber stamps and dies:
Today is also the release of the
second issue of the
Whimsy Stamps Inspirations Magazine! The magazine features never before seen samples and tutorials from our DT members as well as some creations from our customers and fans too! This issue is crammed full of crafty goodness and best of all it's
FREE! Just click the link below and you will be taken to the magazine where you can read it online or download it and save to your computer.
The hop starts today (Wednesday August 17th at noon EST) and ends on
Wednesday August 24th at noon EST.
For this hop we have 7 different prize draws! We have not one but
TWO grand prize draws, so two lucky hoppers will win a large selection of new release stamps.
Grand Prize 1 will be for those who help us advertise the hop, and
Grand Prize 2 will be for those who hop along with us. We also have 5
mini candy stops throughout the hop where you can enter to win a new release stamp!
I'm one of those prize draws! I'm giving away the
Retro Bottle Cap Sentiments set pictured below. I may be biased, but I really like this set. The words are so fun and really remind me of good ol' soda pop bottles :)

Now, on to my creation for the hop! I almost didn't have a creation today! I don't know what I would have done, maybe just do a digital version of a card or something, haha. The magazine took up more time than I thought and of course, being the procrastinator that I am, I was scrambling to take care of things at the last minute. It's a rather simple card, though the coloring does look better in the person. I couldn't take a decent picture at all!
And and of course it'd probably be helpful if I mentioned the stamps, right? For this card, I used
Buggin' Drummer from KennyK and the
Film Marker Sentiments.
