Whimsy September Rubber Stamp and Die Release - Day 2



Welcome to Day 2 of our ... 
September Rubber Stamp and Die Release
Yesterday and over the next 2 days we will showcase 19*BRAND NEW* red rubber stamps/stamp sets, 3 new Clearly Whimsy clear sets, and 3 Shapeology Die Sets. All of these new products are available to buy from the Whimsy Stamps store and from selected Whimsy Stamps retailers. 
Today I am able to show you again 2 creations, one made with the new clear sets and on the other is made using a new rubber stamp

On my first card I used the adorable Christmas Bunny Stockings stamp from the Crissy Armstrong collection. I used quite bright and not so typical Christmmas colors and also kept the card clean and simple. The die used is the new Merry Large Word die. I colored with my Copics and the papers are from Bo Bunny / Candy Cane Lane Collection.


The second card is even simpler than the first. Again quite a bright turquoise was used for this one layer card. The Merry Large Word die was here used to cut out the word from white glitter card stock and the Christmas tree stamp is from the Oh Christmas Tree set. I stamped it with Versamark ink and embossed it with opaque white glitter embossing powder. A tiny matching rhinestone is the only embellishment.


Our design team members have been working hard on their creations featuring these new goodies. We hope you will hop along with us for a chance to win a Whimsy Gift Voucher. Each day, for the next 2 days, we will have a new blog hop, showcasing more of the new release items along with a new chance to win. 


PRIZE ALERT ... We have hidden a fabulous prize of a $15 GIFT CERTIFICATE at one of the stops on today’s hop! We will draw the lucky winner from the comments left here and on today’s design team posts (listed below), so be sure to visit everyone and leave a comment at every stop to be entered into the draw. See you again tomorrow for our final day of new release festivities!
