I know a bunch of you are going to want this stamp set. It just got restocked in the Whimsy Online store. Better hurry, it has already sold out once.
I had fun designing this card utilizing my background stamps. You can find more details below.
Although this post is showcasing a new stamp set called Cocktails, from Whimsy stamps, I really want to talk about creating your own pattern paper. I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE to be able to grab a background stamp, and my favorite ink pad (Catherine Pooler Ink), and create a pattern paper that compliments my card. My favorite backgrounds are from Whimsy Stamps, and you can browse the selection HERE.
These 5.75 x 5.75 rubber stamps allow me to get a crisp image for so many size cards. Using the Catherine Pooler Ink pads allows for an even coverage of the stamp. It is a win, win situation.
I just thought I would put a little bug in your ear to go check out these backgrounds in order to make the perfect pattern paper for your cards. I find it easier then buying a lot of preprinted paper.
