STAMPtember!

 Hello friends!

I am excited that today is the release of Whimsy Stamp's STAMPtember stamp set in collaboration with Simon Says Stamps! 

This stamp and die set are so fun!

I was so glad I had some crafty time and ended up making 3 cards. 

My first card used the Boo stamp and die. I used a jewelry tag for the sentiment and branches from the Bat Branch Die set.  They were colored with Copic markers.  I wanted some texture for the background, so I also used the Bats Galore Slimline folder.  

My second card uses these adorable ghosts with the Boo stamp and die set.  I added some tombstones from the Build a Graveyard die set.  Cobwebs from the Witch Broom set were stamped on the tombstones. I also added a circle for the moon. The background was inked with Distress inks.  

My last card I decided to make a fun shaker card! I used the Mitered Frame set and some acetate. This Boo was so cute with her little pink bow. ;) I added some pink sequin leaves and a sheer black ribbon. 

Be sure to check out Simon Says Stamp to get your exclusive set! 

It's been so much fun!

My project uses papers and die cuts from Whimsy Stamps and some awesome glow in the dark products from Studio Light. (Products linked below)

The frame and the jack-o-lanterns were painted with some glow in the dark paint. I used the glow in the dark foil and die cut it with a circle die to create the moon behind the witch. I think it looks so cool at night!

Couple of Halloween Cards!

Hi friends!

I have a couple of Halloween cards using Whimsy Stamps, to share today.  Life has been hectic and getting on my computer these days has been tricky.  So I will be playing a bit of "catch up" over the next week.  

My first card uses the Dreamland 2 Quick Card Fronts.  These images are so vibrant that not much is needed to create a card.  I did add a sentiment, twine, and a few bats from the Bat Branch Die Set.  It was a simple card and quick to put together!

My second card uses the BOOkeh papers and the Keyhole and Keys Die set.  I grunged it up with grit paste and rubbed it with a gold Distress Crayon.  The witch is part of the Witch Whispers Sister Die set.  I sprayed her with some mica stains (Tim Holtz) to give her some shimmer.  The sentiment is from the Scary Night die set.  I cut it out of red paper and inked the edges with black ink.  I gave it a coating of glossy accents.  

I always appreciate your visits and sweet comments.  Even when I am super neglectful of this blog of mine.  :) Thanks for hanging in there with me!

 

Nightmares

Hello!

I am not sure who comes here for visits anymore, but for those of you who still come by, I apologize for my lack of posts.  The beginning of the school year always seems to kick my butt.  I am exhausted by the evenings and haven't crafted a whole bunch.

I am finally getting back into some sort of routine.....and created this Halloween card.  It was fast and easy to make.  

I used Whimsy's new Dreamland papers and paired with with the Bat Branch Die set.   I added a sentiment and a bit of twine to finish off the card. 

Quick and easy, my kind of card!

 

Free Broom Rides

Hello and happy weekend everyone!

I have a CAS card using Whimsy Stamp's Witch Broom Sale stamp set.   The image was colored with Copic Markers.  I matted the image with white and purple card stock and stamped the sentiment below.  I added some fun ribbon and a couple of stars from my stash.  Quick and easy!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

 

Grunge Ghosts Take 2!

Hello!

My post have been few lately.  The beginning of the school year always kicks my butt!

Hopefully things start to wind down a bit and get into more of a routine. Needless to say, my crafting time has suffered. I love these Grunge Ghosts Quick Card panels. from Whimsy Stamps. I added Grit paste to the edges after shredding them a bit with scissors.  I added a silhouette of trees from the Haunted Graveyard Border Die.  I felt like my image needed an additional ghost, so I used one from the Boo Die Set.  I added some grungy hardware, mummy cloth, and a sentiment to finish off the card. 

Thank you for supporting my blog, it means so much to me!

 

Whimsy's New Release!

Hello friends!

Happy Labor Day for those of you in the USA!

Today is Whimsy Stamp's new release....and it is a fantastic one!

These new Quick Card Fronts, Grunge Ghosts, are absolutely over the top cool! I used scissors to distress the edges and added machine stitching. Lace peeks out from underneath. I framed out my ghost with the new Keyhole and Keys die set.  I added grit paste to the keys and key hole.  Once it was dry, I rubbed some gold Foundry Wax on top.  I used my heat gun to set it.  I stamped the sentiments, cut them into strips, and sprayed some Mica stains over the top. 

I tied everything together with twine and stained Mummy Cloth.  

Aren't those keys perfect? ;)

Be sure to pop by Whimsy Stamps to see the entire release!

Have a wonderful day!

 

Halloween in Pink!

Hello friends!

I have TWO cards to share with you today using the new set from Whimsy Stamps called, Doggies Halloween.  I stamped these cute pups and colored them with Copic Markers.  I wanted to match them to the new papers, Pink Autumn.  For the frame around the image, I used the Wonky Dots Frame Die set.  

For my finishing touches I added some mummy cloth that I had spritzed with Distress Sprays by Tim Holtz.  The pumpkin charms are about a hundred years old, (okay, not really, but I have had them in my stash a LONG time! ;)

Thank you for stopping by today!

 

Whimsy's New Release!

Hello friends! 

It's another fun release by Whimsy Stamps!

How cute is this Primitive Candy Corn die set?  ACK!!  I used Distress inks to add color and machine stitched the edges.  The little accessories, buttons, and "scars" are part of the set too! And don't even get me started on this new stamp set, Doggies Halloween.  A pirate pooch? C'mon! This cutie was colored with Copics and fussy cut out.  

I added mummy cloth to this one and machine stitched it to "match" my little Mummy Pup! 

This set is so much fun!!
