Halloween Expressions

Good morning and happy Saturday to you!

I have another card sharing Whimsy Stamp's newest release, Halloween Expressions Stencil.  I first inked up a square panel of card stock measuring 3.5 x 3.5 with Tim Holtz inks.  I splattered it with a bit of water to add a bit of texture.  Once it was dry, I stamped the Jack O'Lanterns in black Memento ink. I wanted to fill in some of the empty spaces so I used the new Halloween Postage set.  It has the cutest little Halloween images!

I took a white gel pen and colored inside the word, Boo.  I added orange rhinestones for the eyes.  The image was layered over a piece of purple paper from the 6x6 Cosmic Paper Pack. 

Have a wonderful weekend friends!

Don't Look Under Your Bed!!

Hello friends! 

Today is a great day because, one, it is my 49th birthday and two, it is Whimsy Stamp's September release! I think I am more excited about Whimsy's release.  ;) 

I used the new Creepy Clown set.  I stamped and masked the image and stamped the Burst Background stamp directly over image.  I peeled the mask away and colored it with Copic Markers.  I added white gel pen highlights and glossy accents to his eyes and nose.  

The sentiment was stamped with Versamark Ink and embossed in white. I added a fuzzy twine to finish it off.  

Thank you for stopping by!

Whimsy's September Release!

Hello friends!

So hard to believe that it is September 1st already!  I am excited to share that Whimsy Stamps has their brand new release of Halloween goodies today! 

I used the adorable, Build a Graveyard set using gray and black paper. I stamped the cracks in the tombstones and the epitaphs from the new Grave Epitaphs stamp set. I love making treat bags for my colleagues at school, so I wrapped a piece of the Sugar Skull paper around the glassine bag. 

I adhered everything to the bags and glued a few gems and lil' ghosties from the Sparkletz Boo collection.  Fill up those bags with candy and you have a "hauntingly" good treat! ;)

Have a great day!

Instagram Hop!

Hello friends! 

Today Whimsy Stamps is hosting a fun Instagram hop! (There are prizes too!) Be sure to head on over to my Instagram page to check out all of the fabulous projects! So many fun ideas!

I used the new Spooktacular Stamp set. I colored each of the cutie pie ghosts (I love cute Halloween, not scary Halloween!) with Copic markers. Could the ghost taking a selfie be any cuter? ;)  I also used the Slimline Film Strip Die for the background.  The stars were the negative space using the Slimline Stars Background die. I added the teeny bats from the Sparkletz Boo collection.

Dia de Muertos

Hello! 

I hope you are having a fantastic weekend!

I have two cards to share with you today using Whimsy Stamp's new August release products! I adore this new set, Skull Cuties. I colored the images with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies.  For both cards I used the Sugar Skulls 6 x 6 paper pad.  For this first card I wanted my girl to stand out a bit, so I used the Connected Oval Frame Die and silver glittery paper. I added a black silk bow and found these fun tassels in my stash.  

For my second card I used quite a few of the pieces in the Skull Cuties set and used it with the Wonky Window die. I popped up the elements using Crafty Foam Tape.  I tied a white silk ribbon vertically to finish off the card. 

Thank you for stopping by today! Have a wonderful Sunday!

Halloween Release From Whimsy Stamps!

Hello everyone! 

I have just finished my first day of school. No students yet, just meetings, but it was so great seeing my colleagues after 5 months! Our district is implementing the hybrid model and fingers crossed it is successful! 

Today is Whimsy Stamp's Mini release! So many fun Halloween products! I used the new Boo Die set. I cut out the word, Boo, about 6 times from orange and black paper and stacked and glued them. The top layer was cut in white and colored in Copics.  I love the dimension that it gives the card!

For the background I used the new Day of the Dead Frame.  It was also colored in Copics.  I added red rhinestones to the skull and glossy accents to the flames.  This was such a fun card to make!

Be sure to hop on over to the Whimsy Store to see all of the other fun products that were released today! 

Have a great day!

Celebrate Panda Style!

Hello friends! I have a new card using Whimsy Stamp's Crittercorn set.  I colored this adorable panda with Copics.  I inked up the background and used a heart stencil for a subtle background. I added a few of the mushrooms from the set and adhered them with Crafty Foam Tape.  I added glitter (maybe a bit too much, lol) to the balloon star.  

I used the green heart paper from the Rainbow Paper Pack.  I added ribbon and a few more flowers from the Garden Party Sprinkletz collection. 

I am off to enjoy a round of golf with they hubby!

Have a great day!
