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!

 

Whimsy's New Release!

Good morning friends!

I have a card to share with you using Whimsy's new Primitive Sheep Die Set.  I used liquid applique on the bodies to give it that fluffy dimensional look. I also used the new Colonial America papers. I machine stitched the papers and added a circle cut out to create a sort of frame for my sheep.  I added to the sentiment using the Bold ABC Die set to add a touch of whimsy. :)

These sheep!!! LOVE!!

Thanks so much for stopping friends!!

 

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? ;)

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!!

Halloween!

Hello friends!

I have a couple of Halloween cards to share with you using some new (and old) products from Whimsy Stamps.  My first card uses the new Halloween Garland Rub ons.  These are so much fun and super easy and quick! I used each one on a strip of paper, added some ribbon and a skull from Dracula's Coffin Die set. 

My second card was created for a recent Instagram Hop.  It uses the Halloween Scarecrow Die.  I colored the image with Copics and added glossy accents to the word to create a dramatic effect. I used paper from the 6 x 6 Nevermore collection.  

Thank you for stopping by!

 

Joy!

Hello friends!

I have a quick post today sharing some new papers and new die cut from Whimsy Stamps. I used the new paper, Chilling Christmas and cut it into 1/2 inch strips.  I added a light blue panel in the center and cut the word from the Joy Word Die set.  I added glossy accents to each letter and sprinkled it with glitter. A ribbon and jingle bells were added as a finishing touch! 

Enjoy your day!

 

Vintage Joy!

Hello!

I have a quick post today sharing a card I created using new papers and dies from Whimsy Stamps.  I used the Joy Word Die with red card stock and stamped it with small snowflakes. I added some texture paste and glitter to give it a snowy look.  The papers are from the new 6 x 6 Chilling Christmas paper pack.   I used the larger holly leaves from the Holly Frame Die to frame my word. They were water colored and I added some glass glitter to their edges. 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

 

Christmas in July!

Hello friends!

Hubby and I just got back from a trip to Bar Harbor, Maine, & Boston, Massachusetts.  Such a fun trip, although a bit hot! 

Hard to believe that Christmas is around the corner, and what better way to get a jump start than with Whimsy Stamp's new Christmas in the Woods stamps. These darling critters are so much fun to color! I used Copics to color him in.  I used liquid applique for his hat, sprinkled glitter on it, and when it was dry I used my heat embosser to make it puffy. 

The paper in the background is part of the new 6 x 6 papers called, Chilling Christmas.  (It has a Nightmare Before Christmas vibe). The Holly Frame was used for the base of the card. I added a bit of string, some posies, and some green holly.
