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!

Get Your Spook On!

As if this year hasn't been crazy enough, the Chicago land area got hit with horrible storms yesterday! A tornado in downtown Chicago? Crazy!

Our home survived with minimal water in the basement, so I am counting ourselves very lucky.

Today's card is part of  Whimsy Stamp's August 10th release.  It is called, Spooktacular. Such a fun Halloween set! I couldn't choose which ghost I wanted, so I used all of them!

Everything was colored with Copics. I added glossy accents to the eyes, and Stickles to the pumpkins.

I also used the new Slimline Stars Background Die.  I inked up the paper first and splattered it with white acrylic paint.  Then I used the die.  I saved all of the stars for future projects too! I created a shaker card using acetate and the Boo Sparkletz.  

Thank you for stopping today! I always love your visits!

Whimsy Stamp's August Release!

Hello friends!

Whew! What a week it has been!  My computer of 9 years finally kicked the bucket and I had to order a new one, which is why I haven't posted anything this past week. (Boo!) I also had to have oral surgery to investigate a cyst that was under my gum line.  Long story short, they investigated a bit and decided to do another X-ray in 6 mos.  So it has been a bit of a crazy week!

Anywho, today is Whimsy Stamp's new August release, and I got to work with this adorable new set, Fairy Dreams. I colored these cuties with Copic markers and fussy cut them.  

I used various Tim Holtz inks for the background and used the new Slimline Stars Background die.  I backed it with silver glittery paper.  I adhered the girls with Crafty Foam Tape.  I added the sentiment and Crystal Stars from the Sparkletz collection.  

Thank you for stopping by! I am so glad I got to be part of your day! :)

Whimsy's Release Day!

Happy Saturday!

Today is Whimsy Stamp's release day!

I am excited to share this adorable new set called, Happy Hamsters. It seems like most families, at some point, allow their kids to have one right? We had them for awhile.  Had all the toys, the little "play pen" and such.  But we also know they are all little escape artists! You know where I am going with this story.....

Anyway, I stamped each image with a no line coloring ink and colored them with Copics.  I used the coordinating dies to cut out each image. (YAY! for coordinating dies!!)

For the background I used water color paper, a diamond stencil and Tim Holtz inks. I used the new  Slimline Bunting Borders die to make it look more festive. I adhered everything to the water colored panel. I stamped the sentiment on black card stock with Versamark ink and embossed it in white.  I popped up the sentiment and some of the balloons with Crafty Foam Tape.  I added tiny hearts from the Sweetheart Sprinkletz collection.  I had some of these round confetti pieces from my stash as well as the pearls. 

Be sure to pop on over to the Whimsy store to see ALL of their brand new releases! Each one is cuter than the next!

Have a great weekend friends!

Super Puppy Power!

Howdy friends!

I have a fun card to share today using Whimsy Stamp's Super Dogs set. I colored this cutie with Copic markers and colored the background with Copics as well.  I used the Comic Half-Tone Stencil and alcohol ink to create a subtle texture to the background. 

I stamped the sentiment with Versamark ink and embossed it in white.  I added some gold star stickers from my stash. I added gold cording at the top as a finishing touch. 

Be sure to check back tomorrow for Whimsy's new product release! You are going to love all the new stuff!! :)

Water Colors on Black Paper!

Hello friends!

Just a quick post today to share with you!

I had been wanting to use my new Karin Brushmarker Metallics and decided they would look super cool on black paper.  This first card was my first attempt.  Not my favorite, as my colors got a bit muddled. I used Whimsy Stamp's Beaucoup Bouquet with Versamark Ink. I colored everything using Karin DecoBrush Metallic Set.

I 

I thought my second attempt was a bit better.  I added a bit more water to make the colors more transparent. When my card was finished I stamped the sentiment from the Bold Sentiment's set in Versamark and embossed it in white. 

Have a great day!
