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.  
Be sure to pop by Whimsy to see the full release!

Merry Christmouse

Hello!
I have another card using the new Quick Card Fronts, Matchbox Mice.  I am not usually a fan of these critters in real life, but here, they are so sweet! I used some texture paste on the edges to give it a snowy effect.  I used the holly and the frame from the Holly Frame Die set.  Some ribbon and string finished off the card.  
Thank you for stopping by!

Christmas in July!

Hello friends!  It is hard to believe that this week is 4th of July already! Summer needs to slow down a bit! Because before you know it, it WILL be Christmas! So here's to Christmas in July. ;)
You already know how much I adore these Quick Card Fronts by Whimsy Stamps, and this one, Matchbox Mice, is no exception. These sweet little faces....
I cut the panel into three pieces, distressed them with ink and scissors.  Added a strip of red cardstock and placed the image on top.  I did some sewing, added white paint splatters, and used the holly leaves from the Holly Frame Die set.   I tied a little red jingle bell with a metal holly leaf to finish off the card. 
Thank you for stopping by today friends!
