Whimsy Stamp's November Release!

Hello friends!

I have a new card using lots of new goodies from Whimsy Stamps! The stamp set is called, No Peeking.   It was colored with Copic markers.  I used the Comic Half-Tone stencil to add a bit of interest behind my image. The image and the card itself were cut out using the Stained Glass Window Die. 

I added a bit of holly to the top from the FaDoodle Holly stamp set.  I added a bit of glitter and red pom poms. The paper is part of the Christmas Eve paper pack.

Reindeer Ornament

So did you go straight from Halloween to Christmas? Or do you decorate for Thanksgiving?

As much as I wanted to get my Christmas decor up, I did end up putting my Thanksgiving stuff up first.  It is a season to be grateful and pause for a bit. So I put the brakes on.  (Although Hallmark has been going strong in my craft room!) LOL

Today I have an ornament to share.  I used Whimsy Stamp's Tattered Christmas stamp set. 

I stamped it on the wooden disc with a juicy Versamark ink and sprinkled it with a distressed dark brown embossing powder.  The effect wasn't perfect but I think it lent itself to the whole shabby look of it.  

The image was colored with Copic markers.  I added a bit of texture paste to the antlers, rhinestone for Rudolph's nose, and a teeny jingle bell around his neck.  As a final touch, I added some white gel pen "snow." 

I hope you enjoyed this super easy to make ornament!

Happy Holidays!

Hello friends!

I have officially started my Christmas cards for the season! I used Whimsy Stamp's Slimline Pines set. I stamped the image in a brown ink and went over the "greenery" with a Green Copic marker.  I stamped the sentiment in black.  The edges were given a bit of color using Tim Holtz' Slavaged Patina Oxide ink. I splattered additional ink with water and a paint brush.  

Each pine cone was given a bit of texture paste.  I used a small paint brush to apply it.  While it was still wet, I sprinkled glitter over it to give the appearance of snow. 

The background is a combination of vintage music paper and an embossed panel using the new Sweater Embossing Folder.  I tied a couple of jingle bells to the panel with twine, and added a few clear drops to finish off the card.

Whimsy's New Release!

Hello my crafty friends! I hope you had a wonderful Halloween weekend!

Cortney was home all weekend and we carved pumpkins with my sister and her family. 

The weather was great and my heart was full. 💗

Today is Whimsy Stamp's November release and it has so many fantastic stamps sets and dies! I used the new Santa Sneaking die set.  It just cracks me up! Santa stuck in the chimney and Rudolph tip toeing on the roof! I added glossy accents and glitter to the snow. The house was given a bit of dimension with Texture paste and the Brick Stencil.

I used the Believe Word and Shadow die in black and white card stock.  I popped everything onto the new Christmas Eve Paper.  The sentiment is from last month's ATC Sleigh Ride set. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Trick-or-Treat!

It is hard to believe that it is Halloween already! I have one last card to share with you for Halloween using the adorable, I Want Candy stamp set! (From Whimsy Stamps)

I stamped the images on kraft card stock with a no line coloring ink. I used my Polychromo pencils to color them in.  I filled in the empty spaces with the tiny bats and black ink from the Happy Pugoween set. 

The sentiment was stamped on black paper and embossed in white.  It is part of the Trick or Treat House set.   I added sheer ribbon along with a plastic spider.  

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Vintage Halloween

Happy Weekend!

So glad it is Saturday and I have a couple of days of to decompress.  

Teaching school this year is pretty interesting. Still Zooming, still teaching some kids in person and some at home. Crazy times we live in.

Thank goodness for family and stamping.  ;)

I used the FaDoodle Fall stamp in waterproof ink on water color paper. I used Karin Brushmarkers to color my pumpkins and such. The black panel behind the image was cut using the Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die. I pulled out some vintage sheet music and my very dusty sewing machine. I adhered everything with Crafty Foam Tape. I also added a bit of glitter under the sentiment. 

I wanted a few hearts so I used a few from the Sweetheart Sprinkletz collection.  I colored them black with a Copic marker before adhering them.

I am so glad you stopped by! Be sure to pop on over to Whimsy Stamps to see all of their new products! 

Have a great weekend!

 

31 Night of Halloween!

Hello friends! It's Michele here with another fun Halloween card to share! I absolutely love, love, love this Slimline Hourglass Die! It is the perfect backdrop for all of your spooky Halloween goodness! The "Glass" was cut out with vellum.  I cut the "sand" using orange card stock and used the Halloween Expressions Stencil to fill it in.  I added spiders and webs from Whimsy's new die set.  I applied crackle paste over my spider and let it do its magic.  Once dry, I rubbed black ink over it.  

I added the EEK! Word and Shadow Die and a few spider sequins, from the Sparkletz-Creepy collection,  to finish off the card. 

Thank you so much for stopping by on Day 19! :)
