Burst of Colors

Hello All! Two more samples showcasing the NEW Coverplate die Happy Birthday. On the first card I combined the new coverplate die with the NEW Ancient Days Club clear stamp set. I decided to make it a shaker card to add some dimension and bling. The NEW Coverplate Happy Birthday die is ideal for a shaker card or partial shaker card. So versatile, there are so many options with this die. 💕 I colored the images using Caran D'Ache Luminance pencils. On my second card I die cut the Happy Birthday coverplate from dark blue glitter cardstock and adhered it on a gel press background from my stash. This makes for a really fast card. However the background and glitter die cut add enough interest and dimension to the card so that it doesn't look boring.  Hugs,

Hey Friends! Here comes my last card for November. Wow, I can't believe tomorrow's the first day of December already...where did this year go??? Isn't this a fun snow globe scene? I used several products from recent releases to create my card. Here is a list of all the Whimsy stuff I used on my project:  Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

Hey All!  We are still here and we've been VERY lucky and pulled through this horrible storm with little to no damage, thank God! My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who had to deal with this monster Hurricane and hasn't been that lucky or are still feeling Ian's effects as it makes its way up the Atlantic coast.  I am sharing two cards today, a Halloween slimline project and a Christmas card. This is one of my favorite Halloween creations I made this year so far. Whimsy Stamps has the best Halloween stamps and dies and with only little effort you can make an awesome Halloween creation. I used the NEW ATC Halloween Scene clear stamps set together with previously released Halloween dies (see link list below). There is no coloring required to make this card. Just stamping with black ink onto colored cardstock and die cutting from black, purple and silver cardstock. Next up is a Christmas card using the NEW Dungeon Door red rubber stamp and Cat Do Christmas c

Happy Weekend All! On my first card for today I have a super cute Christmas image to share from Crissys NEW Cat Do Christmas clear stamp set for  Whimsy  Stamps . My second project uses the NEW Boing! Word & Shadow die set on a quick comic style card. Isn't she just adorable?💖 Looooove her! I colored the kitty using my new Tim Holtz water color pencils. I wanted to give them a try for coloring but I think I don't like them to much for this. They are quite chalky and I do not like the effect for coloring purposes. I haven't tried them otherwise yet but I think they might be much better for backgrounds, stencils and mixed media. So far I have to say I am not overly excited about these. But that might change once I tried them in different ways.  The background on this card is created using one of the Toner Terror 1 A2 Card Fronts with a 'Mystic Rainbow' foil transer sheet. The frames I used are from the Mitered Frames die set. Next up is my comic sty

Hey Witch - Happy Halloween! This cutie patootie witch is from one of the new clear stamps sets by Crissy. You can find them in the Whimsy store here. I colored her with Derwent Inktense pencils and used my waterbrush. The background was created using Distress Oxide inks and water.  Here are the Whimsy products used to create my card:   Hugs,

Happy Monday Evening! Isn't this adorable little dragon just super cute? He is from Crissy's newest set called Wizard in Training and available in the store here . I wanted to keep the card as simple as possible not add too many layers so I stamped directly on the card base. I colored the little dragon with Copics. I also added stars and the moon. These stamps are included in the set as well. Just the dragon and stamped stars was a little too CAS for my taste after all so I added some die cut glitter clouds and stars. The smaller of the clouds was used to stamp my sentiment on. I used printable glitter paper so stamping on the glittery surface was not a problem. This way it is still a CAS card but not as plain as a one layer card. Much more to my liking. A few little gems finish off my card.  Whimsy products used: Thanks for stopping by and have a good start into the week!

Happy Sunday Crafters! I wanted to share this cute little mini slim card with you before enjoying the rest of my Sunday. It showcases this adorable little dog image from the Doggie Fun Times clear set by Crissy Armstrong. I colored this cutie with my Karin Brushmarkers Pro and a waterbrush.

Happy Saturday! Here is my last card for this month. Again I am using some of the cute monsters from the Monster Moods clear set released earlier this month.  I made a mini slimline card combining the monsters with several other newly released products.  You will find a list of products used below. I colored these cuties with Ohuhu markers but unfortunately I did not write down the colors I used. I am getting asked often about the color combinations but most of the time I don't write them down. I apologize but it's mostly a time issue. I'll try to get better at this and make more notes about my color combinations 😀 Whimsy Stamps products used: Happy card making!
