Embrace Your Weirdness

Hey Crafty Friends! Before the newest Whimsy release will go live at midnight I have two more cards to share from the February release.

My first one has a Mixed Media touch to it. I used the So Weird clear stamp set together with earlier released products. All products I've used are listed below including links. 

I started out with a kraft cardstock panel. First I've added white paint to distress the cardstock panel a bit. Then I started adding texture with the Harlequin stencil, texture paste and distress crayons. I also added scribbles and doodles using the Mixed Media Bits stamp set with black ink and a golden marker. Finally I've added golden, white and black splatters to the background. I distressed the pink Polaroid die-cut also with white paint, added a stamped doodle and brick wall also from the Mixed Media Bits stamp set. The focal point is the crow image from the So Weird stamp set which I stamped onto kraft cardstock and cut out using the Frame Labels die set. This time I distressed the label with white paint and pink distress crayon. The crow image was also stamped in a lighter tone on the background panel.
The sentiment is from the So Weird stamp set. Only embellishment is a decorative paperclip that finishes off my card. 


On my second card I used the Floral Stairway stamp again. This time I only colored the flowers and left everything else black and white. I simple sentiment and some confetti sequins finishing off my card.

Make sure to come back for the newest March release which will go live in the Whimsy Store at midnight!

Normal is Boring!

Hey folks! Here is a fun card I made with products from Whimsy Stamps February release. 



I stamped these cute NEW 'So Weird' animals with different colors of ink onto mixed media paper. I colored them and cut them out.
Then I used the Harlequin Stencil and a pink ink to create some texture on my card base.
I cut out the Weird-O frame from black cardstock. The dots that are included with the Weird-O frame set were cut out from shiny pink cardstock. The sentiment and frame are from the NEW Handmade Weirdo clear stamp set. I layered and glued all parts onto the front of my cardbase and used the shiny cut out dots as embellishments.

Happy Birthday To You Friend

Happy Saturday! Today I want to share a birthday card I made using the fabulous Cupcake dies and Fun with Words 1 die set from Whimsy's January release as well as the previously released Happy Birthday Coverplate die.



My card base is a bright blue A2 top-fold card. To make the Happy Birthday Coverplate pop I cut it out from black cardstock. This is a fairly quick card to make. I cut out the cupcakes from different colored cardstock using the NEW Cupcake dies. Then I cut out the word friend with the also NEW Fun with Words die set. Instead of sequins I used a few different sized, die cut hearts that are included with the Cupcake dies set as well as the Fun with Words 1 die set.

Gnome Wishes - More Quick Card Inspiration

Hey there! I have two more cards to share using Whimsy Stamps Quick Card Fronts. Today I am showcasing the brand new Gnome Wishes Quick Card Fronts.

For my first card I opted for a green card base and a white frame cut out using the Rectangle Shaker Maker die set. I also used the heart dies included with the NEW Cupcake die to create the clover. Finally I cut out one of the included sentiments with one of the Simple Sentiment Strip dies.



My second card uses a lime green card base. I then added the Quick Card Front sheet right onto the base. I used the NEW Cupcake die set and  Simple Sentiment Strip dies again. To emphasize the gnome image and add more 3D effect I cut out the Twinkle Scribble die from lime green cardstock and placed it around the gnome. A few sparkle crystals and star cut outs finish off this quick card.

Chocolate Sweetheart - A Quick Card

Hello Everyone! Whimsy Stamps Quick Card Fronts are making creating cards easy, fast & fun! We are all busy and even as an avid card maker I don't have always the time to make elaborate cards when I need one. Or can take the time to color images. This is when Whimsy's Quick Card Fronts come in quite handy. They come in  A2 (5.5" x 4.25") size. printed on high-quality papers and toner cards. Each pack includes 8 sheets of full color designs along with 2 sheets of complementing sentiments for a total of 10 sheets per pack.


For my card I used one sheet of the Chocolate Sweetheart Quick Card Fronts. I used the Connected Hearts Frame die to create a die cut shadow effect. I die cut the included sentiment using the NEW Quick Stacks 1 die. A few sequins and sparkle gems finish off this quick card.

Yipee! - More January Release Inspiration!

Hi All! I have a fun card to share with you today! Again I used several products from January's release on my A2 sized creation. All new Whimsy products can be found HERE in the store.



The adorable image from Krista's NEW Polar Bear Birthday clear stamp set was colored with Stabilo Pen 68 waterbased markers (colors used: 11,46,47,49,58,59,87,95). I used the New Polaroid die as a frame to create a shaker element. This new die is very versatile and can be used as slimline die or it can be easily cut or folded and stacked. This way you do not have to die cut it several times. Just cut or fold on the score lines. Or just use one or more of the frames as singles. A real time saver!
The NEW Fun With Words die set coordinates perfectly with the NEW Polaroid die.
For my background panel I used a sheet of the previously released Blurry Flurries 6x6 paper pack and cut it out using the also previously released Extreme Postage die set.
The shaker card filling is from This Calls For Confetti!

For my Valentine!

Hello crafty friends! I am back here on my blog after a short brake. I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday season and a good start into the new year!
Isn't it crazy that we are half into January already? A new year, also means a new Whimsy release schedule. We are now having a release once a month each month on the 15th. Our very popular Quick Card Fronts will be released on the 1st of each month.

So and without further ado here is my first card inspiration for you using several of the new released products. All new products used for my card are available in the store HERE!



I used an A2 sized top-folded white card base for my new release creation. The BG paper is a sheet of the NEW 6x6 Chocolate Caramel Coffee paper pack. I then used a die from a previous release, called Loopidoos 2, to create another layer before adding my focal point images. 
The cupcake is cut out using the NEW Cupcake die set. The super cute Donkey is from Crissy's new clear stamp set NEW Donkey Love
I colored the image using Derwent Chroma Flow pencils (on Strathmore Mixed Media paper). 
The sentiment which is included with the clear stamp set was stamped onto white heavy cardstock and cut out using the NEW Quick Stacks 1 die set. I cut the sentiment strips apart after die cutting and layered them on top of each other for a 3D look. Instead of cutting you can also fan fold them. They already have score lines after die cutting. Using a bone folder helps to get crisp edges when folding. I personally prefer the cut and layer technique. 
There are also some small heart stamps included in the donkey Love set. I used these to add texture on my background panel and sentiment strip. A few matching pink confetti sequins and crystals from This Calls for Confetti finish off my card.


Here is a link list for all Whimsy Stamps products used on my card:

Harlequin Stencil

Hey Peeps! I have another card I want to share with you today. It is a mixed media style card where I use the NEW Harlequin Stencil from Whimsy Stamps in combination with other recently released products.



To create my background I used the NEW Harlequin Stencil and Distress Oxide inks in Carved Pumpkin and Seedles Preserves. I added more texture to my BG using the Mixed Media Bits clear stamp set and pigment ink in gray, black and gold as well as red distress crayons. More details were added with a gold, black and white paint pen.

Grumpin Punkin!

Hello Friends! Another Whimsy Stamps Halloween release just hit the shelves a few days ago! Here is my inspiration using the NEW Grumpin Punkins stamp set.



I colored the pumpkins using alcohol markers and then fussy cut them. I combined the NEW Grumpin Punkins with the Connected Bubbles die and made one of the bubbles a shaker element.
The shaker bubble and filling for the shaker element is made using several products from This Calls for Confetti. The round shaker pouch from TCFC fits perfectly in the bubble from the Connected Bubbles die!
I decorated my card using bats from the Batty die set and small pumpkins from the Pumpkins and Mini Jacks die set (cut from glitter cardstock). 
I also added texture using cheese cloth pieces which I dyed with distress inks to fit my color scheme.

Please find below a list off all Whimsy Stamps and This Calls For Confetti products used.
