Blimey Pirates!

Hello crafty friends! It's another Whimsy Stamps release today and it's all about Pirates! On my card I am showcasing both,  the NEW Blimey Pirates clear stamp set and matching NEW Blimey Pirates Outline Dies. They are both available now in the STORE. Please scroll down for all products links.

I used Distress Oxide inks, masking paper, blending brushes and a water spritzer to create my background. I stamped the images onto Strathmore Mixed Media paper with a hybrid ink. I colored with waterbased markers as well as alcohol markers. After die cutting the images with the matching outline dies I adhered them using foam tape. I stamped the sentiment with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and added a few glossy black sequins from This Calls for Confetti.

Let's Go Team!

It's the first of August and that means it's time for a Whimsy release! I am showcasing several of the new products on my card! You'll find all the new products in the store HERE.

On my A2 sized card I used the NEW Pink Plaids 6x6 papers to create my background. I combined the NEW Cheerleaders die set with the NEW Let's Play Sports clear stamp set as my focal points. The extra  separate pom pom dies make it easy to customize your die cuts. I opted for white glitter paper to add some bling to my card. You could also customize them to match your favorite sports or school team. A few matching sequins from 'This Calls For Confetti' finish off my card.

Welcome Baby

Hey Crafty Friends! On my card today I am showcasing a super cute stamp set illustrated by Crissy Armstrong and available @ Whimsy Stamps. It's called Critter Babies.

My cardbase is A2 size from kraft cardstock. I applied a watercolor wash on mixed media paper using Kitsch Flamingo Distress Refill Ink. The images were colored using Stabilo Pen 68 Brush Pens. I mounted the images onto glitter cloud which I die cut from white glitter paper using the NEW Ripples Die Set. I wrapped burlap twine around the background layer and adhered the glitter cloud with a cloth pin. To give more stability to the images I also added some foam tape underneath. The sentiment was partly stamped onto the background layer and also white cardstock and cut out using the Simple Sentiment Strips. Sequins and Crystals used to embellish my card can all be found @ This Calls For Confetti.

Florida Love

It's June 1st and that means it is release time at Whimsy Stamps. The new products hit the shelves at midnight. On my project today I am showcasing four of the new products.

It's all about Florida - my home state 💖 Also called The Sunshine State 🌞. We are the southeasternmost state and have the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other. This means hundreds of miles of beautiful beaches 🏄 and a subtropical climate. Manatees, Sea Turtles, Alligators, Dolphins, Panthers, Black Bears and many more, all call Florida their home. As well as an abundance of tropical flora. 
So on my card today I showcase a few of Florida's landmarks - the manatee, the sea turtle, the hibiscus blossom and tropical foliage. In the background you can see the states shape with the name inlayed. 

All created using the newest Whimsy products. Please see below for a product link list.

Hugs,

Hello Imagination and a Beachy Scene

Happy TGIF and Hello Imagination! No creativity without imagination - these two belong together. Imagination gives my brain a booster to be creative in many ways and come up with all sorts of creative ideas. Did you know that passive activities like reading can be a trigger for more creativity and simple everyday tasks like walking and cooking usually calm our brain and can boost imagination. 

To create this card I used the NEW Woolly Bear Kids - Imagination clear stamp set by Barbara Sproatmeyer, exclusively available from Whimsy Stamps. I combined it with the SL Gullivers Garden papers and the Hello Word and Shadow die set. To finish up my card I've added some glitter glue and Wheat Sparkle Gems from This Calls for Confetti.

On my second card I used the NEW Seashells and Sunshine rubber stamp which I colored using Karin Brush Marker Pro.

The sentiment is from the NEW Special Day clear stamp set. To embellish my card I've added some Stickles glitter glue 'Stardust' , burlap string and a shell charm.

Happy Sunday! Here is some more inspiration from Whimsy's newest release showcasing the newest military dies in the collection.

I opted for a slimline card and it is (besides the little sentiment) a dies-only card. I also used the Slimline Military Papers to cut out some of the clothes parts of the NEW Military Profiles.

Thanks for your visit!

Proud Female Veteran

Hello all! Today I am sharing another creation using new products from Whimsy's earlier release this month. With this release Whimsy is celebrating all military heroes and sheroes. 
You'll find all products HERE! on the Whimsy Stamps website.

Thanks for stopping by!

You Are A SHERO!

Hi Everyone! My apologies for being MIA for over a month. Some personal things threw me off my path kept me from creating. But I am very happy to be back now and right in time for Whimsy Stamps April 1st release. 

With this release we celebrate all the heroes and especially the sheroes in the military and veterans as well. I have used several of the new products on my card. For a link list of all products used please scroll down. 

I used black and kraft cardstock together with the NEW Slimline Military Papers and NEW Military Sheroes Die Set to create the layers on my card. With the NEW Military Sheroes clear stamp set I added accents directly to the designer paper as well as kraft cardstock.
I love to incorporate earlier released products into my new release creations and this time the Military die set was perfect to finish off my card with some die cut embellishments - the tags and star.
