Enjoy - Have a cool day!

Hi Everyone! Here are two more of my Whimsy creations using products from an earlier release in  January.

On this one I used the super adorable Donkey Love clear stamp set with matching outline dies. I combined it with the Polaroid and Fun with Words 1 dies and the BG is from the 6x6 Chocolate Caramel Coffee paper set. The image was water colored with Stabilo Pen 68 brush markers and the background behind the image was inked with seedless preserves distress ink. A few sequins and crystals finish off my card.



On my second card I combined the fun Polar Bear Birthday clear stamp set again with the Polaroid die. The image was again colored with Stabilo Pen 68 brush markers. In addition I used the elegant Snowflakes Border die  to add some wintery flair to my card. The BG paper is from the Blurry Flurries 6x6 pack. This time I used some confetti sequins from This Calls for Confetti to add finishing touches to my 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!

Life is Sweet!

Are you ready for another Whimsy release? Here it comes! Today my creation is all about juicy sweetness.....like ice cream on a hot Summer day!



How I created my card:
I first inked up a white cardstock panel using Distress Oxide inks in an array of rainbow colors. I then die cut the juicy pieces using the NEW Juicy Die Set. I then stamped the ice cream images from the NEW Sweet Summer Fun clear stamp set onto alcohol ink friendly cardstock. I colored them using Ohuhu Honolulu markers and fussy cut them. The sentiment that is included with the stamp set was stamped onto white cardstock, cut out and layered onto a slightly larger piece of black cardstock.
Now it is time to assemble the card. On a white A2 sized card base I arranged the juicy pieces in an overlapping manner and adhered them with glue and foam tape. The images and sentiment were added on top of the juicy pieces. Adding a few matching sequins to finish the card.

Koala Birthday

Hello Friends! Today I am sharing a card made with products from Whimsy's most recent release. 
You'll find all the new goodies HERE!

The NEW Happy Birthday Coverplate die makes creating a card really quick and easy. For the background I used a sheet of the previously released Bokeh 6x6 papers. Then I colored a few images from the NEW Koala Birthday clear stamps set using Ohuhu Alcohol markers, cut them out and added them to the front of the card. Some stickles glitter glue and a few sequins to add some bling. Voila - my card is done.

Fall Blessings

Hello & Happy Sunday! This card brings autumn vibes even here in Florida. I am using the Gourds and Pumpkins clear stamp set released earlier this month together with an oldie but goodie die, the Slimline Marquee die.


For the background I used a sheet of the wonderful Autumn Hues 6x6 paper pack. The Sentiment which is included with the Gourds and Pumpkins clear stamp set was cut out using the Quick Strips die set.

Trick or Treat!

Hey All! This time a not so frightful Halloween card where I combined several Whimsy products. It's on the cute side and totally suitable for kids.


I used a black slimline horizontal top-fold card base. To create the background for my images I used the Wobbly Windows slimline die and the Taffy slimline papers. I colored the images from the Trick or Treat Kids clear stamp set with Derwent Graphitint pencils and a waterbrush.

Little Vampire

Happy TGIF! Here is a little vampire who wants to say 'Hi'. He is from the Trick or Treat Kids stamp set by Krista. It's from Whimsy's newest release.


I colored this little guy with Copics and created the background using concentrated watercolors (Dr.Ph Martins). A few spooky elements complement my card. Below is a link list of all products used.








Have a good start into the weekend!

Toad-ally Awesome - Thank You Shaker Card

Hey All! Last card for this month! Using several of the new July products from Whimsy (listed below). I decided to make another shaker card using the awesome shaker bauble from This Calls For Confetti.


Did you know that the Mitered Frame Die fits perfectly with the shaker bauble? Makes it so easy to create a shaker card. I used the paint splatter background stamp to create my background panel. The images are from the Toadally Awesome clear stamp set and colored with Dr Ph Martins Radiant Liquid Watercolors. I used the Thank You So Much word die to create my sentiment. The shaker filling is from This Calls For Confetti as well and called Last Fling.

Toad-ally Awesome

Happy Monday All! Today I am sharing a Toad-ally awesome card with you 😀 How cute is this? This stamp set is called Toad-ally Awesome and is illustrated by the super talented Krista Heij Barber. Available in the Whimsy store. For links see my product list below.



How I created the card:

The card base is cut from a light blue 110lb cardstock, top-fold, upright, A2 size. The background panel is 1/4" smaller than the base.
For my background I used a gel-print that I had in my stash. (When I am doing gel-prints I usually make a whole bunch of various prints to keep in my stash.) I used the single cat-tail stamp from the set and stamped them all over the print using olive green ink.
To color the images I used Dr. Ph. Martins Radiant Concentrated Watercolors. The white frame is from the Funky Frames die set. After stamping the sentiment onto white cardstock and fussy cutting the images I adhered all the parts to the front of my card using foam dots and glue. 
Adding some confetti sequins and glitter glue finishes off my card.

Lets Roll! - Happy Birthday

Hey All! Two days late with my post for Whimsy Stamps but life interfered once again. Therefore without further ado here is another 'Sushi' card. Aren't these guys adorable? No matter if you like Sushi in real life or not 😉 A link list with all Whimsy products used is like always posted below.



I used a bright green A2 size card base (110lb cardstock). The background is created using the Teardrop Splash stencil, Versafine Clair Green Oasis ink and Whimsy large blending brush. 
I then die cut the Jungle Frame form black cardstock. I stamped the images and sentiments with Versafine Clair Onyx Black ink onto Strathmore Mixed Media paper. Images were colored with Derwent Inktense pencils and fussy cut. The sentiments were die cut using the Comic Speech Bubbles die set. Images and sentiments were adhered to the front of the card base with foam dots and liquid glue.
is few clear confetti sequins from This Calls For Confetti finish off my card.

Sushi Time - Whimsy Stamps July 10th Mini Release




Hello Crafters & Happy Sunday!
The July 10th Mini Release is available in the Whimsy Stamps store now! My full panel shaker card today I am showcasing 'Sushi Time' by Krista Heij Barber.  

If you are a frequent visitor of my blog you know I love to make shaker cards. Today's card is a full panel shaker. Which means the whole card front is a shaker instead of just adding a shaker element. 
With the 'Full Front Shaker Pockets' from 'This Calls For Confetti' these are super easy to make. They are also available in the Whimsy store HERE. They come in three different sizes (mini slim, slim and A2). 


The images I used on my shaker card are from the NEW Sushi Time clear stamp set by Krista. They are just adorable and so much fun to color. I used my Inktense pencils to color up these cuties.



I put some of the images on top of the shaker pocket and others I adhered onto the background paper before adding the shaker panel and filling. This way they are inside the shaker pocket. This adds a bit more interest to the card. The sentiment was also stamped onto the background paper. The designer paper I've used is from the Slimline Champagne paper set.
