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.

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.

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.
