Burst of Colors

Happy Satruday! Have you been enjoying the Whimsy Stamps release week so far? Well we have two more stamp sets to share with you today. We're starting today with a new rubber image from Whimsy artist Crissy Armstrong called Whatzup, Dog. Don't you just love the look on his cute little face? Last month's free CAS stamp set, Snowman Tidings , will now be available for purchase starting on November 7th.  We are also introducing coordinating dies for the set this month to allow for more fun design possibilities. Here is my creation using both, the stamps and dies: The background was embossed using an older cuttlebug folder. The snowflake is from the Snow Flurry clear set and cut out using the matching Snow Flurry die s et . I stamped the snowflake with VersaMagic and embossed it using Rangers Enchanted Gold embossing powder. It has such a nice and subtle glitz to it.  Whimsy products used:             Thanks

Welcome to Day 2 of the November Release Countdown.    We have some fun products to share with you today. We are starting off with the newest rubber image from Whimsy artist Krista Heij-Barber - Sledding Time. We are also introducing our newest flower die, the Hellebore flower.  You can pair it with regular patterned paper, card stock or use the amazing  Foamiran  that is available in the Whimsy store. For my inspiration today I made a little gift box and embellished it with a Helebore flower made from  Foamiran .  I used white Foamiran    for my flower, added a berry flower center and dipped the finished flower in super fine white glitter. I used the WRMK gift box punch board to create my little gift box. The base is made from pink cardstock and I added some Christmas DP on all sides. The sentiment is from the Holiday Mini Sentiment s set. Whimsy products used:         Thanks for stopping by! Hugs, 

Hello and Welcome to Day 1 of the November Release for Whimsy Stamps . We have lots of fun products to show you over the next 5 days. As a reminder, all new products will be available to purchase in the Whimsy Store starting on November 7th. In our rubber line of stamps, we are introducing you to Eleanor today, the newest image from illustrator Sylvia Zet. Here is what I came up with using this cutie: I colored her using Distress Markers (list of colors used below) then fuzzy cut her. The background was made using Gelatos  (Elderberry) - I applied it, rubbed it with my fingers and smoothed it out with a wet brush. Silver metallic liquid water color, white paint (Sharpie paint marker) and black distress marker where sprinkled all over the background. I adhered the image with foam tape. The sentiment is from the St. Nicholas clear set. I stamped the greeting with VersaMark onto black cardstock and heat embossed it white. A few silver star sequins complete the

Hi everyone! I am back today with my second creation for Whimsy's  31 Nights of Halloween celebration over at the Whimsy Inspirations Blog ! There is still time to participate in our games to have the chance of winning some spooktacular prizes! Make sure you don't miss this! This time I have a birthday card to share using the awesome  'Franken Schmutz'  clear set by Deb Davis. I love this Franken monster, he is so cute. I also like that this set can be used for a variety of cards, it really is versatile! I decided to go with blue and violet colors and also include a little shaker circle. The background was made using Distress inks/crayons in tumbled glass, shaded lilac, wilted violet and seedless preserves. First I applied a color wash with Distress inks and let it dry. Then I used a Tim Holtz stencil (Bubble) and Distress Crayons to add some texture to my background. Some spritzers of water finish off the background. All the elements were stamped

Happy Sunday Everyone! I am here today to share a clean and simple card using the Whimsy Snow Word & Snow Caps die set  and the Snow Flurry clear set both designed by  Deb Davis . I sponged a white panel of cardstock with different blues of Distress Oxide Inks. I then stamped some Snowflakes from the  Snow Flurry   clear set with Versamark ink onto the sponged card panel and embossed them with white and silver embossing powder. I also stamped some snowflakes in dark blue for a nice contrast. Using the word die from the  Whimsy Snow Word & Snow Caps die set  I cut out the word snow from my already inked and embossed panel. I also cut out the word snow from a sheet of white fun foam. I adhered the snowflake panel to my card front. Filling the die cut letters with the matching fun foam die cuts and on top of the fun foam I glued the die cut letters from the snowflake panel. Make sure the snowflakes line up nicely. I love the effect it gives with the word cut o

Hello Crafty Peeps! Today I have a card to share which was one of my projects at the Whimsy Craft Retreat earlier this month. It is a spinner card which also involves mirror stamping. It's a really fun project and Whimsy Stamps has now mirror stamps in the store to buy. This super cute image, as well as the sentiment and background image are all from the Oh What Fun clear set by Deb Davis . In the video (scroll down) you will see the image from both sides. The sprinkles around the image were created using Brusho. I also added glitter for some sparkles. On the inside I've added snow texture paste and more glitter underneath the trees as well as on top of the trees. Here is a little video on how to mirror stamp to create the image I used on my spinner card. Whimsy supplies used:                Thanks for stopping by!

Hello crafting friends! Today I want to share a card with you where I used an older Whimsy rubber stamp called Darling Daisies , from the Crissy Armstrong Collection. I used my ZIG Clean Color Brush Markers to stamp the image as well as color it. This was a new technique for me but I have to say I really do like it. I like the soft watercolor look and the 'no-lines' effect. I took the stamp and mounted it onto a stamping platform. I used my Mini Misti for that. I then colored directly onto the stamp with my ZIG pens. One color after another and stamping in-between color applications. An easy task if you use a stamping platform.  After stamping I let the image dry some what. I used a waterbrush to soften the stamped lines, added more color with my ZIG pens (i applied it directly to the paper with the ZIG pen) and colored and softened it again using the waterbrush. For the petals and the stems/leaves I used the lighter color to stamp and darker color to add some m
