Happy Monday All and Welcome to Day 4 of the Whimsy June Release Celebrations. I have a fun shaker card to share with you today.  I had a blast coloring this fun and happy image from the NEW Crazy Cat Lady clear set . I instantly had to think of my niece-in-law (is there such thing?....lol) who loves and adores cats. So I made this card with her in mind :-D This is for you Britta ;-) xx The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Curious Metallic Cryogen white paper. I love the shimmer this paper has.

Color goes on and blends like butter. I have to use this more often again! I fuzzy cut the image because I wanted to pop i

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Saturday and the second day of the Whimsy Stamps  June release!  My inspiration for you today is a card I made using the NEW Seashell Background stamp , New Let's Be Mermaids clear set and the Leaf Foliage 2 die set .  I used 140lb mixed media paper for the background.

Then after it had dried completely and I was satisfied with my colors I used Versamark ink and stampe on the  Seashell Background   and embossed with white embossing powder.  My card base is 5.5 x 4.25 inches crosswise fold. First I added a black card stock layer to my card base (5.25 x 4 inches) and on top my seashell beackground in a slight angle. I cut the seashell background 1/8 of and inch smaller than the black cardstock layer. I cut out two tags (from a discontinued Whimsy tag dies set) one from b

It's Day 4 of the Whimsy Stamps May 2018 Release.  Today I have the super cute NEW   Norbert and Fiona Playtime stamp to showcase. For my card I only used the dragon image and a sentiment from the set. Isn't he so cute? I love dragons as much as I love mermaids! The window is made with the NEW Card Builder Window s die set. To achieve the cloudy background I used the  Cloud Edger Die  and a  blank mylar sheet  to make my own stencil. Then I used my newly created stencil with blue and orange Distress inks and sponged the clouds onto the white die cut window (background piece and the frame) Image was colored with Copics. The sentiment (included in the set) and some sequins finish off my card. Copics used: Orange: YR18, YR16, YR15, Y35, Y13, Y11 Turquoise: BG000, BG01, BG02, BG05 Teal: BG72, BG75, BG78 Whimsy products used:                                                    Thanks for stopping by Hugs,
