Jungle Babies - Whimsy Stamps March Release

Happy Weekend Friends! The Whimsy New Release celebrations continue today. My second card for the release shows the adorable NEW Jungle Babies by Deb Davis.

I stamped these stinkin' cute animal babies and leaves with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Hammermill 100lbs color copy paper. This is my favorite paper to use if I plan to color with Copics. (see list of colors used below). I then fussy cut the images.
I also used 2 dies from the NEW Pierced and Stitched Circles die set to cut out the frame from green cardstock for my background window. I used the 4th and 5th largest of the dies. 

For my circle background window I cut a circle with the 4th largest die of the Pierced and Stitched Circles die set from 140 lbs mixed media paper (I prefer Strathmore). To create the blue background I used ZIG clean color brush pens in blue and cobalt blue. Added lots of water with a number 8 silver black velvet brush to create a wash. I then sprinkled on some clear water as well as watered down blue and cobalt blue colors to create the speckles.

On the kraft cardstock panel I stamped the flower included with the Jungle Babies set with Memento Desserst Sand. I did not like the kraft panel when it was sitting blank behind the window. I wanted to add a soft pattern that does not distract from the main images. This worked out pretty well. With a white gel pen I added some little dots to each flower center.

I used a A2 size top fold card base in medium blue. Added a soft green panel that is slightly smaller than the card base. On top of that I added my kraft panel in a slight angle. I added the circle window with foam tape to give some dimension to my card. I arranged the images around the circle and glued them down.
As a final step I stamped one of the sentiments from the set onto medium blue cardstock and die cut using  the Quick Strips die set. I also die cut a shadow layer from black cardstock.

List of Copic used:

Lion: YR12, YR21, YR24, YR14, Y26

Monkey: E50, E53, E55, E21, E23, E25, E27, E29

Lamb Double Slider - Whimsy March 2019 Release

Hello Fellow Crafters! It's the time of the month again...Woohooo! Whimsy NEW Release Time! Today I want to show you a Double Slider Card I've created using the NEW Slider Lamb, NEW Up in the Clouds Die set, New Special large word die and some of the Kinetics dies.

So what I wanted my slider card to do is that the lamb slides to the left while the clouds are sliding to the right. And all of the slider mechanisms had to be hidden. To make this possible I used some dies of the Whimsy No-See Kinetcs Basic and Kinetcs Curved Hills die sets as well as a self-created slider mechanism (which I found with the help of youtube). I will ahve a step by step tutorial bit later this month coming up on my blog here.

Meanwhile I have a little video for you to show my card in action:

It is so much fun to create these slider cards and Whimsy's collection of kinetic dies make it so easy! If you don't know these dies yet make sure and check them out HERE. In this months release are also several images that are perfect for making slider cards. See all the new release stuff HERE

I just love how all these different dies, new and older, work together so well. You can create limitless scene cards with these. These fun slider cards are as much fun for kids as they are for adults!

Here on this angled shot you can see how 3D and full of dimension this card really is!

Here is a list of Copics used to color the sweet lamb:

C0, C1, C3, C5, C7, C9
W0, W1, W2, W4
T0, E70, E50, R00, 0

Epic Birthday Wishes

Happy Saturday All! I have a birthday card to share to today. It's for a special crafty friend of mine and I hope she'll like it :-)

I used the Woolly Mammoth red rubber cling stamp from Whimsy's Crissy Armstrong collection. I just love all of Crissys animal images and the adorable mammoth is no exception!

I colored the adorable mammoth using my Copics (E21, E23, E25, E29, E95, W4, W2, W0) and fussy cut it. I kept my card real simple and only used a panel of an older Graphic45 DP as background for my image.

Here is a closer look at the cute primeval creature.

I used FA Doodles to add some details and a few sequins and glitter enamel dot to embellish this clean and simple card.

Here I made a pretty simple card. The background paper is from the DP inluded with the kit. The image is colored with Copics and the sentiment is also included in the stamp set.

I die cut a tag shape from white cardstock and sponged a light blue background and adhered the tiger image on top. I also die cut a banner shape from black cardstock and layered both on top of the DP background.  The sentiment was stamped onto orange DP.

 A black and white gingham ribbon adhered to the white tag and an orange eyelet finish off my card.
