Happy Saturday! Hi friends I hope y'all are having a fabulous weekend so far. Bunny Balloons 2 is the name of a super cute clear stamps set from Whimsy's March release. These floating bunnies with their balloons are not only super adorable but extremely versatile for birthday cards, encouraging messages, celebration cards or just a 'Hello' note. Here is my card made using the Bunny Balloons 2 set,  Beaucoup Bouquet  clear set & matching  Beaucoup Bouquet die set   as well as the  Pierced and Stitched Circles  die set. I started out with a A2 size top fold card cut from heavy weight black cardstock. For my background I used heavy weight mixed media paper (Strathmore 140lbs). This is my absolute favorite paper to use for ink blending. Ink blends like butter, very smooth and without leaving any marks from the sponge or brush. In addition it is very sturdy and water friendly. It won't curl, get soaked nor will the surface look puffy after adding water

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

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 set s 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 mont
