Hi Everyone! It's Whimsy Release  week again and there is a nice selection of sugar skull products to choose from this time together with some other spooky items. On my card I feature the NEW Sugar Skulls clear set today together with the NEW Slimline Scallop Peekaboo 1 die. When I saw these  Sugar Skulls   they were screaming BLING to me...lol. So this is why a whole array of rhinestones found their way on to my card. For me just the perfect fit with these images. I also wanted the peekaboo windows to stand out so I die cut them from black cardstock and the scallop frame from green cardstock. I also added some pretty designer paper as a layer on top of the peekaboo windows from the NEW Sugar Skulls 6x6 paper pack before adhering my images. I stamped onto Bristol smooth paper using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and colored the  Sugar Skulls  with Karin markers to match the designer paper .  I used lots of clear rhinestones to create a frame around my card and to add

Again a card using the fabulous NEW AlFA Doodles by Faye Wynn Jones from Whimsy Stamps - released earlier this month. This time I did not color the letters. I stamped them with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink onto white cardstock and cut them out. Then I combined them with Copic colored images from the NEW Polka Dot Pals Delia clear stamp set to create my back to school card. I added a pop of color to the background using one of the papers from the NEW Birthday Celebration 6x6 paper pack .  List of Whimsy products used:                  Thanks for visiting!

Hello Everyone & Happy Tuesday! Today I have a baby card to share where I combined two different kind of stamps. One is a Crissy fairy stamp from the NEW Fairy Dreams rubber set and the other is one from Dustins collection called NEW Hedgie Love and is a clear set. I combined the two images by stamping the stork image onto Bristol smooth paper with watercolor friendly ink and then masking it off and stamping the fairy.  I included a little shaker element but kept the card overall very clean and simple.  I cut out the shaker window using the square element from the Slimline Card Builder die set. I colored the images using my Karin Markers   and a waterbrush. Adding Nuvo Glacier Paste in Haute Red to the stork's  beak and feet creates a bit of bling and shine.  Two layers of clouds and the sentiment finish off my card. The sentiment is included with the Hedgie Love set and to create the clouds I used the Grass & Cloud Edger die set.  Here is a list of all Whimsy product

Hello Friends & Happy Monday!  It looks a lot like Halloween! It's the second Whimsy Mini Release today for August and we are officially starting the Halloween Card Season. There are a lot of fun products in this release including some awesome new slimline dies! You can see all the new released products HERE For my Slimline Halloween card I used the NEW Spooks and Spells clear set from Krista's collection and the NEW Slimline Stars Background die. To make my card I first stamped all images from the  Spooks and Spells  clear set onto Copic friendly paper (e.g.Hammermill Digital Cover Stock) using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Then I colored the images with my Copic markers and fussy cut them. I die cut the  Slimline Stars Background  from black cardstock and my card base (8.5" x 3.5") is made from purple cardstock to give some contrast. I saved some of the die cut stars from the background for decorating.  I added some details to my images like Distress Embossing G
