Dam this is late!

Happy TGIF! If you're like me then cards like this one below should always be in your stash...LOL I'm so bad with remembering B-Days and sending cards out in time. So this NEW super cute beaver clear stamp set from Whimsy Stamps - Oh, Dam! - is perfect to create some belated birthday cards.

So, this super cute beaver clear stamp set is perfect to create some of these belated birthday cards. There are also matching outline dies available for this stamp set to make cutting out the images a breeze. 

I colored the images with Copics. To make them more pop from the background I added a kraft rectangle and adhered a layer, stamped with the Tree Ring Background and cut out with the Extreme Postage die set, on top.  The serntiment is included with the Oh, Dam! stamp set

Slimline Pocket Birthday Card

Hey Fellow Papercrafters! Today I have another slimline card to share using the NEW Slimline Scalloped Edge Pocket Die Set together with the previously released Slimline Pillows die, Slimline Vertical Sentiments and Bookmark and Tags die set.

I chose only two bold colors for my slimline card - black and lime green. I think they work perfectly together as are the NEW Slimline St. Patrick's Day papers which I used for my background. The pocket is created very easily with the Slimline Scalloped Edge Pocket Die and can also be used as gift card holder in addition to the tag I made. Decorating the pocket is easy with the included butterfly die. 

I cut the large tag from the Bookmark and Tags die set from vellum paper and stamped the sentiment from the Slimline Vertical Sentiments with Black Stazon Pigment Ink. A matching chiffon ribbon and some pearls added to the butterflies are finishing off my card.

Fairies and Gnomes - Whimsy Stamps February 10th Mini Release

Happy Wednesday and Welcome to another Whimsy Stamps Mini Release! 

This time I am visiting the magical world of fairies and gnomes and with the newly released Whimsy products its easy to create this magical fairy garden on my card.

To create my card I started out by making a horizontal top-fold slimline card which is 3.5 x 8.5 inches in size. I then chose one of the new Slimline Enchanted Forest Papers as my background. 

The frame on top is the Slimline Waves die, cut from white glitter paper. I then used the Build a Fairy Garden die set to create the scene. 

I die cut the mushrooms from mixed media and glitter paper and colored all non glittery parts with Copic markers. The little fairy was die cut from green glitter paper. I used the fairy dust die to create a stencil for applying matching green glitter. 

The cute gnome couple is from the Gnome One Like You clear stamp set as is the sentiment. The image was colored with Copics as well. Some die cut butterflies from vellum paper and green cardstock finish off my card.

Copic colors used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R21

Hair: YR30, YR31, E23

Beard/Mushroom: W1, W2, W4, W6, W8

Hats: RV93, RV95, RV99  BV31, BV34, BV25

Lucky Ducky Challenge

Hello Crafty Friends! It's challenge time again. Together with my friends Alanna and Faye we challenged each other to create a card using the cute Lucky Ducky clear stamp set from Whimsy's most recent release.

Each of us is using a different coloring medium. It is so much fun to see what everyone creates. We did this before with the Wonky Donkey clear set and had such a fun time so we decided we want to do it again.
It was my turn to use Copics this time. Alanna is using pencils and Faye watercolors.
Please visit my friends blogs and see their awesome creations with this fun clear set. Alannas Lucky Ducky Card & Faye's Lucky Ducky Card.

Whimsy February 1st Release - Happy Springtime

Happy Monday and Welcome to Whimsy's February 1st Mini-Release. The card I am showing you today is made using the NEW Basket Rubber Cling Stamp together with the NEW Slimline Meadow Die Set, NEW Slimline Scalloped Edge Pocket Die set and previously released Honeycomb Drips Stencil. The sentiment is from the Easter Memories Clear Stamp set.

To create my scene I die cut various elements of the NEW Slimline Meadow Die Set from Montval watercolor paper. I then used my Graphitint pencils and paint to color them in. The background for my little scene was created using the NEW Basket Rubber Cling Stamp - which I also colored with my Graphitint pencils - and the Honeycomb Drips Stencil together with Cosmic Shimmer paste in polar white. The butterflies were covered with Distress Glaze to make them shine and stand out.

Hello Crafty Friends! I am here today to share another card made with the new Always and Forever clear stamp set by Deb Davis for Whimsy Stamps.  

Together with the NEW Always and Forever stamp set I used the following new and previously released products - NEW Baby Bear 6x6 papers, NEW Slimline Hearts Background die, Twinkle Scribble die. 

I like the starry paper as background and think it goes perfect with the image and design I had in mind. The Twinkle Scribble die is complementing the BG star design and makes the perfect frame for my image.  I colored the image with Faber Castell Albrecht Durer pencils. Cut out heart shapes from the Slimline Hearts Background were used as embellishments. The sentiment is included with the clear stamp set.

Thanks for visiting me here today. Have a wonderful weekend and stay safe!

Whimsy Release - Happy Anniversary

This anniversary card was made using a super cute clear stamp set from today's release at Whimsy Stamps together with an also new Connected Hearts Frame die. The stamp set is called Always and Forever and I die cut the hearts frame twice from white and dark red cardstock.

I colored the image with Derwent Graphitint watercolors. I love the muted graphit colors and the grainy effect they have. The background was created with the previously released Farmhouse Basket Stencil and a white Paper Glaze paste. The sentiment is included with the stamp set and was die cut with one of the tags of from the Bookmark and Tags die set.

Especially For You!

Hey Whimsy Fans - Especially for you! Last time I colored Dudley the dragon from the new release and this time I have a super cute Gnome to share. He's been release on January 1st and is from Whimsy's Crissy Armstrong collection. This set is called Gnome One Like You

I had fun coloring this guy with my Copics - list of colors used further down below. But have to admit that while I was coloring I was in shock how dirty and neglected my Copics really are *shameonme*. My friend and fellow teamie Faye would say I am a bad Copic Mommy ;-) So I guess on the weekend there is a big Copic cleaning and refill session coming up...*sigh*

The patterned paper I used is from the also NEW Heart to Heart 6x6 paper pack. The sentiment is from the Dudleys Mailed with Love set and the tiny hearts I've added are cut out leftovers from the Slimline Hearts Background. The edge of the patterned paper was cut using one of the NEW Slimline Envelope Edger dies.

Copic colors used:

BG000, BG01, BG02, BG05, BG07

R81, R83, R85, R89, R00

This is a pretty simple card with just 2 layers (I count the image and frame as one). The cute Dragon was colored with Copics. Only embellishments are the two sequins and a little bit of Stickles Stardust glitter glue added around the frame. 

The sentiment is included with the stamp set and I love the simple 'tag' sentiment style. Compliments my CAS card perfectly.
