Hey There! Here is a Springtime card I made using the NEW Sending Sunshine clear stamp set in combination with the previously released  Beaucoup Bouquet clear stamp set and Quick Strip die set. I think these are a perfect match! The images were stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturn ink onto Bristol smooth cardstock. I colored using  Chromaflow pencils from Derwent. Love these soft smooth pencils. To create the background I sponged light blue ink onto Bristol smooth cardstock and and added white and black paint sprinkles.

Hey Friends! If you are a regular here on my blog you know that it's time today to share some more NEW Whimsy fun. The 20th of each month marks the 3rd monthly mini release.  It looks a lot like magic. We have super duper cute dragon stamps - Princess Dragon by Dustin Pike is one of them - and a fabulous Build a Castle die set by Deb Davis among other fabulous products. Together with the Enchanted Kingdom paper pack it makes for fantastically magical cards. The image was stamped onto Harmony hot press water color paper from Hahnemühle using Versafine Clair Nocturn ink. I colored it with my F.C. Albrecht Dürer watercolor pencils and  fussy cut it. I started creating my card by using a sheet of the new Enchanted Kingdom Slimline Papers and the die cut frame from the Slimline Birthday Scallops die. I then die cut the castle from white and purple shimmer cardstock using the  Build a Castle die set. The dragons where cut from green glitter cardstock. To match my color scheme I

Hey Whimsy Fans! Some of the Whimsy Stamps Creative Team are doing an Insta-Hop bringing you inspiration using the amazing Bookmark and Tags die set. This die collection has 17 dies and is perfect to create bookmarks and tags of all shapes and sizes. Be sure to visit my Instagram account here  for all the details on how you can hop along and have a chance of winning  a $25 gift certificate to Whimsy Stamps.  For my project I decided to make a shabby chic mixed media tag. In addition to the Bookmark and Tag die set I also used these Whimsy products: Flight of the Butterflies stamp set , Butterflies stamp set , Twinkle stencil , Connected Bubbles die , Poppy Flower die , Floral Impressions papers .  Here is how I created my tag: I started out by cutting the large tag from the  Bookmark and Tag die set   4 times from heavy weight watercolor paper (I used Canson XL cold press), layered and adhered them on top of each other.  Then I cut the large tag once from the  Floral Impression

Here are two cards using the absolutely gorgeous NEW Floral Impressions paper pack from the most recent release.  I kept both cards simple to really let these beautiful papers take the spotlight. On the first card I only added a die cut frame and diet cut word instead of a sentiment. A few clear dew drops finish off this card. (all products I used are linked below). The second card is even more CAS as the the first and I just added the large word die Happy and a simple stamped 'birthday' together with a few clear confetti sequins.  Whimsy Stamps products used: Thanks for stopping by!

Hey Whimsy Fans - it's release day including a new product reveal. Whimsy Stamps expanded it's already versatile line of products - Slimline Embossing Folders - WooHoo!!  I am showcasing both of the brand new slimline embossing folders on my creations today. All Whimsy products I used are linked below. Here is my first card using the following new products: NEW Mushroom Mushup, NEW Gnome Friends, NEW Slimline Thatched Embossing Folders.

This is a pretty simple card w

Hello there Sunshine!  It's the 1st of April and that means it is Whimsy Stamps release time again! Whoop whoop! I can tell you this mini release is fantabulous with amazing products. You can browse them all in the store here . For my release project today I made a slimline shaker card featuring the NEW Sending Sunshine stamp set & Slimline Buttercup papers together with previously released dies - all listed and linked below. Oh I just love these adorable bunnies! I colored the image using Chromaflow pencils. These are new from Derwent and are wax based pencils but are harder than Prismas. The pigment is rich and they layer and blend smooth and beautifully. I used Bristol paper and stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturn ink. Did you know that Whimsy has also quite a selection of Sparkletz and Sprinkletz as well as sequins in the store that are perfect as shaker fillings!  I also made a matching envelope to go with my slimline shaker card using the NEW Slimline Envel
