Burst of Colors

 It's time for  Whimsy Stamps  second Halloween release -  CREEPY  🕷🕸🧟 There is also an Instagram hop going on with a $25 giveaway! Now onto my creation: To create the web background I used the NEW Broken Web Slimline Embossing Folder on a purple white wash coredinations cardstock. After running it through my die cut machine I used a sanding pad to reveal the purple color of the embossed parts. I then sprinkled on some black paint. The image is from the NEW Cocoon Clear Stamp Set and I colored it with alcohol markers (Ohuhu).  The spiders are cut from black cardstock using the NEW Spiders and Webs die set released earlier this month. I sprinkled the die cut spiders with a bit of white paint and added them to the background panel with foam dots. I also added the girl image with foam dots. I stamped the sentiment (included with the clear stamp set) on kraft cardstock and used the ticket die from the NEW ATC Book Die Set to cut it out. Using brads to adhere the sentime

Hello Friends  - I am BACK!  Sorry for being MIA for almost a month. It has been a super crazy time here at our house and I was not able to create. But I am back now and right in time for  Whimsy Stamps  first Halloween release -  EEK!  ....with a really creepy spooky card. 🕷🕸🧟 There is also an Instagram hop going on with a giveaway! I am absolutely terrified by spiders and if I would live right there in my card scene I would have dropped dead already - LOL I used distress oxide inks to create the background: scattered straw, stormy sky, chipped sapphire, black soot, seedless preserves, twisted citron. Then I cut the Haunted Graveyard border die   from black cardstock and the fullmoon (I used one of the circles included with the  Haunted Graveyard Border Die   ) from glossy pearlized cardstock.  To achieve a really creepy feeling I added spiders and a web using the  Spiders and Webs  die set. I cut out the  EEK! word and shadow die   from lime green cardstock to add it to my car

Happy Sunday and Welcome to Whimsy's August 1st release! It's gnome time and I just adore all the cute gnomes in Crissy's line.

I colored with Ohuhu markers and the background for my shaker was made using the Slimline Enchanted Forest paper pack.

Happy TGIF!  I have one more card to share from the most recent release at Whimsy Stamps. I am using the Bendy Borders clear stamp set again. This time on a slimline butterfly card. I used the second smallest butterfly shape from the Butterfly Outline die set to cut out my butterflies shapes from the Taffy slimline papers. I arranged them on my card panel so that some of the butterflies would be hanging over the edge. Then I glued them down and once dry I cut off all the parts that were peeking over the edge. I stamped the Bendy Border onto vellum paper and used my paper trimmer to cut it so it would fit over the entire card panel lengthwise. I also stamped the smallest of the butterflies from the Butterflies clear stamp set onto vellum paper and used the matching outline die from the Butterflies Outline die set to cut it out. I added it to the card using glue dots. A few small clear rhinestones between the words finish off this card. Whimsy products used: Thanks for stopping by here

Another fabulous release from Whimsy Stamps with lots of Summer fun products! On my card today I am showcasing a fun NEW shark clear stamp set by Dustin Pike called 'Shark Fest' . I colored again with my Ohuhu alcohol markers and the image was stamped onto Hammermill 100 lb. Digital Color Copy cardstock and stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I also used the NEW 'Daisies' Slimline Embossing Folder to give some texture to my background. The sentiment that is included with the stamp set was stamped onto black cardstock with white ink and cut out using one of the Comic Speech Bubble dies. One of the Slimline Wavy Edger Dies . Ohuhu markers used: Shark: BGII05, BGII03, BG3 Green: G2 , G190, GY1 Bamboo Tub: E400, E300, E220 Brown: E310, E400, E110, E060 Yellow: Y030, Y1, YR6, Y4 Red: Y5, E060, Y4 Gray: WG050, WG01, WG3 Eyes: BG050, MG020 Colorless Blender Whimsy products used: Thanks for stopping by and see you soon!

Hello crafty friends! The NEW Under The Sea stamp set from Whimsy Stamps  most recent release is just the cutest and was totally screaming 'underwater shaker scene' to me 😃 ...well, so here we go... I created my slimline shaker using the frame die from the Slimline Scenic Countryside die set. The shaker background is made using the Slimline Under The Sea papers and the sentiment is from the 'Baby Sea Creatures' clear stamp set.  I didn't want to cover too much of the background paper so I went with different sized clear sequins and confetti as my shaker filling. Again I colored my images using my Ohuhu alcohol markers, the newest addition to my coloring mediums. I love to use them, they are super juicy and blend like butter. I think so far they hold up very well next to my beloved Copics. I am really impressed. I will test them further and might do a review in the near future.  Ohuhu Markers used: Red (Shrimp): R1, R2, R160, R22 Blue (Eyes): B220, B1

Hello Stamping Friends & Happy Saturday! There are super cute new stamps and other products in the Whimsy shop today, all available HERE . Below is an A2 sized card I made using some of the new products combined with previously released things. Please scroll down for a list of Whimsy products used. Whimsy's array of products gives you such a wide choice to choose from that you will always find matching stamps, dies, papers etc. I recently splurged and bought some new alcohol markers. I still have all of my Copics of course but I also like to try new things and with the Copics and Copic refills being so expensive lately and sometimes also hard to get, I wanted to see what else is out there that is of good quality for a better price. So I did weeks of research and read lots of reviews and watched You Tube videos. I decided to try out the Ohuhu alcohol markers from the Honolulu series. They also have a brush and a broad nib. So far I've swatched them all out and also colore
