Whimsy Stamps November 1st Release - Believe


Whimsy Stamps November 1st Release is available in the store now!

There is also an IG Release Hop going on (from today Nov 1st 10am to Nov 3rd 11:59 EST). There is a $25 prize up for grabs! Make sure and check that out HERE


Wow time sure flies! So today we are starting into the month of November already! I can't believe that in about 1.5 weeks I will be decorating our house for Christmas ( I usually start Nov. 11th which is St Martin's Day in Germany and I continued the tradition over here)! Whimsy's release today preludes the Christmas season full force - and I love it! It's my favorite time of the year after all!



I am sharing this Christmas Slimline Card today. To create the background I used the NEW Holly Slimline Embossing Folder and a piece of kraft cardstock. After running it through my Vagabond I used a rose gold metallic ink pad and slightly rubbed over the embossed parts of the cardstock panel. I wanted to make sure that only the embossed parts will be inked. I like the subtle rose tone the rose gold ink pad left on the kraft cardstock and the beautiful sheen it has. 
The frame around the background was created with the Slimline Birthday Scallops die set that I cut from white glitter paper.


I then cut the NEW Believe Word & Shadow die from white and kraft cardstock. The ornament was cut from satin sheen gold cardstock then stamped and embossed (with copper EP) using the Elegant Ornament die and Elegant Ornaments clear stamp set.
I glued the ornament onto the embossed BG and the Believe word and shadow where adhered using foam dots. To finish my card I added a little rhinestone the to letter 'i' and a few glitter dots on the background using a clear stardust gelly roll pen.

Bunny Christmas


Hey All! Using the Whimsy Stamps SurReally Cool Christmas Slimline Papers together with any stamped image makes fantastic, easy and fast Christmas cards.


On my card I used the 'Bunny Winter Holiday' clear stamp set illustrated by Crissy Armstrong together with one of the  SurReally Cool Christmas Slimline Papers. I cut out the patterned paper using the Slimline Fancy Frame die set. The banner I used for the sentiment is from the same die set. To add some glitz I decorated the card with Sparkletz - Crystal Stars.

Sandy Wishes

Here is a Christmas card I made using the awesome 'Hourglass' die from Whimsy Stamps. It's such a versatile die that can be used year round for any occasion. On my creation I combined it with the 'Calm Christmas' and 'Decorate a Tree' set from this months release. 

To add more detail and interest to the card I made it a shaker card and filled it with 'Merry & Bright' Sprinkletz.


Here is another angle:

Winter Fun on the Beach

Hello Friends! How would you feel as a snowman enjoying the beach? Well the fella on my card is visibly enjoying it. ๐Ÿ˜‰⛄


To create my card I used the Calm Christmas clear stamp set from Whimsy's most recent release. I stamped onto Arches hot press paper with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and colored with Dr. Ph. Martins Radiant Liquid Watercolors. I fussy cut the image and adhered it to the card front using foam dots. 


The sentiment is included with the set. I stamped it on watercolor paper, colored it with matching colors and cut it out using the Quick Strip die set. A few enamel dots finish off my CAS style card.

It's looking a lot like Christmas - Whimsy Mini Release



Hey Friends! It's looking a lot like Christmas.....I know it's not even been Halloween but I am a sucker for all things Christmas ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ… And the newest Whimsy Mini Release is just right up my alley. My absolute favorite time of the year and creating Christmas cards just rounds it all up. So it's official now there wont be any more Halloween cards on my blog for this year.....sorry for all you Halloweeners ๐Ÿค—. Oh well...maybe one more on Halloween day...IF the mood strikes LOL.

Ok enough blabber, onto my creations for this release today.


First up is a Christmas card I made using the NEW Vintage Poinsettia clear stamp set. Oh is this stamp set so gorgeous with the beautiful poinsettia blossom and holly leaves. To complete the vintage look I colored my images using Derwent Graphitint pencils and pan colors. I stamped the images with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink onto Arches hot press watercolor paper and fussy cut after coloring. 
I wanted to add some bling to my vintage inspired card so I stamped the NEW Slimline Nordic  Background with Versamark ink and heat embossed using Ranger's Enchanted Gold embossing powder. It's my favorite gold embossing powder, it sparkles so nicely. 
I used the Slimline Cornered Rectangles dies to cut out my background as well as the card base. The stamped sentiments are included with the NEW Vintage Poinsettia clear stamp set. I wanted the word Christmas to stand out more so I used the Christmas Large Word die. I cut it out several times and layered it to have a 3D effect. 


My second creation for today is another slimline card using the awesome Slimline SurReally Cool Christmas papers as my focal point.


These pattern papers are amazing and they make for really quick cards. I chose this gorgeous girl holding a star as focal point for my card. I cut out a frame from white glitter paper using the Slimline Scenic Countryside die set. I used the Merry Large Word die for my sentiment. I cut out the word Merry twice from black cardstock and once in satin gold for the top layer. Done was my card! You could simply mass produce this card changing out the patterned paper for each card.
