A few details about my card:
I created an A2 size card and used one of the New Scribdoodle Crittters 6x6 papers for my background. I also want to mention that the NEW Doggie Sketches, NEW Kitty Sketches and NEW Dandi Wish clear stamp sets coordinate with the Scribdoodle Crittters papers!
I decided to add a shaker element to my card and created it using the Mini Slim Rounded Stitched die set. The background of the shaker is made using the NEW Grunge Background 6x6 stamp which I stamped in pink to coordinate with the background paper.
The super cute doggie images are from the NEW Doggie Sketches clear stamp set. I colored the doggies with Copic and Ohuhu alcohol markers. The sentiment and little hearts are included with the Doggie Sketches clear stamp set.

Hello & Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Everyone! I hope you all are having a good time. 🐰




I want to share another of my creations I made for @whimsystamps . On this Mini Slimline Card I used again the Mini Slim Rounded Die Set and then foiled it using the coordinating Mini Slim Rounded Hot Foil Plates. To create the background I used the gorgeous Slimline Flower Puffs papers. The greeting is die cut using the Hello word and shadow die set which I die cut from yellow glitter paper to match my flower background. I die cut one of the butterflies from the Butterflies die set from the same yellow glitter paper as the word Hello. To make it look extra fancy I foiled it using the matching Butterflies foil plates.

Happy Cake Day - Monster Mini Slim Birthday Card

How about some monster birthday wishes?! I had so much fun with Whimsy's NEW Monster Birthday clear stamp set. I combined it with the NEW Mini Slim Rounded Hot Foil Plates and NEW Mini Slim Rounded Die Set.


I cut out a frame from white cardstock using the Mini Slim Rounded Die Set and then foil it using the coordinating Mini Slim Rounded Hot Foil Plates. To give some texture to the background I dry embossed using the Slimline Embossing Folder Diagonal Dots. I colored the cute monster images using my Copics. I fussy cut the images and adhered them together with the Twinkle Scribble on top of the frame. The sentiments (which are from the Monster Birthday set) were stamped with black ink and cut out using the Quick Strip die set.

Whimsy April First Release - Big Hugs with Peekaboo Dots

Announcement: From now on all my creative posts will be on my FB and IG sites as well as Pinterest. I wont be posting separate posts on here anymore. I will copy and paste my FB post here though to not let the blog die completely! Come and follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest ... or all of them! 😉 
Hello Everyone! I know it's been a while since you heard from me. I took a much needed break from everything to recharge my batteries😊. I am officially back now and happily creating again. Today I want to show you my creation for the April 1st release from Whimsy Stamps. There is so much crafty goodness in the store again! Make sure you check it out here: https://bit.ly/3NKb6X2


A bit about my card:
It's an A2 size top-fold card. I created the background by stamping and heat embossing (white) with the NEW Peekaboo Dots clear stamp set randomly on a piece of mixed media paper. I then inked with Distress Oxide inks (Dried Marigold, Saltwater Taffy, Salvaged Patina). Love this vernally color combo. I cut the layer to size to fit on my A2 card. I did not want to cover up too much of the background so I opted for the Big Hugs Word die set, cut out from black cardstock. A shimmery star jewel finishes off my card.

Vintage Christmas - Whimsy Stamps Last Release of 2021


Hey Everyone! Can you believe it? It's December 1st and Whimsy's last release of the year! Wow! Where has the time gone!? 



I am sharing two vintage style Christmas cards today using kraft paper and a CAS layout. The stamp set I used is also called Vintage Christmas and is a clear set by DoveArt. 
I kept the design really simple and on the left card I only used white heat embossing and stamped the sentiment in black. A classic red ribbon and some sequins to decorate the card. 
On the right card I stamped the tree with dark green ink and heat embossed the snowman in white. The sentiment is stamped in black. This time I used a dark green ribbon to match the tree color and as well some sequins.

Ho, Ho, Ho, - Black and White Christmas



Ho, Ho, Ho, - come and celebrate another awesome Whimsy Christmas release with us! There are awesome stamps like the cutest reindeer and penguins as are there some amazing slimline products. One of them, the Slimline Diagonal Dots, I am using on my black & white Christmas card.


I decided to keep my card just black and white. One half of the BG being a pattern paper from the Christmas Eve 6x6 papers  released earlier this month and the other half was embossed using the NEW Slimline Diagonal Dots embossing folder. I love this pattern, soooo versatile and perfect for any occasion. Then I cut out the words Merry and Christmas each from black and white cardstock. I wanted them to be half black and white as well. I kept the design very simple with just a few sequins for decoration.

Oh Holy Night!

Hello Everyone! Here comes yet another awesome mini release from Whimsy Stamps! The card I created using the newly released 'Oh Holy Night' die set and 'Stained Glass Window' die set is below. 



I created a tea light card. It is a tri-fold card and I used vellum behind the windows. You can put a (or several) electric tea lights behind the card and the glow shows through the vellum windows. It serves two purposes.....a greeting card and a Christmas decoration. Makes a nice gift for family and friends. 


For the side windows I used the star dies from the 'Primitive Shaker Shapes' set. The 'Oh Holy Night' sentiment which is included with the 'Oh Holy Night' set was cut out several times from black cardstock and once from white cardstock. I then layered and glued them together for a raised effect. 

 
Here is a close-up of the main window. I kept the colors to black, silver, gold (shine and shimmer) and glittter white. I wanted it to have a more elegant look.



Here is the main window with the tea light on.

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.
