Please scroll down for a link list of all products used as well as a How-To. Quick How-To I started out with a 5.5" square card base in white.

I inked the background using Distress inks Mustard Seed, Kitsch Flaming and an inking brush.  I then cut the C

T-Rex Greetings

Hello Friends!  I am here today with a roarsome dino card featuring one of the characters of the NEW Roarsome Rex clear stamp set from Whimsy Stamps May 5th mini release .  I combined it with the also NEW Roarsome Skin Background stamp and Roaring die set. I thought this cheeky T-Rex would be a looker together with the smart phone die from the Selfies die set. I stamped the background using Versafine Clair Charming Pink ink and heat embossed it clear to enhance the leathery look of the skin. I die cut the pterosaur from white glitter paper and added it to the the phones background behind the main image. I colored the  Roarsome Rex   image using Karin Pro Brushmarkers. The sentiment is included with the  Roarsome Rex   clear set. Whimsy products used:   Have a great week!  

OMG! - Monster Miss You

Image
Happy Saturday! Here is my last card for this month. Again I am using some of the cute monsters from the Monster Moods clear set released earlier this month.  I made a mini slimline card combining the monsters with several other newly released products.  You will find a list of products used below. I colored these cuties with Ohuhu markers but unfortunately I did not write down the colors I used. I am getting asked often about the color combinations but most of the time I don't write them down. I apologize but it's mostly a time issue. I'll try to get better at this and make more notes about my color combinations πŸ˜€ Whimsy Stamps products used: Happy card making!

Happy TGIF Crafty Friends! I am totally in love with the super cute little monster clear stamp sets Whimsy released earlier this months. They are from the Crissy Armstrong Collection and are called Monster Birthday and Monster Moods .  On my card I used one of the little monster fellas from the  Monster Moods   clear stamp set and colored with Ohuhu Alcohol Markers. I created the rainy background using the It's Raining 6x9 stencil and the NUVO Glimmer Paste in Esmeralda Green. The puddle the little monster is jumping in joyfully was created with another stencil called Puddles 6x6 stencil . I first inked the puddle with Distress Oxide inks, cut it out and then added Stickles glitter glue for some bling. The sentiment is one of the    Positives  sentiments, stamped with Versamark ink onto teal cardstock and white heat embossed. To add the stitching on my sentiment banner I used one of the Envelope Edger dies. Whimsy Stamps products used: Happy crafting!

You Are Purrfect!

Hi Everyone!   Here is another card I made using products from Whimsy's most recent release. I combined the new Kitty Frame die and Scribdoodle critter papers with earlier released products You Are word die set and Kitty Cat Extras die set . To make the large words pop I die cut them several times from black cardstock, layered them and added 3D gloss on top. When I added the Kitty Frame I first thought of making a shaker card. I think this is just what this frame screams...SHAKER! Then I decided otherwise and wanted to make it pop without being a shaker. I added blue cardstock for the background that matches my designer paper. I added the word 'purrfect' die cut from bright pink cardstock and added a little fishy and some sequins. I think it is just the perfect little element to coordinate with my large word sentiment and the background papers. Whimsy Stamps products used: Happy crafting!
