It looks a Lot Like Halloween - Whimsy August 20th New Release

Hey Peeps! I think there is a whiff of Fall in the air! Well at least here at Whimsy and the new release. Not so much where I live though. Here in Florida it is still in the 90's with a heat index over hundred **phew**. So it was real fun creating this card and thinking of Fall and cooler temperatures *wishfulthinking* The cute image I used for my card is from the So Witchy clear stamp set by Dustin Pike.

I colored her with Copics and then cut her out. To create the background I used the Wonky Window 3 die with orange cardstock and a sheet of the Haunted Papers. 
I die cut the word Poof from yellow and black cardstock and layered them together with black behind yellow for a shadow effect. I also die cut the little stars in orange and added them around the image.



To make the word Poof! pop even more I added 3D glaze. I also added some Stardust Stickles to the stars.

Comic Car and City Street Background from Whimsy's newest Comic Collection Release

Hello crafty friends & Happy Monday! Today I want to share a card I made using products from the NEW Comic Collection release. I used the Comic Car die set and City Street Background stamp from  Whimsy's most recent release as well as some earlier released products.



I used vellum paper behind the car windows to give the appearance of glass. I die cut the car from glossy dark purple card stock. Which unfortunately is hard to photograph. The City Street background was stamped onto a sheet of the 6x6 Comic designer paper using dark blue ink (versafine clair).

Happy Hump-day! I want to share another Boho creation using products from the Bohemian Beauty release from Whimsy.

Boho Beautiful - Whimsy Stamps August 1st Release

Happy Release Day! Boho Beautiful is this Whimsy release called. It's a wonderful array of Bohemian artsy products. Here is my release inspiration which I call Boho Circle of Rainbows.


 
I used the Boho Circles as my center point and arranged the Boho Rainbows around it. I die cut all the elements from kraft, glitter and shimmer cardstock in pink, gold, brown and white. 

My card base is a square kraft card which I sprinkled and spritzed with white and gold paint. On top of the smaller boho circle I've added some flowers from the 'Flower Tiles - Stay Wild' clear stamp set by Barbara Sproatmeyer. I colored them using Altenews watercolor brush markers. 



To sparkle things up I've added shiny golden twigs from the Christmas Branches die set. I also added doodled dots using a shiny gold paint pen. Some 'Diamond Sparkle Gems' from This Calls For Confetti finish off my card.

Toad-ally Awesome - Thank You Shaker Card

Hey All! Last card for this month! Using several of the new July products from Whimsy (listed below). I decided to make another shaker card using the awesome shaker bauble from This Calls For Confetti.


Did you know that the Mitered Frame Die fits perfectly with the shaker bauble? Makes it so easy to create a shaker card. I used the paint splatter background stamp to create my background panel. The images are from the Toadally Awesome clear stamp set and colored with Dr Ph Martins Radiant Liquid Watercolors. I used the Thank You So Much word die to create my sentiment. The shaker filling is from This Calls For Confetti as well and called Last Fling.

Toad-ally Awesome

Happy Monday All! Today I am sharing a Toad-ally awesome card with you 😀 How cute is this? This stamp set is called Toad-ally Awesome and is illustrated by the super talented Krista Heij Barber. Available in the Whimsy store. For links see my product list below.



How I created the card:

The card base is cut from a light blue 110lb cardstock, top-fold, upright, A2 size. The background panel is 1/4" smaller than the base.
For my background I used a gel-print that I had in my stash. (When I am doing gel-prints I usually make a whole bunch of various prints to keep in my stash.) I used the single cat-tail stamp from the set and stamped them all over the print using olive green ink.
To color the images I used Dr. Ph. Martins Radiant Concentrated Watercolors. The white frame is from the Funky Frames die set. After stamping the sentiment onto white cardstock and fussy cutting the images I adhered all the parts to the front of my card using foam dots and glue. 
Adding some confetti sequins and glitter glue finishes off my card.
