It's Been A While Crocodile!

Hello Fellow Crafters! Here is another card using these adorable Insta-Gator stamps from Whimsy Stamps! 

As usual all products including designer paper are available in the Whimsy store. I used the NEW 3in1 Mitered Frames die to create some dimension on my card. The images were colored using Derwent Inktense pencils on Mixed Media paper from Strathmore.

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.

Lets Roll! - Happy Birthday

Hey All! Two days late with my post for Whimsy Stamps but life interfered once again. Therefore without further ado here is another 'Sushi' card. Aren't these guys adorable? No matter if you like Sushi in real life or not 😉 A link list with all Whimsy products used is like always posted below.

I used a bright green A2 size card base (110lb cardstock). The background is created using the Teardrop Splash stencil, Versafine Clair Green Oasis ink and Whimsy large blending brush. 

I then die cut the Jungle Frame form black cardstock. I stamped the images and sentiments with Versafine Clair Onyx Black ink onto Strathmore Mixed Media paper. Images were colored with Derwent Inktense pencils and fussy cut. The sentiments were die cut using the Comic Speech Bubbles die set. Images and sentiments were adhered to the front of the card base with foam dots and liquid glue.
is few clear confetti sequins from This Calls For Confetti finish off my card.

Sushi Time - Whimsy Stamps July 10th Mini Release

Hello Crafters & Happy Sunday! The July 10th Mini Release is available in the Whimsy Stamps store now! My full panel shaker card today I am showcasing 'Sushi Time' by Krista Heij Barber.  

If you are a frequent visitor of my blog you know I love to make shaker cards. Today's card is a full panel shaker. Which means the whole card front is a shaker instead of just adding a shaker element. 

With the 'Full Front Shaker Pockets' from 'This Calls For Confetti' these are super easy to make. They are also available in the Whimsy store HERE. They come in three different sizes (mini slim, slim and A2). 

The images I used on my shaker card are from the NEW Sushi Time clear stamp set by Krista. They are just adorable and so much fun to color. I used my Inktense pencils to color up these cuties.

I put some of the images on top of the shaker pocket and others I adhered onto the background paper before adding the shaker panel and filling. This way they are inside the shaker pocket. This adds a bit more interest to the card. The sentiment was also stamped onto the background paper. The designer paper I've used is from the Slimline Champagne paper set.

Wild & Free

Happy Saturday! I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Before the new release is due in the shop tomorrow I want to show another card I made with products from the July 1st release.

To achieve this grungy looking foiled background I used the NEW Giraffe Hot Foil Plate,  gold foil and black cardstock that is not super smooth.  I also omitted one of the cardstock shims I usually have to use use with my die cutting machine when foiling. I absolutely love the grungy partially foiled look. The sentiment is from the NEW Free Spirit clear stamp set. I heat embossed with pearl gold.

Happy Sunday! Todays card is created with die cuts only. I used Whimsy's new Truck die and earlier released Celebrate Word die as well as Bookmarks and Tag die set. This Truck die is perfect for all occasions like birthdays, fathers days, kids, Christmas etc. You can incorporate it in scenes or just create simple cards like I did. Also perfect for creating cards with kids.
