Potions Cupboard

I have some catching up to do with my posts. This month was quite chaotic and I am a bit behind. First Ian messed up things tremendously and than a nasty cold was holding me back. But now without further ado ... here is a Halloween card I made with an awesome stamp called Potions Cupboard. It was released earlier this month and is available in the Whimsy store here.

I kept my card simple as this stamp is pretty busy and full of spooky things to explore. A black see through organza ribbon and the EEK large word and shadow die are the only decorations I used.

Thanks for stopping by.

Now onto my card....
I made a slimline card and combined the Fuzzy Spiders clear stamp set with the NEW Slimline Toner Card Fronts Terror 2 and Slimline Waves die. 
To create the background I choose the Slimline Toner Card Fronts Terror 2 sheet with the spiders. I first inked it up using Distress Oxide inks (Squeezed Lemonade, Crackling Campfire, Seedless Preserves, Twisted Citron, Villainous Potion) and Whimsy Blending Brushes. Then I foiled the spiders using a sparkling silver toner reactive transfer sheet and my laminator. You can either ink the background first and foil afterwards or foil first and ink later. It works both ways.

Next I die cut the Slimline Waves die from black cardstock, cut my background layer to fit behind the Slimline Waves frame and adhered both to the front of a slimline card base. 
I stamped the images and sentiment onto Hammermill cardstock with black hybrid ink. There is not much coloring done on these images. Just the hats and the eyes of the spiders were colored with alcohol markers. 

I also added 3D glaze to the spiders eyes and Stickles Stardust glitter glue to the spider web and around the sentiment. On these close-up photos you can see the wonderful silver sparkle of the foiled spiders and the glossy eyes.  I love how the foiled spiders pop on the colorful background. These toner card fronts are super versatile.  

Here is a list of all Whimsy products used on my card:

Christmas Wishes

Hello All & Happy Monday! Here is another Christmas card using products from the October releases. Products used on my card can be found in the Whimsy store.

I decided on non-traditional colors for my card. The background paper I used is from the Flurry Blurries 6x6 paper pack and I just love the purple shades. For my snow globe filling and image I added a touch of green to make it stand out a bit from the all the purple. And of course the gingerbread man is a different color as well. Below is a list with product links used on my project.

Hello Friends! Sorry for my absence but life threw me some curveballs. I am happy to be back at my crafting table now. 😊 How do you like Whimsy's most recent release? It's looking a lot like Christmas 🎵

The card I am showcasing here today is made using die cuts only - not counting the stamped sentiment 😉! Which is by the way from the NEW ATC Vintage Christmas clear stamp set. I have to say I love how it turned out. The die set I was using here are the NEW Santa's Sleigh and Santa's Sleigh Mini Accessories die sets. My background is simple. Just a blue and white glitter cardstock panel. To cut the frame and the background cardstock panels I used the Slimline Scenic Countryside die set. The only embellishment I added besides using what's included in the die sets are some tiny jingle bells.

Slimline Toner Card Fronts - Terror 1

Hello again! Here are my last two creations for this month. Two more Slimline Halloween cards and this time I am using the awesome NEW Slimline Toner Card Fronts - Terror 1. I love the toner card fronts. You can easily and quick create stunning effects with toner reactive foil and a laminator. 

On the first card I used the toner card front together with the Amethyst Watercolor toner reactive foil from ThermoWeb. What a stunning effect this gives to my card. I combined it with the Witch Whispers and EEK word and shadow die sets which I cut from black and white glitter cardstock. 

My second card uses the toner card front together with a Lime Satin foil sheet. All links to Whimsy products used can be found below.

ATC Halloween & Naughty Cat

Hey All! We are still here and we've been VERY lucky and pulled through this horrible storm with little to no damage, thank God! My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who had to deal with this monster Hurricane and hasn't been that lucky or are still feeling Ian's effects as it makes its way up the Atlantic coast. 

I am sharing two cards today, a Halloween slimline project and a Christmas card.

This is one of my favorite Halloween creations I made this year so far. Whimsy Stamps has the best Halloween stamps and dies and with only little effort you can make an awesome Halloween creation.

I used the NEW ATC Halloween Scene clear stamps set together with previously released Halloween dies (see link list below). There is no coloring required to make this card. Just stamping with black ink onto colored cardstock and die cutting from black, purple and silver cardstock.

Next up is a Christmas card using the NEW Dungeon Door red rubber stamp and Cat Do Christmas clear stamp set.

I thought it would look good as a shaker card and used the Shaker Maker Rectangle die set to create one.  The sentiment is included with the clear stamps set.

Hello Everyone! Here is a Halloween Slimline Card featuring Whimsy's Poe Boy clear stamp set.

I used images from the stamp set as my main images as well as to create the background. I designed the card in a simple mixed media style. I think it's just perfect for this kind of stamp set.

Thanks so much for dropping in today!
