Merry Claw-mas - Whimsy Stamps October 10th Release
On my slimline card I used the NEW Santa Claws clear stamp set illustrated by Dustin Pike together with the NEW Slimline Banner die. I colored the images with Stabilo 68 water based brush markers and cut them out them with the coordinating outline dies which are available separately. The slimline banner die was die cut from gold and white glitter paper and layered on top of each other.
The stars I've added are actually leftovers from another card I did last month and where laying around on my craft desk. I inked them up with matching gold yellow colors and sprinkled them with golden paint. The background paper I used is from the Slimline Champagne paper pack. My sentiment is a combination of the Merry large word die together with the word Claws-Mas that is included in Santa Claws set. To create some texture I've added Stardust Stickles and 3D Gloss to the images and some Confetti Sequins from This Calls For Confetti.

Ho Ho Ho - Whimsy Stamps
Hi Friends! Are you working on your Christmas cards already? This is number 2 for me of this years Christmas cards. It's hard to think Christmas while it still has Summer temps.😂 But I couldn't resist these cute Gingerbread Emojis from Whimsy Stamps earlier releases this month.
While looking at this cute NEW Gingerbread Emojis stamp set and the also NEW Twinkle Swirl die I knew instantly that this has to become a shaker card! So I added the earlier released 3 in 1 Mitered Frames die and made my own shaker mix with several products from This Calls For Confetti.
Images were colored using Ohuhu markers.

Whimsy Stamps Holly Jolly
I used images from the NEW Holly Jolly clear stamp set as my focal image. I created the background by adding ink and on top I've added texture paste using the Harlequin stencil. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment white on black cardstock. I then cut it out using the Elegant Ornament die. A few white paint splatters and red sequins finish off my card.

I added more texture to my BG using the Mixed Media Bits clear stamp set and pigment ink in gray, black and gold as well as red distress crayons. More details were added with a gold, black and white paint pen.

Whimsy Stamps New Product Launch - NoFuss Masks
Hi Crafty Friends! Whimsy Stamps is releasing a new product today - NOFUSS MASKS! How awesome is this?! Calling all the 'fussy-cutting-haters' 😄. This is going to be such a time saver, even if you don't mind fussy cutting, like I do. Now you can get all the cool looks that can be done with masking without the fuss!
They are available at the moment for 10 stamp sets but there is more to come! Each set contains 4 sheets of repositionable stamp image masks. Say goodbye to fussy cutting and hello to Whimsy Stamps NoFuss Masks.
Here I have some inspiration on how you can use these NEW NoFuss Masks:
I used several images of the Halloween Night clear stamp set and created this scene using the NoFuss Masks. After stamping all my images I left the masks on and started ink blending the background.
I did heavy blending with Distress Oxide-Inks and I was not careful at all. Usually my favorite paper for ink blending would be either mixed media cardstock or smooth Bristol cardstock. Because I wanted to color my images with alcohol markers I decided on Hammermill paper to create my scene. So I had to ink blend on Hammermill paper.
Even though HM paper is very smooth the ink does not blend as well as on my other favorite cardstock. It works but takes some effort to get a smooth blend. Therefore I really did a lot of ink blending for my background going back and forth between all the colors.
At first I was concerned about the masks. Could they handle all the blending with my brushes, would the edges start to peel back and curl up? I had this happen before with other masking paper!
What can I say? They did NOT! They stayed put perfectly, did not budge and the edges did not curl up! Just perfect! I am really impressed and can not recommend them enough.

If you shied away from creating stamped scenes or creating ink blended backgrounds around stamped images in the past because of masks - you won't anymore! It is such a time saver!
I highly recommend you try them for yourself. You will be as impressed and excited about them as I am!

Happy Birthday Deb! 🎂
I created this scene card for Deb using several Whimsy products from recent and earlier releases. Please scroll down to find the link list below.
For the background I used the NEW Nightmares SL paper and my focal image is the Dracula image from the 'Dracula I Compel You' set. The sentiments are from the same set.
I embellished the card using the mini jack-o lanterns from the NEW 'Pumpkin and Mini Jacks' die set cut from golden glitter cardstock. As well as some bats from the NEW Batty die set.

Grumpin Punkin!
Hello Friends! Another Whimsy Stamps Halloween release just hit the shelves a few days ago! Here is my inspiration using the NEW Grumpin Punkins stamp set.
I colored the pumpkins using alcohol markers and then fussy cut them. I combined the NEW Grumpin Punkins with the Connected Bubbles die and made one of the bubbles a shaker element.
The shaker bubble and filling for the shaker element is made using several products from This Calls for Confetti. The round shaker pouch from TCFC fits perfectly in the bubble from the Connected Bubbles die!
I decorated my card using bats from the Batty die set and small pumpkins from the Pumpkins and Mini Jacks die set (cut from glitter cardstock).
I also added texture using cheese cloth pieces which I dyed with distress inks to fit my color scheme.
Please find below a list off all Whimsy Stamps and This Calls For Confetti products used.
