Burst of Colors

Hey Everyone! Can you believe it? It's December 1st and Whimsy's last release of the year! Wow! Where has the time gone!?  I am sharing two vintage style Christmas cards today using kraft paper and a CAS layout. The stamp set I used is also called Vintage Christmas and is a clear set by DoveArt.  I kept the design really simple and on the left card I only used white heat embossing and stamped the sentiment in black. A classic red ribbon and some sequins to decorate the card.  On the right card I stamped the tree with dark green ink and heat embossed the snowman in white. The sentiment is stamped in black. This time I used a dark green ribbon to match the tree color and as well some sequins. Whimsy products used: Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Friends! Today I want to share a card & tutorial I made for the Whimsy Stamps World Cardmaking Celebrations last weekend. I used the Leaf Layers clear stamp set from Whimsy's Dove Art collection together with the Scalloped Circle Frames die set. If you haven't taken part in our WCMD celebrations and missed my tutorial you can view it HERE     It is a fairly quick and easy card which you can create with any type of branch/twig stamps or flower stamps, fir branch stamps (think Christmas) etc. Just be creative and get inspired. Whimsy products used: Thanks for visiting! Hugs!

Happy Monday and Welcome to Whimsy's February 1st Mini-Release. The card I am showing you today is made using the NEW Basket Rubber Cling Stamp together with the NEW Slimline Meadow Die Set , NEW Slimline Scalloped Edge Pocket Die set  and previously released  Honeycomb Drips Stencil . The sentiment is from the Easter Memories Clear Stamp set . To create my scene I die cut various elements of the  NEW Slimline Meadow Die Set  f rom Montval watercolor paper. I then used my Graphitint pencils and paint to color them in. The background for my little scene was created using the  NEW Basket Rubber Cling Stamp  - which I also colored with my Graphitint pencils - and the  Honeycomb Drips Stencil   together with Cosmic Shimmer paste in polar white. The butterflies were covered with Distress Glaze to make them shine and stand out. Whimsy Products: Thanks for visiting and have a great week. Stay safe! Hugs,

Hello Crafty Friends. I am on the Whimsy blog today with a tutorial -  Clean & Simple meets Mixed Media.  I love to incorporate  a bit of mixed media into my cards and I want to show you how to take a more clean and simple approach to mixed media but still get that mixed media style look. Here is what we will be creating. So make sure you visit the  Whimsy blog  where I'll have a detailed tutorial with step by step instructions and lots of photos!  I'll see you at the  Whimsy blog , stay healthy! 

Hope you all are having a good week. The Mountain Rams from the Whims y   DoveArt  collection are a super versatile stamp. I used them on a friendship card but they are also great to be used on a birthday card for someone borne under the zodiac sign of Aries or for someone who loves the mountains etc.  I colored the image using Karin Brush PRO Markers . Whimsy stamps has them on sale for a lower price now.....just saying! If you ever thought that the DoveArt stamps are difficult to color don't shy away. In fact they are super easy to color because the artist has already included all the shadow areas and details. This really makes it easy to color these images. Give it a try if you haven't already. I wanted to include more background than only sky behind my image so I opted for the Create a Scene Forest rubber stamp also by  DoveArt . Aren't these fir trees perfect in the background?  I also used the Friend Word & Shadow die  ...
