Race The Rain

Hey Crafty Friends, today I want to share a card I made using both Whimsy bike sets, the Kickstart my Heart set as well as the Bad to the Bone set. It is a real CAS card and easy to and fast to make. The background was sponged with distress oxide inks and sprinkled with water for a more distressed effect. It is way more orangey in real life than it appears on the photo.

Whimsy May 2018 Release - Day 4

It's Day 4 of the Whimsy Stamps May 2018 Release. Today I have the super cute NEW Norbert and Fiona Playtime stamp to showcase. For my card I only used the dragon image and a sentiment from the set. Isn't he so cute? I love dragons as much as I love mermaids! The window is made with the NEW Card Builder Windows die set.



To achieve the cloudy background I used the Cloud Edger Die and a blank mylar sheet to make my own stencil. Then I used my newly created stencil with blue and orange Distress inks and sponged the clouds onto the white die cut window (background piece and the frame) Image was colored with Copics. The sentiment (included in the set) and some sequins finish off my card.


Copics used:

Orange: YR18, YR16, YR15, Y35, Y13, Y11

Whimsy May 2018 Release - Day 1

It's Whimsy Release Day!  Today  it's Day 1 of our May 2018 release week. As always, we have lots of great NEW products in store this month including rubber images, rubber background stamps, photopolymer stamp sets, stencils and dies.  And the best thing...the entire release is available in the store NOW

My cards today feature some awesome clear sets with motorcycle images from Whimsy Artist Deb Davis of Amped2Stamp. Perfect for masculine cards, bikers and motorcycle enthusiasts.

The two biker sets are called Kickstart my Heart and Bad to the Bone. Here is what I came up with using both sets. A link list with all Whimsy products used is as always available at the end of my post.




On my first card I used the Kickstart my Heart set as well as the NEW Burlap Background stamp. For the background I used Memento London Fog ink . I then stamped the bike image on top of the background using Versafine Clair Morning Mist. The sentiment is stamped with Versamark ink onto black cardstock and heat embossed with silver embossing powder and added to the card panel with foam tape. I layered the top card panel onto shiny metallic silver/pewter cardstock for a special chrome effect. I thought that fits the sentiment perfectly. A 'Happy Bday' stamped right underneath the bike and a few matching sequins and enamel dots finish off my first card.





My second card is a bit more colorful. I used the motorcycle image from the Bad to the Bone set and colored it using Copics. The sentiment is from the same set and the checkered strip is from the Kickstart my Heart set. A very simple card but I think perfect for a masculine card. For decorations I only used a few matching enamel dots and sequins. 




Whimsy products used:


VersaFine CLAIR Ink Pad - Morning Mist   Memento Full-Size Ink Pad - London Fog   *NEW Biker Kickstart My Heart       Memento Full-Size Ink Pad - Tuxedo Black    Copic Sketch Markers Cadmium Red [Pack Of 3] (3PK-R27S)           VersaFine CLAIR Ink Pad - Nocturne (black)   VersaMark Full-Size Ink Pad - Original (Clear)        *NEW Summer Breeze Enamel Dots

Your Friendship Lifts Me Up

Happy Weekend! Here's a card I made using Whimsy Stamps Bunny Balloons and Grass & Cloud Edger Die Set .



I cut out several cloud edges from white cardstock and sponged them lightly with tumbled glass distress ink. The bunnies were stamped with Memento black ink on white Hammermill cardstock  and fuzzy cut. The background layer was sponged with blue and pink distress inks and sprinkled with water before I stamped on the sentiment as well as some clouds (from the older Fly By clear set). I added the layers  of clouds with foam tape for a 3D effect. The bunnies were colored with Copics. To embellish my card I added some enamel dots between the cloud layers and some Stickles Stardust to the stamped clouds.
