Hi Everyone! Today I have 2 creations to share using the super adorable Bizzy Bees clear stamp set from Whimsy Stamps. This set was part of a paper Door kit last month which sold out in record time of only 4 hours!  Because of the high demand for these products they were released as individual products on July 1st as part of the regular release. So if you lucked out on the Paper Door kit last month, go and grab your Bizzy Bees and all the other items that were included in the kit now in the store HERE .  On top of that for everyone who missed out on the kit Whimsy is offering a coupon for 25% off. This coupon is for the kit contents only! Use code BizzyBee25  Valid until tomorrow July 7th 2020. On my first card I decided to do a bit of a mixed media background using the Honeycomb Drip Stencil . I used Distress inks, pencils, gold watercolor and a golden DecoColor Marker to achieve a shiny gold effect on the drips. The Bizzy Bees were colored with Distress Inks and I used

Happy Whimsy Stamps Release Day! Welcome to my blog today and to Whimsy Stamps first release for July 2020. Visit the Whimsy Store HERE to see all the new products. For my release project I made a slimline card using the NEW Slimline Five Frames Die and the NEW Hello Bear clear stamp set as well as the NEW Bizzy Bee 6x6 papers .  I colored my images with Copics and used one of the  Bizzy Bee papers   as my background. What I love about the   Slimline Five Frames Die   is that you have five separate little frames which gives you a ton of possibilities to use. You can get really artsy with these frames. LOVE it!!!

Hi Everyone! Summertime = Ice Cream Time! Who doesn't love to indulge in some ice cream on a hot Summer day?! I know I do! I used the cute accessories stamps from the NEW Polka Dot Pals Kezia set to create my shaker card. The shaker frame was die cut using the NEW FADoodles Frames Scalloped Rectangles die set.  I colored the images with my Tombow ABT Pro markers and they were stamped with Memento ink onto Hammermill Digital Color Copy Cardstock 100lb. The sentiment is from the Giraffe Peeking set. Here is a list for all the Whimsy products I've used:                           Thanks for visiting! Hugs,

Giraffe Hello

Hello Friends! A little late but I want to share my creations for Whimsy Stamps latest mini release. Unfortunately some pretty sad real life events kept me from doing so last week. Here is my first creation using the super adorable Giraffes Peeking stamp set illustrated by Dustin Pike and the awesome FADoodles Frames by Faye. I stamped with Ink on 3 Blackout Hybrid Ink onto Strathmore Mixed Media Paper and colored the image using Altenew's Watercolor Brush Markers. The sentiment is included in the  FADoodles Frames  set as is the little flower. I stamped the little flower onto white shrink plastic to make my own little matching charm. The BG paper I've used is from the  Cosmic 6x6 paper pad . A few different sized sequins in matching colors finish off my card. Altenew Watercolor Markers used: Sea Breeze Rouge Lava Rock Paper Bag Midnight Violet Warm Sunshine Other: Inkon3 Liquid Pixie Dust Here is a list for all the Whimsy products I've used:

Happy TGIF Peeps! It is a rainy afternoon here on Floridas Space Coast. So it was the perfect time to assemble my newest Whimsy creation. I've colored this cute monkey two days ago already but didn't have the time to finish my card until today.  The stamp set is called NEW Monkey Sundae from Whimsy Stamps Dustin Pike collection. I've stamped with Antique Linen Distress Ink onto Arches Cold Press Watercolor Paper. I went for a no-lines watercolor technique using Karin Brushmarker Pro. I love these markers because there are so many coloring techniques you can use them for and their vibrancy is just phenomenal. A little bit goes a real long way with these markers! I've listed the marker colors used below. For my background I've used the NEW 'Burst' Background Stamp with 3 different colored blue inks to enhance the burst effect. Also new this month the Oops Word & Shadow Die . For my card the shadow was cut form black cardstock and for
