May All Your Dreams Come True - Unicorn Magic Challenge

Image
Hey Crafty-Friends! Time for another challenge with my friends Alanna and Faye. This time we are using the cute Unicorn Magic stamp set and each of us is using a different coloring medium. It's my time to use pencils. Please visit Alanna's blog here and Faye's blog here to see their amazing Unicorn creations! I colored the image with CaranD'ache Luminance and CaranD'ache Pablo pencils. The image was stamped with Inkon3 Fade Out ink onto kraft mixed media paper. I combined the new Slimline Cloud die with a sheet of the Bokeh Bliss papers to create the background for my unicorn. The sentiment is included in the Unicorn stamp set. Whimsy products used: Thanks for visiting! Hugs,

Alpha and the Omega

Hi there! I am back today to show more of my release creations for Whimsy's March 1st release . The NEW Savior dies and Savior sentiments combined with the NEW Glorious Sky Slimline Papers make perfect Easter cards or Condolence & spiritual cards.  There's no coloring involved this time in my first card. It's an all die cut card. Just the sentiment is stamped. Together with the  Glorious Sky Slimline Papers   and the Slimline Cloud die the   Savior dies  and  Savior sentiments  make a perfect Easter card.  On my second card I just used the  Glorious Sky Slimline Papers   and the 3 crosses die from the   Savior die   set and cut them out from black cardstock . I wanted the background papers to stand out. This paper pack is fantastic and one of my favorite Slimeline paper packs so far. I just added a frame cut from white glitter paper to give the card a bit of a subtle sparkle. I omitted the sentiment because I think in this case less is more. This card is ma

Unicorn Magic - Whimsy March 1st Mini Release

Hey Peeps! Can you believe it's March already? Where did the time go. It feels as if Christmas was just last week...jeeeez! Anyhow, it's March Mini Release time at Whimsy Stamps . Here is my first creation for this release using the utterly adorable Unicorn Magic stamps by Dustin Pike. This is a one layer (even though that the image is cut out and adhered to the card front I see it as a one layer card) A2 size topfold card.  I colored the little fella with Dr Ph Martin Bombay Inks and Derwent Colorsoft pencils. Because I like to combine coloring mediums I often stamp my images onto Strathmore 400 Series Mixed Media paper. The doodlings are stamped using two different stamp sets from Whimsy. I listed them below in the product link list. Whimsy Stamps products used: Thanks for stopping by! I have more new release creations to show tomorrow! Hugs,

Whimsy Stamps New Release - Meme FYI

Image
Hey Friends , guess what! It's release time at Whimsy Stamps again. Like every 10 days we're having a new mini-release in the store .   Here is my card with some of the new stamps combined with previously released dies. I started out by stamping the NEW WTF Background Stamp onto light blue cardstock with Versafine Clair Warm Breeze. I cut it to 5 1/4" x 4" and layered it on top of a white, topfold, portrait A2 size card base. I then stamped the image and sentiment from the NEW Meme FYI   onto white Hammermill 100lb cardstock. I fussy cut the image and die cut the sentiment with one of the Speech Bubbles die set. I decided to leave the image uncolored. I wanted it to match the sentiment and large word and make everything really stand out from the blue background. The L arge Word and Shadow die UGH!  was also cut out from white Hammermill 100lb cardstock. The UGH! shadow has been cut out from black cardstock. I also cut out another speechbubble from black cardstoc

Slimline Pocket Birthday Card

Image
Hey Fellow Papercrafters! Today I have another slimline card to share using the NEW  Slimline Scalloped Edge Pocket Die Set together with the previously released Slimline Pillows die , Slimline Vertical Sentiments and Bookmark and Tags die set. I chose only two bold colors for my slimline card - black and lime green. I think they work perfectly together as are the NEW Slimline St. Patrick's Day papers which I used for my background. The pocket is created very easily with the  Slimline Scalloped Edge Pocket Die  and can also be used as gift card holder in addition to the tag I made. Decorating the pocket is easy with the included butterfly die.  I cut the large tag from the  Bookmark and Tags  die set from vellum paper and stamped the sentiment from the  Slimline Vertical Sentiments  with Black Stazon Pigment Ink. A matching chiffon ribbon and some pearls added to the butterflies are finishing off my card. Whimsy products used: Hugs,

Fairies and Gnomes - Whimsy Stamps February 10th Mini Release

Image
Happy Wednesday and Welcome to another Whimsy Stamps Mini Release!   This time I am visiting the magical world of fairies and gnomes and with the newly released Whimsy products its easy to create this magical fairy garden on my card. To create my card I started out by making a horizontal top-fold slimline card which is 3.5 x 8.5 inches in size. I then chose one of the new Slimline Enchanted Forest Papers  as my background.  The frame on top is the Slimline Waves die, cut from white glitter paper. I then used the Build a Fairy Garden die set to create the scene.  I die cut the mushrooms from mixed media and glitter paper and colored all non glittery parts with Copic markers. The little fairy was die cut from green glitter paper. I used the fairy dust die to create a stencil for applying matching green glitter.  The cute gnome couple is from the Gnome One Like You clear stamp set as is the sentiment. The image was colored with Copics as well. Some die cut butterflies from vellum
