Whimsy - Tuesday Tutorial Blingy Santa

I'm up on the Whimsy blog today with a tutorial showing you how I blinged up this fun Santa card. I know exactly which of my male relatives is getting this one!

Whimsy - Dragon Lights

I think the Whimsy dragon images are so darn cute, including the latest Dragon Christmas Cheer set. 

I spent a lot of time coloring this one, using blues which is rather unusual for me. LOVE how it turned out. 

I stamped some Gossip Holiday Girls snowflakes with Distress Oxide Tumbled Glass and added a sentiment from the Very Mice Christmas set.  How perfect is that sentiment with the image, right?!

Be sure to check out the rest of the new releases--it's well worth it!

Whimsy - Halloween Slimline

I have some leftover bits and pieces from other Whimsy cards that I thought would pair perfectly with the new Slimline Vertical Sentiment.

I sponged the card base with Distress Oxide Wilted Violet, Chipped Sapphire, Salty Ocean, and Blueprint Sketch after masking a moon.  I used my Copic airbrush to color the Slimline Hill House Die.  I used Copic B39, E49, G99, N9, and Y17.

I then added some ghosts from the Boo Dies set. I really like how they're peeking out and around the slimline vellum sentiment.

Be sure to take a look at the other goodies in the Whimsy shop as well as the posts of other DT members.  There's lots of inspiration to be had!

DB - Squirrelly Birthday

I'm on the Doodlebugs blog today with this uber cute birthday card!

Whimsy - Treats for the Retreat

Hello, everyone!  I'm super excited to be sharing the make 'n' takes I made for the Whimsy Virtual Weekend Retreat happening right this very minute. Woo hoo!

The first project is a treat box featuring HaBee Birthday, Nested Hexagon Dies, Honeycomb Pattern Die, and the Hexagon Treat Box Die.

 

I created a simple tab mechanism for the lid pop-up.

Any Little Shop of Horror fans out there?  This second card is creepy cool.  So many ways to customize the card base and the panel--change the colors, use patterned paper, etc.

I used the Feed Me, Get Well Dragons, Lattice A2 Die and Comic Speech Bubbles Dies here.

Feel free to leave a comment on this post if you have any questions or want to leave some love.  Happy retreating!

SOSS #171 - P for (Pink) Halloween 10/17

Time for (optional) Pink Halloween over at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! I couldn't resist using my new Picket Fence So Franken Cute set. Even Frankenstein dresses up for Halloween!  LOL.

I used Zigs and Polychromos; I've obviously missed my calling as a makeup artist. Ha!

Whimsy - Bundles of Hugs

I just received this Bundles of Hugs set from Whimsy Stamps and had to immediately play with it.  Well, "immediately."  Too bad work life interferes with real life!  LOL.

I placed the squirrel on top of the stump from the Polka Dot Pals Harley set.  I used the Flight of the Butterflies Stencil with Distress Oxide Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron to create a few layers of grass.

I love the Calico 6x6 Paper, don't you?  I'm not normally a navy person but navy with orange--I'm so there.

I happened to have a leftover piece of spattered watercolor paper so used that for the embossed sentiment. Like I said--I like orange!
