I have an elegant sympathy card over on the Doodlebugs blog today. Don't make me sad--go check it out!

Whimsy - Summer Friends

Isn't the Whimsy Imogen image the cutest? We have a new designer on board who's been knocking it out of the park these last couple of months. I'm looking forward to seeing more of her work for sure.

I started the card by sponging the card front with a touch of Distress Oxide Mowed Lawn and Salty Ocean.

I then stamped the Imogen images using Memento Tuxedo Black and colored them up with Copics.  I added some grass flicks too.

Creating the little scene was fun. Just look at her saying hello to her little butterfly friend. The scene is so summery, I used one of the sentiments from the Ant You Sweet set, stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black.

Hey, ya'll. I'm up on the Doodlebugs blog reminiscing about my childhood in the Midwest. Come on down to the farm for a bit of a visit, why don't you?

Whimsy - Boy Birthday

I didn't get the chance to use all of the Christmas goodies I had picked up at the end of last year, did you?  My crafty eyes were waaaay bigger than my crafty plate!

Well, I'm pleased to say I'm using a Christmas goody here. Any guesses? I'll give you a second. . . . If you guessed the paper, you're right!

If you look closely you'll see the balloons are actually ornaments upside down. Yay me for using the Cozy Winter 6x6 Paper! I cut it out with the Wonky Stitched Rectangle Dies, which is quickly becoming one of my go-to dies.

I paired the balloons with the new Goth Doll Boy set, stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics.  The sentiment is stamped with Stazon as the paper is a little glossy and I didn't want the ink the smear.

I added a few sequins and Ranger Glossy Accents to the eyes.  So fun!

I hope this card inspires you to look at your supplies with fresh eyes. In the meantime, why don't you take a look at the goodies in the Whimsy shop.

See you soon!

Whimsy - Miso

Only 6 more sleeps until Valentine's day and even less if you're mailing them out--eek!

With this card, I've paired the new Connected Oval Frame along with last month's Valentine Puns and Starring Hearts 6x6 Paper.

That swirly frame goes so well with the Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die I used to cut out the card front, don't you think?

I had cut it out of pink then decided to cut it out in kraft as well.  To be honest I was surprised at how much I liked that center panel being cut from kraft. Never be afraid to try an idea!

I'll have another Whimsy card for you next week.  In the meantime, why don't you check out the Whimsy shop.

Whimsy - February Release Day

Hello, everyone!  It's the monthly release day at Whimsy Stamps and I'm so excited to be sharing the card I made using the new stamp set, Goth Doll Girl, and new dies, Primitive Shaker Shapes.

I sponged the card base with Distress Oxide Mustard Yellow and Ripe Persimmon then spattered a bit of water.

I cut out the stars from the Primitive Shaker Shapes dies from this panel and again in black. I glued the layers together to they would pop up from the card front.

Next I colored up the Goth Doll Girl image with Copics. I wanted to put in a floor but funky so used  the Goth Skulls Background rubber stamp with VersaFine Onyx Black. I then stamped the sentiment in the same.



It's hard to see but I coated the stars with Wink of Stella. It reactivated the Distress Oxides and created a fab streaky effect.

Have a great day and I'll see you soon with another Whimsy card.  In the meantime, why don't you take a gander at the other goodies in the Whimsy shop.
