Whimsy Stamps Candy Corn Dress Up | 31 Nights of Halloween

Posted on October 27, 2020October 26, 2020 by pixiedonna

Whimsy Stamps Candy Corn Dress Up

Hi crafty friends! Are you enjoying the month-long inspiration of Halloween and prizes? It’s Donna from the Whimsy Stamps Video Team, and I am sharing a cutesy Halloween card featuring the Candy Corn Dress Up stamp set.

I started by stamping out all of the images onto solar white cardstock with Copic friendly ink and colored them in with Copic Markers. Then I used my ScanNCut to cut the images out.

Copic Markers: E35, YR07, YR04, YR12, E34, Y15, Y08, Y00, B17, B13, B04, B02, YG17, YG03, N7, N5, N3, N1, N0, C3, C1, C00

Whimsy Stamps Candy Corn Dress Up

For the background, I trimmed a piece of smooth cardstock down to 8.50” by 3.50” and ink blended the background using Distress Ink in Seedless Preserve, Picked Raspberry, and Dried Marigold.

I blended a small panel of smooth cardstock with Distress inks in Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn for the grass. I die cut the panel with the grass die from the Grass and Cloud Edger Dies.

Next, I added water splatters and white diluted paint across both of the panels and set those aside to dry.

While the panels were drying, I die cut several trees from the Forest Majesty Die Set and added Walnut Stain and Vintage Photo to ink them.

At this point, I had all of the elements, and it was time to start assembling the card. I added the background panel using liquid adhesive to a slimline card base. I used foam tape to add dimension to the grass border and added in all of the images.

To complete this card, I trimmed a piece of black cardstock, stamped the sentiment from the stamp set, popped it up on foam adhesive on the card front, and finally, added the clouds from the Happy Sky stamp set.

I hope you are enjoying the 31 Nights of Halloween and are inspired by all of the projects so far, don’t forget to enter the grand prize giveaway on the Whimsy Stamps Blog!

I stamped the image out on a piece of Neenah Solar White 80lb. cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Ink and used my Copic Markers to coloring and create the scene.

Whimsy Stamps Dragon Christmas Cheer | Copic Coloring One-layer Scene Card

Posted on October 20, 2020 by pixiedonna

Whimsy Stamps Dragon Christmas Cheer

Hey crafty friends! The Whimsy Stamps release is live now! I am excited to share with you a one-layer card featuring the newly released Dragon Christmas Cheer clear stamp set.

One of my favorite techniques is to create a one-layer scene card, either by stamping or hand-drawing some of the elements on a card.

I created a funny winter scene with the sweet but clumsy dragon all tangled up in Christmas lights.

Whimsy Stamps Dragon Christmas Cheer

I began by stamping out the image using Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 80lb. cardstock. Using a pencil, I lightly drew out the door, window, step, and snowbank.

Before beginning to color using Copic markers, I did erase the pencil marks because once the alcohol marker is added, the pencil line will not erase.

Copic Marker Combination

House: R29, R27, R24, R22, R20
Door: C7, C5, C3, C1
Door Frame: C3, C1, C00

Once the coloring was complete, I trimmed the panel down to an A2 sized card-front, heat embossed the sentiment onto a piece of black cardstock and popped the sentiment onto the card.

I added clear embossing powder to the background and heat set the image. Next, I used a rectangle die by Hero Arts to cut the panel.

I colored the image with Copic Markers and used the ScanNCut to cut the image out.

STAMptember 2020 | Whimsy Stamps Happy Pugmas

Posted on September 22, 2020September 26, 2020 by pixiedonna

Hey crafty friends, I am so excited to participate in the 2020 STAMptember with Simons Says Stamp. Whimsy Stamps is collaborating with Simon Says Stamp to bring you Happy Pugmas Clear Stamp. The stamp set is exclusive to Simon Says Stamp and will not be restocked, once it is sold out!

These silly little pugs are perfect for those Christmas cards for that “One Friend” we all have. I created two cards featuring all of the images from this stamp set.

Whimsy Stamps Happy Pugmas

For the first card, I ink blended a panel of Bristol Smooth cardstock with Distress Oxides in Spun Sugar, Shaded Lilac, and Blueprint Sketch. I spritzed some water across the panel and blotted it dry. Next, I splattered some diluted acrylic paint and left the panel to dry.

Using the Slimline Waves Die, I die cut a piece of white cardstock to create the snowy hills. To finish this card, I stamped out the sentiment with black Versafine Onyx Ink, added black embossing powder, and added the images to an 8.50” by 3.50” slimline card.

Whimsy Stamps Pugmas

For the second card, I ink blended a panel of white smooth cardstock using Distress Oxide ink in Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch at the top. I added a little sparkle with the Iridescent Glitz Glitter Gel by Therm O Web over the top of Twinkle Stencil.

Once the panel was dry, I trimmed it down and adhered it to a matted card base. Using the Kinetic Straight Waves Die set, I die cut two snowy hills and adhered them to the background panel.

I finished the card by adhering the three silly Pugs to the center of the card and adding the white embossed sentiment at the top.

I encourage you to head on over to Simon Says Stamp to purchase this exclusive stamp set while supplies last. The Happy Pugmas Stamp set is available as a single stamp or as a bundle with the coordinating die. Visit the Simon Says Stamp Blog for more inspiration.

Sounds of Halloween Video Hop | Whimsy Stamps Spooky Kitties

Posted on September 20, 2020September 26, 2020 by pixiedonna

Welcome to my stop on the Whimsy Stamps’ Sounds of Halloween Video Hop featuring the Whimsy Stamps’ Spooky Kitties Clear Stamp Set. This video is in collaboration with EZ Sounds Module from Invite By Voice Sound

Whimsy Stamps Spooky Kitties

The hardest part of recording the sound onto the module is finding the right sound for the card you will make. For my card, I wanted a witchy voice wishing Happy Halloween.

To begin my card, I created a card base by taking a 8.50″ by 11.50″ piece of cardstock and scoring the lengthwise panel at 3.75” at the first score line and 7.50” at the second scoreline. I created a second card base and combined the two together.

The images I used are from the newly released Spooky Kitties stamp set and I used my Copic Markers to color them in.

Copic Markers Combination

Cat: N9, N7, N5, N3, N1

For the background, I blended Distress ink in Wilted Violet, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot over the slimline panel. I also blended Evergreen Bough, Black Soot, and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Ink for the grassy hills.

Whimsy Stamps Spooky Kitties

Once all of the images and background elements adhered to the front panel, I began working on adding the sound module to the inside of the card.
